Founded in 1988, Saikoh Shinkan is one of the most established names in Yokohama Chinatown. With five floors and about 400 seats, this large-scale restaurant offers authentic Cantonese cuisine and top-quality dim sum.
Cantonese cuisine, one of China’s four great culinary traditions, is known for making the most of fresh ingredients from land and sea with light, delicate seasoning. Here, the flavors carry on the legacy of the founders, a couple from Guangdong. Popular options include the Seihou Lunch, a colorful afternoon-tea-style set that lets you enjoy small portions of a variety of dishes-particularly popular among women-as well as luxurious courses featuring premium ingredients like shark fin and abalone. Saikoh Shinkan is also credited with introducing yum cha culture to Yokohama, with over 40 kinds of dim sum handmade daily by master chefs invited from Hong Kong.
The atmosphere varies by floor: a dim sum floor where you can watch chefs at work, restaurant floors with tables and round banquet seating, and a wide range of private rooms that can accommodate groups from 5 to 90 guests. With its popularity, especially at lunchtime when queues are common, advance reservations are highly recommended.
