The menu is extensive and the atmosphere is nostalgic. There is a counter and table seating in the back. For larger groups, the second floor is convenient. The crispy and chewy delicious gyoza is so good that we end up ordering more once it's gone. The comfortable atmosphere leads to lively conversations with friends, to the point where the owner has to remind us that it's time to leave. Thank you so much to the owner and staff as always.

Chiban, a popular spot for gyoza, is a place where you can enjoy eating a lot of dumplings with friends while having a lively conversation. Aside from the delicious gyoza, their other dishes are also tasty. They offer some spicy dishes, but they are not too spicy, so even children can enjoy them. The gyoza has a chewy skin and doesn't have a strong garlic chive smell, so you can eat a lot without worrying about it the next day. Chiban is a great place for delicious gyoza.

I had some gyoza. They were 5 pieces for 200 yen, and you had to order at least 10 pieces. Should I get 15 or 20 pieces? I also ordered a draft beer, 15 gyoza, and some cucumbers. It took about 10 minutes for the gyoza to cook. They provided chili oil and vinegar in small plates, and explained the sauce when the gyoza arrived. The dipping sauce had garlic in it, but I chose not to use it. The gyoza were bite-sized and crispy, typical of Osaka style. I enjoyed my meal of beer, gyoza, and cucumbers. About halfway through, I ordered 10 more pieces. I should have just ordered 20 from the beginning, as it was tough to finish the last 10 pieces after eating 15. The chef and staff were friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. It was a pleasant experience dining at this restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

This shop has a traditional feel and specializes in dumplings, but also offers a variety of dishes. It seemed popular with the locals and was bustling. The dumplings are 180 yen for 5 pieces, so you'll need at least 20 pieces if you want a meal. The taste is light and healthy. I also ordered Mapo Eggplant, which had a small portion and a Sichuan-style flavor that would go well with rice. The staff seemed busy and didn't interact much, so I think this is a good place for groups.

JR Kanjo Line Teradacho Station After a long time, I visited Teradacho to confirm its existence in these challenging times. To my relief, the place was open for business. It was quite crowded, with seats spaced out for safety measures. I was told to wait for about an hour for a seat to become available, so I decided to wander around. Where should I go? What should I do? It had been a while since I visited the area under the guard of Teradacho. I started with a light Gyobi. Beer (medium bottle) for 550 yen, cucumber for 280 yen, yuzu daikon for 280 yen, and 20 pieces of gyoza for 720 yen. Gyoza is sold in sets of 5 for 180 yen, with orders starting from 10 pieces. Each gyoza is small and easy to eat, with a record of 220 pieces for men and 60 pieces for women to fill the wall with nameplates. The current highest rank is 220 pieces, with the title of "Honorary Yokozuna" like Chiyonofuji. While waiting for the gyoza, I enjoyed the cucumber and yuzu daikon. The gyoza place is a must-visit. Many places only serve one of them, but this place had both beautifully presented. The cucumber was delicious, and the yuzu daikon was exceptionally tasty. By the way, there is a ranking of side characters among friends for places where the cucumber is delicious at gyoza restaurants. The top spot goes to Mister Gyoza in Kyoto, followed by Arikikitei in Tsuruhashi. For those who only want to eat cucumber at a gyoza place, please take note. Finally, the gyoza (20 pieces x 2) arrived. They were beautifully cooked with a sesame oil aroma and a clean sear. They were small and crispy, with a modest amount of filling and a subtle garlic flavor. Eating about two at a time was just right, and they were very easy to eat. The dipping sauces included a vinegar-based sauce, spicy oil, and a herb sauce, allowing for different flavors. Personally, I preferred the herb sauce the most, using plenty of green onions. This light Gyobi was a nice change of pace once in a while.

I suddenly felt like eating gyoza and went to "Senban" and had a taste of "Hitokuchi Gyoza" (you have to order at least 10 pieces). The skin was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the filling was not too meaty, but rather light. The dipping sauce was a mix of vinegar, chili oil, and garnished with green onions. The gyoza was small in size and very easy to eat. I also tried the gyoza both grilled and raw in a hot pot (shabu-shabu), and enjoyed the different textures. The chewiness of the gyoza in the hot pot went well with ponzu sauce. I thought gyoza would go well with beer, so I ordered a bottle. I'm starting to understand the appeal of bottled beer these days. It's been a while since I had a taste of Hitokuchi Gyoza, but it was really delicious. The staff said that women usually eat around 60 pieces and men around 70 pieces of gyoza to have their name and the number they ate displayed on a wooden plaque in the restaurant (they advised not to overdo it). There were also many signed autographs, but I couldn't figure out who was who... I'm sorry... (>_<)

