Tabelog ratingChinese Hanten Roppongi ten (中国飯店 六本木店) is a cornerstone of Tokyo's high-end Chinese dining scene, a polished, old-school restaurant in Nishiazabu celebrated for its authentic Shanghai cuisine. It has built its formidable reputation on two signature dishes: Beijing duck and fukahire (shark's fin) soup.
Guests consistently praise the Beijing duck, often carved tableside, for its perfectly crispy skin and succulent meat. The rich, deeply savoury fukahire soup is another highlight that draws regulars back. Beyond the headliners, the kitchen delivers a strong menu of classics, including seasonal Shanghai crab, sweet and sour pork with black vinegar (subuta), and well-regarded dim sum like large xiaolongbao. The elegant dining room makes it a popular choice for anniversaries, business dinners, and other special occasions.
While service is generally attentive, some diners note it can slow down during peak hours. A few guests have also mentioned that English proficiency among staff can vary. It's a minor point in an otherwise seamless experience. For dinner, reviewers report spending between ¥15,000 and ¥20,000 per person, with a recent mention of the 'Shion' course at around ¥18,000. Lunch is considered excellent value, with sets like chicken and cashew nuts available for about ¥1,400 and specialty dishes like fukahire noodles for around ¥3,000.
