In a dimly lit shopping street in Ombetsu City in July 2023, there is a quiet dumpling specialty store run by a single owner. The store is open all day from 10:00, but it can be quite difficult to find at night as it closes without turning on the lights. The small, simple interior looks like a converted izakaya, and the menu is the same for both lunch and dinner. You can eat in or take out, and the dumplings are priced cheaper in larger quantities. The beer is a must-try. We started with three dumplings each: Spicy dumplings for 460 yen, Garlic-infused pan-fried dumplings for 390 yen, and Boiled dumplings for 390 yen (290 yen with a coupon). The skins are chewy and slightly thick, with a strong texture, and the filling is packed with a satisfying bite. The pan-fried dumplings are light, with a subtle garlic flavor, while the spicy dumplings have a clear, spicy taste that I personally prefer over the pan-fried ones. The boiled dumplings are chewy and easy to eat with a sesame sauce. I also tried the Salt Yakisoba for 750 yen, which was delicious with its chewy noodles and generous filling. The Egg Soup for 150 yen was a large bowl with plenty of ingredients and a gentle salty flavor, making it a great value for money. I will definitely be back when I'm in the mood for dumplings. Thank you for the meal!

This is my second visit to this restaurant. One of the good things about this place is that you can use T-points here, which is rare. I had a good impression when I visited before, but this time I wanted to use my T-points and also treat my son to a meal. Based on the information from other reviewers that the egg soup is delicious, we went there at night! The portable stove was nice. We ordered the shiso pork bone dumplings, double cheese dumplings, garlic dumplings, and egg soup. The dumplings were huge and delicious, especially the shiso pork bone flavor. The cheese dumplings were rich, but I couldn't really taste the garlic in the garlic dumplings. Usually, after eating minced meat dishes, my burps smell bad (sorry for the TMI), but this was not the case here. The ingredients' flavors were really delicious. I was asked if I wanted black vinegar with it, and although I didn't like it before, this time it was really tasty. The egg soup had a generous amount, was thick and creamy, with lots of ingredients. The location is a bit hard to find and the restaurant is not very spacious, but I really recommend trying the food here! I will definitely go back. Thank you for the meal!

I'm a stalker of Mairebi-san? The dumpling shop on Hongodori is closed until mid-May, so I found out that there is a delicious dumpling and shumai shop in Ebetsu, and I went on an Ebetsu tour right away. I tried various dishes (*^^*) such as pan-fried dumplings, vegetable dumplings, boiled dumplings, spicy dumplings, meat shumai, curry soup dumplings, and limited butter chicken curry. I couldn't make it to the egg soup this time. Well, all the dumplings and meat shumai are delicious on their own (*^^*) The curry soup that looks like soup curry is a different thing, but it's good too. The meat shumai is not too doughy and has a good meaty taste (^^) I especially liked the pan-fried dumplings and the spicy dumplings. Next time, I'll try the egg soup too (*´艸｀*)ｳﾌﾟﾌﾟ

Gyoza Hanabi, located in Nakamachi Shopping Street, is a bit hard to find, so I checked the map. They offer 3 pieces of pan-fried gyoza for 390 yen, 3 pieces of meat shumai for 400 yen (350 yen with coupon), and egg soup for 150 yen. The large-sized gyoza has plenty of delicious pork mince and cabbage filling, with just the right amount of meat juice and a nice touch of black vinegar. It's tasty when eaten with soy sauce, vinegar, or chili oil. I like it best when eaten as it is, as both the skin and filling are delicious. The meat shumai is big and satisfying, filled with plenty of meat juice and tightly packed filling. Just like the gyoza, I prefer to eat it without any additional sauce. The egg soup is amazing! It's surprising how it's filled with ingredients like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and shimeji mushrooms, with a thick consistency and delicious taste, all for just 150 yen! It's a great value for money. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. I should try the egg soup with water dumplings next time. The owner is very kind, and the atmosphere of the shop is comfortable. If they offered set meals like Sumiyoshi, I would definitely visit more often. I really enjoyed the food. Thank you for the meal.

