Yokohama for foodies

Best restaurants

Yokohama eats late, eats across borders, and rewards anyone willing to walk a few blocks past the obvious. This list leans toward kitchens that have a clear point of view. There is Chinese cooking in 山下町, where one dining room serves noodles until 02:00 at weekends, and Italian cooking takes two forms: a two-service dining room in 太田町 and a cluster of tables in 石川町. Japanese cooking ranges from fine dining to tempura counters, and there is a beef bowl that earns a fine-dining listing too. Some of these are for a long, deliberate dinner; others are for the moment when the bars close and you need something hot. None are here because a tour bus stops outside. We checked every address, hour, and phone number against the public record so you can plan a day around them rather than hope. Read the hours closely: several of these kitchens close between lunch and dinner, and a few shut on Mondays.
