Visited for lunch.  The maitre d’ welcomed me outside the restaurant anticipating my arrival cuz I had a booking.  A multi-course Cantonese fare at a cosy but elegant setting with a wonderful open kitchen.  The super-friendly head chef greets and serves you personally.  Wonderful service and kitchen team offering you a great dining experience.  Highly recommend.

This was a long-awaited visit as the reviews from the people around me were extremely high.
When I opened the door, I realized why.

First of all, the staff and chef are very kind.
It melts into the air and has a warm atmosphere.
And inside the store, the space is used luxuriously.
The counter is filled with a sense of solidity and luxury.
It doesn't give an overly ornate impression.
You can relax and relax.

And the most important thing is the food.
I was impressed from the first item.
I would like to recommend this to others.
The chef is a veteran who has honed his skills in the Chinese field for many years.
This is because the cuisine is prepared by people with a solid foundation.
It is said to be creative but delicious to the core.
Everything was really delicious.

And when we finally eat dessert,
Move your seat.
This kind of performance makes my heart flutter♡
There is also a lounge where you can enjoy dessert.
It was a nice and relaxing atmosphere.

I will definitely visit again ♡

It was very delicious Chinese food. It was Cantonese based and all of it was delicious, but the homemade XO sauce, shark fin, and lobster were especially delicious.
The theater-style atmosphere was also very nice.
However, the downside is that you can't smoke in front of the store, and the smoke comes into the store, which is bad for people with asthma.

7 minutes walk from Hiroo station!

I visited [Nishiazabu Shangu] store!

Its predecessor was the popular Chinese restaurant ``Seafood Meisai Komiya'' located along Stars and Stripes Street in Nishiazabu!

When we move to our current location in October 2021, we will also change our store name to [Nishiazabu Komiya]!

He has been working in this industry for over 40 years since he was appointed as the new head chef!
Legendary chef Hiroaki Arishima boasts a brilliant career!

Chef Arishima started his career at ``Minamien'' of ``Keio Plaza Hotel'' and continued his training at some of Tokyo's leading hotels, including ``Karin'' of ``All Nippon Airways Hotel.''

In 2007, he became the top Japanese sous chef at Heifun Terrace at The Peninsula Tokyo!
In 2012, he was awarded one Michelin star at Sense at Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, where he was appointed head chef!

After that, he launched the Cantonese restaurant ``Higashien'' in Paris and served as the head chef of the Chinese department of ``Aoyama Allamanda Garden'' in Gaienmae.In 2021, as the culmination of his 40th year, he opened [Nishiazabu Komiya]. I have been appointed as the executive chef!

The location is on the 2nd floor of a building about 7 minutes walk from Hiroo Station towards the Nishiazabu intersection!
The landmark is Kosa Park across the street.

The inside of the store has a very luxurious feel, with a total of 22 seats including 8 counter seats, private rooms, and a dessert lounge!

The main counter in particular has a very live feel, allowing you to enjoy Chef Arishima's cuisine with all five senses.

Chef Special・Chef Special・Desale

Chef Arishima never relies solely on high-quality ingredients, but takes a familiar composition and takes it to the next level with Chef Arishima's knowledge and flair!

In particular, an assortment of 3 types of meat: low-temperature highland red chicken, Mie Prefecture Matsusaka pork baked in a special oven, and fatty pork with black pepper, steamed for a total of 6 hours, and shark hi packed with the flavor of scallops. Les soup, water lily with a fun texture, Kuroge Wagyu beef loin, piping hot peanut oil, and shabu-shabu with a special sauce that combines Hong Kong, Japanese, and Western soy sauce with fish sauce were impressive!

After your meal, move to the dessert lounge for an elegant moment.

The pudding made by our exclusive pastry chef using Alphonso mango is made with mango liqueur for an adult and elegant finish!
For the tea and sweets, I had the caramel-flavored Taiwanese-style steamed castella, and overall I was very satisfied with the course.

The hospitality of Chef Arishima and the rest of the staff was wonderful and we had a very meaningful time!

If I have a chance, I would definitely like to visit again!

Thank you for the meal.

Japanese Review

Our wonderful chef will serve you a course that will impress you to your heart's content. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the sophisticated atmosphere and attentive service. The chef was awarded a star as head chef at Keio Plaza Hotel's ``Nangoku'' and Mandarin Oriental's ``Sense'' and was active on the front lines at five-star hotels and top domestic hotels, and he gave explanations with a smile on his face. is a very nice chef🧑‍🍳
On this day, I used a private room for my wife's birthday.
Apparently you can enjoy cooking entertainment at the counter too!

From the appetizers to the desserts, every dish was like a work of art, a perfect combination of the freshness of the ingredients and the chef's skill. The chef's service was truly professional and could be described as top-notch. In particular, the chef's recommended dish was exquisite, and I was impressed by its delicate flavor and beautiful presentation. The staff were also kind and provided warm service. thank you very much,

I was able to reimagine the food at St. Regis in Dubai, which was the most delicious ever.
I'll be visiting with my friends again. Thank you for the meal!
