Chinese restaurant • 8-chōme-3-9 Higashisuna, Koto City, Tokyo 136-0074, Japan
"Koryuken," a long-established Chinese restaurant nestled in the backstreets of downtown Tokyo. This restaurant, with its 60-year history, warmly welcomes visitors with a loud greeting and a lively atmosphere inside.
As soon as you open the door, the fragrant smell of vegetables from the kitchen immediately caresses your nose. The red tables lined up at the counter exude a retro atmosphere. The menu is filled with countless items, making it hard to choose.
The simple and traditional flavors of "ramen" and "fried rice" are exquisite. The perfect balance between the soup's umami and the noodles brings a comforting taste that fills the mouth. The garlic-flavored "gyoza" with its crispy skin and moist filling is an outstanding dish.
The restaurant is currently run by three sisters. The proprietress, swinging the pots in the kitchen, evokes a scene reminiscent of an old-fashioned household. They continue to faithfully preserve the traditional flavors passed down from their grandfather, providing genuine town Chinese cuisine that remains unchanged over time.
Cash payment only, no parking available. It is a restaurant brimming with the nostalgic atmosphere of downtown Tokyo, offering various dishes that are perfect as a beer accompaniment. Please be sure to try them.
