About Oyako Tei

Oyako Tei is a local gem serving delicious home-style food at affordable prices. With a focus on freshly made dishes, the restaurant offers a variety of options, including the fried rice special with egg over easy and Portuguese sausage, as well as other favorites like spam musubi and piggy breakfast. The owners and staff put love into their food, and the cozy, no-frills atmosphere makes it a great place for a quick, satisfying meal. Customers praise the flavorful, perfectly textured fried rice and the large bento with three different types of meat. The menu is limited, which ensures all items are made very well, though it can mean some dishes sell out early. For example, even when arriving two hours before closing, some items like Oyako Don may be unavailable, and waiting times for made-to-order dishes like salmon don can reach 45 minutes. Still, the food is freshly prepared and feels like comfort food from home. The friendly staff, including the owner, are attentive and accommodating, sometimes offering to set up a table even if it’s primarily a takeout spot. Many customers appreciate the family-run business atmosphere, great prices, and homemade flavors that leave a lasting impression.
