A no-frills neighborhood Chinese diner (machina-ka) tucked along Hamacho Park, steps from Hamacho Station. The compact dining room seats just 24 at simple four-person tables, with a warm, lived-in Showa-era atmosphere that regulars find instantly comfortable. Known as a longtime haunt of the rock band THE ALFEE — guitarist Sakazaki used to live nearby and dined here regularly — the restaurant has earned a devoted local following. The kitchen serves generous helpings of classic Chinese dishes at remarkably low prices, with a signature mild, comforting broth in noodle dishes and standout fried rice. Cash only; smoking is permitted inside.
