Ichikawa, Chiba, Japan｜中国料理菜華

I had been interested in this restaurant since it had been highly rated on Google Maps, so I had a chance to pass by and stopped by for lunch. The inside of the store is small with 4 counter seats, 3 table seats, and 1 private room. It was just before 12:00 when I visited, but the four parking spaces in front of the store were full with me, and the store was about 80% full, excluding the private rooms, and many of them seemed to be regulars. The inside of the store feels a little old, but it's clean. There were many comments saying that the tandan noodles were delicious, but it was a very hot day when I visited and I didn't feel like eating ramen, so I had the Chinese bowl (880 yen including tax) that I usually eat at Chinese restaurants in town. A variety of ingredients are used in Chinese bowls, such as rare celery, dried shiitake mushrooms, bag mushrooms, green peppers, Chinese cabbage, young corn, pork, and kwai, and it looks different from the Chinese bowls you usually eat in town. I usually eat Chinese rice bowls with a lot of vinegar on them, but first I tried eating them without vinegar. This is the correct answer; it has a very elegant seasoning and allows you to enjoy the aromas of various ingredients. I tried adding vinegar to it and eating it, but the aroma of vinegar overcame it and I felt that the goodness of this Chinese bowl disappeared. As mentioned in many reviews, the way the ingredients are used and the seasoning is different from ordinary Chinese restaurants, and it is more like a Chinese restaurant with a slightly higher price tag. The portion size may be a bit unsatisfactory for those who want a hearty meal, but it's more than enough for me, and the price is a normal Chinese restaurant price, so I think it's worth more than the price. It's a bit of a flaw that you can only pay in cash, but if I have a chance, I would like to visit again and try the tandan noodles next time. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I visited again. This time, I got the tandan noodles (880 yen including tax) that I wanted to try. Half a bowl of rice is served with the tandan noodles. First of all, when I tried the soup, I was surprised at how elegant it tasted, contrary to its appearance. The not-too-rich aroma of sesame and the aromas of chili oil, fish, and dried shiitake mushrooms combine to create a very good balance. It was my first time to have tandan noodles with dried shiitake mushrooms. The noodles used were thin curly noodles, which went well with the elegant soup. Most meats are usually ground, but this restaurant uses thinly sliced ​​meat. At the bottom of the soup, there was also something like chopped zha cai. It was quite different from the tandan noodles I imagined, but it was very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The tandan noodles were really delicious with the sesame flavor! There was no greeting or response from the kitchen, but the staff serving the meals were attentive and polite!

It's been close to my parents' house for almost 20 years, and I've been curious about it for a long time, so I finally decided to visit it in the evening. I was so hungry that I ate it and it was so delicious that I forgot to take a photo and ended up stuffing myself with my husband. The only thing I was able to photograph was the half-eaten levanilla... The gyoza contains onions and is sweet. It reminded me of my parents' gyoza (I'm sure it's a matter of taste, but it's delicious). The size is voluminous. I ordered levanilla, fried rice, spring rolls, and almond tofu, all of which were delicious. It's plump without the liver smell. However, the cost performance is too good. It's always crowded and there are 4 parking spaces, but they're all occupied. There was a lot of criticism about the white rice, but I think the rice is cooked to match the fried rice. It wasn't greasy, it was flaky, and there was a lot of egg involved, so it was great. It wasn't salty, but it had umami flavor, which was really good. My husband said he would like to try Chinese soba (ramen) and fried rice for lunch. I would also like to visit for lunch.
