Shikairou Chinese Restaurant

Seafood noodles are their specialty. It was already past 1pm when we found them. It wasn't very popular, but we had to wait for more than half an hour before we were able to get a seat. The noodles were pretty good, and the side dishes were also delicious. The wait was worth it. It was not very popular, but Sihailou was actually a large independent building.

The driver picked us up at the train station and recommended this restaurant. You can trust the driver, especially when it comes to food. We ordered champagne and vermicelli, which was really delicious. The champagne was from Nagasaki, which is really recommended.

The Sihailou now feels like it's almost becoming a tourist attraction, with tour groups gathering at the door to take photos. Fortunately, most tourists don't go inside to dine. It's worthy of being an old restaurant while retaining the authentic Japanese classics and having made considerable innovations.

The originator of Chinese cuisine in Nagasaki, "Shikairo", is said to be the best in Nagasaki. The チャンポン of Shikairo stir-fries pork, shrimp, fish cakes, cabbage, etc., and then stews them on noodles to make delicious and tasty champon ramen, which is also a famous dish in the local Chinatown. It costs RMB 57 per bowl. I personally feel that these things are not worth the money. The cost performance is average.

Sihailou is a well-known ramen restaurant located next to the Catholic Church in downtown Nagasaki. It is open until 0:00 p.m. and an additional 10% night service charge is required for dining after 21:00. The main dishes in the restaurant are assorted soup noodles and dry noodles mixed with soup. They are all made with the kind of soup that is boiled into a thickened state, with vegetables, shrimps and other ingredients, and poured with noodles. The taste of this soup is really salty and thick, so the menu looks beautiful, but it is not so ideal when you actually eat it. It is recommended that you don’t drink too much soup, otherwise you will always want to drink water after eating at night. I ordered crisp noodles with soup, which is thicker food, soup poured on the noodles. The soup is hot, and the noodles are still crispy. They are mixed together. Because the taste is too salty, some are left unfinished. Fried dumplings can be dipped in soy sauce or spicy, and the taste is pretty good. The price of a serving is about 20 yuan, which is not expensive. Hot spring soft-boiled eggs are 6 yuan a month. I ate there in the evening, and the 10% service charge + 8% tax was not cheap either. It cost more than 70 yuan per person, so the price-performance ratio was average.

Ctrip's travel guide lists Sihailou as the first must-eat in Nagasaki. Unfortunately, you have to join a tour group when you get off the cruise ship, so it is impossible to have a nice meal at Sihailou. Fortunately, Sihailou is not far from the cruise terminal, so it was worth the trip to leave the group and come here to buy some things. I bought the most inconspicuous soy sauce here, but when I got home I saw that it said I had to put it in the refrigerator. The restaurant's signature dishes "Nagasaki Assorted Noodles" and "Sara Udon" sold in the freezer can only be viewed. The return trip lasts for 3 days, and even though there is a refrigerator in the room, I dare not bring it with me.
