I felt like eating gyoza for dinner, so I came to "Hakata Gion Tetsu Nabe" around 8:15 pm. I arrived just in time for their last order at 8:30 pm due to their shortened hours. I sat at the counter and was asked how many orders of gyoza I wanted. I ordered "2 orders of gyoza." Then I ordered a draft beer, specifically Premium Malt. From the counter seat, I could see the gyoza being cooked. They were fried with plenty of oil, then transferred to a hot plate. They arrived in about 8 minutes! I prepared the gyoza sauce with chili oil, red pepper, and yuzu pepper. The gyoza skin was crispy, but the filling was moist and delicious. Once I started eating the tasty gyoza, I couldn't stop. I finished them in no time. Thank you for the meal. There were signs everywhere saying "No photography allowed inside the restaurant," but it was okay to take photos of the food.

Famous restaurant in Hakata. I've been wanting to try it for a while and this was my first visit. The gyoza size is on the smaller side. They're not very juicy, but they have a nice chewy texture and are still delicious. We ordered 5 servings of the iron pot gyoza for 2500 yen (40 gyoza). It's a bit pricey, but there were about 15 people in line at 7pm.

I went to Tetsu Nabe in Hakata on a business trip without hesitation, arriving before 6 pm. There was already a wait of about 4 groups, but the turnover was fast and we were able to enter quickly. Due to the busy crowd, we were unable to order additional gyoza, so we ordered 3 servings for 2 people! We also ordered the Hakata specialty "okyuto". The gyoza are bite-sized and you can eat them quickly. I tried okyuto for the first time, and it tasted like konjac, refreshing and delicious. This restaurant is great for a quick drink and you can move on to the next place easily. Most importantly, the food is delicious! Definitely a must-visit when in Hakata!

There is a revolution happening in the dumpling world. People who are not good at dealing with auntie-like service might not enjoy it, but it didn't bother me, so ⭐︎5! The service is friendly, like talking to a friendly grandma. The dumplings have a punchy filling and are small in size, making it easy to eat them quickly. If you can usually finish two servings easily, you should order about four servings! (Additional dumpling orders are not available when it's busy! It's pretty much always crowded haha) I will definitely visit again!

I felt like having some random gyoza, so I decided to visit "Hakata Gion Tetsu Nabe," which was selected as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog. I finished work early and headed there using Google Maps. The restaurant is located near Hakata Police Station, down a one-way street off the main road. I arrived at 5:10 PM, and despite the early weekday hour, there were already 3 people waiting in line. As soon as I joined the line, more people lined up behind me, and the queue grew longer. I thought I might have to wait for about 30 minutes for one turn, but surprisingly, after just 10 minutes, 7-8 people were seated all at once. The spacious interior of the restaurant was unexpected from the outside. About two-thirds of the seats were filled, and it seemed like they were staggering the seating to avoid overcrowding. There were counter seats, table seats, and tatami seats at the back. Although I was dining alone, the counter was full, so I was lucky to be seated at a tatami room for four. The staff instructed the customers who were seated with me to first order drinks and the number of gyoza plates they wanted. They also mentioned that due to the crowd, gyoza orders were limited to one per person. When it was my turn, I ordered two servings of pan-fried gyoza and, anticipating a wait, also ordered octopus sashimi and a rock of sweet potato shochu. The menu didn't specify the brand of shochu, but the sweet potato shochu and octopus sashimi were served promptly. I thought they would be small dishes, but they were surprisingly well-prepared dishes that could easily be served in a small izakaya. The octopus sashimi, lightly seasoned with shichimi pepper, went well with the sweet potato shochu. As I leisurely enjoyed my meal, I looked around the restaurant and noticed numerous photos and autographs covering the walls, indicating the popularity of the restaurant among locals and tourists. The gyoza served in an iron pot resembled fried gyoza. The crispy outer skin gave way to a juicy filling with a distinct meaty texture. The chives also played a significant role. I would like to try it with the restaurant's special yuzu pepper or spicy condiments. I added one more small plate to try, and it was also delicious. The bottled beer I added went well with the gyoza. The total bill was 2,460 yen. By the time I left, the restaurant was full, and there was a line forming outside. I enjoyed my meal. Thank you.

