We found this palce on Google while looking for Gyozo. We had to wait a little while spot got free but it wasn't much. We tried all Gyozo's they offer (pan fried, boiled and deep fried) and i liked deep fried the most. I don't know what i was expecting but it was okay. Maybe i would like meat inside to be more spicy (like more pepper) and soy sos to be soy sos not soy vinegar... Also i was surprised by pepsi in the glass, but sake i tried was awesome! Vegan option available and well labeled. I loved the atmosphere and the kindness of the staff, we sat at the counter in front of the chef. Pan fried gyoza and ramen were good, but I was in love with fried tofu (it's like an appetizer, small portion). We had to wait in line for about 40min, but in Osaka it's very normal. Don't miss it! Vegetarian Gyoza was cooked to a perfect consistency and perfect bite. Good vegetarian option. Not bad flavor, but feel lacking a bit. The area was quite when I went just before 6 on a Friday, but seemed to be picking up. Menu did list several vegetarian options at reasonable prices.

Great spot in busy Dotonbori area for gyoza and Japanese fried chicken. Coming here again after one year, the dumplings were less crispy than last time but the chicken pieces were bigger. Very generous portion sizes so order sparingly! You can always order seconds later. Drinks are a bit pricey probably to make up for the super affordable food menu. Would recommend trying at least once.

It’s a Gyoza heaven for vegetarians like me!! I visited Japan the second time, and I made sure to come here. Everything here is delicious and flavourful. You can’t miss it if you’re a vegetarian in Japan!
