We loved it!

There are lots of gyoza to choose from and they were all packed with flavour. I especially enjoyed the garlic, the chive, the ginger, and the eggplant… oh whose kidding I liked them all.

Pros: Yum, Friendly staff

Incredible selection

Having tried every flavour of gyoza (steamed) on the menu I can happily say this was the best gyoza I've ever had. With the amount of flavours you might not expect much variation but every flavour was unique and impactful - I definitely recommend trying the full course to find your favourite!
The owner was also very friendly and the restaurant is located in a nice little residential spot not too far from Ueno.

Pros: Flavours, Service, Ambiance

Absolutely fantastic

The absolute best meal we had in Tokyo, hands down. Every flavour was interesting, even the ones I typically don’t enjoy were outstanding.

Edit: it was so good I was craving it three weeks later so we went back again, it was almost better the second time around. Just so so SO good. Thank you!

Delicious lunch set!

We split the 11 gyoza set between two people for lunch. We got the steamed version and loved it! The staff were incredibly kind and appreciative of us dining there.

Pros: Great service, Great flavor, Cute restaurant

Best gyozas!! 🥟

Went back in May and just wow, these were the best gyozas I’ve ever tasted so far! Wide variety of flavours, colourful, and overall very satisfying. And the matcha drinks? My sister and I ordered two sets of them cause they were that good haha they also had a variety of matcha mixes so you can choose which one suits your palate😄Please go there if you ever visit Tokyo, Japan!

Heavenly!

We arrived late in the evening and had a plate of steamed and a plate of fried gyoza that were the best I’ve had!
Each gyoza is focused on a single ingredient (ginger, mushroom, eggplant, etc) and the flavours are so distinct and clear.
The staff are really friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and energised.
I’d highly recommend.

A gem

I was excited to visit a gyoza house while in Tokyo, and even more excited to see they have a vegan one. I ordered each flavor they had which was 11. Going into this I thought they would pretty much all taste the same. Not true. You can taste the clear distinction between each piece. I ordered mine pan fried and they were cooked to perfection. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Disappointed

I sincerely wanted to like this place, and the service was definitely friendly, but it utimately comes off like a gimmick with rainbow-colored gyoza that offer style without substance.

Cons: oily

Amazing experience

Super cool experience and well worth the money. One of the more unique ways to eat vegan in Tokyo and if you love gyoza you will love trying all the different flavors they have completely vegan.

Pros: Presentation , Taste , Staff

One of my fav places in Tokyo

Gyoza is super delicious each one of the has unique flavor. It's fun to eat them one by one, experiencing each flavor. The staff are very nice and kind. I also love their strawberry soy scream matcha drink. I get it every time! Definitely a must when visiting Tokyo. Also they use natural coloring from vegetables. No artificial crap at all!

Pros: Gyoza, Strawberry soy matcha drink , Friendly staff

Flavourful and fun gyoza

Wasn’t planning to have gyoza but was curious to try this out because of the numerous excellent reviews! The gyoza are packed with flavours. Ordered the pan-fried set and was not disappointed. Each gyoza tasted really delicious. Gyoza are fill with plenty of fillings. No sauce needed because they tasted so good. Staff were friendly and can speak english but alittle exchange in Japanese is always nice. Thank you again, this is a rare gem!

Pros: Every single gyoza of course!, An easy walk to the train station, Friendly staff
