Quite a few of these old-style Chinese restaurants have appeared on Tokyo Times over the years. Some are still going strong, whereas others have sadly succumbed to the unrelenting passage of time. The latter is an increasingly common occurrence of late, as these types of places flourished in the post war years, so many are now both old, and run by similarly aged owners.
This one, however, is happily very much still in business despite opening way back in 1955. Needless to say it will eventually come to an end when the current, and final family member decides to call it a day, but until then, it’s a place that is an absolute joy with its quiet charm and old school simplicity.
