If you're looking for a place in Tanbabashi that is cheap, fast, delicious, and fun to drink at, you can't miss this place. The manager may seem laid-back but provides thoughtful service, which is much appreciated! You can easily enjoy yourself even if you come alone. Oh, and it's totally fine to just drink without eating, so it's perfect for those who just want to drink like me! The menu has a variety of chicken dishes like sashimi and fried chicken, as well as salads and rice. Well, let's give it a try!

Today, my family and I went to a restaurant that my wife had been wanting to try, which is known for its delicious dumplings. We arrived just before 1 pm and had to sit at the counter since the second floor was full. We decided to order the "Drooling Chicken Set" lunch menu for 840 yen, which came with drooling chicken, miso soup, pickles, and rice. Unfortunately, they were out of the regular meat dumplings, so we opted for chicken dumplings instead and also ordered a side of "Shiba-zuke Dumplings" for 320 yen. The dumpling sauce was a traditional mix of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil. The chicken dumplings were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with the flavor of chicken and ginger. The Shiba-zuke dumplings had a refreshing acidity and aroma that paired perfectly with the rice. The drooling chicken had a spicy and tangy sauce over tender chicken breast meat, topped with green onions. Although we were a bit disappointed about the meat dumplings being sold out, we all thoroughly enjoyed the chicken dumplings. Even though the dumplings were reasonably priced on their own, the lunch set was especially good value. We plan to come back for the meat dumplings next time for a delicious rematch.

Cucumber pickles for 310 yen, meat dumplings for 320 yen, chicken dumplings for 320 yen, highball for 500 yen x2 [Total] 1,950 yen. The cucumber pickles didn't suit my taste. I think it was my first time trying chicken dumplings! Both the meat and chicken dumplings were just ordinary and tasty. I couldn't find a reason to come all the way here just to eat dumplings. After eating dumplings here, I'll go eat dumplings at the nearby "Osho" instead. I probably won't visit this place again. Thank you for the meal. P.S. They recommended their homemade miso sauce, but since I'm not from Kobe, I'm not accustomed to eating dumplings with miso sauce. I tried it because they recommended it, but it wasn't particularly delicious. Dumplings taste best with vinegar soy sauce or dumpling sauce.

I visited the restaurant again to eat the chicken dumplings that I couldn't eat yesterday. They were delicious. In addition to dumplings, they have a variety of chicken dishes like chicken yukhoe, drooling chicken, and chicken wings. When I asked the manager, I found out that they used to have a yakitori restaurant as part of their group. No wonder the chicken dishes are so good. I also tried putting various toppings on rice and making a bowl out of it, it was amazing. I definitely want to try the chicken wings again. I didn't know they would go so well with rice. This is a great restaurant that is easy to visit alone.

A gyoza restaurant that opened in the former location of "Akao-ni" on Tanbabashi Street. The restaurant before "Akao-ni" was a Japanese restaurant, and before that was "Yamabiko Fushimi Store." Although "Yamabiko" and the Japanese restaurant didn't last long, I think "Akao-ni" lasted quite a while. The current restaurant seems to have opened in February. The basic lunch menu includes pork gyoza (880 yen), chicken gyoza (880 yen), and spicy gyoza (990 yen) set meals, with options to add a beer set or a satisfaction set. The great thing is that you can get unlimited rice and miso soup, and you can mix the gyoza. Mixing pork gyoza and chicken gyoza costs 880 yen, but if you mix one of them with spicy gyoza, it costs 935 yen. I ordered a mix of pork gyoza and spicy gyoza. There are black pepper, chili oil, soy sauce, and vinegar on the table. There doesn't seem to be a pre-made sauce, but there is homemade garlic chili oil and miso sauce. I made my own vinegar soy sauce and vinegar black pepper. I tried the chicken gyoza first. The skin is slightly thick, and the crispy sear is surprisingly good. When you bite into it, the juicy filling bursts out, and it's very flavorful, refreshing, and well-seasoned compared to pork gyoza. Although there are no gyoza in the chicken gyoza, there is a slight spiciness that doesn't overpower the balance, likely from chives. It's delicious. The pork gyoza has garlic in it, but the flavor is not as strong, and the filling is mostly meat, with a unique taste that's hard to describe. This one doesn't suit my taste. Since chicken is the main ingredient in other menu items besides gyoza, it seems like they excel in chicken dishes. Also, both the homemade garlic chili oil and miso sauce are extremely tasty. The miso soup has a strong kelp flavor, with kelp as the main ingredient. Once the state of emergency is lifted, I might come back for a casual drink.

I visited this place that I had been curious about for a while. It is located next to the Seven Eleven a little west down Tanbabashi Street from Keihan Tanbabashi Station. I arrived on a certain weekday at the opening time of 11:30. But when I arrived... Oh no (゜_。)? It's not open... For some reason, instead of the Seven Eleven right next to it, I killed time at the nearby Family Mart and tried again around 11:40. It was open ε-(´∀｀*)ﾎｯ I entered the restaurant as the first customer, sat at the counter, and ordered the meat dumplings set meal with drooling chicken. Rice refills are free, but they haven't been cooked yet orz It seems that the preparation was delayed and the opening was delayed as well. Anyway, the food is quite delicious ╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ ｸﾞｯ! Personally, I liked the garlic chili oil. It's smelly but I might try ordering a manga-sized portion of rice next time (^-^)

I happened to visit this place on a whim. I ordered a beer set and spicy gyoza on this day. The gyoza had delicious filling oozing out and a slightly crispy skin. It's not too chewy. The price is around 400 yen per plate, which is a bit high. The spicy gyoza had a red cross-section, and felt a bit monotonous. If I were to eat here again, I would go for the gyoza lunch set for 1 person, priced at 550 yen.

I was walking around near my place at lunchtime and browsing through Tabelog when I spotted a dumpling restaurant - oh, this place has dumplings! It looked so delicious, my instincts kicked in! But I already have food at home, so okay, I'll get it to go. Um, excuse me, can I get this to go? Oh, sure, but we only have chicken dumplings. That's fine, I just want to try them, so I took them home and cooked them in a cast iron pot - sizzling and juicy. Oh, these might be really tasty! I can eat so many of these! They're delicious, I'll definitely come back for more! I want to try other kinds too!

The gyoza was delicious and generously sized. When I ate in the restaurant, I was impressed by how they were thriving in the competitive gyoza market in Kyoto. However, the staff seemed preoccupied with regular customers, which led to mistakes with our order. The restaurant specializes in gyoza, so the limited variety of other dishes was understandable.

On hot days after walking a lot, nothing beats the spicy dumplings here. Natto kimchi, chicken wings, rice. Can't go wrong. The best!

Near Tanbabashi Station. Spicy gyoza set meal that goes well with rice and beer. Comes with 12 spicy gyoza, highly recommended. Will definitely go again.

Conveniently located near the station!

Next to the coin parking lot where I parked, there was a shop selling dumplings. The shop was a branch of a chain store, but they were selling dumplings from Ittan, a dumpling specialty store in Fushimi. During the promotion period (which has already ended), the dumplings were discounted from 360 yen to 250 yen. I bought chicken dumplings and pork dumplings, both with 6 pieces each. I cooked and ate them at home on the same day, and they were quite delicious, especially the chicken dumplings! If I have the chance, I would like to visit the store again.
