On April 15, 2021 (Friday), I had the dish of grilled dumplings for ¥430 (tax included) at this place. You can choose whether you want garlic in the dumplings or not. The dumplings with garlic have a strong garlic and chive flavor, while the ones without garlic do not contain chives, so you can enjoy them without worrying about the smell! They also have a lemon sour with a focus on highball whiskey for ¥390 (tax included). I recommend the grilled dumplings with shiso that I had on February 24, 2021 (Wednesday) for ¥470 (tax included). The combination of dumplings and green shiso is excellent. You can also choose whether you want garlic in the grilled dumplings for ¥430 (tax included). The seafood mentaiko spaghetti with a Japanese twist is also recommended for ¥670 (tax included).

On February 24, 2021 (Wednesday), I had the dish of Grilled Shiso Gyoza for ¥470 (tax included). The combination of gyoza and shiso is excellent. Grilled Gyoza for ¥430 (tax included) comes with the option of garlic or no garlic. The gyoza with garlic has a strong flavor of garlic and chives, while the gyoza without garlic does not contain chives so you can enjoy it without worrying about the smell. Japanese-style Spicy Cod Roe Pasta for ¥670 (tax included) is a seafood cod roe mayo spaghetti. Highly recommended: Grilled Shiso Gyoza.

The restaurant is located about a 2-3 minute walk southwest from Exit 7 of Nagahoribashi Station. Inside, there are five 4-person tables and one 6-person table. We started with a toast of draft beer. Let's try the gyoza. The garlic gyoza (2 servings) has a great combination of skin texture, meat filling, and garlic flavor, which goes well with beer. The negi (green onion) gyoza (2 servings) has green onions on top and is seasoned with ponzu sauce for a refreshing taste. So, we ordered another round of draft beer and also tried plain chu-hai and highball. After enjoying the gyoza, we added three more dishes. The seseri (chicken neck) with ponzu sauce offers a refreshing taste. The salt-grilled shrimp has a firm texture and a deliciously fragrant taste. The fried chicken is simple yet a great accompaniment. With a variety of menu options for both gyoza and side dishes, I look forward to visiting again for more food and drinks. Thank you for the meal.

Before meeting up, I stopped by for a quick drink~ The combination of gyoza and bottled beer is the best on a hot day! Can't get any better than this (laughs) It's great to have crispy gyoza in bite-sized portions! With a wide variety of menu options, you never get tired of coming here.

Meat Suckers

Just had a chu-hi.

Wandering around the streets of Minami-Horie in the middle of the night~♫ I was looking for a place where I could have some snacks and drinks, and stumbled upon "Chibisuke" at the end of the Hankyu Higashi-dori Shotengai in Umeda! I love their mini gyoza♫ These bite-sized gyoza go perfectly with beer and bring instant happiness~♫ I remembered they also have all-you-can-eat courses for 2000 yen and 2300 yen, which reminded me of the time I almost burst my stomach eating the course with friends almost 15 years ago. Nostalgically, I entered the restaurant~♫ The place only has tables, with quite old tables lined up closely. Even though it was around midnight, the place was almost full☆ and the phone kept ringing non-stop (they receive a lot of delivery orders!). It's lively and that's a good thing♫ But maybe they could tidy up the place a bit more to make it look cleaner~ Now, I ordered a bottle of Malt beer for 600 yen and a bottle of Asahi beer for 600 yen♫ I chugged them down and compared the taste♫ Malt beer is good if you like bottled beer♫ but I prefer Asahi ❤︎ For food, I ordered: - Shrimp Gyoza (400 yen): A popular gyoza with plump shrimp inside♫ I always order this when I come here♫ The texture is already delicious❤︎ - Mini Gyoza (390 yen): Their signature gyoza♫ Two gyoza and half a beer can disappear easily with these♫ You can also ask for no garlic. - Mentaiko Omelette (530 yen): It's more like an omelette containing mentaiko rather than wrapped in it. It's tasty if you don't mind the appearance♫ - Teppanyaki Tareyaki (580 yen): Surprisingly, this is really good♫ The crispy texture of the sauce and the fat of the teppanyaki make me love it❤︎ - Spicy Miso Tofu - Goya Champuru (630 yen): I always order this, and I love that they cook the egg just right♫ The strong flavor makes it easy to keep drinking♫ - Flavored Karaage (630 yen): Delicious karaage that you can eat as it is♫ A classic dish♫ The charm of this place lies in its casual and friendly atmosphere, making it easy to visit with friends. Plus, the fact that they are open until 5 am is a big draw♫ Thanks for the meal~♫

