"Hong Kong Yakitori Restaurant Akasaka Rikyu" Akasaka Rikyu, an image of a Hong Kong street stall, has opened a branch at Toranomon Hills. This Akasaka Rikyu features Cantonese cuisine's signature yakimono (roast meat) and Hong Kong's soul food, shrimp wonton noodles. Located in Toranomon Yokocho. I had the daily lunch set for 1750 yen (includes three types of grilled dishes, today's steamed dish, soup, rice). The yakimono had a mixture of the scent of the grilling sauce and the aroma of the grilled meat, with the fatty parts tasting sweet and delicious. Considering the price of 1750 yen for a Chinese lunch, the portion may feel a bit small. I would like to try coming here at night next time. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. #HongKongYakitoriRestaurantAkasakaRikyu #AkasakaRikyu #ToranomonGourmet #ToranomonHillsLunch #ToranomonLunch #DeliciousLunch #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #GourmetInstagram #GourmetMemo #WantToConnectWithGourmets #FoodPornInstagram #FoodPornGrammer #EatSta #FoodStagrammer #FoodPornism #GourmetTravel #DeliciousIsHappiness #LookingForGourmetFriends #GourmetClub #FoodieGirls #FoodieBoys #WantToConnectWithGourmets #KantoGourmet #FoodReportGram #GourmetReport #GourmetWriter #FoodWriter #BGradeGourmetInformation #TokyoFoodie"

I've been commuting to Toranomon area for about a month now, and the best lunch I've had so far was at this place. It's located in Toranomon Hills in Toranomon Yokocho, like a second brand of a famous restaurant in a street food stall style. It cost around 1700 yen, and I had chicken thigh with salt sauce, char siu, and stuffed intestines. They were all delicious, but the stuffed intestines stood out with its rich flavor and meaty taste. In the middle, there was minced chicken and pickled vegetables in a sauce that I couldn't get enough of. I was quite impressed, so I went with a friend one night to recommend it, but it was fully booked. Well, you might need to make a reservation. It's not cheap, but if you're looking for unique Chinese cuisine that you can't find elsewhere, it's worth stopping by for lunch.

During the Obon holiday, I left work a little early on a Monday at 5 pm. Tiger Gate Alley, which is usually bustling, was empty today due to many shops being closed for the holiday. Despite the crowded "Todaka" restaurant, I chose to have dinner here. - Cantonese-style roasted duck (¥1580): Unlike Peking duck, this dish had a hearty portion of meat. The skin wasn't too crispy, but the meat had a good chewy texture and delicious flavor. It came with a sweet chili sauce. - Crystal Palace shrimp wonton noodles (2 wontons, ¥1100): The noodles were of the vermicelli type, which wasn't to my liking. The soup was light and refreshing. The wontons were the highlight, with very little meat filling and mostly whole chunks of shrimp. It came with a dessert of coconut cake. Total: ¥2680 About 25 years ago, I had a delicious wonton noodle soup at the food court of the former Kowloon Airport during a layover, which brought back fond memories. The restaurant had a street food concept, but the menu was limited, with no small portion options for solo diners to enjoy a variety of dishes.

I ordered the Kamayaki roast pork rice and shrimp wonton noodles. The roast pork had a perfect balance of tenderness and firmness, and the sweet and spicy sauce complemented the rice well. It was very delicious, but the portion size was a bit small for the price. The shrimp wonton noodles closely resembled authentic ones, with thin noodles that had a nice chew to them. The hot and gentle soup paired well with the noodles, although personally I prefer softer noodles that have a bit of a bite to them (similar to Hong Kong-style noodles). I would appreciate it if they provided white pepper on the table for topping the soup with. The wontons were filled generously with shrimp and had a nice texture. The wontons were very delicious!

