While on the move, I got hungry so I had a large miso tanmen and a large fried rice at Gyoza Manchuria's Esaka Factory Direct Store. Even though they were both large portions, the total was only 1200 yen, making it a great deal in this era of price hikes. Gyoza Manchuria Esaka Factory Direct Store, 27-16 Enokicho, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture.

When I was at a loss for dinner alone, I decided to visit a gyoza restaurant called Manchuria that I had been curious about. Since the name of the restaurant includes gyoza, I ordered one gyoza, ramen, and stir-fried vegetables. The impression is similar to the Chinese restaurants like Osho or Tohshu, but I thought it would be a good option when passing by in a car as they have a parking lot. However, the parking lot is not very large, and there have been times when I couldn't park, so it might be something to be cautious about depending on the timing. The gyoza seemed to have a strong garlic flavor, which I also liked. It was a satisfying and filling dinner. Thank you for the meal.

I came to Gyosan in Manchuria for the first time. I will eat dumplings. It is a dumpling with a thick and chewy skin and a light filling with lots of vegetables. It doesn't have garlic, so it doesn't have the punch of garlic dumplings, but it feels healthy. It is finely chopped pork and green pepper. The green pepper is crunchy. It also contains bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms. It is stir-fried pork liver with leeks. Pork liver, bean sprouts, leeks, carrots, and wood ear mushrooms are stir-fried until crispy. It is sauce yakisoba. It is yakisoba from a Chinese restaurant, different from okonomiyaki restaurant yakisoba. It is Manchurian ramen. It is a ramen often seen at highway service areas and ski resort cafeterias. It doesn't have a punch, but it is the type that you can eat without getting tired. I chose brown rice as the rice option. 27-16 Eno-cho, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture.

I was driving south towards Osaka Kita area and stopped by this restaurant because it wasn't too far off the route and had good parking. It had been over 5 years since I last visited the Manchuria branch in Kyobashi, so I almost forgot how the food tasted (laughs). But in conclusion, it's still a great place with reasonable prices and delicious food, perfect for us common folks. We arrived right at opening time and the parking lot was almost full, showing how popular it is. We sat at a table at the back and ordered vegetable stir-fry set with small rice for 830 yen (tax included) for my companion, and fried rice and dumplings set for 780 yen (tax included) for myself, both very reasonably priced. The dumplings arrived first, a bit thick-skinned but juicy and delicious with a nice balance of flavors. The Manchurian dumplings have a taste and texture that I really enjoy! Soon after, the fried rice was served, lightly crispy yet moist and well-cooked with simple but tasty ingredients. My companion also enjoyed their vegetable stir-fry. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely visit again. ^ ^

Arrived at Paul at 10:55 on January 3rd, opened at 11, and left at 11:25. Had a 20% full bowl of tantanmen (half portion), 6 gyoza, and half of drooling chicken for 800 yen + 450 yen. It was delicious, especially the gyoza. I think I prefer double gyoza with rice, similar to Miyoshi's gyoza style. I look forward to coming back someday. Thank you for the meal.

After celebrating with a toast at Esaka Toriki, we decided to end the night with a visit to Manshu for some frozen dumplings to take home. We always rely on Manshu for their delicious dumplings, but this was actually our first time dining in. We ordered the small portion of Tianjin rice with dumplings for ¥820. The Tianjin rice had perfectly cooked eggs and opting for a small size saved us ¥30, which was nice. The dumplings were as chewy and tasty as always! My wife and I shared a medium bottle of beer for ¥550, and later tried the "Super Chuhai" for ¥390. It was a bit weak in carbonation, almost like lemon water, but it turned out to be a sugar-free lemon chuhai. Regardless, it was refreshing and delicious. Next time, I'd like to try a variety of appetizers at the first stop. Thank you for the meal!

It's located a short walk from Esaka Station. I wanted to have a casual drink during the day and eat some dumplings, so I came here. We toasted with bottled beer. The dumplings had thick skins but were chewy. The lettuce dumplings were surprisingly light even though they were fried rice. The mouth-watering chicken was delicious with plenty of green onions. Thank you for the meal.

Yesterday's lunch, I went to "Gyoza no Manchuria" for the first time in a while. "Gyoza no Manchuria" is originally a chain restaurant centered in Saitama Prefecture in the Kanto region, but they have expanded to Kansai by setting up a factory in Esaka and opening stores in the surrounding area. The menu is rich with not only gyoza but also various side dishes and noodles, and the prices are reasonable. Everything I have tried there has been delicious without any disappointments. This time, I had miso ramen and gyoza. The gyoza had a chewy skin and was delicious. The miso ramen was full of vegetables and had a good texture in the noodles, also very tasty. It's nice that you can choose between white rice and brown rice for health-conscious options. I enjoyed a delicious meal at a reasonable price. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I ran out of dinner ideas and decided to eat out inexpensively, so I went to Manchuria for some gyoza, which I haven't had in a while. I ordered my go-to dish, the "addictive bowl" set. I chose brown rice this time, which I don't usually eat. The perfect balance of spicy and delicious flavors in Chinese cuisine made the brown rice taste really good without any unpleasant aftertaste. The gyoza was also delicious, with chewy skin and a light, gentle filling. Compared to typical Chinese cuisine, it was quite light, but that made it satisfying without getting tired of it, and it seems to be gentle on the body. It was quite crowded on a Saturday night, and I noticed many people with small children. It seems that people appreciate being able to enjoy a safe and affordable meal.

