    This Chinese Restaurant is in an arcade in front of the Kintetsu Yunoyama Line's Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station. It's a four-minute walk away. One of their best dishes is the local Yokkaichi favorite known as tonteki or pork steak.

Their hearty Butachahan Set meal featuring pork fried rice and a small bowl of ramen noodles with soy sauce broth comes recommended, as does their Curry Tenshin-han, a novel combination of fluffy egg over rice topped with curry sauce.
