Hyperlocal Tokyo

I visited this restaurant specifically for the Peking duck and chicken ramen. Upon being seated, they serve green tea (which is essentially like water and they refill it when it runs out). Most dishes come in two sizes: small and medium. If you're a group of 3-4 people sharing a few dishes, the small size is more than enough. The chicken ramen in particular is a very large portion, impossible to finish by yourself. The food comes out incredibly fast, with dishes arriving one after another at a rapid pace. The chicken ramen is rich and flavorful, almost like a creamy chicken broth ramen. Personally, I found the Peking duck to be delicious. The only downside was the staff's lack of friendliness and their rather cold demeanor.

The meat spring rolls come in a serving of two, making them perfect for a light snack. They're the classic, crispy style, and best enjoyed with mustard or chili sauce. The Five-Flavor Braised Rice features a variety of meats, including liver, along with shrimp, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and more. It's a hearty dish with a generous amount of flavorful gravy that goes perfectly with the rice. The signature Special Chicken Stew Noodle is served in a large pot, enough for one person to share. The white, cloudy broth is packed with chicken flavor and comes in a generous portion. The noodles are smooth and slippery, similar to a boiled noodle dish, and the collagen-rich broth is light and easy to drink. I finished the entire bowl in no time. I visited on a weekend and saw a diverse crowd, from couples to families. They're open until 4 am, so it seems like a popular spot for people looking for a late-night meal after a night out.

This place's "Chicken Stew Noodle" and "Pork Curry" are dishes that make me crave them regularly. Almost everyone who visits orders these two dishes! Even during lunchtime, people skip the lunch sets and go for these two.🤭

A classic Chinese diner in Roppongi that has been watching over the city's nightlife for 60 years! The dazzling ladies and the men with hidden fangs are all in a temporary truce here, because the food is so good! The interior is a hotel-style restaurant space with a solid build. Even around 11:00 PM, it's packed! And there's a line. It's Chinese food, so the turnover is fast. Most customers are eating the famous chicken and noodle soup. It comes in a clay pot, filled with a rich, collagen-packed chicken broth and thick, soft noodles that resemble milk noodles. It's not just soothing for a tired stomach, but also has a strong flavor that makes you want to keep eating! It's amazing how you can always finish it, even if you think it's too much! The spring rolls are also excellent! The crispy shell and the generous filling are irresistible. The jellyfish appetizer is also thick and satisfying. Go for it! Don't hesitate, even if you're in your 'hunting mode'!

A Chinese restaurant in Roppongi. It's located about a 5-6 minute walk from Roppongi Station. While it's a Chinese restaurant, it's now famous for its chicken white soup ramen. It's a long-established restaurant founded in 1963. I went there on a weekday around 7 pm and it was about 70-80% full. The interior is typical of a Chinese restaurant. Most of the staff are foreigners. Today I had the following: ✔︎ Special Chicken Stew Ramen (¥1,500) It arrived in about 10 minutes. It came in a surprisingly large pot. It's a simple ramen with Chinese greens and shredded chicken. The soup is made by simmering chicken for a long time, so it's full of collagen and has a thick consistency. It's kind of like Hakata Mizutaki. The noodles are thin and chewy, like udon. I ate about 4-5 small bowls worth. For this amount of food, at this price in Roppongi, it's not bad. But nowadays, if I want ramen, there are many other delicious places. It's just one option. Thank you for the meal!!