We made a reservation through Hot Pepper and visited the restaurant for the first time with three people. The restaurant opens early at 10 am. Here is what we ordered: Vegetable Gyoza (without garlic) x5 for 600 yen, Double Cheese Gyoza x3 for 460 yen, Steamed Gyoza x5 for 600 yen, Pork Shumai x3 for 400 yen, Chicken Karaage for 450 yen, Medium Rice for 200 yen, Rice Set (with miso soup and pickles) for an additional 100 yen. We used the navigation on our smartphones (Google Maps) and arrived at the front of the restaurant, but the entrance is actually at the back. The staff guided us to the parking lot, which was very close by. The restaurant had an L-shaped counter, tables, and raised seating areas. The background music was a mix of nostalgic J-pop songs. We shared all the dishes among the three of us. We started with the classic pan-fried gyoza, followed by the vegetable gyoza without garlic, cheese-topped gyoza, steamed gyoza, and pork shumai. All the dishes were delicious and had a chewy texture. The default sauce, a special black vinegar sauce, was carefully crafted to complement the gyoza. You could add soy sauce to adjust the flavor. The double cheese gyoza had cheese both on top and inside, hence the name "double." The chicken karaage was crispy and juicy. We were recommended to try the set with miso soup and pickles for an extra 100 yen, which paired well with the gyoza. The miso soup was not too strong and went well with the gyoza. The pickles were delicious, with a light pickling flavor. The restaurant's name "Hanabi" (fireworks) might be related to the posters of Hokkaido fireworks festivals displayed inside. The staff provided excellent service. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience.

After finishing my night shift, I was tired of just eating ramen, so I decided to make a reservation at this place that serves gyoza starting from 10:30 AM. There were no customers when I arrived, but they were receiving orders through a delivery service. I also tried their yakisoba, which had a generous portion, and the braised pork was deliciously tender. The gyoza was huge and packed with filling, which I love. They also offer takeout, which I might try next time. Unfortunately, it started snowing when I wanted to leave. I definitely want to bring my kids here someday because they love gyoza, and I want to enjoy it with a drink. The owner was very friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. The name of the restaurant is Hana Bi, and they had various posters related to gyoza. Thank you for the meal! ＼(^o^)／

On a certain holiday, I decided to have lunch and visit a gyoza restaurant in Omaenakamachi, Ebetsu City. The restaurant has a compact layout with a small counter, tables, and a raised seating area, giving it a cozy izakaya-like atmosphere. The background music playing was nostalgic Japanese pop songs from the 80s to 90s. Since I had already eaten ramen and fried rice earlier, I opted for the "Grilled Gyoza (390 yen)" and the "Kikuta Ke Gyoza (440 yen)" from the menu. After a reasonable wait, the gyoza were ready. The grilled gyoza had a firm yet not thick skin, filled generously with delicious minced meat and a good amount of cabbage, with a subtle garlic flavor. The special black vinegar recommended by the restaurant enhanced the flavor of the gyoza even more. Next, the Kikuta Ke Gyoza caught my attention with its name, which contains shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots. The skin was thin, the filling was well-seasoned, and upon closer inspection, I could taste the distinct textures and flavors of the mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Overall, I enjoyed the gyoza and would like to try a different dish or a set meal on my next visit. Thank you for the meal.

I love dumplings so much that I wouldn't hesitate to go to a dumpling restaurant even three times a day. When I heard that a dumpling restaurant had opened based on Mairevi's review, I couldn't resist and dragged my companion out under the guise of going to a hot spring. The interior of the restaurant is run by two friendly men, and they have a wide variety of dumpling menu options. After some deliberation, we ordered 5 different items, each with 3 dumplings. The fried quail egg dumplings were the first to arrive, hot and crispy, perfect for snacking. Next, we tried the pan-fried dumplings with a nice crunch from the cabbage and a good balance of meat. The seasoning was a bit weak, but it tasted better with the black vinegar sauce provided. The mushroom and bamboo shoot dumplings were a bit disappointing as the ingredients were finely chopped and didn't stand out in texture. The spicy dumplings had a subtle kick from the Sichuan pepper, but could have been a bit spicier. The double cheese dumplings were delicious, with a mild cheese flavor that complemented the filling well. The meat shumai was fluffy and juicy, bursting with meaty goodness. The rice was cooked perfectly using Ebetsu rice, fluffy and delicious. Overall, the dumplings were well-made and tasty, but the strong black vinegar sauce overpowered the flavors. Black vinegar can be a divisive condiment, and personally, I found it a bit too strong. However, I think it would be perfect for boiled dumplings. The restaurant is located in a somewhat deserted area, which is a bit concerning. I wonder if it gets much foot traffic during the day. If only it were closer to my home, I would definitely become a regular customer. I look forward to trying their boiled dumplings next time. Thank you, "Hanabi" restaurant!

