This dimly lit restaurant was crowded when we went on a Sunday night and a snaking queue formed behind us shortly after we arrived. Fortunately, we only had to wait for 15 mins before we were shuffled in to our seats.
The food menu was limited and focused mainly on gyozas, with a small selection of appetizers. After all, they are the gyoza specialists.
We started off with 2 appetisers: Cucumber with miso sauce (250 yen) and beansprouts with minced meat (250 yen). The cucumber, thickly sliced and drenched with miso dressing tasted really refreshing. We enjoyed it so much that we even ordered another serving. However, the beansprouts tasted ordinary and the meat sauce tasted somewhat like Chinese style zhajiangmian.
We order both the meat gyoza and the vegetable gyoza (5 pieces/250 yen) which were excellent. The skin was thin with its base fried to a crisp. The filling was also very juicy. Most importantly, it doesn't taste greasy at all. To be very honest, they were so good that we couldn't tell the difference between the meat and vegetable gyoza. The skin was particularly delectable and it definitely made the gyozas some of the best we ever had. Cold beer went splendidly with the food.
If you are in the area of Harajuku in Tokyo, I highly recommend to give this place a try!
