About this place
At Star Restaurant, omurice gratin is an appealing choice with several variations to explore. Chicken rice, made with chicken, mushrooms, corn and onion, is topped with soft egg, cheese and sauce, then baked. Choose the combination of cheese and demi-glace, or try a version with European-style curry, white sauce, hamburg steak or beef stew. The menu describes the dish being baked slowly in the oven until the cheese melts into the other ingredients. One diner who visited for lunch recalled enjoying the gratin piping hot; another recommended the carbonara-style version with crisp bacon.
For a simpler take, try the classic omurice. The tomato-ketchup version costs 940 yen, while the demi-glace version is 990 yen. You can also choose toppings such as crab cream croquette or pork cutlet. Beyond omurice, the menu includes a 180 g hamburg steak with a choice of cheese or teriyaki sauce, as well as a combination with fried prawns. A diner who ordered the A Lunch set with hamburg steak and seafood fry-up recalled the juicy steak and the texture of the scallop and fried prawn.
For dessert, consider a parfait made with soft-serve ice cream from Miyama milk. The chocolate parfait comes with classic chocolat, while other options include a strawberry parfait and a jumbo-size version with mascarpone. For a lighter finish, there is also crème brûlée served with soft-serve ice cream. Lunch sets can include a drink, a small salad and soup. Decide whether to make omurice, hamburg steak or seafood the centrepiece, then leave room for something sweet.
