MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Owner-chef Ouchi takes a freewheeling approach to interpreting Chinese cuisine. The Uni Yuba appetiser is a speciality of uni marinated in Shaoxing wine and served on a yuba mousse. The popular Mao Zedong spareribs and black fried rice are essentials for the ‘secret menu’. The name, using characters for ‘play’ (‘yuu’) and ‘monkey’ (‘en’), refers to the kitchen as ‘a playground born in the Year of the Monkey’. It is also a play on Chef Ouchi’s desire to establish a connection (en) with you (yuu).
