The Top 86 Places to Eat Near Creative Japanese Restaurant & Bar


  1. Rank 2. Wu Zi Mian Guan

    Hangzhou-style Noodles







  2. Rank 8. Shuiyang

    Zhejiang










  3. Rank 17. Ru Yuan

    Hangban Cai

    Ru Yuan sits inside the Hangzhou Botanical Garden, its floor-to-ceiling windows pulling the trees and stillness directly into the dining room. This is refined Zhejiang tasting-menu territory, the kind where dim lighting and low seating signal that the food is doing the talking. The chef's project is revival, not reinvention, bringing patience to heritage recipes that shortcuts had flattened elsewhere. Two Michelin stars and a spot on Asia's 50 Best at number ten.


  4. A fine dining room inside a resort hotel, set within a bamboo grove and built around the idea that Jiangnan cuisine carries an emotional charge, not just a flavor profile. The kitchen works with seasonal regional ingredients and traditional techniques, nudging them just far enough that the food feels familiar and slightly surprising at once. Thirteen private suites handle the banquet crowd. It holds two Michelin stars.
