Karinba — Restaurant in Misawa

If you are looking for high-quality Chinese food, this is the place. The prawn with chili sauce was huge. Also, the prawn itself seemed fried in a wok but wasn't coated with frying batter, which made it less greasy and blended well with the chili sauce. The crab-fried rice was probably the best-fried rice I've had. It had a perfect amount of that ‘flame’ flavor, and the rice wasn't greasy with oil, either. Sweet and Sour Pork was probably the highest-quality sweet and sour pork I've ever had. The pork itself was very tender and didn't smell at all. It seemed they either didn't use frying batter or used a very minimal amount, but I was surprised to find that the outside was still crunchy. Things to keep in mind.

So with that I’m wondering what’s the real problem here and why we have an hour wait and the other family get settled in right away? Anyway I will never come back here don’t matter how good the food and the service is and I would NEVER recommend to anybody who I guess isn’t a local...

Hands-down my favorite Chinese cuisine restaurant of all time! The menu isn't as large as some others, but the food is always prepared quite well and is incredibly delicious! Their lunch and dinner sets come with soup of the day, salad, rice, and desert. My wife enjoys their ramen, but my favorite is their egg and wood ear mushroom stir fry. The vegetables and vermicelli is also quite excellent.

The chef keeps things interesting throughout the year by temporarily adding new creations. My favorite temporary menu item was the sechuan fried pork rib. Big, tender, and...
