Well this was a surprise!  My wife and I walked down to Kenritsudaigaku station to try out a new restaurant and we picked an unassuming local Chinese restaurant named Eriyu.  We expected nothing special, and we ordered some typical items off of the all Japanese menu.

We were really impressed!  All the items we ordered were unusually flavorful, and the stir fried meat and veg had a lovely charred flavor to it.

This is why I keep trying places even though they look like the same old, same old...you never know what you'll find!
