There’s this little strip of area behind Blok M known as “Little Tokyo”. Word has it that they are the after-work hangout place for Japanese businessmen, and sports some dodgy nightclubs/KTV/brothel and pretty good authentic Japanese restaurant. Do correct me if I am biased here – actually never mind, I am biased – but what goes hand in hand with Japanese businessmen?
Prostitution is the answer.
And good food, of course.
Yumeya is such a hidden gem! Anyone into good beef and good sashimi should visit this restaurant. Their beef are, surprise surprise, US beef. Their sashimi is flown from Tokyo’s Tsukiji market. Extra points!
Dinner wasn’t cheap.
I’m seriously going to be broke very soon. Damn you seductive meat! Will be coming again once I have a proper income.
For more information about Blok M’s prostitution area, click here. Stay safe, stay away from the girls. But do check out the area after 11pm, it’s quite interesting to see how almost all the male walking around in suits are Japanese looking for some conditional love. If I ever catch my Jap man doing anything that remotely resembles cheating with a prozzie, I will have his balls for yakiniku. Watch out!

It looks wonderful!
Blowing all your money on seductive meat in this district sounds a little more fun than you really meant though haha!
Thanks 😉
Well the price looks authentic…as does the nighttime atmosphere
Actually, I used to traipse down to that hood to visit Kamome and the other Japanese supermarket (can’t recall the name); on the 2nd floor of the latter, I had decent ramen.
Also, there used to be an Air Asia office in that part of town, but it may not be there these days (this was five years ago).
Kamome went bankrupt! The other one is called Papaya, and it’s still there. Did you use to live here or just came for a holiday? I’ll check out the ramen then 🙂
Lima tahun lalu saya mengejar bahasa inggris dekat Le Meridien. Saya juga suka pergi ke Matahari di bawah Blok M karena t-shirt yang jual di sana punya bahasa inggris aneh mengedepankan.
Can you find rumah makan Indonesia in Beijing?
Wah bisa bahasa Indonesia juga 🙂 You probably know more about Indo than I do, haven’t lived here for 8 years now.
I don’t generally eat Indo food out of Indo because I’m cheap and it’s probably not worth it haha. But if you’re in Beijing, get to Beijing Language Culture University （语言大学) in Wudaokou (五道口）and go to the student hall. Some Indo guy is making a business selling Sop Buntut there. It’s pretty decent for about 35RMB, 3.5 years ago. I heard it’s still there 🙂
