Good food but 6000 yen minimum for a credit card. I would've appreciated if they had a sign or something before I entered

Even Japanese people can enjoy it. It's delicious, but when I got home I realized I reeked of spices 😆 My beloved dog 🐶 went wild as if to say, where did you go eat something tasty?! 🤣

The grilled flavor is pretty good. Lamb skewers are a must; cauliflower, grilled lamb tail, and garlic are recommended. The wontons and dumplings are highly recommended. The lamb trotters come with skin and have almost no meat; relative to the price, the ingredients are already quite good. The wontons are so delicious; you can order a half portion of 5. The nostalgic atmosphere is great. It's just that the hygiene inside is a bit... The tables are sticky, and the cooking fumes build up and don't clear. One server delivers dishes wearing rubber gloves and doesn't change them when cleaning either, so hygiene is still a concern.

【Authentic hardcore Chinese (gachi chuka) that's easy to eat even for Japanese people】 When I think of gachi chuka, I imagine lots of cilantro or spiciness. It's a genre I tend to avoid a bit, but I visited on the recommendation of an acquaintance who's a Chinese food watcher. It's the so-called skewer style, but the flavors suit Japanese palates too, and the lamb in particular was outstanding. We also ordered spices on the side, and dipping into them made it even more delicious — an unexpected surprise. The price was just under 9000 yen for 3 people, quite affordable, which surprised us in a good way. The other customers seemed to be mostly Chinese, and you heard more Chinese than Japanese being spoken around. It's a taste I'd like you to try at least once, without thinking "Gyoza no Ohsho is tastier anyway...".

Hardcore authentic Chinese (gachi chuka) with mainly Chinese customers. You can reserve via Hot Pepper even late. The menu is reasonably priced overall, so you can try various things. First, the wontons. Wontons with 薺菜 for 1188 yen. I wondered what that was, and it turned out to be nazuna (shepherd's purse). They're more gyoza-sized than wonton-sized, and there are 9? of them, so it's quite a lot. A half portion might be enough. Next, skewers. Grilled chicken heads! and lamb tail. Again, items you rarely see elsewhere. You eat them while separating the bones with your tongue. Overall, this time was for advanced eaters.
