Jing Hua Xiao Chi Jinghua Hachioji — Restaurant in Tokyo

I went here for a quick lunch in October 2024. The restaurant has split hours, and I wanted to get in before last orders. There were 2 customers enjoying the fairly spacious balcony (and the nomihodai course), but they quickly changed tables because it started to rain when I got there. The lighting is very bright, but the music and the plants are very delightful.

I didn't realize the xiaolongbao were soup dumplings. I burned my mouth, but I still give them 4/5. The service gets only 4/5 too because the waiter was trying to make himself scarce to avoid the nomihodai table.

I will go here again on a future trip, there's so much more I want to try.

I went back here in May 2025, and there was no one on the balcony. Everyone was seated inside. I ordered the fried chicken lunch set, and burned my mouth again! This time on the hot oil in the karaage. That's one of the hazards of eating fried...

One of the best lunch spots in Hachioji, hands down.

Since moving to Japan I've become somewhat of a shoronpo aficionado, and the delicious little soup dumplings here are the best I've had, eclipsing even the famed Din Tai Fung. They're very delicate and extra juicy though, so be careful.

I recommend the mix shoronpo set, which comes with a variety of dumplings and a very generous bowl of noodle soup (tantanmen is my favorite, but they're all excellent).

Once you eat here you will crave it and...

西放射線ユーロードからちょこっと裏に入ったところ。店舗が2Fにあるためちょっとわかりにくいかも。

おすすめの看板などが出ていて...営業時間が書いてあって...。

2Fに上がる前に空席情報が知りたい場合はインターフォンで。

で、2Fに上がると小籠包の写真がお出迎え。

入り口には「シンガポール発　小籠包と餃子専門店」とあります。シンガポールってのがまず珍しい。中華料理とどこでどんな違いがあるのか、全くわかりませんが、小籠包と餃子中心ってのがまた攻めてる感じ。

店内はこざっぱりして、小洒落たカフェのような雰囲気。テラス席もある。ここはOLに人気がありあそう！

ランチメニューに「当店自慢の点心」とある。いろんな小籠包があったり、蒸し物とセットになった限定があったり、と。ええっとどれにしようかな、でもまぁここは「２段蒸しせいろセット」1,000円...
