Long Xiang
A moment to unwind in the city.
Located in Umezu, Ukyo Ward, Long Xiang (龍香) delivers the reliable comforts of a classic Japanese neighborhood Chinese diner, from sweet-and-sour pork set meals and ramen-gyoza combos to cold poached pork belly with garlic sauce.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
When dropping by with an appetite around lunchtime, the sweet-and-sour pork that leads the teishoku set list is an easy first choice. Long Xiang’s sweet-and-sour pork set features bite-sized morsels of pork fried crisp on the outside and coated in a glossy sauce balancing sweetness and gentle acidity, making bowl after bowl of rice disappear effortlessly. Onions, carrots, and green bell peppers retain a satisfying crunch, while a regular bowl of rice, soup, and a small side dish round out a generous tray.
Alongside the set meals, the pan-fried gyoza are well worth ordering. The "A Set" brings together these vegetable-packed dumplings, steamed white rice, and a bowl of ramen—a quintessential combination for anyone seeking straightforward, hearty neighborhood Chinese fare. Flexibility is another draw: you can adapt to your appetite with a half-chahan set pairing ramen with a small portion of fried rice, or opt for the B or C sets that incorporate crisp fried chicken.
Come evening, the extensive à la carte lineup pairs naturally with an alcoholic beverage. Sliced pork loin and crisp cucumber dressed in a punchy garlic sauce—known as unpairow (yunbai rou)—is often recommended as a starter alongside cold draft beer. Substantial pork-based dishes such as pepper steak (chinjaorosu) and spicy stir-fries can also be ordered in smaller portions, making it easy to sample several items across the table.
Seating includes standard tables alongside tatami-matted zashiki spaces, accommodating both quick solo lunches and relaxed dinners with friends or family. Transitioning from daytime set meals to an evening spread of ramen and shared plates, it remains an adaptable local fixture.
