In 1859, Yokohama was a bustling
city poised at the gates of a nation recently opened to the outside
world. Yokohama's harbor teemed with newly arrived foreign ships,
and the smoke from Japan's first steam engine trains billowed over
the city skyline.
It was in 1884, more than 130 years ago, that the first Heichinrou
Restaurant opened its doors in Yokohama, in the city's Chinatown.
Today, Heichinrou is Japan's oldest and most loved Chinese
restaurant. Superior service to generations of customers has earned
Heichinrou restaurants nationwide a loyal clientele.
Yokohama and the lives of its citizens have changed greatly over the
years. At Heichinrou, however, the care and pride that our original
Yokohama restaurant put into serving each of its customers remains
the same.
We prepare every meal with only the freshest, highest-quality
ingredients available. Our chefs employ skills and knowledge handed
down from master to apprentice to create the finest in authentic
Cantonese cuisine.
"The finest food, the warmest service, and the best
restaurant." This has been our motto since the day we opened.
And we continue to proclaim and to uphold that motto every day.
