The lotus lighting and the wall with ingredients drawn on it are so cute! Cheers with Tsingtao beer right away. When eating Chinese food, Tsingtao beer is a must, right? By scanning the QR code on the table, you can view the menu and place orders using a non-contact high-tech system. By the way, this 168 Dim Sum & Medicinal Hot Pot is the casual line of Gosenbo, famous for its medicinal mushroom hot pot. Gosenbo is a bit pricey, but here you can order mushroom hot pot starting from one serving, making it casual and easy to enjoy. First, I ordered the medicinal mushroom hot pot with 8 types of mushrooms, including fluffy Yamabushitake, slender Kakino Kidake (said to be the original form of enoki), yellow Tomogidake, jumbo Nameko, Yanagimatsutake, Tokiirohiratake, Honshimeji, and Mushroom. The broth is made with local chicken, and meat is also included. The soup is clear and elegant, with a rich taste of the ingredients. Next, there are about 20 types of dim sum. I wanted to try them all! First, I tried the Porcini Black Pork Shumai. It was a luxurious dish with a great aroma. Second, I had the shrimp dumplings. The shrimp was plump and the skin was translucent and inviting. Third, I tried the mushroom spring rolls. They were served in a mason jar, and were long and thin. They were crispy and filled with mushrooms. Fourth, I mistakenly ordered the five-flavor fried rice cake. It was unexpectedly delicious! Then, I had the homemade sausages, spicy oil wontons, shrimp chung fun, daikon mochi, xiao long bao, purple sweet potato sesame dumplings, lettuce in oyster sauce, sticky rice shumai, shark fin dumplings, and Dongpo pork chimaki. All were delicious. Finally, I had vegetable congee and century egg congee. The century egg congee was especially delicious. For dessert, I tried the egg tarts, pumpkin custard, and Shaoxing wine jelly.

I entered the restaurant before 11:30 on a holiday, so there was no wait at that time. I like Chinese porridge, so I ordered lunch set A. The drink was self-service warm Oolong tea and Pu'er tea at each table, and cold water was available at the counter. The appetizers were served quickly, starting from 12 o'clock clockwise: pickled radish, clam and leek salad, sesame dumplings, shumai (meat), steamed shrimp dumplings, and vegetable salad. It was disappointing that the vegetable salad was completely Western-style. I wish they had made the dressing more Chinese-style. After a short wait, the century egg porridge was served. I noticed that noodle dishes were served early. The porridge had century egg and probably pork as toppings. The condiments were green onions, cilantro, and fried wontons. The porridge had a subtle salty taste. The chopsticks were all mixed up in the basket, making it difficult to find matching pairs.

I had dim sum and tantan-men. Since they are mostly carbohydrates, even though it was a cheat day, I felt a little guilty. There were only two types of vegetables, salad and oyster sauce lettuce, which gave a slightly lonely impression. The dim sum was delicious, but it was served without any seasoning, so I felt like adding vinegar and soy sauce. I was a bit disappointed that the daikon mochi, which I wanted to eat the most, didn't arrive and ended up being canceled.

After indulging in shaved ice, I stopped by for lunch. The place was empty, seemed quick, and I was in the mood for something warm... so I went in. It was just okay. Is this how Chinese food tastes? The wonton soy sauce ramen had a unique flavor and the side dishes included pickled mustard greens and pea sprouts. It was cheap, so I guess it's alright. I wanted a paper apron but when I tried to get the attention of the staff, they ignored me! It was the only place empty while others were busy, so maybe that explains it?!

After watching a theater performance at Theater Orb, I came here for dinner. I ordered the 168-point dim sum course, which turned out to be quite a large portion. The dishes came out at a surprisingly fast pace. I forgot to take a picture of the BBQ pork buns. I couldn't eat as quickly as the food was being served. I didn't have high expectations, but the flavors were actually quite good. However, I was surprised by the additional service charge (my mistake for not checking), which left me a bit disappointed. Each of us had two drinks each, like beer, wine, or water, and in the end, it came to about 4,700 yen per person. The restaurant was not too crowded for a Saturday night, so we were able to relax. Thank you for the meal.

