About this place
The first thing to catch the eye at Mintei is its vivid red fried rice. Diners describe it as more than a striking-looking dish: they also note its balanced seasoning, savoury flavour and approachable, neighbourhood Chinese-style character. Some reports mention finely chopped chashu pork, too. The rice’s vivid colour makes the first impression, then its flavour takes centre stage.
Order a full portion of fried rice to focus on the dish, or pair a half portion with half a bowl of ramen. Some diners have found the half fried rice more filling than expected, making the combination a good way to try two familiar favourites at once. One review described the ramen broth as rich with chicken and pork stock. With the red fried rice alongside, the meal moves between noodles and rice in each bite.
The noodle menu ranges from ramen to tanmen, wonton ramen, Hokkai miso ramen and Mintei tantanmen. There are also options such as gomoku tofu set meal, fried rice and half fried rice, offering several ways to put together a meal.
Dine in or order takeaway. Payment is cash only.
