Chinese Restaurant ZENDO

I was invited to a meal at the super popular restaurant “ZENDO” in Kitashinchi, where it can be difficult to get a reservation♪

The interior is snug, with only counter seating and a VIP room in the back. Since it has an open kitchen, you get to see the owner chef working live which is GOOD〜♪
I enjoyed a number of dishes prepared by the chef who has worked at another famous restaurant!
With dandan noodles for 950 yen and black vinegar sweet and sour pork for 900 yen, the menu is full of very reasonably priced dishes.

■ Szechuan Mapo Tofu:900 yen
Enveloped in the strong smell of Szechuan peppers, the balance between the deep flavors and the spiciness is excellent!
This bowl of mapo tofu, full of coarsely ground meat and tofu, is quite filling and tastes even better over rice♪

■ Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork:900 yen
The black luster on the plate is striking!!!
The sour taste from the black vinegar is refreshing and pleasing to the body, and you can taste a faint sweetness to it.
The juicy slices of pork are very tasty!
The crunchiness of the accompanying yams is also good!
This is definitely a must-try dish☆

■ Stir-fried Water Spinach and Mushrooms:900 yen
Water spinach is full of nutrients like iron, calcium, fiber, and vitamin C!
I tried it stir-fried with XO sauce (+150 yen)!

■ Dandan Noodles:950 yen
Specialty of the house! The rich flavor in the thick soup of these dandan noodles is just incredible☆

■ Soft and Thick Kanitama (Crab Meat Omelet on Rice):900 yen
I ordered it with a salty base.
The gentle taste is comforting. The translucent sauce looks beautiful!

■ Hot and Sour Soup:550 yen

■ Zendo Style Black Fried Rice:1,200 yen

■ Annin Tofu:500 yen

■ Mango Pudding:500 yen

■ Six Appetizer Plate (Serves Two):2,000 yen
