Yokohama Daihanten

Located at the corner of Zenrinmon Gate on Yokohama Chinatown's main street, this venerable restaurant has been a staple since its establishment in 1962. With a concept of "enjoying authentic Chinese cuisine casually," the restaurant offers meticulously prepared dishes using carefully selected ingredients. The menu covers the Four Great Chinese Cuisines: Cantonese, Shanghai, Sichuan, and Beijing, each prepared by specialized chefs, allowing diners to enjoy genuine flavors in a relaxed setting.

Yokohama Daihanten Restaurant is well-known not only for its à la carte menu but also for its exceptional all-you-can-eat offerings. The buffet includes about 100 dishes, ranging from signature Peking duck and shark fin soup to dim sum, main courses, and desserts. The order-style buffet ensures that each dish is freshly prepared and served. This high-quality buffet is popular for offering a premium dining experience rather than just being an inexpensive option.

The restaurant spans four floors, from the basement to the third floor, all featuring a classic interior design that exudes a retro charm. The first-floor shop sells original items such as dim sum and Chinese sweets, making them perfect souvenirs to take home.
