About you-en

Chef Ouchi of "Yuuen" constantly strives to provide customers with innovative Chinese cuisine, always pursuing new dishes using fresh and seasonal ingredients based on his extensive experience in various Chinese restaurants

The chef personally visits the market every morning to carefully select the finest seasonal ingredients. For example, you can enjoy appetizers like "Uni Yuba," featuring sea urchin marinated in Shaoxing wine atop Yuba that has been stretched and transformed into a mousse-like texture. Another highlight is the meticulously seasoned and deep-fried Amadai fish scales made from fresh seafood. We invite you to savor these à la carte dishes and experience the chef's dedication to ingredient quality.

The main concept revolves around cherishing the connection with our valued customers. The restaurant name "Yuuen(遊猿)" incorporates the zodiac sign of the owner-chef, which is the "Year of the Monkey(申、猿)" coinciding with the restaurant's opening year and the notion of the restaurant being his "playground(遊)" which symbolizes express creativity and enjoyment. We aim to provide a lively and relaxed atmosphere for you to enjoy authentic and ever-evolving Chinese cuisine.
