I ate quite a bit and it was delicious, so 7000 yen for two people seems reasonable. I personally liked the atmosphere as well. Just a reminder, I try to write my thoughts honestly so that people reading the review won't be misled. I will provide additional information about Instagrammable spots or the ambiance of the restaurant, but my ratings are mainly based on whether the food is delicious or not, and if it is worth the price.

I went to this place in Akasaka for a meal before working out, and it turned out to be surprisingly delicious! I could eat their garlic fried rice all day. The dumplings were also tasty! The interior was quite enjoyable too, with the kitchen in the middle. It might be a good place to go for drinks as well. The only concern is the cost.

Located near Akasaka-mitsuke and Nagatacho, this Chinese restaurant and izakaya offers a variety of delicious dishes such as grilled dumplings with shiso and green chili, water dumplings with cheese, spring rolls, mapo tofu, pickles, shredded pork with green peppers, chorizo, fried rice, chicken soup, almond jelly with black honey kinako ice cream, and more. They also serve bottomless drinks including draft beer, Sakura Sakasu sour, and umeboshi sour. A must-try for adults looking for quality Chinese cuisine.

It was a stylish and clean restaurant. They had both pan-fried and boiled dumplings, with pan-fried dumplings coming with green chili pepper and perilla, while boiled dumplings with perilla. You can see the staff making the dumplings right in front of you. Although the menu highlighted their mapo tofu as a specialty, we opted for two different flavors of pan-fried dumplings this time. Both were flavorful and delicious with crispy skins. The only downside was that the staff took a while to come over.

I recently went to Sakura Sakasu in Akasaka because I was craving their dumplings. They have several types of dumplings, and I chose the shiso dumplings because I like shiso. I was surprised to find that the shiso was on top of the dumplings, not inside. The dumplings were delicious and came with wings. The restaurant mainly has counter seating, with a few tables available. The lemon sour drink was okay, but I wish they had added fresh lemon. When the restaurant first opened, they had tantanmen and other dishes, but now they only serve soy sauce ramen. It's a shame. Overall, it's a good place for a casual drink.

I used it for dinner with friends. I ordered the limited course on Makuake. We were so engrossed in chatting that I didn't take many photos, but the gyoza was juicy and filling. The fillings varied from shiso to spicy, making it fun, but nothing particularly stood out. The mapo tofu and the finishing Chinese soba left a similar impression, everything was decent. The atmosphere of the restaurant is clean, with a focus on counter seats, making it easy for female customers to enter. The menu mainly consists of local Chinese dishes but also has a touch of Akasaka. I plan to visit again.

This is a stylish dumpling restaurant where you can see inside the shop well from the outside. The interior has a counter and tables with an open kitchen. It's a unique counter table layout that I haven't seen before. The staff are young and lively. The main dumplings are meaty and delicious.

I visited this restaurant after hearing about it from an acquaintance. I don't usually go to Akasaka, so I was a bit nervous about the night atmosphere, but this place had a bright and stylish vibe from the outside, making it easy to enter. When I arrived, it was still relaxed and I was able to chat with the staff. I tried the recommended grilled dumplings, boiled dumplings, and shumai, followed by minced meat and green pepper, mapo tofu, and wood ear and egg stir-fry, which are typical Chinese restaurant dishes. My favorites were the grilled dumplings and minced meat and green pepper, they went well with a cold beer on a hot day! Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the mapo tofu, but if you like that thick and rich texture, you might love it. I was too full to try the fried rice, so that was a bit disappointing. Thank you for the meal.

I found a shop under construction on my way back from the sauna as usual. Before I knew it, it had opened as "Akasaka Sakura Sakaasu". The bright and stylish shop mainly serves Chinese food, with a focus on gyoza. The signature gyoza and shumai are wrapped right in front of you before being cooked. While there are other items on the menu, some may not be available yet due to a lack of chefs for the wok, but it's a casual and enjoyable place to dine.

I visited the restaurant for the first time. They have an open kitchen where they take orders right in front of you and then wrap the filling in dumpling and shumai skins before steaming or frying them. The dumplings and shumai were incredibly delicious. I love dumplings and shumai, so I instantly became a big fan of the flavor.