In June 2023, I enjoyed a casual drink at "Hong Kong Yakitori Izakaya Akasaka Rigyoku" in Toranomon Yokocho within Toranomon Hills. I chose three grilled dishes: Rigyoku's special boiled chicken, Thai-style pork belly char siu, and pork belly with skin. The boiled chicken was surprisingly moist and juicy, while the pork belly had a firm texture with a delicious umami flavor. The pork belly with skin had a crispy texture that complemented the melty sweetness of the fat. The deep-fried frog legs had a crispy coating with a spicy kick that enhanced the delicate flavor of the frog meat. The bones came off easily, making it easy to eat and pairing well with beer. This restaurant specializes in grilled dishes and offers a variety of recommended items beyond the default menu, such as the frog legs and garlic-steamed dishes displayed on the wall. I am intrigued by the "steamed fresh fish" and look forward to trying it next time.

Akasaka Rikyu has opened a grilled food specialty store at Toranomon Hills. It is designed to resemble a Hong Kong street stall and is located in a corner of the 3rd floor Toranomon Yokocho. The restaurant has a rating of 3.51 on Tabelog (as of July 24, 2023), which is considered relatively high. I ordered the following items individually: Grilled dish assortment (1580 yen), Wonton noodles (1100 yen), and Oolong tea (550 yen). The grilled dish assortment allows you to choose two types of grilled items from a selection, but there may be additional charges depending on the combination. I chose the roasted BBQ pork and Cantonese-style duck. The BBQ pork had a sweet and savory taste with a hint of acidity. The duck also had a lingering sweetness in its flavor. To be honest, I'm not sure if the cooking and ingredients are of a high level. The shrimp wonton noodles had a memorable texture with plump shrimp, but overall, it wasn't particularly delicious. The noodles were thin and had a chewy texture. The soup was not too oily and had a sufficient salty flavor. In terms of taste, it seemed average or slightly above average. Considering the portion size, I have some doubts about the pricing. I also question the need for this type of restaurant to open in a location with potentially high rent and expenses.

There are many shops in Toranomon Yokocho, and "Akasaka Rikyu" is a great place where you can enjoy high-quality Chinese cuisine at a reasonable price. I wanted to do a pub crawl this time, so I ordered one drink and two food items! - Bottled beer - Appetizer (peanuts) - Beef pie - Shrimp wonton noodles The shrimp in the shrimp wonton noodles was amazing! I've never seen such big chunks of shrimp in a wonton before!! The firm texture was very delicious! Please try the excitement of the first bite at the store!

I visited after attending a forum held on the upper floors of the Toranomon Hills Business Tower. I used to come to Kamiyacho often, but recently I haven't been around much, and I saw how the city has evolved. The forum ended at 7 pm, so I planned to grab a bite to eat before heading home, and I searched on Tabelog. I found out that there is a casual restaurant from Akasaka Rikyu in this building, located on the 3rd floor. I tried to go directly from the high floors, but it seems that the elevator doesn't stop on the 3rd floor. So, I reluctantly went down to the 1st floor and asked the receptionist, who pointed to an escalator a little further ahead and said, "Please use the escalator to go to the 3rd floor." When I got there, I was surprised to find Toranomon Yokocho, a recreation of an Asian alley, with numerous restaurants crowded together, creating a food paradise. I walked around to see what kind of restaurants there were, but everywhere was full. It felt like a night market in Taiwan or a Hawker Center in Singapore, with young customers everywhere, and the staff were busy moving around, making it difficult to find a table for one person. With so many restaurants, I couldn't find the one I was looking for, so I checked the floor plan and headed in that direction. Fortunately, there was an empty counter facing the aisle, and I asked, "Is it okay to sit here?" and took a seat on a high chair. The menu had a selection of single items and set meals, making it easy to choose casually. I ordered steamed chicken as a single item and pork rib rice as a set. I also had a chuhai soda for my drink. Peanuts were served first, and they were charged as an appetizer for 350 yen. It had been a while since I visited Akasaka Rikyu, and it was different from the first bite. The aroma of Chinese five-spice powder stimulated the back of my palate, making the food very appetizing. I was full for less than 4,000 yen, with the steamed chicken at 1,200 yen, pork rib rice at 1,690 yen, and the drink included. I am grateful for being able to enjoy the taste of a high-end restaurant at this price. However, the atmosphere is like an alley, so I recommend using it in that kind of situation. I think it's much better than a traditional soba restaurant in a nearby standalone building. I will visit again when I come to Toranomon.

