I got stood up twice and ended up here, but there doesn't seem to be any lunch spots around here. I found this place and it had a Chinese-style interior. There was a collection of Peko-chan in the showcase. Not just cakes, but also a place that looks like it's for food lovers. I couldn't decide between noodles, but even though they said they couldn't make it too spicy, I went for the Hong Kong-style pan-fried dumplings set meal for 650 yen. It's cheap! The side dish was fried spring rolls, and I thought I didn't need it, but I might not have communicated that well because usually most restaurants offer to replace it with something like a salad. But this place just ended up with food waste. However, the dumplings were big and looked really delicious, so I ended up eating them. The dumplings were really chewy and delicious. They came with a tangy sauce, which wasn't enough to be a main dish for me, but in China, it can be a substitute for rice. It seemed like the portion of rice was small for men. There were also garlic chips on the table. The chef, who looked tough, was actually very friendly and surprised me with his various contrasts. The total bill was 710 yen. Not including tax. Still, it's cheap for this area. Thank you for the meal!

Today's lunch was actually intended to be at the neighboring Parlor Tomi, but I ended up having the Ankake Yakisoba set meal instead. However, since I also wanted to try this restaurant, I shifted my focus and it turned out to be a good decision. I arrived early, so the place was already filled with smoke. The smoke was quite thick and it lingered during the non-smoking lunch time. I felt that while it reflects the trend of full non-smoking lunches, some ventilation measures should be taken to accommodate customers right after opening. The Yakisoba had crispy fried noodles with a generous amount of sauce, which made the noodles a bit soggy over time. The crispy texture was reminiscent of Baby Star Ramen. Those who enjoy that kind of texture would probably like it. The dish had plenty of ingredients like wood ear mushrooms, which I appreciated. However, in terms of the sauce and noodle texture, I prefer the ones at the Chinese restaurant Shueen. The set meal also included rice, salad, and spring rolls, which was nice. I thought it would be even better if there were pickled vegetables like Zasai with the rice. Maybe using the extra sauce from the Ankake Yakisoba as a side dish would be a good idea? The flavor was so good that I'm sure Ankake Rice would be delicious as well. I didn't try it this time, so I regret not doing so. The spring rolls were oily but had a crispy skin and a delightful texture. I really liked them. The salad mainly consisted of fresh mizuna, which was served as a starter, allowing me to have some salad before the main meal. Overall, the Ankake Yakisoba exceeded my expectations in terms of flavor, making me look forward to trying other dishes at this Chinese restaurant.

On a certain weekday, which was a public holiday for the rest of the world, I visited a Chinese restaurant bookmarked for lunch in Minami 6-jo Nishi 23-chome, Chuo Ward. The parking lot can accommodate about 2 cars in the back of the restaurant, and if you need more space, you should consult with the staff. The interior of the restaurant consists of a small counter and several tables. Gentle jazz music plays in the background. From the menu, I was drawn to the enticing photo and decided to try the "Szechuan Mapo Tofu Set Meal (890 yen)" as my first choice. The staff provided me with a hot towel, cold water, and cold oolong tea, which was a nice touch, but they didn't notice when I finished them all. After a while, my meal was ready. The stone pot was boiling hot, creating a hellish steam. I took a bite and realized that there was a lot of liquid in the dish. The Mapo Tofu, spelled as "Tofu" instead of "Fu", had a unique thickening texture different from the usual cornstarch, with a subtle spiciness from chili and chili oil spreading gently, complemented by a mild and rounded soup base. The dish included silky tofu and ground meat, but the warmth was lacking. The portion of the Mapo Tofu was generous, so I ended up ordering an "extra rice (210 yen?)" but was disappointed by the lack of volume for the price. As the visit progressed, the restaurant became almost full, and the staff seemed overwhelmed, which affected the overall dining experience. I hope they can stay calm and do their best. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant with my foodie apprentice who wanted to have Chinese food for lunch. We ordered gyoza, sweet and sour pork, fried rice, and shrimp chili. The gyoza was delicious with a perfect seasoning, no need for sauce. The sweet and sour pork was a bit too sweet for my taste, I wish it had a bit more miso flavor. The fried rice started off a bit bland but gradually became more flavorful, ending with a satisfying taste. The shrimp chili had a rich sauce and was tasty, especially when mixed with the fried spring rolls. We also ordered the sizzling hot stone pot yakisoba, which was visually appealing and delicious. It was recommended to eat it quickly before the noodles become too soft, and the light soy sauce seasoning was perfect. Overall, we left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied.