It's a place in Asahikawa City, in the middle of the Naka-machi shopping street in Daima. Check the map on Tabelog for the exact location. I heard that a new dumpling shop opened in the somewhat quiet Naka-machi shopping street in Daima, so I went to visit the shop as usual. I arrived at the front of the shop, parked my car in the designated parking lot, and then headed to the shop. I checked the menu at the entrance and entered the store. I sat at the counter and ordered the basic "yaki gyoza" set with 5 dumplings, a small bowl of rice, miso soup, and pickles. I waited for about 10 minutes, and the dumplings arrived. The dumplings were relatively large with a filling of minced pork and cabbage, but they lacked a bit of meat juice. I tried the dumplings without any sauce first, and found the flavor to be quite mild, so I wanted some sauce. I then tried the shop's original black vinegar-based sauce, but I personally didn't like the strong vinegar taste. I made my own sauce with soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, and pepper, dipped the dumplings in it, and also ate them on rice. I drank miso soup to refresh my throat, had some pickled radish as a palate cleanser, and finished my meal. For those living in the Sapporo area, "Miyoshino" is known for its dumplings, where you can get a dumpling set or dumpling curry for just a little over a coin. I wish there were more dumpling menu options that would make you a fan.

[Completely Non-Smoking] A new izakaya restaurant that also serves gyoza opened on June 3, 2022, in the Nakamachi Shotengai in Ombetsu City. The location of Nakamachi Shotengai is one street in from the intersection of 2nd Avenue and Oma Minami 15-chome Avenue. It is located in the middle of Nakamachi Shotengai, closer to Sapporo than the park and about a 7-8 minute walk from JR Oma Station. Parking is usually available in front of the restaurant at spaces 13 and 14. If they are full, please inquire with the restaurant staff. I visited for the first time around 11 am on June 3, 2022. The weather was a bit cool with a chance of rain, so I decided to eat at a nearby restaurant near the Mori no Koen Park and Oma Station. I found a restaurant that I had never heard of on Tabelog, and it turned out to be a newly opened store just 5 minutes away! I quickly got ready, hopped on my mama-chari, and headed there. At first glance, the interior of the restaurant looked like a nicely renovated small snack bar. Since they were just starting out with their social media presence, I wondered if they were quietly opening. I was the second customer (a great honor, haha) and sat at the counter to place my order. I ordered 3 water gyoza, curry soup for 570 yen, 5 vegetable gyoza (without garlic) for 600 yen, and a medium-sized bowl of rice for 200 yen. I requested the curry soup to be on the spicier side. While waiting for the food, I poured myself some hojicha tea and waited. The first to arrive were the fried gyoza and the bowl of rice, which turned out to be quite a generous portion. The rice was cooked to a soft texture and was quite good. The fried gyoza had a crispy and crunchy skin, and the meat inside tasted like it was made from 100% pork with minimal fat. The vegetable gyoza, despite its name, had a significant amount of meat and a pleasant vegetable texture. The black vinegar dipping sauce for the gyoza had a unique blend that brought a clean and refreshing touch to it. I confirmed with the staff that it was an original blend, and I was right to choose the black vinegar sauce. I received compliments for noticing the subtle difference in the sauce that no one else seemed to notice. I decided to add the braised pork yakisoba, which turned out to be a perfect combination. Just as I finished eating, the curry soup arrived, looking like a mini soup curry. It was garnished with shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, and eggplants, creating a colorful presentation. I realized that the water gyoza went best with the soup, and the texture of the skin felt delightful as it slid down my throat. Although the soup curry wasn't their specialty, it was still a bit disappointing for someone like me who enjoys trying different soup curries. The dashi was delicious, so I decided that next time, I would try the egg drop soup. Despite my somewhat critical comments, I really enjoyed this restaurant. The service may have been a bit awkward at the beginning, but it will surely improve over time. The atmosphere of the restaurant will evolve with time and experience. Above all, the passion of the staff for their food was evident, which is why I liked it so much. I may have written quite a bit, but I really liked this restaurant. I understand that I may come across as overly critical, but I will definitely revisit this place. In these times of rising ingredient and fuel costs, I wish them all the best. I will definitely be back for another visit.

I went for the dumplings, which were delicious, but the limited quantity curry also looked tasty. I plan to try the curry next time I visit! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great, so I recommend it!
