About this place
One diner was impressed by the yurinchi chicken lunch, where the crisp, fragrant coating comes together with a sweet-and-sour sauce. The chicken is cut into bite-sized pieces, and the sauce is generously topped with chopped spring onion. It works as a rice accompaniment or as a dish in its own right; a draft beer or Tsingtao beer would also make a good pairing. The lunch set costs ¥1,250 and includes zha cai, steamed rice, soup and lychee, making it a substantial meal with a sweet finish.
For noodles, tantanmen is available with a choice of extra-hot, medium or mild seasoning. One diner took time to savour the soup, noting its tang and sesame flavour, while another found the seasoning easy to enjoy. The lunch-menu tantanmen costs ¥1,000, and the option to adjust the heat makes it an appealing choice whether you want a fiery bowl or something gentler.
Rice dishes and yakisoba have their own appeal. One fan of the mapo yakisoba said they enjoyed it with additions such as half a portion of fried rice, bang bang chicken or fried chicken. It is also possible to build a meal around a single dish and add something on the side. The menu includes gomoku ankake yakisoba and gomoku fried rice, so you can choose between noodles, rice and a thick-sauce dish. Lunch sets featuring sweet-and-sour pork, shrimp in chilli sauce or chinjao rosu are available too, with sides such as bang bang chicken or zha cai, steamed rice, soup and lychee.
Adding almond tofu for dessert is another option; it is listed at ¥200. Whether you prefer a single main dish or a set that includes sides and dessert, there are choices to suit your appetite and mood.
