Yokohama Chinatown is far from my hometown, so every visit feels special. Among the many restaurants there, Kinryou (金陵) stands out. This Cantonese restaurant specializes in Canton-style roasted meats, and it’s incredibly popular. When I arrived, there was already a long line of people eagerly waiting to get their hands on the delectable roasted meats displayed in the window. The aroma and the sight of the hanging meats transported me straight to Hong Kong😊
On the first floor, the staff skillfully cuts the roasted meats, which are then served upstairs on the second floor.
The menu primarily features various meats such as roast pork, roast duck, roast chicken, and pork offal. You can enjoy these meats as part of an assorted platter or in a rice bowl. They also offer a small selection of noodles and other dishes.
Interestingly, the menu includes Nepali curry, but it wasn’t available during my visit—perhaps due to a separate chef or their busy schedule.
Kinryou is famous for its assorted meat platters, which include a little bit of everything (though the portions are quite generous!). Naturally, we ordered the small assorted meat platter. It came with roast pork, crispy-skinned grilled pork, steamed chicken, liver, pork stomach, and more—around eight types of meat in total.
Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the steamed chicken. The platter was perfect for three people, though it could easily serve four. The meats were rich and fatty, so we paired them with strong tea to cleanse our palates.
I originally planned to buy an assortment of meats to enjoy at home, but after our feast, I felt too full and decided against it. However, as soon as I got home, I regretted not bringing some back. Next time, I won’t hesitate!
Aside from the meat, we also ordered smashed cucumber with Chinese sauce. The cucumber was crisp, and the sauce soaked into it perfectly, making for a refreshing contrast to the heavy meats. It’s no surprise—Chinese restaurants always seem to excel at cucumber dishes!
