Don't underestimate it! The casual version of high-end Chinese cuisine, 168 Dim Sum

If you try to grab a bite at Shibuya Station after evening, most places are packed, and it can be quite a hassle unless you've made a reservation in advance. Amidst this, the restaurant floor at Shibuya Hikarie tends to be relatively quiet, and this 168 Dim Sum & Tea House always has a few empty seats. The decor and tableware don't give off a high-end restaurant vibe at all, the prices aren't steep, and while you might expect the taste to be just average, every dish you order is delicious. It has a B-grade gourmet feel, yet it's genuinely tasty as regular Chinese cuisine. Ah, I see. It turns out the parent company is 'Gosenbo', an authentic Chinese restaurant with locations in Roppongi and Ginza. So, I interpret this casual spot as prioritizing the food while cutting costs elsewhere. That's great.
