Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. Large variety on the menu and everything is well-priced as well. Also one of the rare places open past 9 in this area

It's cheap and portion is big, but taste is a bit disappointing. The dim sum is not bad though.

Best Chinese in Waseda

Walked 15 minutes to be told is closed even though it says 11pm closing and I arrived 10pm

A Chinese restaurant a short walk from 江戸川橋 Station toward 早稲田. The bright, clean-looking interior has rows of tables, and a staff member from the cuisine's country of origin showed me in. The menu had various noodle and small fried rice sets, but I ordered 【マラメンセット】850円 and it arrived in about 5 minutes. It may be mala noodles: the broth was distinctly red with a strong, spicy aroma. Stir-fried bean sprouts, minced meat, garlic chives, and other toppings sat on medium-thick noodles, with egg fried rice on the side. The broth... wasn't as spicy as it looked. It had a definite chili heat, but also a sweet richness and a pronounced saltiness that made it delicious. The savory richness and chunky texture of the minced meat matched beautifully with the vegetables' sweetness and crunch. By comparison, the fried rice looked and tasted simple, but perhaps that was the right choice to complement the powerful broth and savory toppings. These noodles are perfect for cold weather, and I'd recommend them even to people who aren't great with spicy food. There were other delicious-looking noodles too, so I'd like to find time to visit again.
