Chugoku Hanten Roppongi

Established over 40 years ago in Roppongi, this Chinese restaurant has been acknowledged for its greatness by first-class cooks from all over China. Chugoku Hanten serves authentic Chinese cuisine made from the best quality ingredients available during the season. While it's worth visiting any time of the year, a drop by during fall allows you to sample the hairy crab, a prized Chinese seasonal delicacy. Other signature dishes like mapo tofu and Beijing duck are available all year round. With a spacious interior that can accommodate up to a hundred people in its smartly-decorated dining room, this pioneering Chinese restaurant in Roppongi is number one when you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine. All three Tokyo branches of Chugoku Hanten — two more branch outlets in Mita and Ichigaya — are amazing, and regularly pick up Tabelog Awards, including placements in the Tabelog Top 100, but there's simply no beating the original.
