About this place
Whether you are looking for a substantial lunch or a comforting dinner, Shinhorikawa delivers with generous combinations of noodles, stir-fries, and fragrant yakimeshi (fried rice). Among the most popular options are the set meals pairing fried rice with crispy sara udon smothered in a gentle, savory sauce, or a hearty bowl of champon packed with deep, simmered flavors. Prepared simply with egg and green onion, the fried rice keeps a modest seasoning that makes it easy to alternate spoonfuls with the thick, rich noodles. Diners can also opt for set menus that team fried rice and egg drop soup with standout mainstays like sweet-and-sour pork, liver and garlic chives, or crisp fried chicken, tailoring the plate to the day's cravings.
For those who prefer a solid serving of steamed white rice alongside their mains, the restaurant's bento boxes and lunch specials are just as rewarding. The signature Horikawa Bento features thinly sliced pork stir-fried with crisp bell peppers, paired with well-seasoned fried chicken, hot miso soup, and plenty of rice. Midday visitors can also look to lunch combinations such as the Lunch A, which brings together sweet-and-sour pork and shrimp tempura, or Lunch B, uniting fluffy crab omelet with fried chicken—letting you enjoy two classic Chinese diner staples on a single tray.
Casual staples round out the expansive menu, including piping-hot tenshindon under a thick sheen of sauce, hearty pork stamina rice bowls, and blistered pan-fried gyoza to accompany a cold beer. With spacious table seating and traditional tatami-floored areas, the dining room accommodates solo eaters dropped in for a quick bite just as comfortably as families or groups settling in for a meal. A few parking spaces sit directly in front of the shop, and payment is cash only.
