Lohotoi is a Hong Kong Cantonese-style cuisine located inconveniently in the middle of Ebisu, Hiroo and Shirogane. I forgot to take a picture of the exterior/interior, but it seems like its been here for a while.
Considering that Chinese food (especially in the Shirogane/Hiroo area) is quite expensive, this place was very reasonable. We ordered a lot of what we saw on the Tabelog page and all of them exceeded my expecations. All of the flavors were elegant and refined. It was nice that they offered a small and large size. Everything pictured is a small size.
Crispy Skin Pork (Small) appetizer
皮付き豚カリカリ焼き
Vegetable Steamed Dumplings
野菜の蒸し餃子
This was so delicious! It mainly had mushrooms and bamboo and there were some other chopped veggies in there as well.
Shrimp & Chive Dumplings
エビとニラの焼き餃子
My fave! The shrimp here was really plump and sweet.
Shrimp Steamed Dumplings
エビの蒸し餃子
After having the veggie and shrimp/chive dumplings, we wanted more. Each piece is super small, probably about half the size of American dim sum. But the homemade skin was incredibly chewy and the ideal thinness, just perfect.
Eggplant with Ground Pork and Miso
魚香茄子
Similar to Mabo Eggplant, without the spice. A little salty, which was probably intentional to eat together with rice (although we didn't order any).
Yellow Chive & Bean Sprout Noodles
黄ニラともやしの麺
Everyone seemed to be ordering this noodle, and we understood why. Its very understated, especially the ingredients, but it just came together and had such a delicate flavor.
We finished off the meal with a refreshing homemade mango pudding and almond jelly.
