Kyusaiko

I first heard about this place on a variety show on TV. After watching that segment, I had to make a visit because… they offer an all-​you-​can-​eat, buffet-​style (and no time limit!) lunch for only ¥1000! Yes, you read that right: one thousand yen! The day I went, I arrived when it opened (11:30am) and the line to get in was already out the door and just around the corner of the building! I was in line for about 45 until I was seated. There are a few big tables that seat up to nine (9) people and the host/​hostess will ask of you want your own table or a shared table where you sit with other diners; I was starving so I chose the shared table.
The wait was worth it! Some of the best Chinese I’ve had! One of my favorite dishes is called Mapo Tofu and their version of it is some of the best I’ve ever had! Right amount of spiciness without being sweet in the beginning, like others I’ve had in the past. Some of the other dished they serve we’re delicious as well; especially their su-​buta (aka sweet and sour pork), and an eggplant dish in a dark garlic sauce.
Looking forward to taking my husband to this place! Knowing him, he’ll love it as much as I do!
P. S. The ¥1000 lunch is only offered on weekdays (Monday — Friday).
