About this spot
Kirin Saikan delivers an energetic Chinese-Izakaya experience where you can dive straight into numbing Sichuan peppercorn appetizers or savory dumplings topped with fluffy crab roe. The kitchen specializes in deep umami stir-fries, particularly the popular vermicelli dish and beef cooked in a special oyster oil sauce that coats every noodle strand. Expect a lively counter atmosphere where ordering customs often involve shouting out your choice of spicy chili pepper dishes to the busy staff.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra red chilies on the Sichuan stir-fry if you want maximum heat and aroma.
- Order the Anko Don as a hearty, sweet-and-salty dessert option to end your meal.
- Grab a bottle of cold beer at the counter to pair with the salty garlic tataki cucumber appetizer.
