I was so impressed by the food at "Kouton Chuubou Yui An" that I found myself thinking about when I could go there next while still eating. I first visited the restaurant because I saw it on a late-night TV show and it was located in an area I frequent, so I was curious to try it out. With the spread of the infection, I have been avoiding dining out with anyone other than my family, so most of my meals out have been solo. In this context, I was delighted to find a new favorite restaurant where I could feel comfortable dining alone. I arrived at the restaurant around 1 pm on a weekday and climbed a slightly steep staircase to find a bright and clean establishment. The staff kindly welcomed me to choose any seat I liked, which heightened my expectations. I opted for the "Select Lunch" set, which is a bit more expensive for one person but seemed worth it for my first meal at this restaurant. The set included a soft drink (which could be upgraded to alcohol for an additional fee), a salad with fresh vegetables and shredded dim sum skins, a fluffy shrimp and egg dish, mapo tofu, and a selection of three dim sum items. The other options for the set included dishes like chili shrimp and mayo shrimp, providing a variety of choices. For the rice or noodle option, I chose the salted ankake yakisoba, which was delicious with its crispy cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, and plentiful shrimp. The set also came with dessert, and I was impressed by the quality of the food, which tasted like it could be served at a high-end hotel or luxury restaurant for double the price. The value for money at this restaurant was exceptional, especially considering its location in the Maruyama Park area, known for its expensive establishments. I returned to the restaurant a week later to try the clam ramen, which was also excellent with its generous portion of large clams that were both refreshing and flavorful. The staff's subtle attentiveness, even though it was only my second visit, was also appreciated. I look forward to dining at "Kouton Chuubou Yui An" again, both for lunch and dinner, despite the current limitations on evening dining. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I liked it so much that I also went for lunch. There are various options like noodles, fried rice, and set meals, but I chose the pork fillet black vinegar sweet and sour pork. I also ordered a mixed plate of 5 kinds of dim sum. The portion size is not as large as a typical local Chinese restaurant, but the pork fillet in the side dish is substantial, and the dim sum has originality and is delicious. I'm likely to become a heavy user. Thank you for the meal!

I was curious and decided to visit. I made a reservation just in case, but there were only two groups including us. The owner was running the place alone. We ordered a variety of dishes including xiaolongbao, dumplings with scallops, pan-fried dumplings, shrimp mayo, mapo tofu, and Cantonese-style fried noodles. The portion size for each dish was just right for two people. Although it's not on the regular menu, I would like to try the crab sauce fried rice next time. Everything was delicious, but the shrimp mayo was unique as it was served with mayonnaise on top. The mapo tofu had just the right amount of Sichuan pepper, making it easy for my daughter to eat. The most impressive dish was the Cantonese-style fried noodles. The char siu was great and the seasoning was fantastic. They also offer lunch, so I would like to come back again. Thank you for the meal!

I went to the back street festival thinking I would have lunch at a food stall, but it was crowded with people. There were long lines at the popular shops. I gave up and decided to look for a different place, which led me here. It was a bit late for lunch, but this place was empty. The dim sum was delicious. Well, the fried rice and noodles were also tasty. I had a chance to have a set meal, but it was too hot so I chose noodles instead. They looked beautiful and tasted great. The sesame flavor and the perfect thinness of the noodles were just to my liking. I didn't taste any prickly ash. The spiciness was also mild. I wanted to drink it all up, but I'm at an age where I should stop.

Address: 2F Daigo Choshoan Building, 24-1-30 Odori Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. The entrance is located upstairs with a menu board outside. The restaurant is completely non-smoking, which is great. Inside, there are counter seats and several 4-person tables. I chose the Select Lunch for 2000 yen, which includes a drink, salad, 3 dishes, and dessert. The Highball was a bit weak, but the Salad was delicious with crispy spring roll skin toppings. The Shrimp and Egg Chili, Mapo Tofu, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Dan Dan Noodles were all flavorful and well-prepared. The Almond Jelly dessert was also tasty. I would love to try their black fried rice next time.

After a long time, I visited Kyan again. It was a weekday around 1 pm, with about 3 customers already there. I ordered the daily special, Mapo Harusame set for 800 yen. It came with pickled vegetables and seaweed soup. The Mapo Harusame was simple, with eggs and minced meat, but the flavor was still delicious. Today's dish wasn't too spicy, so I didn't burn my mouth this time. And of course, I had seconds of rice as usual. The cost performance of 800 yen for this meal is amazing. Thank you for the meal!

