If you have been to Gin Ryu Tei and wondered what's so unique about Japanese-Chinese and Japanese-Korean food, well let us tell you all about it.
Japanese-Chinese food is type of unique chinese style cooking from Japan. You can find such food in the Chinatown in Yokohama. The cooking style for Japanese-Chinese food is heavily influenced by Tokyo where the soup, for example, is darker in colour compared to other parts of Japan. For noodle dishes, ramen is used instead of the Chinese wan tan mee that you normally find in Malaysia. The taste of such noodle dishes is slightly more salty and not as spicy.
Some of the all time Japanese-Chinese favourities are 'Fried Dumplings' (Gyoza), 'Fried Vegetables', 'Subuta' (Sweet & Sour prawns), and over 30 different types of noodle dishes. Like 'Miso Ramen' (Soya bean paste), 'Ramen', 'Buta Kakuni Ramen' (pork ramen) and one of the popular dishes from Japan 'Negi Ramen' (leek with soya sauce soup & char siew). Noodles is one of the speciality of Gin Ryu Tei as it is home-made, so freshness is assured. Taste is similar to what you would taste in Japan as some of the spices are brought in directly from Japan.
Compared to Korean food which is spicier and sweeter, the Japanese-Korean food retains the Japanese flavour and taste. BBQ is hit among our patrons where you could cook it the way you like or leave it in the hands of the chef. Some of the popular dishes are: 'Momoniku' (Chicken), 'Buta' (Pork Loin), 'Yasai' (Vegetables) and 'Karubi' (US short rib). A very popular pickle in Korea 'Kimuchi' is home-made so that is adapted to Japanese taste to make it less spicy and less sweeter.
