Super delicious

We had a plate of different gyozas and it was absolutely delicious. Staff and place is very nice as well. Totally recommend visiting if you’re into gyozas.

Amazing! 美味しい!

Not only was the food super delicious, with flavorful filling in each dumpling, but the staff was super friendly! I love the place's vibes and would love to come back again! If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by for some delicious dumplings! 😋

Pros: Delicious gyoza!, Friendly staff, Chill atmosphere/vibes

A must in Tokyo!

Every flavour was delicious and distinct. We shared the set of 11 but could have eaten a set each. Rushed here at 8.45pm on our last night in Tokyo! Thankfully it was fine to order before 9pm, as long as we left by 9.30pm. Really friendly staff member. Beautifully presented and so tasty!! 🌈🥟

Colourful & Delicious

We rushed to this place and arrived thirty minutes before they closed, just in time for last orders.

The staff and chef were extremely friendly and the Gyozas lived up to the hype.

We ordered two of each flavour and our favourites were definitely the garlic and shiitake ones.

Worth a trip if you're even remotely nearby, we got a bus here after visiting Sensō-ji temple.

Pros: Gyozas

Sooooo good!!

The best vegan gyoza I have found in Tokyo - worth the trek to get there. So good and flavourful that you don’t even need a dipping sauce. Favourites were the the shiitake and Chinese chives.

Best gyoza I’ve ever had, ever

If you visit Tokyo and love gyoza, you have to visit! 11 different types (technically 12, but one was sold out), and every single one was delicious. I’m glad I went here last because I got an extra set for the morning (that I was flying out), and another extra set to eat during my layover! 🤣 I think this is definitely one of my favorites. I’ll for sure come back.

Pros: Fantastic gyoza, Good price, Delicious

Our first Tokyo experience - and it was fab

We arrived in Tokyo after a long and delayed flight...and vegan gyoza was a wonderful start to our stay. We walked some way to get there and we're so happy it was open. Service was super lovely and the gyozas were fabulous. Every type was excellent. As we left the skies opened with rain and the server gave us two umbrellas . What a start to our trip 💕

Simple, fun, delicious

This place is a no brainer. Just order the gyoza set and get ready for a delicious meal. The gyoza are beautiful and it’s a pleasure to experience each flavor one at a time. The owner is very friendly and is a long time vegan herself. The restaurant is no frills (but stylish and clean) but manages to entertain with its various gyoza varieties.

Pros: Sample many flavors in one meal, Filling at a decent price, Friendly staff

Flawless

This treasure is a masterclass in the diversity of the vegan palette. Each carefully selected gyoza is distinctly different from the next, not only in taste, but in color with no preservatives, artificial food coloring, and no animal products.

The bold decision to serve with no dipping sauce is best appreciated with the steamed gyoza, so choose that option when ordering. Upon finishing, you may need a moment to savor the small, sudden explosions of flavor you just experienced in order to truly take in the full experience. Luckily, the staff is more than accommodating for just that. I didn’t see a single person just grab or gulp their gyoza and go. All lingered.

The only thing that was perplexing was that all patrons were foreigners. Even as time passed, locals would check out the posted menu, and even peek inside but none stayed & ordered. I sincerely hope this was just a time of day thing, because this place must be supported and protected at all costs.

Pros: Steamed Gyoza , Matcha, Dark Stouts

Great review, couldn’t agree more. Although there was a few travelers when I went I did see locals dining there as well (both times). Hopefully vegetarianism and veganism continues to grow in Japan. Seems to have some momentum at the moment!

Top 3 places in Tokyo

Wow. I don't really need to add a review because it is going to say the same thing as everyone else. This place really is great.

I thought they looked like ordinary gyozas and I was hesitant when I saw that they don't come with sauce but after the first bite, I was hooked. The gyozas are perfectly cooked, the dough is thick in the best way and the ingredients inside taste so fresh and flavoursome.

My favourites were the chive dumpling, the soy meat and the garlic, but you can't go wrong with any of them.

It's a bit out of the main area of Tokyo, but I would recommend this place to anyone to visit. After being in Tokyo for a month, this is definitely in my top 3 places to eat at.

Pros: Freshness, absolutely perfect flavours , Cute restaurant in the residential area

Cons: Not close to touristy area

Good gyoza

You have the option to have your gyoza fried or not fried. We had both and the fried version was still quite healthy. Each gyoza is different so it's fun to try them all. A few of them were on the plain side, but some were very flavourful. Vegan strawberry matcha was amazing. The staff is great and spoke English well.

Cons: Matcha in plastic, but Japan is not eco friendly

Highly recommend for lunch!

Great spot for vegan gyoza! The server recommended a tasting dish that comes with one of each flavor of gyoza and it was so fun to try them all. In quiet area so was very nice for lunch. We then walked to a shopping street and the Asakusa area afterwards.

Best Gyozas I've had

I've been twice already in the short time I was in Tokyo. The second time I wasn't even close but I made the train trip just to get me some more, I think that says it all!

The gyozas are delicious, I really recommend the 11 piece set (I had them steamed) for one person so you get to taste all the different kinds of gyoza. They are very unique and you can tell the ingredients are good quality.

The blond woman with glasses who I saw both times is super friendly and kind, which makes the experience even better. Wish this place was in my city!!

Pros: Good price, Nice vibe (it has a lovely terrace ++at night), Great service

Cons: None in my opinion

Incredible Gyoza

Really delicious gyoza with a variety of fillings. My partner and I took a mixed plate of steamed and one of fried. Both were really great! Price was great for the portion size!

My only criticism would be that all the dumplings have soy meat and it may be nice to have more variety and give people some non-soy options.

Best gyoza

This cafe offers the best gyoza I’ve ever had. We ordered the set which included 11 gyozas. My favorites were the kimchi gyoza and the miso gyozas. We also ordered the strawberry soda - it was very good and not too sweet. Staff were also extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend visiting this place during your visit to Tokyo.

Pros: All vegan , Delicious, Good prices
