Ajikoen

This two-story Chinese restaurant, newly opened in the Kōmyōji shopping district, features a rich menu showcasing professional skills with dishes like gyoza, sweet and sour pork, and mapo tofu, each plate bursting with enticing aromas. The crispy five-spice rice and the sweet and sour pork with a rich black vinegar sauce are particularly praised for their perfect balance of mild spiciness and umami, making them great accompaniments to rice. The attentive service, which welcomes photo-taking, and the thoughtful touch of offering almond tofu for a relaxing finish to the meal are also appealing aspects.
