Overall experiences were okay, the food was spectacular but it took awhile to prepare, I guess that’s why the side dish order was a mandatory? Would be good if u go as a group.

Side story:
I usually study the menu anywhere before I go and here I went there for a Sichuan dumpling soup. The first thing they said to me was that I have to order a 300¥ side dish(liver and pickled cucumber) and a drink along with it. It wouldn’t be a big of a deal if it weren’t total twice the price of the main dish I was going for.

Food was delicious. However, we arrived early to beat the rush and was welcomed into a nearly empty restaurant, but hostess sat us at a table right next to two guests. When another couple entered, they were also sat right next to us on the other side. I understand the efficiency and welcome this if the restaurant was crowded, but this doesn't exactly translate well to being a valued customer, rather just a number.

◑Authentic Chinese Dining　陳家私菜　Shibuya Store◐

As the name of the restaurant suggests, authentic Chinese food is available.

Good to be able to choose the spiciness of some menu items.

The restaurant is lively and the staff is friendly.

When dinner is served in early July 2024, there is a one hour time limit, one drink order with appetizers required. If you are still OK with that, come in!

They have a few locations. I have tried the main shop in Shinjuku and this place. Both are the same quality and service.

Shibuya is more spacious and you don’t have to yell much comparing to how Shinjuku is (so loud lol).

LOVE the food. If you want food with punching flavors, salty/spicy, this is the place. I wish they have more variation of dimsums though!

Suitable for Nomikais (drinking party) and normal get-together lunch/dinner.

Highly recommended by Chinese friends, this is a very affordable place. Everything here is around JPY1,500 for lunch.

Lunch comes with a set of salad, dumplings, rice and tofu ish dessert. You don't have to get the lunch menu, I normally ask for the main menu and choose from there, and they still come with the lunch service.