The hot stone pot bubbling with Mapo tofu can be made as spicy as you like. I asked for it to be the spiciest, but the heat was there without being overpowering, with a gentle flavor and a hint of saltiness. The pickled mustard greens were just right. The crab shumai was packed full and satisfying to eat. The rice paper rolls were also delicious.

I had lunch at the Gazebo Typhoon, a creative Chinese dining restaurant in Maruyama. I ordered the stone-grilled ankake yakisoba for 880 yen including tax. It was served sizzling hot and the noodles were crispy and delicious, with a unique and fantasy-like presentation. The menu prices seem reasonable for dinner as well, so I plan to come back with my family next time. They also have fun surprises for kids, like a gachapon machine and interesting animal figurines on display. It seems like a safe and enjoyable place for children, depending on their age and personality.

Hot and delicious ankake yakisoba. The noodles are cooked just right, with a perfect texture that makes it a great dish to enjoy.

Miso sauce chicken thigh and seafood ankake yakisoba were sold out today, so I had the gyoza set instead. The portion was a bit small but delicious. There are a few parking spots in the back. Looking forward to coming back! 20161126

I visited around 14:00 on a regular day. I actually planned to go to another restaurant, but the parking lot was crowded so I gave up and happened to discover this restaurant. The exterior doesn't have the stylish charm of Enzan, giving off a cheap chain store vibe. I felt a little uneasy, but when I went inside, it was a very nice restaurant. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken Set Meal for ¥850 and 2 plates of dumplings for ¥490 (to share with 4 people). First, the Sweet and Sour Chicken set meal. It comes with 2 fried dim sum, rice, salad, and soup for this price! So affordable! The Sweet and Sour Chicken was a bit less sweet, which I liked. It was very filling. Next, the dumplings. They had a homemade texture that was chewy and delicious. When you bite into them, the meat juices come out generously. The skin is thick, so it's very satisfying. If they paid a little more attention to the exterior, interior, and menu design, they could become trendy!

Who took the menu from the restaurant?! There was a fool who took the menu for some reason in the past. After some back and forth with the owner, finally got permission to take a photo. It's really terrible what they did. The restaurant has a parking lot with 2 spaces (number 3 and 4) at the back of the shop. The exterior is mainly white and nicely renovated, but since the building is very old wooden structure, it inevitably gives the impression of a slightly dirty Chinese restaurant. However, when you enter the restaurant, it is very quiet and has a modern atmosphere. It feels more like a Chinese restaurant than a typical Chinese eatery in town. Now, looking at the menu, there were many choices, but this time I ordered the Black Sesame Tan Tan Men (made with Japanese pork) for 820 yen. It was described as "a sharp spiciness with the added richness of black sesame and miso flavor, a proud dish". I also ordered the half portion of vegetable-filled mochi pork pan-fried dumplings for 250 yen. The noodles were smooth and matched well with the soup. The sesame flavor was strong and the texture of pine nuts(?) was very good. The dumplings were also delicious. The restaurant has been open for 2 years, but why are there so few reviews? I still want to try more dishes, so I want to revisit soon. Thank you for the meal.

I was taken to lunch by a friend who recommended this place. The interior of the restaurant is not your typical Chinese restaurant, but more like a cute cafe. The lunch menu is priced at less than 1000 yen, which is quite reasonable for a restaurant in Maruyama. I ordered the "Chinese miso sauce chicken cutlet" and was surprised by the size of the dish! The plate was filled with freshly fried cutlet, which was as big as both of my hands combined... It came with rice and soup, and I was worried if I could finish it all, but my friend and I shared it and managed to finish it. The miso sauce was delicious and went well with the rice. My friend ordered the tantanmen, which had a soup made with black sesame and the richness of the minced meat, making it a truly authentic Chinese-style ramen. They also have fried rice and shrimp chili set, which I look forward to trying on my next visit.

