During a meeting in Shinagawa, I decided to have hot pot. It was my first time, so I chose the "mushroom course". It was filled with delicious mushrooms, and for the finishing touch, we had mushroom rice porridge. It was my first time having porridge after hot pot, but it was really delicious. When we arrived around 5:30, the restaurant was not crowded, but by the time we left, it was full. I'm really glad that the pandemic is over!

Lunchtime at 12:10, ordered this week's lunch special (Shrimp Chili) at a restaurant I have visited several times before. No matter what I order, the taste is always great. This week's lunch special is Shrimp Chili, so I decided to order it. The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of a building with a nice view. They mainly serve hot pot at night, but not for lunch. The dish arrived shortly after ordering. The Shrimp Chili looks delicious! Itadakimasu (Let's eat)! It's really delicious, a bit spicy but the rice goes well with it. The texture of the shrimp is great. It comes with water dumplings which are also tasty. The almond jelly dessert is very flavorful and satisfying. I haven't tried the fried rice yet, so I'll have that next time.

The Little Sheep hot pot course for two people was just enough to satisfy my hunger. I felt like I could eat a little more. I also ordered a side dish, but the taste was not as expected (quite salty), so it's better to add extra ingredients to the hot pot. The spiciness was slightly milder than the authentic version, but just right. If you add the restaurant as a friend on LINE, you will receive a notification about upcoming promotions.

It's been about 2 and a half months since my last visit. I arrived on a weekday just after 12 o'clock and was able to enter without waiting. This time, I had the mapo tofu set meal (990 yen). It seems like they raised the price again (tears). The restaurant was almost full, so I guess this price is reasonable. Thank you for the meal.

I had work in Shinagawa, so on my way back I decided to check out a hot pot restaurant I was curious about! It's located in the building in front of Microsoft! On this day, I ordered the 3,980yen course which included appetizers, xiaolongbao, vegetables, mushrooms, meat (lamb, chicken), and a choice of noodles or rice. For dessert, we had almond tofu. You can choose two types of soup and also the level of spiciness. I chose Sichuan spicy and white soup, with medium spiciness. The meat and vegetables were not all-you-can-eat, you had to order additional portions. I'm not a fan of lamb, but the thinly sliced meat here didn't have a strong smell and I could eat it. The soup was flavorful with lots of herbs and spices. I'm not great with spicy food, but I like it, so I enjoyed it while sweating a bit. For those who are good with spicy food, the medium level might be a bit mild, so ordering a spicier level might be better. The restaurant was smoke-free and clean, with a nice view of the Shinagawa buildings from the window. The clientele was diverse, including couples on dates, groups of colleagues, and male friends. I made a reservation for a weekday evening, but you might be able to walk in without a reservation on a non-Friday. Overall, the value for money wasn't great when adding extra food and drinks to the course, so I'm not sure about revisiting, but I recommend it for hot pot lovers.

I visited after about 3 months. I arrived around 12:15 and there was no wait outside the restaurant. This time, I had the mapo tofu set meal. I really like the mapo tofu at Xiao Fei Yang because the spiciness and the amount of Sichuan peppercorns are just right for me. They raised the price a little bit, but it's still very charming. Thank you for the meal.

Around 12:30 on a regular day, there were a few seats available and I was able to sit down right away. However, it seemed like there weren't enough staff members for the size of the floor, as it took a while for someone to come and take my order. Once I placed my order, the food arrived very quickly! On this day, I ordered the fried rice set for 900 yen. It came with fried rice, mapo tofu (small portion), egg soup, vegetable salad, and almond jelly. I like that there are various options besides fried rice. The fried rice was tasty but a bit oily. The mapo tofu was quite spicy, with a strong taste of Sichuan pepper. I appreciate the good value for money and the relaxed seating arrangement, which allows for a calm and leisurely dining experience without the usual hectic atmosphere of a Chinese restaurant.

I visited during lunchtime. I arrived around 12:10 and was able to enter without waiting. This time, I had the shrimp and egg in chili sauce set meal (tax included 900 yen). It was consistently delicious. Thank you for the meal. I will come again.

Black vinegar sweet and sour pork (950) Rarely visited two days in a row. The day before, alone, and today with a female colleague. Black vinegar sweet and sour pork is something you don't make at home, it's a professional dish. We enjoyed it while saying, "I want to eat this kind of thing at a restaurant." The other colleague who came separately seemed satisfied with the liver and leek dish. The almond jelly was also firm and delicious.

Dim Sum Set (1100 yen): Today, I shifted my lunch time a bit later and managed to get in. If I had come on time, I would have had to wait in line and given up twice. It's a popular spot for middle-aged salarymen and office ladies. The lunch menu seems to be ordered evenly, with black vinegar sweet and sour pork being a popular choice. The small dishes are nice and neat. The soup dumplings and spring rolls were piping hot, and I even had seconds of the soup. The sweet and sour pork, shrimp chili, and liver with garlic chives all looked delicious.

