Tokyo: Where to Eat: Global Cuisine: Sense

Sense

It does indeed make “sense” to pick a Hong Kong–owned hotel chain if you’re in the mood for Cantonese food. Tokyoites, regular visitors to Hong Kong, know their Chinese food well, so the chef does not have to pander much to local tastes. Among the specials are sautéed prawns, scallops, giant clam and vegetables with crab meat sauce, roast duck served in three different styles and pan-fried scallops with seafood relish. The restaurant has a stunning view and an adjacent tearoom for sampling and appreciating various blends. Dim sum is served but, this being Tokyo, without the Hong Kong–style background din.
