it's not very large, and in some respects, why go all the way to Japan to have Chinese food, which is available in most cultures. Our local Chinatown is at least double the size of this one More

I ended up not eating in this area, but I enjoyed walking around and looking at it. The first restaurant I saw, right across from my hotel, had a hostess waiting behind the desk giving you a glare that seemed to say "I dare you to come in here." I gave it a wide berth, believe me.

Nonetheless, it is “very Chinese” in its look and feel, and authentic – and there are many choices to sample Chinese food, especially noodles and steamed buns. A good place to have... More

I've visited there several times as I am from Kyushu. Shinchi Chinatown is not that big, but I like to walk around the area and have lunch in a Chinese restaurant. In the Chinatown there are several restaurant which serves Chanpon (noodles with soup and a lot of vegetables and some cut pork, shrimps) and the price is reasonable. I... More
