Outing Spots

2017.06.19

๐Ÿ“Œ What You’ll Learn in This Article
A Sarukuma writer’s first-hand report on “Shinkam Golden Lion” in Kumamoto City. Price guide: from 1,250 yen. We’ve also covered family-friendly tips, access, and opening hours.

Today we’re spotlighting
“Shinkam Golden Lion,”
tucked away in Oe, Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City.

Although it sits quietly in a residential neighborhood,
it’s bustling almost every day.
At lunchtime, you can enjoy
authentic ethnic Asian cuisine
served buffet-style!

Reservations can be made by phone,
so if you’d rather not wait,
be sure to give them a call ahead of time!

Recommended Menu

The lunch buffet is
1,250 yen for adults on weekdays, with a 200 yen surcharge on weekends and holidays.

Personally,
I highly recommend the basil-infused green curry.
If you love spicy flavors,
feel free to adjust the heat with the chili-infused nam pla (fish sauce) provided!

Access

The previously separate parking lot is gone,
and parking has returned to the original spot right next to the restaurant โ€”
2 spaces side by side, with 4 spaces total in tandem parking.
(Look for the white car and the space next to it.)
There’s also coin parking nearby,
so if the spaces are full, please use that as a backup!
