Zensai moriawase of shūmai, chāshū, kikurage and pītan
Shūmai
Fried rice
Gomoku wanton
Wanton with noodles
A venerable Chinatown eatery in business since late-1945 and beloved of novelist Ikenami Shōtarō, Seifūrō is known for its delicious shūmai dumplings (also available for take-out), fried rice and wanton noodles.
With only six tables on the ground floor, queues are the norm with waits of up to 45 minutes not uncommon. Once inside, the interior is all nostalgic simplicity harking back to the restaurant’s post-war heyday.
Customer service can be somewhat hit and miss, ranging from gentle hostility to effusive hospitality. Photography is also, rather unsuccessfully, prohibited.
