This is a wonderful restaurant where you can eat delicious dumplings at a low price until you are full! In addition to pan-fried dumplings, they offer boiled dumplings, deep-fried dumplings, and dumpling soup, so you won't get tired of eating them. The deep-fried dumplings, especially, were delicious with mayonnaise on the side.

I visited this restaurant alone at night. I suddenly felt like eating gyoza, so I found this place on Tabelog. It was my first time at this restaurant, but it was easy to enter and quite crowded, so it seems popular. The staff seemed busy and I couldn't ask for recommendations, but the soup, gyoza, and fried rice were all delicious. I want to try more dishes, so next time I will come with friends! Thank you for the meal.

Shochu on the rocks with grilled gyoza - spicy gyoza / fried rice + highball! Although it's classified as an izakaya, they have managed to maintain the authentic taste of a Chinese restaurant! The fried rice has the potential to become a world champion with just a couple more shakes of MSG, I'm looking forward to it. It was delicious as always!

At a popular casual izakaya specializing in gyoza near Shinjuku Station West Exit, I wasn't in the mood for alcohol but really wanted to eat gyoza, so I chose this place. It was a Friday night, so the restaurant was quite crowded. Orders were placed using a QR code on the table with my smartphone. Even though I didn't order any alcohol and just asked for water, the staff didn't give me a hard time and accommodated my request. The gyoza I ordered had some torn skins, but the staff kindly brought extra gyoza for the torn ones. There was a promotion where adding the restaurant on LINE as a friend would get you a free serving of gyoza, which made me quite happy! In addition to the gyoza, I also ordered egg and leek stir-fry, cold noodles, and salad. The cold noodles were delicious, but the egg and leek stir-fry was too peppery and salty. The salad had a dressing that wasn't particularly tasty, but the portion was generous and the price was reasonable, so I think it was good value for money. As for the main gyoza, they were on the lighter side and not exactly to my taste. Overall, it's a decent place, maybe good for a second stop after drinking at another place.

Cuisine → Chicken Nanban Set Meal Price → 850 yen Located at the west exit of Shinjuku Station, in the Yodobashi area. The restaurant is on the second floor of Tenkaippin. Lunch is served until 3:00 PM. You can get free refills of rice. I had a hard time deciding, but I ordered the Chicken Nanban. I noticed there was a menu on the back, and they had a Gyoza Lunch where you could try both pan-fried and boiled dumplings. I regretted not ordering that one! It was a bit past 2:00 PM and the restaurant was relatively empty, with about 10 people inside. There are counter seats and regular tables. The food came out pretty quickly. Honestly, the fried chicken itself didn't have much flavor, so I had to dip it in sauce or tartar sauce to make it tastier. Apparently, you can get a free extra serving of tartar sauce, so I recommend that. The rice portion was generous from the start, and the soup was quite filling as well. There is an elevator, but the entrance to the restaurant is narrow, so it might be tight with a stroller. You can pay with cash or card. The staff was efficient and pleasant. I'd like to come back and try the Gyoza next time.

Today's rehearsal went well, although it has been years since I played the trombone. I need to practice more to improve. I was invited to have lunch at a Chinese restaurant today, and I had lu rou fan (braised pork over rice). It's always delicious no matter where you eat it, but I wish the portion was a bit bigger. I would like to try the authentic version someday. Maybe everything is smaller in Taiwan, but I still feel a bit unsatisfied with the portion size. Since it's a dumpling restaurant, I'll challenge myself to try their dumplings next time.

Visited the restaurant on Saturday at 1:00 PM. The place was about half full, maybe because it's not very noticeable on the second floor. There were three busy staff members. I was recommended this place by a friend who loves thin-skinned dumplings. It seems like a good place for a casual drink. I ordered fried rice and dumplings, but the dumplings arrived after I finished the fried rice. If you like thin-skinned dumplings, you'll probably enjoy them. Personally, I prefer the dumplings at Sosan in Yoyogi. The fried rice was a bit mushy. I prefer it more separate. Maybe they make it with freshly cooked rice.

