Planning Your Visit
Manzan operates Thursday through Monday, and on public holidays, the day before, and the day after public holidays, from 17:00 to 22:00, with a last arrival time of 20:00. It is closed Tuesday and Wednesday, and may close on irregular additional days. The restaurant is reservation-only; walk-ins are not accommodated. The reservation policy includes specific conditions worth noting before booking: the kitchen cannot accommodate guests who dislike spring onions (green onions), and the cooking is built around Sichuan spice levels. Those with spice sensitivity should flag this at arrival, as only a limited number of dishes may be adjustable. Allergy and dietary information for all guests in a party should be included in the reservation request at the time of booking.
Dinner averages JPY 10,000–14,999 per person. A seating charge of JPY 600 per person (tax included) applies, transitioning from November 1st to a service charge of 10% with no separate seating fee. The restaurant accepts major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, Diners, UnionPay) and QR code payment methods including PayPay, Rakuten Pay, au PAY, Alipay, and WeChat Pay; electronic money (IC card) is not accepted. Cancellation policy is strict: reductions in party size or cancellations on the day before or day of the reservation incur the full course price regardless of reason.
The drinks programme signals more care than is typical at this price point: the restaurant is noted for particular attention to both nihonshu (sake) and wine, alongside shochu. Children of elementary school age and above are welcome provided they can participate in the same course as adults; spiciness may be adjusted on request, though this is subject to availability. Guests wearing strong perfume are asked to refrain from visiting, a request that reflects the aromatic sensitivity of the Sichuan cooking style as much as general courtesy.enprimeurclub.enprimeurclub.

What's the best thing to order at Manzan?
Manzan's Tabelog listing categorises it under Sichuan, Chinese, and tantan-men (spicy noodle soup), which suggests the spicy noodle preparations are central to what the kitchen is known for. The restaurant itself notes it specialises in Sichuan cuisine and flags that guests sensitive to spice should inform staff on arrival, which points to heat-forward cooking as the house direction. No specific menu items are listed in the available record, so confirming individual dishes is best done at the time of reservation.
