Suginami City, Tokyo, Japan｜Eiryu

This is one of the places you must support so that we’ll have good local businesses. Tasty workingman food for affordable prices. Eiryu has a wide array of home made Chinese cooking from noodle-based soups (Tanmen, miso Ramen, wantan men, Wakame etc.), set meals like stir fried liver and scallions, mabo doufu, Yaki niku etc) and rice-based dishes like Chahan and donburi. I had the chahan and it was just right - perfectly accurate dish that can only be made by the guy behind the counter who makes the same food for decades. The place has CCTV footage on the inside which is pretty strange but also nice to look at the street and tv at the same time. There is also a shelf of very old manga books. The stools are really comfortable and everything else is old-school in a good way, from the hand written menu on the wall to the classic tableware.

The Machi Chinese Restaurant is run by an old man all by himself. No matter what you eat, it's delicious, and it may be close to the pinnacle of "it's okay just like this". Since it is a one-off operation, you need to be careful about the timing of ordering and accounting. A store that you want to remain for a long time.

Ramen 650 yen + half fried rice 380 yen It is the so-called street Chinese delicious ramen and fried rice as you imagine. It is easy to park along the Koshu Highway, and there is a monitor inside the store that shows the road conditions. This is a nice service. The omelet rice that the person next to me was eating looked delicious, so I'll try it next time. Thank you for the meal.
