Time Out says

If you’re craving authentic Taiwanese street food, visit Also, the sister shop to Fuji Communication in Kagurazaka, which specialises in wonton dumplings. You can’t miss the traditional Taiwanese-style building with its iron lattice window decorations.

The classic lu rou fan (braised pork over a bowl of rice, ¥700), large crispy fried chicken (¥700) and chicken over rice (¥700) are solid choices, but the Taiwanese-style wontons are the star of this restaurant. Each plate includes four juicy dumplings, which come in five flavours including pork (¥550), shrimp (¥650), scallop (¥650), mixed vegetables (¥590) and mushroom (¥590). Come here for lunch on a weekday and you can get those wontons in a set including your choice of noodles or a bowl of meat over rice (from ¥950).

The drink selection here is superb, stocked with five different natural wines, Taiwanese beers and even craft beers on tap. We recommend trying the Original Wonton Hazy craft beer made by Kanpai Brewing – it’s a lighter beer apparently made from wonton wrappers, making it a perfect compliment for the dumplings.
