Fake reviews removed

A beloved neighborhood Chinese restaurant founded in 1977 (Showa 52). Located along Route 4 Bypass with a retro exterior that has served locals for nearly half a century. Featured on the TV show 'Let's Drink at Town Chinese Restaurants' as the first Saitama visit. Also used as a drama filming location. The signature dish is shiso gyoza with thick, chewy wrappers packed with filling.

Regulars frequently post comments like 'The taste of my youth' and 'Back after a long time at my favorite town Chinese.' Known to fill up immediately after opening. Shiso gyoza praised as 'shockingly delicious' — large, fluffy, and juicy. A frozen gyoza vending machine is also available for takeout.