Visited on a Friday after 8:00 PM. The place was bustling with tourists, but we were able to get a seat without waiting in line. However, once seated, we had to wait for over 5 minutes before being served. The famous iron pot dumplings were only available for the first order. They recommended ordering more than one serving, as typically people order 2 or 3 servings. We ordered 2 servings and the crispy hot dumplings were different from the usual ones. They are small and crispy, almost like fried dumplings. Eating them with yuzu pepper and dumpling sauce is a great match for beer. Personally, I prefer the regular dumplings.

Visited one of the top 100 gyoza shops in 2019 and 2021 in search of the famous bite-sized gyoza from Hakata. Visited around 9:20 PM on a Monday. About half of the seats were taken. I was guided to a counter seat. The staff explained that gyoza cannot be ordered later, so be careful. Since I planned to visit a few more shops afterwards, I ordered lightly: - Grilled gyoza (8 pieces) 500 yen - Ultra carbonated angle highball 420 yen Total 920 yen. The highball arrived a few minutes after ordering. I sipped on it while waiting for the gyoza. The gyoza arrived after 5 minutes. The skin was crispy, and the inside was juicy. It was too hot to eat quickly, so I enjoyed it slowly while sipping on the highball. It was just the right amount to hop to the next shop. The gyoza was delicious and I could have eaten more. Thank you for the meal.

The small-sized dumplings are served on a hot iron plate. It takes a bit of time for the dumplings to come out, so in the meantime, I enjoyed some vinegar motsu with bottled beer. The vinegar motsu paired well with the beer and was very satisfying. I planned to go to another place afterwards, so I resisted ordering more. The dumplings were delicious, especially with yuzu pepper.

Gion Tetsunabe in Hakata, Fukuoka City★★★★ This time I went on a Fukuoka expedition and found myself around Hakata Station with no specific plans, and ended up here! Wow, there's a long line... waited for about 30 minutes to get in. Excited about the quaint atmosphere here✨... This time, I had: - Grilled Gyoza (3 servings) This is a must-try! Started off with a draft beer while waiting, and the beer after the wait tasted amazing✨ Soon, the dish arrived! The gyoza was neatly arranged in a small, round iron pot, perfectly grilled to a crispy texture on the outside. The filling inside had a strong garlic flavor! Completely different from the small gyoza in Osaka in terms of texture! These are the type you can keep popping into your mouth! They were so delicious that I would definitely want to have them again. Thank you for the meal!‍♂️ Location: 2-20 Gionmachi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka #GionTetsunabe #FukuokaGourmet #HakataGourmet #KyushuGourmet #Gyoza #Gourmet #GyozaSpecialtyShop #HakataGion #GyozaLunch #Tabelog #Delicious #FoodPorn #Hakata #Gion #Foodstagram #WantToConnectWithFoodies #tmzoooGourmet

During our trip to Hakata, my boyfriend and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday. We arrived after 8 pm and only had to wait for about 5-6 minutes, which was quicker than expected. When we left before 9 pm, there was already a line forming, so it might be easier to get in around 8 pm. We ordered some drinks and gyoza, getting two servings of 8 pieces each. The staff warned us that it might not be enough, so we ended up ordering a total of three servings. It was the right decision because the gyoza was so delicious that we could easily eat them in one bite. The outside was crispy while the inside was packed with ingredients, and the flavor of the garlic chives was especially good. I will definitely visit this restaurant again on my next trip to Hakata!

I visited around 7:00 p.m. on a weekday. There was a line in front of the store, probably because it was summer vacation season. I waited for about 10 minutes and then entered. I ordered chicken wings, potato salad, and all of them were decent in taste. Be careful with the amount of gyoza you order, as you can only order it once per visit. The gyoza was hot and easy to eat in one bite, making it delicious. If you are in the area, be sure to visit.

Taking photos of the food was allowed. The gyoza was crispy and crunchy, not greasy but light. The potato salad, vinegar dish, and chicken wings were also delicious. My favorite was the tea pickles for the finale. Mixing wasabi and pickled radish together was so satisfying!

