Reviews Summary
Kyokaen offers a taste of authentic Chinese cuisine with some standout dishes like the Champon noodles and sweet and sour pork, often praised for looking just like their menu pictures. However, some diners found the service lacking and the food to be bland or not to their liking, leading to a mixed dining experience. Despite these criticisms, many appreciate the fair prices and quick service for a satisfying meal in Nagasaki's Chinatown.
"This was my first time trying champon and it didn’t disappoint. The noodles were firm and chewy and the toppings generous. Bean sprouts, Chinese cabbage, shallots and tree fungus along with pork, kamaboko and baby squid made for a filling meal. But best of all was the soup: made of chicken and pork bone broth, it was rich and mellow with just the right amount of saltiness. All in all, as perfect a bowl of noodles as I’ve ever had.
The service was prompt and attentive.
If you’re going to initiate yourself to champon, this is definitely the place to start."

"The thing you need to remember about Chinatown in Nagasaki is that they don't stay open very late. It was a bit late in the day and we wanted to try dining here since it was close to our hotel. Many of the restaurants were already full (and weren't taking any more parties) So we were kinda lucky that this restaurant let us wait for an open table. Last call was 7:30pm and they close at 8:30pm.
Chinese Restaurant Kyokaen 京華園 is fairly large and reminds me a bit of how Chinese restaurants were like in Vancouver back in the 70s.
We ordered a bunch of dishes. They are on the small size but most dishes were only about 1000-1500yen.
We ordered the corn soup, braised Chinese vegetables (which were tiny), sautéed shredded pork with green pepper, and Sara udon special with thin noodles (it was sweeter and with more varied ingredients than the Sara udon we had previously at champon358 but i think I preferred the one we had at champon358 because it had more crispy noodles). We also had the sautéed shrimp and
iced almond bean curd dessert (which I haven't seen in Chinese restaurants for years).
Overall, the food was pretty good although somewhat touristy. Dinner came out to about 7600 yen (for 4 people)."

"First of all the service was compared to every other place in Japan very bad. I didn't fehlt welcome at all. Besides that the chinese food was not good. No flavor or spice at all. I can't recommend this Restaurant"
