Shikiko Ueno-ten
A moment to unwind in the city.
Shikiko Ueno-ten in Ueno serves authentic Northeastern Chinese and Yanbian cuisine, from spiced lamb ribs and pork trotter skewers to sweet-and-sour guobaorou, grilled cold noodles, and handmade dim sum.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Downstairs in an Ueno commercial building, Shikiko Ueno-ten draws diners for spice-crusted skewers and the bold, sour-spicy flavors of Northeastern Chinese cooking. Skewers brought sizzling to the table include lamb rib cuts and patiently charred pig trotters that make easy companions for drinks. The Dongbei staple guobaorou—crisp slices of fried pork coated in a glossy sweet-and-sour glaze—delivers generous portions and a satisfying contrast between crunch and sauce.
Alongside hearty meat mains, the menu highlights Yanbian regional cold dishes and snacks rarely found elsewhere. Street-style grilled cold noodles, house-made blood sausage, and finely julienned vegetables tossed in chili-infused dressings showcase the distinctive character of the border region. Handmade beef buns bursting with savory juices and boiled dumplings stuffed with lamb and fresh coriander provide satisfying staples for those seeking a fuller meal.
During lunch hours, rotating weekday sets featuring mapo tofu or black vinegar sweet-and-sour pork make the restaurant a reliable neighborhood lunch stop. In the evening, private rooms and all-you-can-drink plans cater to gatherings over skewers and bubbling Sichuan hot pots. Operating without a break from 11:00 in the morning until 0:00 late at night, it offers a flexible table for both late dinners and spirited after-work gatherings.