We went with four people on a Sunday and ordered the grilled meat platter with five different kinds of meat. The menu stated that it would be served with three pieces each, but they were able to provide four pieces each for us, which was great! The wonton soup was the most delicious, and I would definitely want to have it again. The flavors were authentic Hong Kong style, but the average cost per person was 4500 yen, which I think is a bit expensive for lunch. As Hong Kong's soul food, the cost performance is not great. The least recommended item was the scallop, which cost 1650 yen for just one piece. It was the worst in terms of cost performance.

The location was a bit hard to find, but I had some trouble looking for it. I ordered the daily lunch set. The flavors were refreshing and all the dishes were delicious, highlighting the quality of the ingredients. At first, I thought the portion of rice was a bit too much, but I managed to finish it. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but I would like to visit again from time to time.

Three kinds of rice: - Crispy grilled pork belly with skin - Kettle-grilled char siu - Special soy sauce-marinated chicken Price: ¥2100 per person This was my second visit since the opening, and it was just as delicious as before. You can choose your favorite grilled items from the menu, and I went with the recommended three by the staff. The pork belly was crispy with a nice contrast between the skin and meat, making it very tasty. The kettle-grilled char siu was also delicious, but the slices were thin so if you want a hearty meat dish, you might prefer something else. The soy sauce-marinated chicken was not as salty as expected, and it was quite light and enjoyable. The soy sauce flavor paired really well with the rice, enhancing its taste.

Lately, going out to eat has become really painful for me... I wonder how everyone else stays motivated. I visited this place near my office and had the set menu shown in the photo. The flavor was good, like Akasaka Rikyu, but the interior was casual. I think if you're going to eat casually, you can get better value at a more authentic Chinese restaurant, right?

Feeling hungry, I headed to "Toranomon Hills Business Tower" and found a specialty grilled meat restaurant called "Akasaka Rigyuu" on the 3rd floor in the "Toranomon Yokocho" area. Whether dining solo or with partners or friends, it's a great choice. Consider visiting at night too. Despite being a grilled meat specialty restaurant, the menu features dishes like shrimp wonton noodles, mara kao, and lemon cola, which made me feel like saying "I want to fly to Hong Kong again." The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, and the staff are friendly, even allowing photography. The seating is compact with around 20 seats, creating a cozy feeling. I ordered the "Rigyu Special Grilled Meat Assortment Rice (2 kinds)" priced at 1,890 yen, where you can choose 6-7 types of meat. I selected the following two: Roasted Char Siu and Special Soy Sauce-marinated Chicken. The char siu had a firm texture and a rich sweetness and umami, while the chicken was boneless and easy to eat with a savory saltiness. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the flavors, although the rice was a bit soft for my liking. The portion size may be small for some, but it was just right for me as my family has smaller appetites. I visited with my wife for lunch on a Saturday around 11:58, sitting at a long table for six people.

Lunch review. I went to Toranomon Yokocho, right? There's a small alley of restaurants inside an office building. I had trouble finding the place at first because the signage was confusing. The information sign had "Akasaka Rikyu" in big letters, but the restaurant was actually "Hong Kong Yakimishu Ka". The same confusion with other restaurants in the alley. The overall atmosphere of the building and the alley was dark and unpleasant. I ordered the Cantonese-style or Hong Kong-style duck on rice, which was over 1800 yen, but it wasn't tasty at all. Compared to the delicious and affordable Chinese restaurants in Toranomon and Shinbashi, this place doesn't even come close. I probably won't be coming back. The staff were attentive and friendly. Thank you for the meal.

I had lunch at a Chinese restaurant in Toranomon Yokocho at Toranomon Hills. I tried the Wonton Noodles for 1,100 yen, which allows you to enjoy the taste of a famous restaurant in Akasaka in a casual setting. Despite its simple appearance, the taste was truly exceptional. The clear soup was delicious, and the large shrimp wrapped in multiple wontons was also very tasty.

