About this place
Set along a street in Oyamadai, Setagaya, SO TIRED combines the easygoing atmosphere of a cafe with the flavors of full-fledged Chinese cooking. Stepping inside reveals a deep, calm dining room, with outdoor terrace seating also available for those who prefer dining in the open air.
The appetizers and dim sum make for an inviting start to any meal. Diners can spread a varied spread across the table, choosing from refreshing dried tofu salad, aromatic grilled lamb skewers, crisp fried spring rolls, siu mai dumplings, and potstickers.
Those looking for a substantial meal will find plenty among the mains, noodles, and rice dishes. Alongside standard favorites such as chili shrimp and mapo tofu, the menu features rich bowls of dan dan noodles and hot and sour noodle soup, as well as comforting seafood congee. Fried rice options span sweet corn, shrimp, and crab, making it easy to match whatever flavor profile you crave.
The beverage lineup rounds out the experience from mealtime through to dessert. Alongside draft beer, highballs, and wine, there is a dedicated selection of Chinese teas, including pu'er, Huang Jin Gui oolong, and blossoming art teas like Shuang Hua Xian Tao. Hand-drip coffee, cafe lattes, various cakes, sesame tangyuan, and almond tofu make it just as appealing to drop in simply for a cafe break.
