Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜Shatenki Nigouten

This restaurant has 5 chefs they know damn well what they're doing. I'm not Chinese so I can't verify the authenticity of the taste, but for international tastebuds, this restaurant is spot on. Let's start with the food. You can order the shrimp porridge set (you get shrimp porridge + fried chicken + pork bun) for 1500円 and you'll go home with a full and happy stomach. Add some dumplings and cakwe and you'll go home with a very full and very happy stomach. All the food feels freshly cooked and is seasoned to perfection. Everything I ate felt like the chef has mastered the dish. The service was also good. I went on a Monday afternoon and the queue was very long. However, line moved very quickly and I ended up only waiting around 5-10 minutes. They have quite a lot of space and plenty of quick and kind staff. I spilled 3 drops of soy sauce and a staff immediately came, smiled, and wiped it off. I ordered without looking at the price so I was expecting to pay like 5000 yen cuz I had 4 add ons total for 2 people. I ended up paying only 3600 which I will divide with my girlfriend who ate with me. The price was surprisingly cheap and I left as full as when I ate at some of the other all you can eat restaurants in the area. I came with high expectations due to the good reviews of this restaurant and I'm happy to say that those expectations were well fulfilled. I would've given this 6 stars if I could.

Absolutely amazing! You must visit, expect to queue but it’s so worth it. We arrived at 08:15am and there was already a queue. Recommend the dumplings and ramen

Great place. Everything on the menu is good. Which is probably why there are long lines that span across the street to go here. They have dim sum and the general chibese food. It seems like most people come here for the porridge which is reliably good. They also have a second and even a third shop nearby if you want to try your luck with a shorter line.