Located near Teradacho Station on the JR Osaka Loop Line, this restaurant is known for its dumplings. Despite being a famous spot in the area, I visited for the first time. The interior is long and narrow, with counter seats near the entrance and table seats in the back. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, especially Chinese cuisine. I ordered 15 dumplings and the Sichuan-style enoki mushroom with egg (680 yen). The dumplings were small with a thin skin, crispy and crunchy. The filling was a mix of 24 ingredients and spices, mainly cabbage. The egg dish was served with a spoon, topped with a spicy sauce and enoki mushrooms. The fluffy texture of the egg was delightful. The restaurant offers a challenge where if you finish 70 dumplings, your name will be displayed inside. I may not be a big eater, but I feel like I could manage with these dumplings. However, I'll pass on having my name displayed on the wall.

I visited this place after many years, and I remember it used to have a livelier atmosphere. As soon as I entered, the staff was pushy, not explaining the rules of the restaurant and expecting me to order drinks and gyoza right away. The gyoza was small and took a long time to be served, with minimal filling inside. It felt like I was mostly eating the skin. The counter was also dirty with dried food crumbs. I won't be coming back here. How is this place rated so high?

I order gyoza in small portions of 10 pieces each. The gyoza is crispy and delicious. In addition to gyoza and small dishes, there are many other izakaya menu items available. If my memory serves me right, in the past there used to be a shop under the JR train tracks that only served gyoza, pickled cucumbers, and beer. It was a standing bar-style shop and I loved the atmosphere back then. Since I go there for the gyoza, I personally don't need a lot of other menu options.

Crispy bite-sized dumplings that you can eat as many as you want, available for takeout as frozen dumplings (reservation required) and also as refrigerated dumplings. I want to eat them at home too!

I feel like having dumplings, maybe this place...

Next to Tennoji Station is Teradacho Station. It was my first time getting off at this station. The area around the station seemed a bit lonely. I visited the famous gyoza restaurant "Senban" and enjoyed some gyoza with a beer. The gyoza was crispy and delicious, a perfect match for the beer. It truly gave me a taste of Osaka. You can get 10 gyoza for 300 yen, which is quite reasonable. Aside from gyoza, they also offer various other dishes. It's a cozy izakaya worth visiting.

This is an izakaya with a yellow tent and a reddish-brown noren curtain as its landmark. It is located near JR Kanjo Line, Teradacho Station, behind the Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Bank. The narrow interior has counter seats and tables in the back. There also seemed to be seats on the second floor. They provide TV and magazines as well. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is good. Initially, I thought it was a gyoza specialty shop, but it's actually an izakaya with gyoza as its specialty. Wooden plaques line the walls. They started a tradition where if a man eats more than 70 pieces or a woman eats more than 60 pieces, they can put up a wooden plaque as a commemoration for the customer. Looking at it, there was even someone who ate 225 pieces. If you love gyoza, you must definitely take on the challenge! This time, I just dropped by for a snack so I didn't eat that much, but I would like to try eating a lot once. The walls are filled with signed color papers. It's an old building, but the interior is well maintained. It has been featured in weekly magazines as well. *** Food *** Beer. I ordered a draft beer. Asahi Super Dry. Beer tastes good even when it's cold. I ordered 20 gyoza. The order is in units of 10 or 5 pieces. It took a little over 10 minutes to cook. I eat it with vinegar, chili oil, and a special sauce on the table. The special sauce is based on green onions. The gyoza is quite small. The skin is crispy and crunchy. The filling is made of 24 ingredients including beef tendon paste and spices. It may also contain leeks and Chinese cabbage. It has a light taste. The amount of filling is quite small, and it seems like a gyoza to enjoy the crispy texture of the skin. Second draft beer. Why is gyoza so good with beer? Noodle soup. Mini ramen. Chicken bone soy sauce flavored soup. The medium-thick noodles are soft. The toppings include chashu, seaweed, chopped nori, sesame, etc. There was a lot of seaweed in it. It has a light taste and is good for finishing off the meal. Items consumed: 2 draft beers (1 glass ¥400 each), 20 gyoza (5 pieces ¥180), noodle soup ¥380. Excluding tax, the total was ¥2050.

