Tabelog ratingTosenkaku Toukyou (桃仙閣 東京) brings a high-end, modern Chinese experience to Roppongi, led by a chef with a background in Michelin-starred kitchens. The restaurant's concept is built around an à la carte menu of small, refined portions, allowing diners to order items like dim sum by the piece and construct a varied meal. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for special occasions and for those wanting to sample a wide range of flavours.
Guests consistently praise the signature dishes. The Beijing duck is a frequent highlight, as are the seasonal items featuring Shanghai crab, such as rich xiaolongbao and ankake fried rice. The dim sum is noted for its refinement, and even the spring rolls receive special mention for creative variations like porcini mushroom. The service is often described as attentive, with staff proactively dividing dishes into individual portions for each guest. The experience is complemented by a broad list of wines and Shaoxing rice wines.
While the quality is high, diners should be aware that Tosenkaku Toukyou is expensive. The small-portion pricing model means the final bill can climb quickly, especially when adding drinks. A minority of reviewers have reported occasional issues, including slow service, incorrect orders, or popular dishes being sold out. One guest also noted a billing discrepancy, so it's wise to check your receipt.
Dinner typically costs between ¥15,000 and ¥19,999 per person, though many report spending more with wine. For context, reviewers recently paid around ¥1,980–¥2,068 for a single Beijing duck roll, ¥1,080 for one Shanghai-crab xiaolongbao, and ¥4,280 for the Shanghai-crab ankake fried rice. It offers good value for a celebratory meal, but is not a budget-friendly option.
