Binza - Chinese for Chinese


Let's face it, Chinese food in Japan is disappointing. Over-priced and full of odd dishes like "tenshin-han", it certainly isn't the "can't lose" option you have in other countries. One place you can rely on is Binza (one block north of Sanjo/Higashioji). Modestly and oddly decorated as most good Chinese restaurants are, Binza has the unstoppable combination of bad service and good food. And they also have insane deals like a 3,990 yen all you can eat and drink deal for 2 hours! Totally insane. Be sure to try the mouth-watering sweet and sour pork (northeast China style) featured here and tofu salad. Two thumbs up.