On the 6th floor of Shibuya Hikarie, there is a restaurant that serves dim sum and medicinal mushroom hot pot at affordable prices. We ordered some dishes including "Grilled Dumplings (590 yen)" and "Chive Buns (690 yen)" which go great with beer. The Grilled Dumplings had a chewy skin filled with juicy meat, making it incredibly delicious. For dessert, we ordered the "Egg Tart (590 yen)" which had a crispy crust and a rich custard filling. It was really tasty.

I entered the restaurant in Hikarie in Shibuya, ordered tantanmen, xiaolongbao, gyoza, and various other dishes, but unfortunately, none of them tasted good. None of the dishes were bad, but my honest impression was "kind of meh." I won't be going back.

I went with a foodie friend who is always seeking gourmet experiences. We reserved a dim sum course this time. The best thing about this restaurant is that they offer unlimited hot tea, which is very comforting! At first, I was worried if the course would be enough, but by the end, I was really struggling with how full I was. Everything was so delicious, and being able to enjoy a variety of dim sum dishes was the best. My friend was also very impressed. I regret not taking any photos at all... (My friend, being serious about food, didn't take any either, it seems.) I would love to go back again.

I've been reflecting on drinking too much alcohol lately, but I'm excited for tonight's enjoyment. For lunch, I chose a healthy and gentle congee at this restaurant in Shibuya Hikarie. I found the perfect menu, Lunch Set A (congee with salted pork and preserved egg), but ended up ordering: - Lunch Set D (spicy tantan noodles) - Xiao Long Bao (3 pieces) I couldn't resist the stimulating sound of the spicy tantan noodles (laughs). The food arrived in 4-5 minutes. A salad and a bite-sized dim sum platter first, followed by the tantan noodles in 3 minutes, then the Xiao Long Bao. Hmm, the timing was off. If I eat the noodles, the Xiao Long Bao gets cold, and if I eat the Xiao Long Bao, the noodles get soggy (tears). I ordered it, so it's my fault. For now, I'll prioritize the Xiao Long Bao. The Xiao Long Bao here has a chewy skin with plenty of meat juice, refreshing with black vinegar, but it would have been nice to have some shredded ginger. The tantan noodles looked spicy, but they had a mild taste when I tried them. The crushed nuts and chili oil added flavor and texture. The boiled vegetables were plentiful and crunchy, complementing the soft noodles well. The salad and side dish plate also had a satisfying volume. Thank you for the meal.

There is a restaurant on the floor that also serves dim sum, and it was quite empty so I decided to try it out. The menu was structured similar to Tim Ho Wan. I was worried if I made a mistake, but the dim sum dishes were authentic and delicious. The fact that they are made fresh on the spot should make them even tastier! However, the portion size for each dish is quite large, so it is best to go with a large group to enjoy a variety of dim sum in small portions. It would be nice if they could also accommodate individuals or pairs with smaller portions.

We visited "168 Dim Sum & Medicinal Hot Pot," which opened on the 6th floor of Shibuya Hikarie in April this year, with a friend. This restaurant offers popular dishes from the renowned medicinal cuisine restaurant "Gosenbo" in Roppongi and Ginza, such as dim sum and medicinal mushroom hot pot. The dishes are prepared by chefs from China, offering authentic flavors in a casual atmosphere. We ordered the following items: ★Good Job Set 980 yen x 24 kinds of dim sum (shrimp dumplings, shrimp and chive dumplings, porcini black pork shumai, xiaolongbao) plus Chinese tea or medicinal tea ★Vegetable Congee 590 yen x 2 ★Daikon Mochi 590 yen ★Lettuce Oyster Sauce 590 yen ★Five-Ingredient Fried Rice Cake 590 yen ★Sweet Potato Sesame Dumplings (dessert) 590 yen We each ordered the Good Job Dim Sum Set and Vegetable Congee, while sharing the other a la carte dishes. I had the Chamomile Citrus (Hot) tea, and my friend had the Wulong tea Da Hong Pao (Hot). The Chamomile Citrus tea is a smooth herbal tea blended with chamomile flowers, orange, and lemon. The Good Job Set is a great deal, allowing you to enjoy four different types of dim sum at once. The porcini black pork shumai, in particular, has a rich aroma of porcini mushrooms that blends perfectly with the pork. The tea is served in a pot, providing enough for three cups. Each a la carte dish has an authentic taste prepared by professional chefs from China. The congee is flavorful until the last bite. The Five-Ingredient Fried Rice Cake is packed with a rich filling and has a soft and easy-to-eat texture. The Lettuce Oyster Sauce pairs well with the dim sum, with the aroma of oyster sauce enticing your appetite. The Sweet Potato Sesame Dumplings for dessert are a must-try. Despite being quite full from the meal, these dumplings are exceptional. The menu also includes a variety of dishes, such as the cost-effective "One-Person Medicinal Mushroom Hot Pot Set," known as "eating esthetics." The high-quality natural ingredients blended to create fragrant Chinese tea and medicinal tea are also popular for their health and beauty benefits. The bright and clean interior of the restaurant creates a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy for women to dine alone. Thank you for the meal.