A new restaurant just opened in the back streets of Akasaka Mitsuke. The interior and atmosphere were stylishly done. However, even though they had just opened, there were noticeable menu items that were sold out. They should consider revising their menu. The taste was average, and the service for dishes like stir-fry was quite slow (it took around 40-50 minutes).

Tokyo Gyoza Sakura Sakasu, which opened in June 2023, is a stylish restaurant that looks like a bar from the outside. The layout is interesting, with a counter surrounding the kitchen and table seating in the back. I sat at the counter and found the spacing between seats to be comfortable. The menu offers a variety of Chinese dishes, but the gyoza is highly recommended. They have regular, shiso, green chili, and shrimp gyoza, and although they were out of shrimp that day, the others were all delicious. The other dishes were also decent. Overall, the atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasant, making it a great place to dine.

I visited the newly opened Akasaka Sakura Circus. It has a stylish interior and young staff members. The atmosphere is nice. The main dish seems to be gyoza, but honestly the taste is average. There were also foreign customers, and despite struggling, the staff handled them well, which I appreciated. I felt that it is a great place to come with colleagues after work or with a loved one.

I had known for a while that a new store was opening along Misuji Street in Akasaka. It had a stylish feel, so I wondered what kind of store it would be... To my surprise, it turned out to be a Chinese restaurant! Upon researching, it seemed to be a trendy, modern Chinese restaurant. So I decided to visit on the opening day. The first thing that caught my attention was the sign placed at the entrance stairs, making it difficult to enter the store. Although it's a street-level store and the interior is clearly visible from outside, the store is quite spacious. There are counter seats and table seats. I was seated at the counter closest to the entrance, but the narrow space behind the counter was quite concerning. The design of the entrance and flow seemed quite haphazard for a newly opened store. Now, let's order!... I thought, but when I looked at the menu, more than half of the dishes were sold out. Even the popular dumplings had several items out of stock, making me question why they opened at this time. The menu options available for ordering were quite limited. - Draft beer (490 yen) I started with a beer. The price was 490 yen, slightly cheaper for Akasaka. However, it took quite a long time for the beer to arrive, highlighting the operational shortcomings. - Stir-fried garlic chive omelette (740 yen) I tried various dishes. The garlic chive omelette was fluffy and flavorful, very delicious. But the portion was small and the price was a bit high. - Cold bell pepper with minced meat miso (450 yen) This is a convenient and tasty appetizer, but the minced meat miso was quite messy and made it difficult to eat. The integration of minced meat miso and bell pepper was lacking, and the taste was average. - Pan-fried dumplings (450 yen) Lastly, the signature dish, dumplings. The crispy wings were visually appealing and tasted very good. They were not particularly unique but were simply delicious dumplings. Overall, despite being a new store, there were some disappointing aspects such as the slow service and staff response. The interior is very clean, but it doesn't seem to stand out too much. The food was average in taste, yet seemed a bit overpriced. While some may visit once out of curiosity for a new establishment, I may choose another restaurant for a repeat visit. I might consider going back if improvements are made, but based on this experience, I would probably choose another place... I hope for better things in the future.

I heard about this Chinese restaurant in town, and it was indeed not your typical local Chinese place. Located in Akasaka, the atmosphere was very stylish and the staff were all young and trendy. They provided great service and I had a good impression overall. The dishes were classic but delicious as expected, and they were served hot right after being cooked in front of us. They were flexible in accommodating my dislike for spicy food, which I really appreciated.

The entrance was open and inviting. The interior of the restaurant was so clean and had a great atmosphere, it didn't feel like a dumpling shop. The dumplings were juicy and delicious, perfect with beer! However, the rating of 3.5 is because the other menu items were a bit lacking. There weren't many options besides dumplings. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, very tasty and highly recommended!

The store is new and clean, with a lively atmosphere. They carefully wrap and grill each dumpling by hand on the spot. The filling is homemade, and you can taste the sweetness of the vegetables.

There is a red star!
