Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜紅龍門 池袋西口店

I've been here several times and it's the best store! This is a Chinese restaurant with a beautiful interior, delicious food, and a friendly mom and chef. All of the dishes are delicious and authentic, and if you request something that isn't on the menu, they will serve it for you! In particular, the steamed chicken that was recommended to me was a great dish with fluffy chicken, juicy sauce, green onions, and lard flavor! It's a store that's easy to access, comfortable, and makes you want to keep coming back. I'll come again♪

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. First of all, the landlady doesn't like oil, so I like the clean feeling of having all the tables cleaned without any oil. Also, the pork legs that can be ordered at this restaurant are different from other restaurants. The pork trotters are deep-fried, and the crispy texture and moist collagen permeate your body. We highly recommend it for first-time visitors. Daikon mochi with plenty of dried shrimp is also a recommended standard menu item. Also, the mapo tofu is a quality you won't find in Yokohama Chinatown, so I recommend it. I have never eaten it, but the customer who ordered the gomoku fried rice was in agony that it was delicious.

The charm of elegant Taiwanese Chinese cuisine at ``Koryumon'' with excellent access right next to Ikebukuro Station Exit C1 [Store name] Koryumon [Nearest station] Ikebukuro Station, 8 minutes walk, right next to Exit C1 [Budget] 2500 yen-4000 yen Visited in May 2023 [About the store] I visited a Chinese restaurant near the west exit of Ikebukuro Station! It's right in front of Exit C1 of the underground passage, so even if it's raining, you don't have to worry about it too much. It's on the second floor of the building, so go up the stairs and enter the store. The inside of the store is clean, there are many table seats, and it is full of people who appear to be regular customers, such as groups of housewives and couples. You can see that it is well-established and popular. There are many high-quality whiskeys such as ``Yamazaki'', and I feel that it is suitable for use as an izakaya. [About the food] ★Versatile green onion and clam salad It's aromatic and light, making it a perfect accompaniment to alcohol. Even my friend who doesn't really like shellfish liked it. ★Homemade fried gyoza The skin is baked crispy and fragrant, and the light and crunchy texture spreads in your mouth. When you take a bite, the juiciness spreads in your mouth and you can feel the fragrant aroma. ★Steamed chicken This steamed chicken has a perfect balance of refreshing acidity and tangy spiciness. Intertwined with the chicken and vegetables, you can also feel the citrus aroma, giving it a refreshing flavor. ★Black vinegar sweet and sour pork The pork is crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. The sweetness and sourness are in perfect harmony. I feel that they have put some thought into the appearance of the dishes, such as cucumbers and cilantro. I think the scent of coriander goes well with sweet and sour pork. If you don't like coriander, it might be a good idea to let the staff know in advance. ★Fried rice ★Dandan noodles I feel that rice and noodles also have a strong aroma. The fried rice was crispy and the dandan noodles had a good amount of spice. Although the signboard says ``Taiwanese Chinese cuisine,'' the restaurant is designed to suit the Japanese palate. When you think of so-called "town Chinese" restaurants, you may find many restaurants with strong flavors, but Koryumon's dishes are impressive in that they have a light and elegant flavor, accented with fragrant spices. The cost performance is very good. The appearance of the dishes is well thought out, giving it a luxurious feel. I feel that it is easy to use for both lunch set meals and dinner time. Why not consider it as one of your options for dining near the west exit of Ikebukuro Station? Thank you for the meal.
