Fake reviews removed

A 'spice Chinese' gem in Choeiji, Higashiosaka, relaunched in 2021 by owner chef Osamu Suehiro after 40+ years in Chinese cuisine. The marriage of independently blended 12-14 spice curry with Chinese cooking creates a one-of-a-kind flavor. Selected for Tabelog Chinese WEST 100 Famous Restaurants in 2024 and 2026. Lunch draws guaranteed queues; dozens waited before opening on relaunch day. Prices hover around 1,000-1,500 yen.

"It's Chinese but the curry is exceptional - no other combo like this." "I come back every month for the rotating curry plate." "The melt-in-your-mouth beef tendon curry ramen is shockingly good." "Lines still form after the move. This is where true food lovers gather."
