Marutoma Shokudo - Tomakomai

After 6 o'clock. it was half full. the cafe was full at 7 o'clock and the people began to wait outside. we had marutoma don and curry rays. both were beautiful! the sashimi don was very cheap.

Excellent choice if you are going to tomakomai! 1500yen for mixed seafood rice bowl. 30 mins drive from the airport, maybe your first good meal after landing.

Must visit this place! Go early to avoid the queue. Their seafood is amazing at a reasonable price. We love their hokki curry rice, seafood rice bowl and best of all, their vinegared mackerel sashimi

A hidden gem but judging by the reviews on TripAdvisor and the long queue of locals that greeted me, I'm in for something exciting. And their signature dish ホッキカレー didn't disappoint. I was just a tad annoyed that I tried to order 2 things on the menu but the lady said the don't have it anymore... Hmmm then why display them on the menu? Come early or expect long queues. They don't take reservations.

I couldn't make it for the closing time which is 2pm. There still was a line of people outside around 2:15pm and the last ones probably couldn't get in. Definitely next time!!
