Revisit to Saikoshinkan, a well-renowned Cantonese restaurant in Yokohama, Japan’s Chinatown. Very upscale restaurant with great service and amazing dumplings. The skins were typically very thin with excellent texture and flavor. If there was MsG in the food it was subtle and not really detectable. I especially liked their spin on the thousand year egg -very creamy and no hint of the ammonia flavor I often expect. The Jellyfish was wider and crunchier and quite good. Wonton soup was one of the best I ever had. The broth was delicate but had an intensity from the fish used to make it. Xiao long bao was perfect- the dumpling wrap, the broth, the filling - very squirty but did not disintegrate if you looked at it funny. A couple of unusual dumplings and rice dishes. All in all - comparable in quality to the highest end places in Vancouver , arguably better than LA w a few exceptions. The standout for me was the shrimp wonton soup . Just can’t get it made that well in LA. #Kuishinbo #thefoodietraveler

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal at the female owned Saikoshinkan, especially the two most popular dishes on their menu, the shrimp cheung fun and fried shrimp roll. The tender fried shrimp roll came with a suggested side of mayonnaise, which I would have never thought of but was a perfect match. The crab chaahan was also delicious. The cheung fun skin melted in my mouth, leaving me to wonder if I should extra and skip dessert. There are several courses to choose from if you’d prefer to leave it up to them as well. (Including a no meat course for pescatarians - however the no meat course includes seafood). The staff were accommodating to my dietary requests, and were able to remove meat from my dishes. The venue is spacious with multiple floors and a gift section next to the entrance. Just a heads up to make a reservation in advance of you may wait up to 40 minutes! -They don’t offer it on the table but if you ask, there is black vinegar you can add to your meals for that extra bit of malty flavoring.

The food was generally okay, but disappointed a bit with slightly tough and dry meat despite that we went for an early dinner on a crowded national holiday. Char siu was particularly tough and dry, both the crispy type and inside the dim sum. The duck was better, but the skin was a bit too hard instead of crispy. We also missed small vegetable dishes in the menu, since the only stir fried greens were completely overcharged with 2400 JPY per portion (quarter duck was under 2000 for reference). For the general prices, an appetiser would have been nice as well. The staff was very attentive and polite, thanks for that. Their number reservation system is not reliable btw, so I recommend to monitor your phone rather than trusting the called numbers on the screen. We waited over an hour only to find out that we would have been able to go in already despite the number that was shown on the screen. Overall, we'll likely try other places first before coming back.

Have to say that I was surprised that I could find a Chinese restaurant in the overhyped touristy chukagai that offers authentic Cantonese dim sum! Compared to the other restaurants along the main streets that have all-you-can-eat, i recommend that you walk into the alley for this if you are craving what you missed when you were in Hong Kong. No doubt the price is slightly higher, but I sometimes see big black cars dropping off rows of businessmen in suits here so you can expect it’s not your typical neighborhood chuka. I think it’s great that they have the lower floors serving more affordable dishes to the typical working class like myself. Don’t forget to check out the small shop near the entrance selling its fine selection in frozen take home packs of you would like to recreate the taste at home with the safety of social distancing.

The dishes were mostly good and tasted authentic and similar to what I’m used to (Cantonese style dim sum), definitely better than the multiple all-you-can-eat places around. Of course, this was on the pricier side, but honestly it wasn’t too bad. We decided to order off the menu instead of going for one of the courses. If you know what you like, it’s definitely more worth it to just order the items that you want. The course included other things like cabbage rolls and fried rice which we weren’t interested in. We ended up spending less than half of what we would have spent for the course! There were quite a few people even on a week day afternoon, but the online reservation is fairly easy and hassle free.

Service is quick and staff are friendly and professional. The Xiao long bao is amazing, one of the best I’ve had. The soup inside is so tasty and the skin is nice and thin. The har gao is great too! They provide new plates for every dish that they serve. The restaurant is also very clean and well spaced out between each tables. As a Cantonese Chinese myself, everything tasted really good and authentic. The only dish that I’d say is not super good would be the Chee cheong fun filled with char siew and prawns. The Chee cheong fun was a bit thick. Other than that, everything is great- the price is reasonable, service is good and the food is great too. I will definitely come back again!
