The prices are not cheap, but the food is delicious and the portion size is not too big, it's elegant. It feels like a Chinese restaurant for adults. There is a rare rotating table in the tatami seat area. I have a memory of coming here with my family in childhood and using the rotating table. I ate century egg for the first time at that time, but I have not eaten it since then. LOL The menu has Chinese names with pronunciation, Japanese menu names, and sequential numbers listed. I remember when my father bravely ordered in Chinese pronunciation, the waiter said, "Which number are you ordering?" You can still place an order just by giving the number, just like in the old days. LOL

The price was quite high, but since I was dining alone, I didn't mind spending a bit more. The pork rib noodles were hot, so be careful not to burn your upper palate like I did if you're too greedy. Even though it said "soba," it was actually Chinese noodles that absorbed the soup well. Adding pepper for a change in flavor is also a good idea when you want more impact. The fried rice was about the size of a fist and cost 800 yen. They were both so delicious that I finished them both, but the pork rib noodles required more chewing so I was quite full just from that. I really wanted to try the mapo tofu noodles, but they didn't have them. I came back again and ordered the beef rice bowl with vegetables ramen. The vegetable ramen suited my taste perfectly and I really enjoyed it. Please give it a try when you visit.
