This Beijing-style Chinese restaurant started life as a Western restaurant. It features an ancient, manually operated elevator, lots of wood paneling, high ceilings, old-fashioned decor, and a friendly staff. From June to mid-September you can sit outside on a wooden veranda over the Kamo River. If it's winter or raining, consider sitting in the fifth-floor dining room, which has nice views of the city. The best views, however, are from the rooftop garden, open in summer, where you can order mugs of beer and dine on dishes from the extensive English-language menu, including sweet-and-sour pork, cooked shrimp with arrowroot, and chicken and green pepper. The service tends to be slow, and I've had better Chinese food, but the atmosphere is great and reminiscent of another era. Popular with families.
Main dishes ¥1,200-¥2,700; set meals ¥5,000-¥10,000.
Open: Daily 11:30am-9pm (last order).
Credit Cards: AE, DC, JCB, MC, V.
On Shijo Dori just west of the bridge spanning the Kamo River, in a large, yellow stone building. Bus: 5, 17, or 205 to Shijo-Kawaramachi.