Recently, I have been seeing this gyoza restaurant quite often. The name of the store is "Shibuya Gyoza Shinjuku Nishiguchi Store", and upon researching, I found out that there are only about 4 stores in Tokyo, and I have only seen it in Shibuya and Shinjuku, but I mistakenly thought it was common. It's interesting how the mind works. The area around the west exit of Shinjuku is bustling with izakayas and chain restaurants. This Shibuya Gyoza is said to be affiliated with Gyu-Kaku. Gyu-Kaku is also located in the same building. Despite the seemingly no-reservation atmosphere, reservations are actually possible. You can even make a reservation through Tabelog. The customers are varied, including salarymen, girls' night out groups, and solo male diners. We sat at a table for two and ordered the classic pan-fried gyoza, the timely BP gyoza (Black Pepper), salted kombu cabbage, potato salad, and mapo tofu. By the way, I wonder when they came up with BP gyoza. Recently? The classic gyoza is priced at 280 yen, while the BP gyoza is 450 yen. But with Japan being so lively, I silently fell for it. The salted kombu cabbage tastes like salted kombu cabbage, with the quality of the cabbage being average to slightly below average. It's spring, so spring cabbage is sweet and in season, which is why it's cheap, and I feel like saying that out loud. The potato salad tastes like an original potato salad. I've never bought one from Origin though. The Black Pepper is sprinkled on as a playful touch, but I think it would taste better if they were more generous with it. It's a bit bland, so I added more pepper, and it tasted a bit better. The pan-fried gyoza - I recently pan-fried frozen gyoza from Karan in Utsunomiya at home and was impressed by how amazing frozen gyoza can be. So, the conclusion is that it's below frozen gyoza. It might taste better if they pan-fried the skin until it's crispy, to get rid of the limp texture. I named it the Pepper Mill Gyoza. BP. The pan-frying is mediocre, but the scent of BP surprisingly becomes addictive, and it seems that it's recommended to drizzle or dip it in lemon juice before eating, which surprisingly goes well. It's just delicious. Thanks to this, I now have an excuse to bring a pepper mill along and do it with my companion. I did it 2-3 times. Mapo tofu - There was a sign saying that even Chinese people are surprised by it, so I decided to order it. It was delicious and surprising. It has the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns, chunks of minced meat, and a strong aroma of doubanjiang. The minced meat is cooked thoroughly on high heat, so there's no unpleasant smell, and the umami flavor is well extracted. I would like to eat this with rice. In total, it was around 3,500 yen for two people. If it's gyoza, I recommend ordering the Pepper Mill and then going for the mapo tofu set meal. Thank you for the meal.

Chicken nanban set meal with gyoza. The portion size is satisfying and the gyoza is delicious, perfect bite-sized pieces. I was impressed by how suitable it is as a snack. I'm thinking of going back for drinks one evening. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also nice. Chicken nanban set meal for 850 yen.

The number of shops with the name "○○ Gyoza" is increasing. Despite the self-restraint during the coronavirus pandemic, it finally feels like it's fading away. On a Sunday night in a bustling downtown area, even in Shinjuku West Exit, you can see the touts starting to appear. I entered a shop with a name I had never heard before in search of delicious gyoza and beer. It was a lively place filled with young people where you could drink leisurely.

Basic gyoza is the most satisfying. You can eat as many as you want without getting tired of them. #gyoza #panfriedgyoza #gyozalover #classicgyoza #tabelog #bclassgourmet #shinjukugourmet #shinjuku #delicious #deliciousrestaurant #food #foodie #delish

I visited around 18:30 on a holiday and was seated right away at the counter seat. The menu includes not only dumplings but also other dishes commonly found in casual izakayas. In addition to the pan-fried dumplings, we also tried boiled dumplings and fried dumplings, and they were all delicious. The portions were just right, and it's easy to end up ordering a variety of dishes! They also offer set meals for dinner, and I saw some people enjoying them as well. It's a casual and versatile place to visit for various occasions.

Located next to the Yodobashi Camera building where Shinjuku Station West Exit is, this Shibuya Gyoza chain restaurant offers affordable prices that are unique to the chain. I ordered the Miyazaki Chicken Nanban set meal (800 yen) with a side of lunch gyoza (250 yen). The Chicken Nanban uses breast meat, which gives it a different texture from thigh meat, but it tastes delicious with the tartar sauce. I tried adding the eating chili oil provided, and the spiciness added a nice kick to the meal. The gyoza was as good as always. I remember how incredibly cheap the lunch prices were on weekdays, and even on weekends, the generous portions at this price point are definitely worth it. I'm already thinking about what to try next time I visit.

We used this restaurant for a post-golf party with members of our university circle. The course with all-you-can-drink option was very affordable, so we were considering ordering additional dishes, but we were satisfied with the content. We will definitely use it again.

A Chinese restaurant located about a 5-minute walk from the west exit of Shinjuku Station. The interior has an L-shaped counter and table seats. The W Gyoza Set Meal (¥750 including tax) allows you to choose 2 types of gyoza from pan-fried, boiled, and deep-fried. The thin-skinned gyoza has a light taste and goes well with rice.

