01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Head upstairs in the building by Asagaya Station’s north exit and Nisshoen offers the lively, casual feel of a neighbourhood Chinese restaurant. Its menu ranges from noodles and fried rice to individual dishes served with small sides, making it a dependable choice when you want a filling meal.
Crisp-winged gyoza with noodles
The noodle sets let you choose grilled gyoza as an accompaniment. Each dumpling has a thin, savoury crisp skirt and a filling generous with vegetables; enjoy them while they are hot and the texture is at its best. Tantanmen, a noodle-shop staple, pairs thick, flat, curly noodles with minced meat and bean sprouts for a substantial bowl. The hot sanratanmen, with its balance of sourness and spice, is another option. Noodle sets also come with a choice of half a portion of fried rice or gyoza.
A wealth of set meals and fried rice
The set meals cover a wide range of stir-fries and seafood dishes, including mapo tofu, shredded pork with green peppers and sweet-and-sour pork, notable for its generous pieces of meat. Salt-fried seafood with scallops and squid, and seafood with assorted ingredients, come with rice, salad and almond tofu for a full meal. Fried-rice fans can choose options such as garlic-chive, assorted or lettuce fried rice, served with wonton soup; the dishes carry the appealing fragrance of the wok.
An easygoing spot for solo diners and groups
Counter seats make it easy to stop in alone for a quick lunch, while tables suit a casual meal with a few friends. You can also drop by for an everyday bite of gyoza with Tsingtao beer or a sour. Nisshoen is an unpretentious Chinese restaurant in Asagaya.
