What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the exceptional gyoza, describing them as crispy, juicy, and flavorful, often compared to soup dumplings. The relaxed atmosphere and friendly service enhance the dining experience, though some recent reviews suggest a decline in quality for certain items.
"Around 15 min walk from Utsunomiyai JR station, but it's worth it. It has a chilled atmosphere to relax and have a pint of beer with gyoza. They have a bunch of flavours for you to choose from and they all taste awesome. Plus great service, with the waitress teaching you the right ratio of vinegar to soy sauce for the dip."

"Yummy flavourful gyoza with a thin dough and tasty filling. We ordered the rice menu set, and were surprised at the large portions."
Sofia Roberts
"The service is the best.
One of the probable the best Gyoza I have ever tried.
Gyoza is crisp on the outside, very juicy with the soup inside, a bit similar to Soup dumplings. The fillings is savory and mildly sweet.
Served in very satisfied portion and in very cheap price."