On Wednesday night, I went to Shibuya for some errands. So, I visited "168 Dim Sum & Herbal Hot Pot Shibuya Hikarie Store". We sat down and first ordered some beer. Drinking beer on a Wednesday night was just the best. We ordered various dishes like dim sum and they were all delicious. I feel like giving them one more point. If I have the chance next time, I would like to try dish 69.

After being full at Koya-san, we met up here where the boss presides. Starbucks was full so we came here. Despite being recommended food, we were full so we only ordered beer. The order was done through a smartphone, with the explanation given through a mask making it hard to hear. The atmosphere of the restaurant was open due to the decorative walls, and it seemed well-ventilated. Maybe it was created during the pandemic? There were many female customers, possibly due to the herbal cuisine. The restroom is outside the restaurant, using the one in Hikarie. Although we didn't eat this time, the food seems reasonably priced. We stayed for about 3 hours with 4 beers and 1 coffee, but no one gave us a hard time, which was good.

I ordered a light dinner and here is what I had: - Steamed spring rolls with shrimp: Delicious! The skin was soft and chewy. - Xiao long bao: Disappointing as the skin was hard and there was no juicy filling. - Lettuce with oyster sauce: The seasoning was a bit light, could be more flavorful. - Pan-fried dumplings: The sauce had a unique taste and was delicious. Overall, the restaurant is located in Hikarie and the prices are reasonable. It's a safe choice. The steamed dishes took a bit longer to be served.

The interior of the shop is also decorated in soft colors, giving it a feminine touch. It's a typical shop where you order with your smartphone, but the images are small, making it a bit difficult to see the actual portion size. It would be nice if they provided menus. The mushroom herbal hot pot seems good for your health. The taste was also delicious. After eating the ingredients, they added rice noodles, so we shared one portion, but we ended up quite full.

On a Saturday evening, my family and I had some errands in Shibuya. After finishing our business and exiting the building, we found it was raining heavily, so we quickly sought refuge in Hikarie nearby and decided to have dinner there. My wife expressed a desire for Chinese food, so we headed to "168 Dim Sum & Medicinal Hot Pot" on the 6th floor. Here, all orders are made through a smartphone, which was a bit unfamiliar at first but became easy once we got used to it. The food was served quickly, and we were able to finish our meal without much waiting. - 168 Salad: 580 yen A salad with special dressing, but personally, it tasted like a regular sesame dressing salad. I expected a bit more creativity considering the restaurant's name. - Char Siu Rice Noodle: 780 yen Ramen made with rice noodles, with bok choy and char siu. The portion size was slightly small, but it can be a good option to order alongside other dishes. - Shrimp Chun Fun (3 pieces): 780 yen Spring roll-like dish with chewy skin and juicy shrimp, dipped in a special sauce. It had a rich flavor that made me crave rice. - Char Siu Buns (2 pieces): 680 yen Steamed buns with sweet and fluffy skin filled with char siu. Perfect for sharing and a great size. - Xiao Long Bao (3 pieces): 580 yen Slightly larger than the typical xiao long bao, with plenty of juicy filling. The spoon could be a bit bigger for easier eating. - Daikon Mochi (2 pieces): 580 yen A simple yet tasty daikon mochi, easy to eat with just the flavors of sticky rice and daikon. - Pan-Fried Dumplings (4 pieces): 580 yen Four round and satisfying dumplings, with a slightly mild flavor that pairs well with other dishes. - Highball: 680 yen Overall, the dishes had a mild flavor profile, making them easy to enjoy without one dish overpowering the others. The portion sizes were good for sharing, making it more suitable for groups of 2-3 people. The staff was efficient and friendly, and considering the cost and location, it seems like a restaurant that would appeal to younger customers. Thank you for the meal.

