Abiko, Chiba, Japan｜Karen' chūbō (Chinese lotus kitchen)

It’s true. The fried rice reminds me of Chinese fried rice in American Chinese food shops. So good and fresh and run by actual Chinese people! 非常美味！The waitress was a little terse, though.

This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Japan. I love it. I love everything here. The people are cool, the food is amazing, it almost taste like Western American Asian food. It is just great. You will love it. Also there are places to sit, room enough for kids to run around, there is a kids menu. It’s just a happy place to take your family, friends, have a drink with your friends. But the food is amazing. And the price is cheap. Good cheap, happy. That’s all I want.

I ordered the mapo tofu set meal for lunch. Rice is nice and comes with free refills. What's more, it comes with soup, salad, zha cai, and even almond tofu for a great deal. I couldn't help but let out a cry of admiration at the food that was brought to me. The tofu dances like a living thing in the simmering clay pot. You excited. I never thought I'd be able to find such a great value lunch menu with cooking that also serves as a presentation. As you carry the astragalus, being careful not to get burned, the bean paste becomes thick, and you can feel the spicy Chinese miso and garlic deep inside. The ground meat has a strong flavor. Smells like Chinese spices. The tofu has a smooth texture. It's so spicy and delicious that it makes you sweat. I'm also satisfied with the volume. I was already full, but when I asked for a refill of rice, I was over 100% satisfied.　2023.10