Located in Toranomon Hills in November 2022, Toranomon Yokocho is a bustling alley filled with various shops. As someone who mainly engages in solo activities, I tend to feel a bit weary of crowded restaurants with groups of people. However, I keep coming back to Toranomon Yokocho because of a recently discovered favorite spot. "Hong Kong Yakimishu-kai Roppongi Rigyoku" is a casual version of the upscale Chinese restaurant "Roppongi Rigyoku," once owned by the late chef Tan Hikobin. The main highlight here is the "yakimono" (grilled dishes). I opted for the Rigyoku special grilled assortment (five types), which includes the default choices of pork belly with skin and roast duck, with the remaining selections left to my choice. I went for the oven-roasted char siu, boiled chicken, and soy sauce-braised chicken. Each dish was delicious without any misses. The garlic-steamed jumbo prawns were exceptional, with the garlic enhancing the flavor of the prawns. The prawns were tender, and the miso sauce was rich and tasty. The chicken and intestine-stuffed clay pot rice, known as "boujaifan" in Hong Kong, was a must-try. The rice, chicken, and intestines cooked in the small clay pot offered a variety of flavors, and the sweet and sour sauce added a delightful twist. I may have overindulged, but enjoying the grilled dishes and drinks, along with steamed seafood and finishing with boujaifan or shrimp wonton noodles, made for a perfect dining experience.

It's been a while since I visited, but the food is still amazingly delicious. Crispy pork belly, chicken in soy sauce and leek sauce. It may be a bit pricey, but the quality at Akasaka Iten cannot be compared to cheaper places. I've tried eating at other places to save money, but I always end up coming back here. It's the best. I'm curious about their lunch special. It may be expensive, but I'm sure it's delicious. It seems to be quite a generous portion, so takeout might be a good idea. (I could eat it in two separate meals, haha) It may have been two years since my last visit, but the food is still delicious and I'm grateful. The paper menus that don't quite fit the image of Akasaka Palace have increased, adding to the Hong Kong local vibe. The quirky efforts of the staff add to the charm of the place.

I'm not a big fan of alleyway-style restaurants, but the taste here is authentic. I decided to order two items from the menu for lunch. The meat and rice dish was consistently delicious. As for the wonton, it was so tasty that it made my cheeks drop. If there are seats available, I would love to visit this place again and again. Oh, I wish I could work at Toranomon Hills!

I have been curious for a while, and recently I remembered Tan Hikaru, who passed away, so I visited "Akasaka Rigyuu". However, I actually came to "Hong Kong Yakimisakaya Akasaka Rigyuu" in Toranomon Yokocho. It's a shop specializing in grilled dishes such as everyone's favorite char siu. It's perfect for a quick drink. The three grilled dishes assortment includes roasted char siu, boiled chicken, and roasted duck. The char siu is lean meat, not really to my liking, the boiled chicken is thick and moist, and the roasted duck has an irresistible umami flavor. Among the three, the "boiled chicken" is exceptionally delicious. There are also other grilled dishes like "pork belly" and "pork belly with skin" that I want to try. I couldn't resist ordering the garlic-steamed scallops with garlic from the menu on the wall. The chef came out of the kitchen and brought live scallops from outside the store. The scallops served were about the size of a woman's fist, with a thick flesh and an irresistible garlic aroma rising from the scallops. When you put it in your mouth, the crispy and pleasant texture, along with the depth of the coriander and garlic flavors that come out of your nose, make it delicious. Akasaka Rigyuu's shrimp wonton noodles are made with Hong Kong noodles that have a unique chewy texture despite being thin noodles. When you slurp it, there is a slight ammonia smell, but the shrimp's bouncy texture is delicious. Although I didn't eat it this time, there is also a simple and appealing menu of grilled dishes with rice that I would like to try on a revisit. What I am more curious about is the Hong Kong-style clay pot rice "Bao Zai Fan". Next time, I might enjoy some grilled dishes and finish with "Bao Zai Fan".