I was intrigued by a new Chinese restaurant that recently opened on the restaurant floor of Table Hiroo, so I decided to have lunch there with a Qingdao beer. I ordered a la carte and enjoyed some deep-fried buns with fluffy skin and a delicious meat filling inside. It's a must-try! I also ordered my favorite sausage, which went perfectly with the beer. The restaurant is clean and suitable for both lunch and dinner. It seems like they also offer set meals for lunch.

Category: [Tokyo] Chinese/Taiwanese cuisine in Shibuya☆First time I ate at Gosenbo in Roppongi was over 10 years ago. At that time, I was not familiar with Chinese cuisine, and I was amazed by how delicious it was. This restaurant was selected as the 2nd place in the 2011 Izu Gourmet of the Year awards. 168 Dim Sum & Medicinal Hot Pot Shibuya Hikarie Store. Gosenbo, known for its medicinal hot pot, has opened a new store in Hikarie which also serves dim sum. I decided to try it out. You can order from your smartphone. The lunch set B (Spicy Ma La Rice Noodles) costs 1380 yen. I opted for a large serving of rice noodles for an additional 200 yen. The quality of the dim sum was high. I tried sesame balls for the first time and surprisingly, they were delicious. The soup had a beautiful broth, but the portion of rice noodles was small. However, the braised beef was tasty and the portion was actually quite generous. I have a suggestion for this restaurant: instead of charging extra for a large serving of rice noodles, they should consider implementing a sliding scale where the more rice noodles you order, the cheaper it gets (refer to Hatoya Hotel). Fun fact: When you order the limited edition menu item, small clam udon, at Hanamaru Udon, you will hear a loud announcement saying "Hamasho is included!" It would be fun to respond with a cheer of "Wow! Wow! Wow!"

This is a restaurant that opened yesterday in Shibuya Hikarie, serving dim sum and medicinal hot pot. For lunch, they offer a plate with salad and dim sum, along with carbohydrates like rice noodles. On this day, I ordered the Char Siu Rice Noodles. Overall, the taste was okay, nothing special. Perhaps because it's a medicinal hot pot restaurant, the soup of the rice noodles had a gentle flavor. The salad was of a decent portion and seemed healthy. The true test of the restaurant may be trying their medicinal hot pot for dinner.

I heard that a popular high-end Chinese restaurant serving medicinal hot pot in Ginza and Roppongi has opened a casual shop in Shibuya, so I went to check it out! I actually love the branch in Roppongi. I started with their famous medicinal mushroom hot pot, which you can order by the serving. It was delicious! It's great to be able to enjoy 8 different kinds of healthy mushrooms and medicinal herbs that are good for the body in such a tasty way. It's healthy, warming, and something that I think women would really appreciate. They also have a wide variety of dim sum, and I tried a lot of them. The shrimp dumplings were plump and delicious, and the xiaolongbao was consistently very tasty, but the dark horse was the five-flavor bean paste fried mochi! It didn't look like much, but it was incredibly delicious! I tried all the desserts too! The sesame dumplings with purple sweet potato filling were light and delicious, I could eat as many as I wanted. I'm looking forward to coming back for a casual lunch next time. By the way, this restaurant has measures in place like disinfection, temperature checks before entry, and you can order from the menu using a QR code, so it's reassuring in terms of COVID-19 prevention!

The hospitality is nothing special, but for some reason they charge a 10% service fee for lunch. The appetizers and tantanmen are decent but not outstanding. If you're craving Chinese food in Hikarie, it's worth a try.
