地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Founded in 1955, about 70 years old.
Only 2 locations in Nagano City (confirmed below the 4-store chain threshold).
Tabelog 3.39 with 218 reviews, among the highest review counts for Chinese restaurants in Nagano.
Backed by multiple sources: Retty (84), TripAdvisor (3.8/20).
3.8
Many personal blog posts including Web-Komachi and local real estate staff blogs.
Reported by numerous local media as 'soul food of Nagano citizens'.
No fake review suspicion (no motive for fake reviews at 680-yen price point).
3-minute walk from Nagano Station, used daily by local regulars.
The 'tasty vs.
not tasty debate' exists, but this is evidence of 70 years of real demand, not a fake review problem.
