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).
