About this place
The restaurant’s champon with thick sauce is a little different from the familiar champon or sara udon. One diner who has visited several times describes it as a bowl of thick noodles covered in plenty of sauce, with a memorable garlicky flavour. As you eat, the sauce gradually thins, until by the end the dish feels like champon—a distinctive feature of this bowl. It could appeal to fans of thick-sauce dishes, as well as anyone looking for a different lunchtime take on champon.
Another noodle option is the dish listed on the menu as “Yakisoba (Crispy),” a sara udon-style dish. A diner who tried it commented on the variety of ingredients. When choosing between the noodle dishes, there is a clear contrast between a thick-noodle bowl with a rich sauce and a plate of crispy noodles.
Beyond noodles, the menu includes Chinese classics such as sweet-and-sour pork, twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu, as well as set meals. Some diners say they return to the sweet-and-sour pork at lunchtime; another has reviewed the twice-cooked pork set meal. You could decide what to order before you go, or make the daily set meal your reason to visit. The listed prices are 1,200 yen for sweet-and-sour pork and 950 yen for the twice-cooked pork set meal. Half portions of twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu are also listed, offering a way to try a little of more than one dish.
True to its name, the restaurant also serves yakitori and small plates. Diners have ordered bonjiri (chicken tail) and seseri (chicken neck), and one account describes enjoying dishes from both the Chinese menu and the yakitori side. That range makes it possible to centre a meal on a single Chinese dish, or add skewers and small plates.
For a group meal, there are courses available from 2 people. The 3,000-yen course includes 8 dishes, while the 4,000-yen course includes 9; both combine yakitori, individual dishes and Chinese food. The menu offers a flexible choice of set meals and noodles at lunchtime, and courses or small plates in the evening.
