Series

Series’ lunch tasting menu is a 16-course procession that shows just how elegant modern Chinese cuisine can be. From the opening century egg tofu through a disciplined parade of dumplings, noodles, and mains, each course lands with intention and restraint. Highlights are unmistakable: the Yamagata beef sirloin is luxuriously tender with a clean, spicy edge, while the foie gras–stuffed chicken wing delivers richness without tipping into excess. Across the full menu: cabbage and shrimp dumplings, Shanghai crab soup dumpling, XO-laced greens, venison with black pepper, shark’s fin pot rice, and dan dan noodles—the kitchen keeps flavors precise and pacing immaculate. Dessert closes gently with almond jelly and citrus and an oolong tea pound cake that feels calm and considered. Sixteen items, no weak links. Ambitious, polished, and deeply satisfying—especially for lunch. Five stars.

A refined experience at Series, a Michelin-recognised Chinese restaurant in Tokyo. The tasting menu features a generous number of small portions, allowing diners to enjoy a variety of flavours without feeling overwhelmed. I particularly appreciated the wine pairing approach, with smaller pours and a broader selection, which complemented the meal’s progression nicely. The dishes themselves were well-cooked, balanced, and delicious throughout. One minor area for improvement: we did feel a bit rushed between courses, which slightly detracted from the overall experience. Otherwise, a solid choice for those looking to explore Chinese cuisine with a thoughtful, modern touch in Tokyo.

A super good Michelin experience with a lot of dishes for a good price! We enjoyed every dish and they where beautifully plated.

Very good 1* Michelin restaurant specialized in Cantonese food in a quiet, relaxing environment. My favorites were the snow crab, chicken wing and fried rice, though everything we had was tasty. The price was decent for the quality and quantity (26 courses in total).

This restaurant definitely deserves its Michelin One Star rating. The price for a 26 course Chinese Japanese dinner is extremely reasonable! You do need to make reservations beforehand. I definitely can feel this is a restaurant where they are using amazing local Japanese ingredients cooked with Chinese flavors. The dishes are definitely emphasizing the delicate Japanese sensibilities in terms of their palate. The standout dishes were the foie gras chicken wing, dan dan sesame soup noodles and chili shrimp with milk bread. The menu changes due to seasonlity. My only regret was that I did not get the alcohol pairing. Note that I went during October for their beginning of winter or in Mandarin 立冬(li4dong1). Please go visit them to help maintain their Michelin rating.

Modern Chinese with numerous dishes. Food was delicious and delicate. The pairing course was slightly overwhelming but a very fun experience. Must arrive on time!

This is the second time I have visited the shop. It is still as good as the first time. The Japanese take on Chinese food is definitely nice. I would recommmend and come back. Good value.

Had a fabulous dinner and would definitely recommend. We came for the dinner course, 26 different items and each was more delicious than the other. Service is fast and very kind and attentive. They even accompanied a few asks such as when we requested that one of the items (horse meat tartare) be changed to something else (got a delicious pork dish instead). We didn’t do the alcohol pairing option, but sitting close to the bar had a chance to watch each drink being prepared and will probably go for that the next time we visit. The menu changes every couple of months so we definitely plan to visit again soon. Sorry didn’t take pictures of the food, was too busy enjoying each dish and left the photography up to the wives, but let me add the menu as reference for all the wonderful dishes we ate.