I had the Lamb Hot Pot Stir-Fry Set Meal for 1,000 yen (tax included). I thought I had completed all the lunch menu options, but it turns out the menu has been reduced and prices have been raised by 20 to 100 yen. The Lamb Hot Pot Stir-Fry Set Meal is not very spicy, but it does have a good sweating effect. It is packed with vegetables and seems good for the body. Despite the price increase, I still think this dish has its charm. Thank you for the meal. 63 reviews, 3.16 points.

I arrived a little after 12 o'clock and was able to enter the restaurant without waiting. This time, I had the Oily Chicken Set Meal for 850 yen (tax included). The chicken was fried to a nice crispy texture, which I like. The refreshing sauce paired well with it and it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited for lunch on a regular day. It had been a while since I last went to Shinagawa, so it had also been a while since I had lunch at Xiao Fei Yang. I had the Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork Set for 850 yen. The shiny black sweet and sour pork was as delicious as ever! When mixed with rice, the black vinegar sauce made the rice black and added a sour and sweet flavor to it. You can have unlimited refills of rice and soup, but I decided to only get a refill of soup to avoid feeling sleepy in the afternoon from overeating. I resisted getting more rice. For dessert, I had almond jelly which was refreshing and delicious. I was very satisfied with the lunch. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived around noon on a weekday and was able to enter the restaurant without waiting. Today, I had the dim sum set. It included half fried rice, 4 xiaolongbao, 1 mini glass noodle dish, the usual salad, soup, and almond jelly set. The xiaolongbao were at an easy-to-eat temperature and were delicious with plenty of juicy meat filling. I also love the fried rice and almond jelly at Little Sheep. The lunch menu was supposed to be complete with the dim sum set, but they have added a new menu item, the lamb stir-fry hot pot set. Thank you for the meal.

I visited during lunchtime. I arrived around 12:20 and there were no other customers, but I waited for the staff to clean the table. I ordered fried rice with mini mapo tofu, salad, soup, and almond jelly for 850 yen (tax included). The fried rice was simple but delicious, moist yet fluffy. There are 3 more items left until I complete the lunch set. Next time, I would like to try the dim sum set. Thank you for the meal.

The completion of the lunch menu seems to be progressing steadily, but new menu items have been added. The black vinegar sweet and sour pork set meal is of high quality, but I personally feel that the vinegar flavor is too strong. Also, there is not enough vegetables for my liking. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived around 12:15 and there were 3 people waiting. It seems like the place has been getting more crowded lately. The liver and leek stir-fry had lots of vegetables and no liver smell, it was delicious. I might aim for the complete lunch menu next time. The almond jelly here is rich and just the right amount of sweetness, it was a perfect dessert for me. Thank you for the meal.

Visited for lunch on a regular day. About 80% of the seats were filled. I was able to sit without waiting. It had been a while since my last visit, they were closed during the state of emergency. It was my first time having lunch in Shinagawa in a while, and also my first time having black vinegar sweet and sour pork in a while. The black vinegar sweet and sour pork set meal for 850 yen was served in about 10 minutes. The black vinegar sweet and sour pork was delicious! The pork was shiny and covered in a thick black vinegar sauce. It was crispy from being fried, juicy from the fatty parts, and had a great texture. I mixed it with the rice and enjoyed it. Yum! The black vinegar sauce also had lotus root and bell peppers which were tasty too. You can get free refills of rice and soup. Since I'm on a diet, I only got a second serving of soup. I was very satisfied with the black vinegar sweet and sour pork! The almond jelly dessert after the meal was also delicious! It was a blissful lunch. I hope that this review doesn't attract too many people to the restaurant, as I wouldn't be able to go for lunch if there's a long wait. Thank you for the meal!

I arrived around 12:20 on a regular day and was able to enter without waiting. I had the mapo tofu set meal for 850 yen (tax included). It came with mapo tofu as the main dish, rice, soup, dumplings, salad, and almond jelly. The mapo tofu had a good amount of Sichuan pepper, which I enjoyed. It was just the right level of spiciness for me and very delicious. It's a shame that it wasn't served piping hot. The almond jelly was rich and tasty. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also nice. Thank you for the meal. 51 reviews, 3.21 points.

I visited the restaurant on Friday before 7 pm for dinner. Due to the prevention of the new coronavirus infection, only course meals were available for order, and individual items were not accepted. I chose the most affordable Little Sheep course from the menu. Little Sheep Course (3480 yen including tax): The hot pot with a soup containing dozens of Chinese medicinal ingredients is a healthy and gentle menu to eat with lamb meat, vegetables, and abundant Chinese medicinal ingredients. I requested a combination of two types of hot pot soup, spicy and white broth, with the option to choose the spiciness level of the spicy soup (I chose mild). The set included lamb meat, chicken, Chinese cabbage, spinach, red core radish, yam, red bell pepper, pumpkin, wood ear mushrooms, brown enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, cotton tofu, choice of noodles, porridge, or white rice, and almond tofu for dessert. During the service period, draft beer was available for 250 yen and could be ordered multiple times.