It was the end of the hot Bon festival, and I wanted to have an early dinner. The location is right in the middle of a bustling downtown area, making it extremely convenient. I climbed up a narrow staircase to enter the restaurant. When I visited around 5 pm, there were hardly any people inside, which was not surprising considering it was Monday and the last day of the Bon festival. Busy drinking spots in the city are not likely to be crowded. As someone who wanted to avoid crowds, I was very grateful for this. The food and taste: - Gyoza (30 pieces): The thin-skinned gyoza with a generous filling and less meat juice was easy to eat with a crispy texture. I chose the garlic option, but even those who don't like garlic can still enjoy it as the garlic flavor is not overpowering. There is a strong version available for those seeking a more intense garlic flavor. With vinegar, chili oil, and sauce on the table, you can season the gyoza to your liking. Surprisingly, it wasn't greasy when cooked, making it easy to eat even for those who don't like greasy food. I had it with vinegar and chili oil, and the flavor of the filling was so well-balanced that those who prefer mild flavors can enjoy this combination. For around 1500 yen, you can enjoy this generous serving of gyoza in the heart of Shinjuku, which is quite cost-effective. - Cold noodles: Served with a seasoned egg, shredded steamed chicken, and green onions, the soup was slightly lacking in coldness, so I added some extra ice cubes. The soup was slightly strong in flavor, and the ice cubes melted to create a perfect taste. As someone originally from Morioka, I am quite particular about the taste of cold noodles, and while the noodle texture was a bit weak compared to authentic Morioka cold noodles, the generous toppings and the light vinegar-flavored soup made it a delicious option for a chain restaurant. It's a dish I would like to have when I want something light. - Nira tamago: Served with a moderate amount of Chinese chives and a fluffy egg, it had a gentle flavor that was perfect for a palate cleanser. However, being a Chinese dish, the soup was quite salty. It's a good accompaniment for drinks. - Mapo tofu: A spicy dish with a strong kick, it was difficult to finish the sauce without rice! It had a bold flavor with plenty of chili oil and Sichuan pepper, so those who don't like spicy food may want to avoid it. On the other hand, spicy food lovers would enjoy this dish. It had a rich flavor from the doubanjiang (broad bean paste) and a prominent spiciness. Despite being a chain restaurant, the taste was authentic and of high quality. It's on the salty and oily side, so those with a sensitive stomach should be cautious. Overall, I didn't realize it was a chain restaurant until I visited. My companion had been frequenting this place since their student days. It's a wallet-friendly spot where you can quickly eat and drink at the counter or enjoy a lively meal with friends. While it may not appeal to everyone, the restroom was clean, and I look forward to returning for a proper drinking session. It's a downtown Chinese restaurant that offers good value for both drinking and dining.

The standard was delicious and the gyoza was tasty. You can choose whether you want leeks and garlic or not. It was great to use the half-price coupon for a draft beer, 6 gyoza, or the strongest lemon sour by registering on LINE. The lemon sour was a good deal because it had a lot of alcohol in it, making it very friendly to the bill.

After eating a gourmet burger, I decided to stop by "Shibuya Gyoza" on the west side of JR Shinjuku Station to have some gyoza before heading home. Last month, I went to a place in Kabukicho and it was a bit disappointing, so this time I tried a different area on the opposite side of the station. Apparently, this place is affiliated with the famous Mita Seimenjo. The restaurant is located on the second floor of a small building. I arrived around 2 PM and was seated at the counter right after entering. There was a party going on in the back. I looked at the menu and placed my order. The waiter was hovering right behind me, which made me a bit uncomfortable. I ordered "Grilled Gyoza x2/638 yen", "Boiled Gyoza/319 yen", and "Draft Beer Asahi Super Dry/270 yen". Surprisingly, they had a happy hour even on a Sunday, so drinks were half price, which was a nice bonus. While sipping on my beer, the boiled gyoza arrived first. The texture of the skin was nice and the soup had a good flavor, but I added some vinegar and soy sauce for extra taste. Then came the grilled gyoza. They are known for their thin skin and healthier option. The flavor was a bit mild at first, so I followed their recommendation of dipping it in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil. It was delicious. Since it was a hot day, I ordered another drink. "Lemon Sour (1.5 times size)/220 yen". The size was good, but it was a bit weak in flavor, more like lemon juice. But it was a great deal during happy hour. I paid less than 1,500 yen in total, which was a good deal. This was my first time visiting a gyoza specialty restaurant in Tokyo. I would love to try more famous gyoza places listed in the "Gyoza Hyakumeiten" book in the future.

When entering the second floor of the building and choosing dumplings, you can select whether they have garlic or not. Of course, I chose garlic, but the difference is not very noticeable. I am more curious about the Lu Rou Fan. It has a distinctive flavor because it uses Shaoxing wine and star anise. Garlic and ginger are essential in cold weather. Since it is part of the same chain as Mita Seimen and Gyu-Kaku, it maintains a relaxed image and atmosphere. It's good that standardized and casual restaurants are becoming more common, offering a variety of options.

Arrived at Shinjuku Station after returning from the mountain and headed straight to this restaurant craving beer and gyoza. Climbed the stairs, entered the restaurant, and sat at the counter. Even when dining alone, I wish they would guide me to a table during times when there are many empty seats. The staff seemed to be busy with a group of women who arrived later, so I gave up on ordering for the time being. Finally, I ordered the "Gyoza Large Plate 20 pieces" for 979 yen tax included, a "Draft Beer" for 539 yen, and an additional "Lemon Sour" for 330 yen. While enjoying the draft beer, I waited for the gyoza to arrive. It took about 10 minutes for the gyoza to be served, and I savored the freshly made gyoza. The size was average or slightly small, with a light and not overpowering flavor that would appeal to women. The skin was elastic but thin, lacking in volume but perhaps suitable for eating 20 gyoza. I also tried the "Fried Rice" at this restaurant, which had a generous portion and a traditional flavor. They offer great value lunch sets and the prices are reasonable. I always see a lot of young women here, which I find interesting.
