Pasta-ya

The signature chicken-and-salt stir-fried pasta combines noodles with chicken and green pepper. The menu describes its standard serving as generous, and highlights the toasty flavour of the stir-fried noodles. One diner who ordered it for lunch found the hearty portion—with chicken, green pepper and onion—satisfying, and praised its savoury seasoning.

For a little variety, try the spices on the table. One diner enjoyed the chicken-and-salt pasta with several, including curry garlic, chilli and Sichuan pepper, and a seaweed seasoning.

Another classic to consider is the shiso-scented pasta generously topped with cod roe. This Japanese-style pasta lets the roe’s texture and saltiness shine, with the fragrance of shiso as the menu name promises. A diner who ordered the 600g serving liked the pleasantly firm noodles and abundant cod roe, and described it as a dish they kept coming back to. The Bolognese is another option available in different sizes, made with plenty of minced meat. One diner who had a large serving at lunch was pleased with the seasoning and finished the plate after adding table condiments and Tabasco.

The menu also includes tomato pasta, carbonara and pork-and-spring-onion pasta, with options ranging from tangy tomato sauces to Japanese-style soy sauce with a generous hit of garlic. Some dishes come in a choice of serving sizes, and the restaurant is also presented as a place to dine solo. Choose the signature chicken-and-salt pasta for a substantial meal, or the Japanese-style pasta when you’re in the mood for cod roe.
