Founded in 1977, this legendary town Chinese restaurant near Arakawa Ward Office has stood for over 47 years. The mega-size fried rice (5 cups of rice, ¥1,200) is hailed as the king of mega-portions in Arakawa. Its light oil, mild seasoning, and surprisingly smooth texture are signs of true craftsmanship. 200 customers a day, with 2nd and 3rd-generation regulars — a genuine local institution. The karaage is also exceptional, drawing visitors from across Japan via Google Maps.

Tabelog 3.49 (731 reviews), Yahoo Map 3.94 (91 reviews), TripAdvisor 3.9/5 (35 reviews). 'Insanely generous portions.' 'The owner's cheerful "thank you" makes you happy.' 'Mysteriously smooth fried rice for being so light on oil.' 'Multi-generational regulars keep coming.' Featured in local media including Arakawa News and Shokuraku Web. One of the rare surviving Showa-era town Chinese restaurants.
