Find out what you should order from the menu at this super popular family restaurant chain.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n For the past few years, our team of Japanese-language reporters has been visiting the nation\u2019s top chains, setting themselves a challenge to find out what customers can get for 1,000 yen (US$6.62)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This time, they\u2019ve pulled up a chair at Denny\u2019s<\/strong>, where each member of the team ordered their top recommendations, creating a moniker for their selections and sharing the reasons why they chose them.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start the proceedings with\u2026<\/p>\n \u25bc Yuichiro Wasai\u2019s \u201cDouble Morning Set of Japanese and Western Food\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 990 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIf you want to eat both Japanese and Western food like you\u2019re at a hotel buffet, this set fulfills that wish while staying within the 1,000 yen budget. The trick is to order the Japanese set meal with the sandwich on the side, and then, with the yoghurt and all-you-can drink option, you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re at a fancy hotel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u25bc Masanuki Sunakoma\u2019s \u201cStraightforward Lunch Plate\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 990 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no Denny\u2019s near my place, so getting to a branch early for breakfast like Yuichiro isn\u2019t realistic. Therefore, the daily lunch plate is my recommended choice. When I visited on Wednesday the daily special was a curry hamburg steak, and it\u2019s a great meal for 990 yen, especially with the included all-you-can-drink drink bar option.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u25bc Takashi Harada\u2019s \u201cElegant Beer Time Set\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 968 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019d been a long time since I last visited Denny\u2019s so the prices on the menu were a bit of a shock as there were so few options under 1,000 yen. I initially considered ordering a set with a salad or dessert, but my heart wasn\u2019t in it so I gave in to my desire for a beer, and I was able to sneak in a couple of croquettes with it \u2014 great for a senbero drinking session<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u25bc Ahiruneko\u2019s \u201cLittle Luxury Set While Working\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 990 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAll Denny\u2019s branches have power outlets and free Wi-Fi and they tend to be less crowded than caf\u00e9s, so it\u2019s the perfect place to get a bit of work done. Plus, you can treat yourself to a Mini Chocolate Sundae and the drink bar to help lift your mood while working.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u25bc Takamichi Furusawa\u2019s \u201cEnjoy an Afternoon with Sweets Set\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 978 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI had a peek at the menu online before going to Denny\u2019s, and I was surprised to see that the prices were generally higher than other family restaurants. Pasta dishes are around 1,000 yen, so one dish quickly hits the limit of the budget, and I wanted to enjoy as many Denny\u2019s items as possible so I created a relatively affordable sweets and drink set for an enjoyable afternoon. Out of everything on the sweets menu, the pancakes stood out and they ended up being incredibly delicious. Fluffy and hot, with vanilla ice cream gently melting away on top, they\u2019re a fantastic choice, and if you pay 43 yen at the register you can get a drink to take out with you when you leave.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc Mr Sato\u2019s \u201cOverpriced School Cafeteria Set\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 990 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThere were so few options under 1,000 yen on the menu that it truly shocked me. So I went with the daily lunch plate, which Masanuki also opted for, but to me it reminded me of a school cafeteria dish, and an expensive one at that. The taste wasn\u2019t bad, but it was a stark reminder of how expensive things are becoming in Japan.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u25bc P.K. Sanjun\u2019s \u201cHonestly, This is a Set that Can Only Be Taken on in the Morning\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 957 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cFrankly, a 1,000 yen budget at Denny\u2019s is really tough to stick to as recent price hikes are seriously insane. To me, only the breakfast options remain competitively priced so I gave up on ordering a lunch or dinner meal, opting for breakfast instead.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc Seiji Nakazawa\u2019s \u201cDenny\u2019s Curry for 440 Yen Set\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 968 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI reckon the best value for money at Denny\u2019s is the curry. This isn\u2019t actually a curry dish that\u2019s listed on the menu as it\u2019s my secret hack: order three of the curry sauces with a plate of rice and you\u2019ve got yourself a \u2018Denny\u2019s Curry\u2019! It tastes like normal curry and it gives you enough money left over to order caramel honey pancakes or fries without going over budget. You can even replace one of the curry sauces with garlic sauce for a slightly spicy European flavour. Try it!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc Yoshio\u2019s<\/strong> \u201cTop Secret Set Learned From an American\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 979 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMy relative in America secretly taught me this hack when they came to Japan. The cod roe mayonnaise sauce on fries is seriously delicious \u2014 it\u2019s so good it ought to replace ketchup. The American who taught me this hack is also a huge fan of Japanese cod roe pasta so I reckon this Denny\u2019s meal could become a viral hit with tourists. It goes great with a side of wine so please give it a try!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc Go Hatori\u2019s \u201cThe Poor Days Set\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 968 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was young, around the age of 18, my friend and I had no money but lots of time. We often went out at night to Denny\u2019s, ordered the very minimum, and talked until dawn. I usually ordered Chicken Jambalaya as it was relatively cheap but now it\u2019s over budget, at 1,089 yen, so I wasn\u2019t able to try it. How times have changed. Instead, I ordered a large rice plus a side of fried chicken, which is a filling meal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u25bc Mariko Ohanabatake\u2019s<\/strong> \u201cOriginal Jambalaya American Satisfaction Set\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Total: 990 yen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis 1,000 yen challenge was so tough it made me want to cry. Prices have really gone up compared to what they were before, but thankfully I could still order Denny\u2019s original jambalaya. It\u2019s a popular menu item that disappears and reappears every now and then, so you should grab it while you can. It\u2019s spicier than expected, and pairing it with a vegetable-rich cobb salad is a nice nod to America, the original home of Denny\u2019s.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n So there you have it \u2014 a wide variety of options to choose from at Denny\u2019s. The choices under 1,000 yen have narrowed significantly, but with some careful planning, and hacks shared by our reporters, you can still get a pretty good meal at the chain.
