Kyokaen — Restaurant in Nagasaki

The thing you need to remember about Chinatown in Nagasaki is that they don't stay open very late. It was a bit late in the day and we wanted to try dining here since it was close to our hotel. Many of the restaurants were already full (and weren't taking any more parties) So we were kinda lucky that this restaurant let us wait for an open table. Last call was 7:30pm and they close at 8:30pm.

Chinese Restaurant Kyokaen 京華園 is fairly large and reminds me a bit of how Chinese restaurants were like in Vancouver back in the 70s.

We ordered a bunch of dishes. They are on the small size but most dishes were only about 1000-1500yen.

We ordered the corn soup, braised Chinese vegetables (which were tiny), sautéed shredded pork with green pepper, and Sara udon special with thin noodles (it was sweeter and with more varied ingredients than the Sara udon we had previously at champon358 but i think I preferred the one we had at champon358 because it had more crispy noodles). We also had the sautéed shrimp and iced almond bean curd dessert (which I haven't seen in Chinese restaurants for years).

Overall, the food was pretty good although somewhat touristy. Dinner came out to about 7600 yen...

But best of all was the soup: made of chicken and pork bone broth, it was rich and mellow with just the right amount of saltiness. All in all, as perfect a bowl of noodles as I’ve ever had. The service was prompt and attentive. If you’re going to initiate yourself to champon, this is definitely the...

Located in the right side of China town gate, this place is always filled with people. They provided Chinese dishes including Nagasaki special champion noodles and crispy thin dry noodles. Also, they modified champion noodles a little bit and it taste good! All the dishes we have are delicious except the recommended shumai skin is terrible :( The atmosphere of restaurant is pretty good. You don’t have to worry about the smell leaving in your cloths. Nice one with fair price for all the dishes we have but some dishes inside are...