Fried rice with pickled mustard greens. I came here for a quick meal in the neighborhood for the first time. There was only one group of customers before me. Maybe I arrived a bit late. The fried rice with homemade char siu was tasty. There were various menu options besides the daily special. I didn't taste much of the pickled mustard greens. There was a generous amount of char siu. The fried rice was delicious and fluffy. The soup was tasty. The pickles were sweet. The pickled ginger was a nice touch. Thank you for the meal. There is also a Chinese restaurant across the street, so the variety has increased.

I finally visited this restaurant after 5 years since its opening. The menu is so extensive that it's hard to decide what to order. I was drawn to the beef fillet steak, but my husband reminded me that we came here for Chinese food. So, we ended up ordering: - Gyoza (4 pieces) - Xiao Long Bao (2 pieces) - Spring rolls (2 pieces) - Shrimp chili - Mapo tofu - Black fried rice - Almond jelly The dishes had a gentle flavor profile, not overloaded with Chinese spices. The shrimp chili and mapo tofu were not too spicy, making them easy to eat. The gyoza was filled with plenty of cabbage and the filling was delicious. The xiao long bao had a well-encased soup inside. The spring roll skin was crispy and fragrant. If you prefer heavy and greasy Chinese food, this might not be satisfying for you, but I was happy with it. Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant is close to my office, so I use it occasionally. As always, this place offers great cost performance. Today's daily special was sweet and sour pork set meal. It was still hot as usual, and the taste was delicious as always. Of course, I had seconds. Thank you for the meal♪

Located on the second floor facing west of Maruyama Food Center, this Cantonese cuisine restaurant offers delicious dishes with a gentle flavor. Despite being Chinese cuisine, the taste is mild and enjoyable. I ordered a smaller portion of rice, and the owner kindly mentioned that I could ask for seconds if needed. The service lunch costs 680 yen. Thank you for the meal.

Visited the restaurant after the suspension of alcohol service due to the new coronavirus infection in autumn 2021. The owner, who was running the restaurant alone, was very kind and helpful. The tipsy set includes 2 drinks, a platter of 3 appetizers, a chef's choice dish, and a selected main dish. Although it is a Chinese restaurant, the flavors were mild overall, making it a fun tipsy experience. Tipsy set for 1800 yen.

I was drawn to the lunch menu displayed outside and went up a narrow staircase to the second floor, where I found a bright and clean restaurant. They had daily specials and regular lunch menu items. I ordered the daily special that day. The lightly seasoned and elegant simmered striped jack was delicious and tender. The lunch set with simmered striped jack cost 850 yen.

"Horo-syoi set 1800 yen at Asahiyama Koen Station nearby. Light and healthy authentic Cantonese cuisine at a reasonable price! A cozy place for solo diners too (๑´∀`). A sudden climb up the stairs to the 2nd floor, the interior is bright and clean. Having a drink and a light snack, the set is convenient! The 'Horo-syoi set' includes 3 appetizers, today's special dish, and a choice of one dish with 2 drinks for a total of 1800 yen including tax. I tried Kuihua Chenjiu, thinking it's a Chinese thing, but the alcohol taste is mild (^^; The 3 appetizers were long eggplant..., mountain jellyfish..., and homemade menma. I can only remember the first and last ones haha. The content is common, but the quality is completely different! Delicious (ﾟДﾟ)!! Next, the 'today's special dish' was Fried Willow Dance and fried chicken wings, served hot! The chicken wings are boneless and easy to eat as they are. The light and crispy texture of the Willow Dance is not heavy at all despite being fried. You can choose one dish from: Shrimp in chili sauce, Shrimp in mayonnaise, Sweet and sour pork fillet, Mapo tofu, Liver and garlic chives. I chose shrimp of course! I always crave spicy food, so I chose 'Shrimp in chili sauce'. The plump shrimp with rice in a spicy sauce is delicious (*´艸`)ﾏｲｳ Despite being a set, there is no cutting corners, they are made with care. The owner, who runs the business alone, exudes a good personality from the atmosphere. This is a great restaurant! Highly recommended ( ´∀｀ )b Thank you for the meal (^ω^)"