I lined up for about an hour around 5 p.m. on a regular day, but the restaurant is spacious so the turnover is not bad. The dumplings are bite-sized, so my friend and I ordered 5 servings (about 40 pieces) with rice and miso soup, along with potato salad and tomato as side dishes. We were told that additional dumpling orders were not possible that day due to a shortage of staff. The staff members seemed a bit tense and had a strong tone, but I didn't mind because the dumplings were delicious. The interior of the restaurant was filled with photos and signs, showing its popularity. The dumplings themselves had a crispy skin and juicy filling, and were very tasty. The sauce was a bit tangy, and I prefer soy sauce with my dumplings, so I would have been happy if some was provided. Overall, it was a delicious meal!

I visited this restaurant during my trip to Fukuoka. I arrived on a Friday evening after 7pm and there were 3 groups ahead of me, but I was seated within 10 minutes. The interior of the restaurant is filled with autographs and photos of celebrities, but taking pictures seemed to be prohibited. I ordered 4 servings of grilled dumplings for 4 people, and even though each dumpling was small, my party of 2 finished all 4 servings easily! The dumplings were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and piping hot, making them so delicious that we couldn't stop eating. I highly recommend this place if you visit Fukuoka. Thank you for the meal!

- Grilled dumplings for 3 people: ¥500 - Spicy cod roe: ¥630 - Simmered chicken wings: ¥300 - Potato salad: ¥520 - Grated yam: ¥420 - Spicy herring: ¥450 The iron pot dumplings were perfect as a snack with alcohol. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The delicious gyoza with plenty of chives is small and can be eaten by two people with a crunch. They are cooked in an iron pot, giving them a nice crispy texture. The skin is crispy and fragrant. The simmered chicken wings are also recommended! Very delicious. The restaurant seems to be very popular as it was crowded inside!

I went to Fukuoka for the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival! Thanks to my local friends who made a reservation at a famous dumpling restaurant, we were able to enter without waiting in line! There was a long line by 7:00 PM. The walls inside the restaurant were covered with photos of celebrities. I found out later that taking photos was prohibited. The dumplings were small and the filling was different from usual, but I couldn't quite tell how. They were delicious when eaten with a mix of yuzu pepper and sauce. There were many other delicious dishes shown in the photos, but I was too drunk to remember. It's definitely worth trying out famous restaurants with long lines when in Hakata! Highly recommended!

We really wanted to eat gyoza at the second party and visited as a group. It was a weekday night, but the restaurant was full with people waiting. Since it was a second party, we ordered 5 servings for 4 people and quickly washed it down with highballs. The gyoza was always hot, crispy, and delicious!

Finally got into the popular restaurant with a long line of about 12 people waiting at 6:35 pm. It took about 23 minutes to get inside and we were seated at the counter in the front. Ordered 2 servings of pan-fried dumplings and had to order a drink, so I got Ramune. Everything arrived in about 8 minutes. As for the taste, the dumpling skin was more crispy than crunchy, almost like it was deep-fried. The filling had a nice garlic flavor and tasted good. The Ramune was just average. Paid 1,220 yen in cash and headed back to the hotel.

A favorite iron pot dumpling restaurant within walking distance from Hakata Station. I went after having a snack, as there is usually a line during meal times. Since it was close to closing time, they told us we couldn't order anything else after the last order. We ordered a highball and two servings of iron pot dumplings, and after a few minutes, the hot iron plate arrived. I have a high tolerance for heat, so I can handle hot food pretty well. I quickly ate two freshly made dumplings and drank the highball. Thank you very much. It was a fantastic night.

Delicious. The skin is crispy, and the filling is full of chives. In addition to the sauce, there was also yuzu kosho available, which added a nice touch. The yuzu kosho had a strong yuzu flavor, which paired well with the dumplings. The side potato salad and simmered chicken wings were also tasty. It was so delicious that I finished it in no time. I skipped lunch, so I ordered three servings, but since each one is small, it was easy to finish them all.