I thought about going somewhere special for my 800th review, but in the end, I just went to eat the gyoza that I've been craving for a while (*^^*)♡ I've heard that once you choose a name for your food blog, you can't change it, and some people regret their choices later on. But it's like a one-time thing, right? The name you pick at the beginning. So, I find it really interesting to see everyone's names and imagine what kind of person they might be. For me, it's definitely NO SWEETs NO LIFE! The last heart means... love in everything. I always appreciate you reading and interacting with me, it truly makes me happy ❤️ Sorry for the long introduction... In a dark alley under the guard of Terada Town, there was a yellow tent with lights on. The gyoza was small and crispy, just one type. The menu was like that of an izakaya. Of course, gyoza goes well with beer, right? I'm not good with alcohol, but I ordered a non-alcoholic beer just for the atmosphere (*^_^*) It came in a bottle with a cup on top. The gyoza looked delicious too! You could add sauce, chili oil, garlic, and green onions as you like. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was great (*^^*) Next time, I'll come hungry and eat 60 pieces! (lol)

I watched a TV segment about dumplings and suddenly felt a strong craving for them, so I decided to visit Senban restaurant. I had been there a few years ago, but it was my first visit in a while. They directed me to the second floor, which I didn't remember existed. While I had thought it was a dumpling specialty shop, the menu actually offered a variety of dishes besides dumplings. The dumplings were sold in orders of 10, and they were small, thin, bite-sized dumplings. They were crispy on the outside, but the filling was a bit lacking in juiciness, making them a bit dry. The recommended dish was the stir-fried squid and greens, which had a delicious Japanese-style seasoning. The boiled mino tofu with ponzu sauce had a chewy texture and was also tasty. Even though I went for the dumplings, I ended up trying a variety of dishes and almost forgot about the dumplings. The service was rated 3.5 out of 5, with the staff being a bit indifferent but the owner being friendly.

I visited this place after a long time in June 2016. After having a few drinks in Terada-cho, I was thinking of having ramen as a final dish, but decided to come here for some gyoza instead. Unfortunately, the yakitori restaurant Nanakuni under the Terada-cho station overpass is no longer there. What a shame. Anyway, here they offer small and crispy gyoza for 180 yen for 5 pieces. The texture is really good, and you can easily eat 20-30 of them. I ordered 30 pieces along with a beer. Gyoza and beer, what a wonderful combination. It's really good. Apart from gyoza, they seem to have other dishes as well, but I will definitely come back for their gyoza. Back in September 2012, I had okonomiyaki in Terada-cho, and since I still had a bit of an appetite, I decided to visit this place. It's located on the east side of Terada-cho station, near the Nanakuni yakitori restaurant. The restaurant has counters and tables. The highlight here is definitely the gyoza. Unlike the meat-filled gyoza at Osho, these are bite-sized gyoza that focus on the crispy skin. I ordered 30 pieces for 900 yen. Along with that, I got a beer. The gyoza that came out had a golden brown skin and a crispy texture, which looked very delicious. When I tried them, they were quite good. They paired well with the beer too. But I don't think I need that many. It might be better to try different flavors. I enjoyed them along with some other dishes.

I didn't think that the pervert guy, who I never thought would get married, would even have a child, so we all celebrated together. I was late because of work, but I headed to Senban in Terada-cho. The menu included beer and various tempura dishes, such as garlic fried chicken. The famous gyoza arrived as soon as we sat down, and you can order 5 pieces per person, starting from 2 portions. They were small in size, so you could easily eat 10 pieces. Apparently, if you eat 70 pieces alone, your name will be remembered. The bottomless pit man, indeed. The gyoza was not too meaty, but delicious. The sauce really brought out the flavor. With this size, I feel like I could go for 100 pieces if I don't get tired of the taste. The sauce with leeks was good too. The gyoza itself was not too rich, more on the light side, with no strong impact. So the sauce really shines. But with this taste, as long as you have beer, you can go for 100 pieces. The shrimp gratin was spicy and tasty, with spring rolls and such. The spicy flavor was just right. Then came the shrimp and squid plate soba. Was this a prank on me?! Can I even eat this?! The pork kimchi fried rice menu wasn't even there! But it was delicious. And lastly, a salad. Or so I thought, but it turned out to be cold chicken. I was about 60% full, but time is time, so we left the restaurant. The atmosphere was lively and nice. It was a good experience. Thank you for the meal!

Located behind Terada-cho Station, this shop is visited for the third time. There are counter seats and table seats available. This time, due to overtime, I decided to eat and go home. The mini gyoza here is a specialty. We ordered 60 of them for two people. The freshly baked mini gyoza has a chewy texture (*´ェ｀*), which is delicious!! I like to eat it with a lot of chili oil. I think women could probably eat around 30 pieces. Thank you for the meal! I will visit again!