After 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, it becomes difficult to find a place to eat in Shinsaibashi. So, I stumbled upon a restaurant that seemed to offer a variety of affordable set meals centered around gyoza. The restaurant was not very welcoming, with boxes of vegetables in the customer walkway and the toilet door left open. However, I decided to go in and ordered the most popular set meal which included mini gyoza (12 pieces), along with some fried chicken, french fries, potato salad, and shredded cabbage. The set also came with a minced meat bowl, soup with dumplings, and a drink, all for only 670 yen! The food was decent overall, with the gyoza being easy to eat and the soup having a nice touch with shredded kelp. The minced meat bowl was a bit bland, but when combined with the gyoza, it added some flavor to the rice. In conclusion, the restaurant offers decent food at a reasonable price, making it a good option for a filling meal, especially after 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Happy birthday!!! We all gathered at this restaurant to celebrate. It's been a while since I had gyoza, and they were offering all-you-can-eat and drink for 2000 yen that day, which was amazing. We found a great deal! Since we are a group that loves to drink, the all-you-can-drink option was perfect for us. The food options were great too, with salads, karaage, edamame, and various types of gyoza like plain, shrimp-filled, Osaka-style with sauce, and even garlic-free and water gyoza. The small gyoza were so cute and delicious when dipped in vinegar soy sauce. The beer was flowing and the atmosphere was casual, perfect for a fun night out with friends. The all-you-can-drink menu had a variety of options from draft beer to highballs, making it a great deal. This place is not ideal for a first date, but perfect for a group looking to have a good time. We will definitely come back when we need an affordable option at the end of the month. Thank you for the great meal!

I took pictures of a salad, the famous dumplings at the restaurant, and even the tataki cucumber for my blog! The food was delicious as usual, and we drank a lot of alcohol for only 2000 yen! With this group, I think the restaurant might be losing money because we drank too much! It's not related to drinking too much, but for some reason, everyone kept teasing me about various things, so I couldn't sit still and ended up taking a picture of the menu on the wall before leaving. I think it's a really good and cheap restaurant, but I'm worried if they're making a profit. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a late-night gyoza restaurant. Even though it wasn't really late at night, we had dinner and then went to a bar for adults. After that, my senior said, "Let's go see more!" and we tried to go to Takotako King, but it was full. It was Saturday night, so it's understandable. My senior found another restaurant, which was Chibisuke. I've heard of it before, it's in the building in front of Zara in Shinsaibashi. I haven't had Chibisuke's gyoza recently, and I thought they wouldn't serve gyoza at this time, around 1 a.m. But of course, the gyoza arrived. They also served Takosan wiener and fried potatoes, which had a rich flavor and were surprisingly delicious. I managed to eat quite a bit. We spent about an hour here, chatting and enjoying our drinks. The Takosan gyoza was tossed in ketchup and had a crispy texture, which was tasty.

I went to a restaurant that I had been thinking of visiting someday. Last Saturday, after finishing work, preparing for the wine event the next day, finishing the set for the next day, and having dinner. It was gyoza, a long time since I had it. Gyoza place in Hofucho. I ordered two servings of gyoza and a draft beer. This place had a lot of menu options, more than a typical izakaya. It was a lively restaurant. Next to me were two hostesses. One of them received a call from the mama, and the conversation seemed tense. The hostess seemed to have done something wrong and the mama got angry after the call ended. There was a mysterious charm about the tension between the hostess and the mama. Even though there was still a lot of food left, the tension seemed to escalate as they kept drinking more. They left without finishing everything, even though it wouldn't have been too late, and this place seemed nice. Maybe it was the momentum, the momentum was scary. I wondered if they would be closed tomorrow, this place must be busy even at this hour. I had a feeling that I would visit this place someday, and tonight was the night. And then, the second place I had been thinking of visiting someday, a place where I ordered bottled beer, and kimchi was all-you-can-eat. I also ordered vegetable stir-fry, fried rice, and garlic ramen. The ramen had a grated garlic flavor. And I ordered pig's feet. It was delicious. I asked the staff about the pig's feet and they showed me the ones in the fridge. I asked if they would warm it up, and they said yes. But when it came, it was cold. I asked again, and this time they heated it properly. It was warm this time. I was tired and just focused on the taste of the pig's feet. It was good. This pig's feet (700 yen) was delicious. This place was also one that I had thought of visiting someday. There are many restaurants I see and think of visiting someday, but I often can't make it. So, when I'm wondering where to go, I just decide and go. There are hits and misses, but that's how it is.

Late at night, the place is bustling and the cozy atmosphere of the small interior adds to the mood for enjoying some dumplings. It's a great choice for a casual date or dining alone! There are various types of dumplings to choose from, but the regular ones are recommended! Just be aware that smoking can be quite noticeable, so some tolerance may be necessary...

Lunch tickets that you can get one for each lunch meal... If you collect 5 of them, you get a free lunch! Isn't that amazing? You can also take the food to go, making it perfect for your lunch break around Shinsaibashi. The lunch menu is varied and delicious. For dinner, I recommend trying the grilled ramen - it's so good that sometimes I end up ordering it twice. Although it's a gyoza restaurant, they have a wide range of menu options beyond just gyoza, so you can enjoy it like a regular izakaya or teishoku restaurant. Just be aware that it tends to get crowded at night, which can be a bit of a hassle at times.

I usually ate before going out, so I classified it as a takeout. I'm not sure about the atmosphere of the store. I ordered octopus balls and shrimp mayo as you can see in the picture, and they were both topped with lots of mayonnaise. Lately, I often hear about the trend of super crispy takoyaki, but personally, I don't really like it. The takoyaki here was not the crispy type, so I enjoyed it. The shrimp mayo was delicious as always. I ate it eagerly with my friend. Looking at other reviews, it seems like a place where you can eat quickly with good value for money. I would like to visit again and try the dumplings next time. Thank you for the meal.
