About this place
Wontons float in a steaming-hot soup, while the fried rice is cooked until fragrant. A short walk from Hatanodai Station on the Tokyu Line, 鵬龍 brings together the relaxed feel of a neighbourhood Chinese diner and a wide-ranging menu of Chinese dishes. Comfortable spacing between the tables makes room for everyday meals, from solo lunch stops to locals settling in for a drink in the evening.
For an everyday meal, the affordable set meals and combinations are an easy place to start. Service sets include five-ingredient wontons with fried rice, stir-fried egg and pork, and sweet-and-sour stir-fried prawns: hearty choices for a quick, filling meal. There is also a set pairing sweet-and-sour pork with wontons, and pan-fried gyoza with a generous filling can be added on the side.
The choices go well beyond set meals, with plenty of variety in both noodles and rice dishes. Rice options range from familiar fried rice and mapo tofu rice to the Chinese-style porridge dish 重綿池飯. For noodles, there is the spicy San ramen, かき野菜ラーメン and several kinds of tsukemen, offering different choices for the mood of the day. The menu also reaches beyond everyday fare, with more elaborate Chinese dishes such as braised shark fin, shark fin with crab, and the Sakura Bento, served with shark fin soup. That range gives diners options for both routine meals and something a little more special.
Payment by code-based services including PayPay and Rakuten Pay is available, and quick service helps keep a meal moving at a good pace. Almond tofu is one way to finish. 鵬龍 is a dependable neighbourhood spot for enjoying a full spread of Chinese dishes without formality.
