#1. District 1, Le Thanh Ton Japanese Chinese Cuisine Chuuka Dining Nada Review

Chuuka Dining Nada, a Japanese Chinese Cuisine Restaurant, is located in Le Thanh Ton Japanese Town, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. Since the restaurant is on the second floor, it is not noticeable, so the Japanese owner is always eagerly soliciting customers at the entrance.

If you take the elevator up to the second floor, you will see a cute restaurant. There are kitchen and bar tables near the entrance to the restaurant, and there are a few tables inside. More than 90% of the guests here are Japanese, and it is rare to see Vietnamese locals or other foreigners.

On this day, I wanted to drink shochu and highball with Japanese-style Chinese food, so I ordered it. A glass of shochu called Akakirishima Imo, which is made from sweet potatoes and had a sweet aroma and taste that was quite appealing.

The first dish was Mabodofu Danburi(Mabo Tofu Rice Bowl). The mapo tofu rice bowl was served with a dark brown udon soup made with katsuobushi and tsuyu, which was quite nice.

The visual appearance of Japanese mapo tofu rice bowl is similar to that of China, but unlike Chinese mapo tofu, which has a strong spicy and spice flavor, it has little spicy taste and has a more sweet and salty taste. Although it is definitely different from Chinese Sichuan style, I was able to fully feel the charm of Japanese mapo tofu rice bowl.

For my second dish, I ordered Subuta(Sweet and Sour Pork). Unlike Chinese sweet and sour pork, it uses a ketchup-based sauce. It was quite good, with the texture of carrots, green peppers, and onions still intact, and the fluffy fried pork.
