We offer a new izakaya experience that blends Gindaco's friendly charm with the deliciousness of authentic dim sum and Chinese cuisine, perfect for casual dining.

Recommended Menu (Examples)

'Homemade Xiaolongbao' (5 pieces) 780 yen (858 yen including tax)

Homemade Xiaolongbao

Each 'Homemade Xiaolongbao' is carefully handcrafted in-store from scratch. When you bite into these steamed dumplings with their chewy wrappers, hot, rich broth and concentrated umami burst into your mouth, filling it with flavor.

Absolutely Delicious! Liver and Leek Stir-Fry

Fresh liver delivered directly from a meat center is stir-fried with crisp leeks and bean sprouts until fragrant, then finished with a rich, deeply flavored special sauce. This signature dish, with its tender, rich liver and savory original sauce, whets your appetite and pairs perfectly with drinks or rice.

'Absolutely Delicious! Liver and Leek Stir-Fry' 580 yen (638 yen including tax)

'Dongpo Pork' 680 yen (748 yen including tax)

Dongpo Pork (Tonpuro)

'Dongpo Pork' features pork belly with the skin on, simmered until so tender it falls apart with your chopsticks. Seasoned with a rich, sweet-and-savory blend of Shaoxing wine and Chinese soy sauce, it enhances the pork's natural umami and the sweetness of the fat. Its melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor make it an excellent match for alcoholic drinks.

Saliva Chicken

Tender, juicy chicken is paired with a special sauce based on Chinese soy sauce and chicken broth. The tangy flavor of Chinese black vinegar and the numbing kick of Sichuan peppercorns create a lingering, addictive taste—just as the name suggests, it's so delicious it makes your mouth water. We also recommend dipping dumplings or shumai into the leftover sauce.

'Saliva Chicken' 580 yen (638 yen including tax)

Bangbangji 580 yen (638 yen including tax)

Bangbangji (Spicy Sesame Chicken)

Tender chicken breast is generously coated with a house-made sauce rich with deep, aromatic sesame flavor. The rich sesame aroma and the umami of the chicken blend perfectly, making this dish ideal as an appetizer or a drink accompaniment.

Panko Shrimp with Mayonnaise

Plump shrimp, coated in a uniquely formulated crispy batter, are generously covered with a smooth, rich special mayonnaise sauce. Enjoy the perfect harmony of the light, crispy coating, the springy shrimp, and the rich, creamy sauce.

Panko Shrimp with Mayonnaise 480 yen (528 yen including tax)

'Homemade Char Siu' 680 yen (748 yen including tax)

Homemade Char Siu

Our house-made char siu is prepared in-store in limited quantities. Carefully marinated over time, it brings out a moist, tender texture and the rich umami of the pork. The deep, complex flavor that unfolds with each bite pairs exceptionally well with drinks.