Welcome! This is a Chinese restaurant located near the old-established Parle Mondeur in the Asahigaoka area of Chuo Ward, Sapporo. When I was walking, I saw a sign on the door, but my eyesight is not good, so I couldn't see it clearly. I thought they might be closed. Oh, there's another door. "Welcome!" A very energetic and friendly owner greeted me from behind the counter. The cooking sounds were overshadowed by his lively voice. I decided that this was a good place. As I walked further in, I noticed that the tables were nicely set with clean cloths and drinks, giving off a homely vibe that you wouldn't expect from a Chinese restaurant. The owner was very humble and took care of his restaurant. He runs the place with a stylish lady, creating a sommelier-like atmosphere. Looking at the menu, the top item was the "most popular dish!!" It didn't seem like my cup of tea. The owner is originally from Obihiro and grew up in Yokohama Chinatown. He decided to open a restaurant in Hokkaido. I ordered a cola as my set drink to stimulate my appetite. The family left, and the elderly ladies were engaged in a lively conversation. The background music was the cooking sounds from the kitchen. The cooking time seemed quite long. Finally, the owner brought out the Sichuan mapo tofu set in a ceramic-coated pot. The salad and the rice were served in futuristic-looking dishes. The rice was cooked slightly hard but still tasty. The mapo tofu had a bright color, but I couldn't smell the Sichuan pepper. It had a good miso aroma and a spicy steam that took a while to settle down. It was finally at a temperature where I could eat it. It was delicious! The spiciness seemed to disappear due to the heat, but then the flavor of the sauce hit me. The tofu was silky and well-prepared, and the minced meat had a rich flavor from the "mochi pork." The soup, cooked in a clay pot, gradually thickened and became rich and flavorful. The mapo tofu was served on top of rice, which helped to balance the spiciness. Occasionally adding some shredded chili peppers added a nice touch. When it cooled down, the saltiness became stronger, making it even more enjoyable. I finished with a salad dressed in a sour sauce, possibly a grated ponzu vinegar. This home-cooked style of food, reminiscent of Yokohama Chinatown, is likely to be enjoyed by children as well. The most authentic flavors are always the best, and trying to change the taste may lead to a fight with the chef. The evening menu also seems reasonably priced for the area, making it a comfortable place to dine. I fell in love with the decanter sangria, maybe because the stylish lady had a hand in it. That's all for now. Thank you for the meal!

I came based on the information about "Tom". The lunch menu includes Sichuan Mapo Tofu set, Homemade Char Siu Fried Rice set, Bone-in Chicken Karaage set, Shrimp and Fluffy Egg in Chili Sauce set, Chinese Miso Chicken Cutlet set, as well as Black Sesame Dan Dan Noodles, Cantonese Noodles, Cantonese Fried Rice, Sichuan Mapo Noodles, and more. There are also individual items such as dumplings, shumai, and spring rolls. Today, I ordered the Sichuan Mapo Noodles for 790 yen. I asked for the noodles to be firm and the spiciness to be on the spicy side. The tofu is cut into large pieces of cotton tofu. The noodles have a chewy texture with a slightly thick and curly medium thickness. At the beginning, the noodles were a bit hard to separate due to the strong viscosity, but they gradually softened and blended well, becoming easier to eat. Although I asked for spicy, it could have been a bit spicier. Initially, I felt a strong sweetness, but towards the end, I started to feel the flavor of Sichuan pepper and a numbing sensation. It's not exactly my preferred type of Mapo Tofu, but it's delicious. It would be nice if it came with a small portion of rice. I also noticed that the menu includes dishes like Ankake Yakisoba, which I would like to try for lunch next time. The Ankake Yakisoba is served in a hot stone pot. I would love to enjoy it with a side of pork ears and a glass of Shaoxing wine.
