suikoen & niihao

Back in October last year when we visited Tokyo, we had tried Niihao's gyoza, little did we know we would live 20 minutes walking distance from this place!

One of the first things we noticed about Kamata and the surrounding areas after moving here is that there are tons of Chinese restaurants, I would say there are more than the amount of convenience stores!

We tried Suikoen on the day we moved into the apartment.

This was after we got things done at the city office.

The nice thing about Suikoen is that they have 300 yen plates and the servings are quite generous.

We ordered 5 different things(because we didn’t think the servings would be too big)...this pork stir-fry.

chicken with cashews, vegetable stir-fry

gyoza and shrimp with mayo sauce (not pictured).

Super cheap eats.

And then we found out that Niihao has a restaurant near one of our stations (we live in between two stations, so whenever we go somewhere we can walk 8 minutes in either direction to one of the stations depending on what direction we want to go)...we had their gyoza

pork stir-fry

shiru-nashi tan tan men (this is spicy noodles without soup) be sure to mix this well as all the sauce that they serve this with is at the bottom.

There are many other Chinese restaurants that I am sure we will check out, but I have also noticed that there are Thai and Vietnamese restaurants too, so hopefully I can try them for lunch.
