About this Restaurant

Chugokusa Yunron is a highly-regarded Chinese and Sichuan restaurant in Kichijoji, recognized by Tabelog as a "Hyakumeiten" for 2026. Located six minutes from Kichijoji Station, this hidden gem offers a sophisticated take on Chinese cuisine with delicate, original flavors. Praised for its authentic Sichuan Mapo Tofu, which balances deep umami with subtle spiciness, and memorable sweet and sour pork, the dishes showcase the chef's commitment to quality ingredients. The restaurant provides a stylish and calm atmosphere with sofa seating, though private rooms are not available. Due to limited seating, reservations are highly recommended, especially for dinner, and all payments are cash-only for both lunch and dinner.
