Kariya, Aichi, Japan｜Man Chin Ken Kariya

The Chinese food here is probably more Japanese style Chinese food than real authentic Japanese food, but it is really good. It's the best Chinese food I've ever had. Everything is home-made and I didn't have anything that wasn't excellent. It's a small restaurant though, so reservations a few days in advance would be ideal. Japanese only, no English menu or service.

Since I was staying in Kariya, I looked at the reviews and chose this restaurant because it was a popular restaurant. The reviews said that the lunch menu was reasonable and delicious, but there were almost no reviews for the dinner menu, so I was a little hesitant, but I went there thinking that the taste would be the same. It's a popular restaurant open at 6:30pm on weekends, so I thought there would be a line for a while, but it was full, but the first group was called after about 10 minutes. While I was waiting, I was given a menu to look at. I'm not sure, but there were 6.7 table seats for 4 people, a small rise and stairs to the second floor, so I think there was probably a banquet hall or something. People who appeared to have reservations were taken to the second floor. The staff were pleasant and worked efficiently. It didn't take long from ordering to being served, and all the menu items arrived at almost the same time. This time, I ordered yakisoba with shrimp, bean paste fried noodles, fried shrimp, simple stir-fried shrimp, spring rolls, and gyoza. All menu items were delicious. I don't usually go out to eat Chinese food very often, but I think I know the flavors of some restaurants lol. I would say that I am very satisfied with this taste at this price. I ate so much that it cost less than 2,000 yen per person, and I would like to stop by again when I come to Kariya again. I think the parking lot can accommodate about 5 cars.

Kariya City's most popular Chinese restaurant. The famous lunch menu has 6 dishes, so you won't get bored even if you visit every day. I've only been there for lunch outside, but the evening course looks delicious as well. For lunch, ① double-cooked meat pieces ② mapo tofu ③ oiled chicken (yu ling chee) ④ aged meat (sweet and sour pork) are fixed. ⑤ and ⑥ are the daily menu. The name of the store is similar to Manchinro, a large luxury store in Yokohama Chinatown, but you can rest assured that this is a local-friendly store. It's always crowded with local customers. It's a popular restaurant, so we recommend visiting right after it opens at 11:00, as it's often empty. Please note that the parking lot is small and fills up quickly. Recommended is mapo tofu. In addition, the two daily specials are worth trying.
