Gindaco Ventures into Chinese Cuisine with Gindaco Dim Sum Tavern

In an exciting move for food enthusiasts, Gindaco, a brand renowned for its takoyaki, is set to launch its new dining concept, Gindaco Dim Sum Tavern. The first location will open on July 13, 2026, near Kanda Station. Managed by Always Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hotland Holdings, Gindaco Dim Sum Tavern aims to offer an authentic dim sum and Chinese cuisine experience closely associated with Gindaco's popular bar offerings.

A New Culinary Adventure

Gindaco Dim Sum Tavern will embody the spirit of its predecessor, Gindaco Highball Tavern, merging the art of traditional Chinese cooking with the welcoming atmosphere that Gindaco is known for. The tavern is designed for casual dining, offering a menu that balances familiar Chinese dishes with the beloved Japanese takoyaki.

Handcrafted Delicacies

One of the standout offerings at Gindaco Dim Sum Tavern is the homemade Xiao Long Bao, made fresh daily. Each dumpling is crafted from a hand-rolled dough filled with a special meat mix and soup, providing an experience that highlights traditional craftsmanship. Priced at 780 yen (including tax), this dish reflects the same dedication to quality that Gindaco has brought to its takoyaki.

In addition to Xiao Long Bao, patrons can enjoy a variety of dishes such as Braised Pork Belly (Dongpo Rou), Spicy Chicken (You Da Li Ji), and Shrimp with Mayonnaise. Each dish has been thoughtfully developed to complement alcoholic beverages, making them perfect options for a night out with friends or colleagues.

A Comprehensive Menu

Gindaco Dim Sum Tavern prides itself on its diverse selection. The menu includes not just dim sum but also items like:

• - Stir-fried Liver and Chives: A savory dish that features fresh liver sautéed with chives and bean sprouts, marinated in a rich sauce for an elevated taste experience (580 yen including tax).
• - Dongpo Rou: Tender slices of braised pork belly cooked to perfection, offering a sweet and savory depth of flavor (680 yen including tax).
• - You Da Li Ji: A refreshing dish with chicken delicately prepared in a special sauce, sure to tantalize the tastebuds (580 yen including tax).
• - Takoyaki: Guests can still enjoy Gindaco's signature takoyaki, available at a price of 340 yen (including tax) for a set of three, ensuring the tradition continues even with this new culinary twist.

Unbeatable Accessibility

Located just a minute's walk from Kanda Station's south exit, Gindaco Dim Sum Tavern is perfectly situated for a quick lunch or post-work drinks. The vibrant red signage and lanterns beckon diners inside to experience the spectacle of chefs preparing dumplings by hand in an open kitchen environment, providing a live cooking experience that enhances the dining journey.
