The grande dame of Yokohama Chinatown, founded in 1892 and still the district's most famous Cantonese restaurant (a Tabelog 'Chinese EAST 100' selection for 2026), serving refined banquet courses and seasonal dim sum in formal dining rooms. It is an occasion restaurant — dinner runs to the top price band — and publishes no halal or vegetarian certification, so diners with restrictions should call ahead about specific dishes and dashi/stock bases rather than assume accommodation. Closed Mondays.

FAQ

Is Manchinro Honten halal or vegetarian-friendly?
No — it doesn't carry halal or vegetarian certification, and shark fin, pork, and traditional Cantonese stocks run through much of the menu. Diners keeping to a specific diet should call ahead about individual courses.
Do I need a reservation at Manchinro Honten?
Reservations are strongly recommended for dinner and essential for private rooms (minimum six guests). The phone line takes bookings in Japanese only, and there's no published English menu.

Vegetarian mapo tofu and meat-free dumplings alongside a Taiwanese menu

A small, friendly Taiwanese restaurant on the edge of Yokohama Chinatown serving an everyday menu with a genuine set of plant-based choices — vegetarian mapo tofu, meat-free dumplings and vegetable dishes — and English is spoken, which is rare for the area. A full vegetarian course needs a reservation, though à-la-carte vegetarian dishes do not. As with all Chinese kitchens, confirm whether items use chicken stock, oyster sauce or egg if you are strictly vegan.
