Getting bored of saying おいしいかった！
Is there a natural way to say you feel good, satisfied, or that food “hit the spot” in Japanese? I feel like I have heard something before but have not been able to find anything that seems accurate online. I’m comfortable using おいしいかった if it’s the best way to articulate these ideas but when someone cooks a homemade meal or we eat an especially large amount or something unique to a place I would like to mix it up. Thanks for any recommendations!

When I was in Japan I always used 旨い (うまい) or 旨かった (うまかった)
In informal setting you may use phrases like すげーうめー！マジ最高だ！めっちゃおいしい！ etc.
おなかがいっぱい。It literally means my stomach is full and could be another way to express you’re satisfied with the food you just ate in an informal setting.
If I’m in casual company I often say 食った、食った！
I didn’t see anyone else say this, and maybe it was just a mistype but it’s おいしかった (just one い).
Regarding your question, I think おいしい and うまい are pretty much what everyone uses to describe tasty food. I don’t know of any other common ways to describe how good food is
うまし！ 春日Style
ごちそうさまでした maybe?
Found some expressions that I might see in a literature or hear in a foodie show. Link to the source -> https://hyogen.info/scate/589721