The restaurant is located near my company, so I often go there for lunch. The shop is quietly located on the second floor. The interior is small but clean. The daily lunch special is either 680 yen or 650 yen. I have been there many times, but I have never had the same menu twice. Today's lunch was stir-fried pork and daikon. It was a well-balanced dish with Chinese cabbage and potatoes. And during lunch, you can get free refills! Also, they always serve a thick Chinese seaweed soup and pickled daikon. It's delicious, and for this price, it's a great deal. I will continue to visit this place. One thing to note is that the dishes are very hot when served fresh (the food, soup, and rice). If you forget and eat quickly, you might burn your mouth lightly. Maybe it's the owner's insistence on serving dishes piping hot. Let's enjoy the food slowly. Thank you for the meal♪

I wanted to eat fried rice so I decided to dine out. I felt bad just ordering one dish, so of course I'll have a drink as well (excuses, excuses). I ordered the slightly tipsy set to start by quenching my thirst. It comes with a platter of three appetizers, today's special dish, a selection of four items, and two drinks. They seem to be proud of their dim sum (I heard it on TV), but I already tried it during lunch, so this time I'll go for the fried rice. It's hard to resist the temptation though. Fried rice just tastes better when made by professionals. The texture is different. There's another Chinese restaurant nearby, but personally I prefer this one. I want to eat more, but I'll stop here for today. I'll definitely come back again.

Finally, Hokkaido is starting to feel like summer. Feeling a bit tired, I want to recharge my energy. My companion wanted Chinese food, so we decided to try this relatively new restaurant with good reviews. It's located on the second floor of a small building. We arrived right at the opening time of 11:30. We sat at the counter and ordered the lunch course (2000 yen) and dim sum lunch (1300 yen, I think... I forgot the exact price). We were served fresh vegetables first, followed by spring rolls. The hot spring rolls should not be rushed, so we waited a bit before eating. The crispy skin and flavorful filling made them delicious. Next came the daikon mochi, served with a light soup. The mochi was chewy and tasty. The soup had a slightly salty taste, and I couldn't quite tell if it had shark fin in it. Then we had shrimp chili with Chinese pancakes, and sweet and sour chicken. The dishes had a gentle and mellow flavor, though slightly sweet for my taste. The meal ended with a soup soba, which was light and satisfying. For dessert, we had almond tofu and coconut-covered mochi. The almond tofu was tasty but not my favorite. Overall, with the variety of dishes we had, I feel ready to face the upcoming heat. Thank you for the meal!

It's Sunday afternoon, and I was planning to visit a beef tongue restaurant that had recently moved from Kuwon to a new location. However, it seems that it has been replaced by a new restaurant called "Ketsuan." Initially, they only offered set courses for lunch and dinner, which made me hesitant to visit. But when I saw that they now offer a la carte options on the menu board at the entrance, I decided to give it a try. The restaurant has three table seats and about four to five counter seats, all neatly arranged. The service by the female staff was polite and made the atmosphere very comfortable. The menu includes a 2,000 yen course as well as individual items such as Char Siu Soup Soba for 800 yen, Tomato Cold Noodles for 800 yen, and Fried Rice (with soup) for 800 yen. I ordered the "Shrimp and Egg in Chili Sauce Lunch" for 980 yen and the "Dim Sum Lunch" for 1,300 yen. The shrimp in chili sauce had a nice texture, and the slightly fluffy egg complemented it well. The spicy seasoning was well-balanced, and the set also included salad, mushroom soup, rice (with free refills), and almond jelly. While it wasn't exceptionally cheap, the meticulous preparation justified the price. Now, onto the highlight - the "Dim Sum Lunch" for 1,300 yen. This set was quite a good deal and I highly recommend it. It included salad, fried lamb dumplings, chive buns, three types of steamed dishes, fried rice, almond jelly, and jasmine tea. The meticulous preparation of the steamed dishes alone was worth more than the lunch price. The portion was sufficient even for men, and the female staff provided detailed explanations of each dish and cooking method. The male chef even bid us a polite farewell as we left. The 2,000 yen lunch set also seemed like a good deal with even shark fin soup included. This place is a must-visit for anyone in Maruyama.
