About this Restaurant

"Kairakuen" (会楽園) is a venerable Chinese restaurant in Kumamoto, established in 1933, renowned as the birthplace of "Taipien," a local specialty. This small, family-run establishment, operated by a husband and wife, has been featured in popular media such as the manga "Cooking Papa" and TV shows like "Arashi ni Shiyagare." Taipien is a healthful and satisfying dish, characterized by a light yet rich chicken bone broth, abundant vegetables, and thick glass noodles. Lunch is on a walk-in basis, while dinner requires a course reservation for four or more people, making it a private dining experience. It has also been selected as a Tabelog Chinese Cuisine WEST Hyakumeiten.
