Any recommended eats in Yokohama Chinatown area? Don't wish to go for the traditional Chinese food that you can find locally but more of a Japanese fusion or blend.

Any recommendations for Kobe beef in Tokyo? I had Mouriya Honten (A5) in Kobe before with my friend but this time round heading to Tokyo with hubby and he wants to try.

Not worth the time and effort for me to travel all the way to Kobe, so I'm looking for one in Tokyo.

Thanks in advance!

say for jingisukan, crab, ramen, soup curry any places to suggest, please?

Jingisukan - it's actually BBQ lamb. Not sure if you take mutton. Most popular chain is Daruma.

Crab - there's a Michelin-starred restaurant Katsukani no Hanasaki specializing in crab kaiseki. Kano Honke is a more affordable place. There's more in the article below.

Ramen - search through Google for Sapporo-style miso ramen.

Soup curry - Samurai or Garaku. There's more.

I tried this 3 years ago when I went kobe, walk in lunch time no need res.

http://misono.org/en/shop/kobe/

the food is good, staff friendly (suggested to me to hold my raw meat while he use my camera to take my pic)

nice environment, but note, not that cheap to visit here. affordable but not cheap.

Was considering this as they have a few outlets but unsure if walk in will be able to get seats. Thanks for the suggestion

Wanted to go to plaisir but somehow it wasn't opened.

Ended up going to ishida which is average on tablelog. Decent A5 beef though and surprised there was a queue. Had to wait more than 20 mins. 8,500 yen for 130g of A5.
