Toh-Ka-Lin

Authentic Cantonese cuisine in the heart of Tokyo
VERIFIED LUXURY

One of Tokyo’s oldest and most elegant Chinese fine dining restaurants, Toh-Ka-Lin has resided inside The Okura Tokyo for 50 years. The wood-filled dining room with peach-blossom-patterned panels specializes in exceptional Cantonese cuisine, a relatively uncommon fare in the city. It makes the restaurant a special luxury.

The expansive à la carte menu lists more than 400 dishes, which are served in traditional Cantonese style. A number of them, like Peking duck, are prepared next to your white-linen-topped table. But the menu covers everything from dim sum to bird’s nest soup to wagyu beef with pepper. The authentic fare and attentive service make Toh-Ka-Lin popular with locals and visitors alike.