I had a slightly late lunch here on a certain day in April 2021 during the pandemic, so please be aware that there may be closures or changes in operating hours. I had salt ramen and gyoza for 700 yen. The salt ramen had thin noodles with toppings like chashu, seaweed, seasoned egg, bamboo shoots, and green onions. The simple yet delicious soup was very appetizing. The gyoza had a chewy skin filled with minced meat, garlic, chives, cabbage, and other ingredients. Personally, I really enjoyed the taste. Thank you for the meal!

Today is my day off, but I spent all my time and energy on year-end cleaning, so I don't have the energy to cook dinner. I decided to go for an easy and casual meal at Manchuria for some gyoza. I had the addictive bowl and, although not shown in the picture, some gyoza as well. The dishes here have a Chinese cuisine vibe with a light and gentle touch, rather than a heavy and powerful taste. The addictive bowl, a favorite of mine, was as delicious as always. The reasonable prices here are also a plus.

I visited during lunchtime on a regular day. I had never tried the Gyoza at Manchuria before, so I was curious about what it would be like. There were 2 groups ahead of me, so I had to wait as the third customer to be seated. I had heard that the place was always busy, and now I understand why. Even when there were empty seats here and there, they wouldn't seat customers, and the food took a while to come out after ordering. I was worried that my lunch break would be over before I got my food. So, it's best to go with some extra time to spare. I ordered the "Miso Ramen" (539 yen) and the "Gyoza" (253 yen). The Miso Ramen was quite ordinary. I prefer my miso to be a bit stronger, but considering the price, it was decent. The Gyoza was surprisingly light. It reminded me of the filling in a meat bun. The skin was a bit thicker, giving it a chewy texture. It was lighter compared to what you would get at a chain like Osho. It was a different kind of Gyoza, and it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

A Kanto-style Chinese chain restaurant. It opened in my neighborhood a few years ago and I have become familiar with it. I bought takeout fresh dumplings for ¥320, but they were on sale for ¥255. There were 12 large dumplings in the pack, which was a great deal! The skin is thick and chewy, with a mild garlic flavor. They are not too strong, making them easy to eat. I realized I have never eaten here at EI. They have a Tianjin-style rice dish that is only available in Kansai, so I want to try it out when the weather gets cooler and go for drinks by walking there.

I visited the Manchuria Gyoza restaurant in Esaka. There are about 10 parking spaces next to the store. I went at night and there was no wait, I was seated at a table right away. I ordered Tianjin rice, gyoza, soy sauce ramen, and stir-fry using the touch panel. The Tianjin rice was so-so, and the gyoza was not delicious. It's supposed to be a gyoza specialty restaurant... Among other Chinese chain restaurants in the area, I don't feel like coming back for this taste. Thank you for the meal. (Visit rating 3.07, 32 reviews)

This is a delicious gyoza with a chewy skin! I bought gyoza for takeout only! With COVID, I have to avoid eating out, so preparing meals every day is tough! Thank you for the help! It's a great shop for those who live nearby! They have a parking lot so it's easy to stop by. I also bought some when I came by car. You have to eat it on the same day if you refrigerate it. They also have frozen ones. You can also eat in the shop, so I want to go again! I heard that Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays are gyoza sale days!江坂工場駅前店06-6155-6022

■ September 2019 ■ On a weekday night, we visited at a decent time and surprisingly it wasn't too crowded. There were a few couples around our age. Is it common for couples our age to go out for dinner like this? I ordered the Spicy Vegetable Noodles and Gyoza set, while my wife had the Sauce Yakisoba and we shared a small portion of Fried Rice. The Fried Rice was delicious, but as for the Spicy Vegetable Noodles, the soup lacked flavor and depth. I couldn't quite figure out what the base of the soup was. It gave me a similar impression to the ramen I had last time. The Gyoza had a nice crispy texture, but the filling seemed lacking in flavor. Is this what they mean by a light taste? Overall, these are just my personal impressions. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I made a detour to Gyo Man on my way home from work~(￣▽￣) Weekends are definitely for gyoza, right? (≧▽≦)b! Gyo Man has been open for a few years now, but it seems like they are struggling to attract customers lately. When I visited during dinner time, the place was only about 30-40% full. I was seated at the empty counter when I entered. Here is what I ordered on this day: - Draft beer (fair price of 432 yen) ← Not really a great deal - Seasoned boiled egg (86 yen) - Kimchi half portion (86 yen) - Gyoza (248 yen) - Stir-fried vegetables (378 yen) I tend to order similar items each time, but I really love the stir-fried dishes at Gyo Man♥ I was tempted by the liver and leek stir-fry that I used to order often, but this time I went for the healthy option of stir-fried vegetables (laughs) and it's only 378 yen, which is a steal! By the way, the stir-fried vegetables at Kyoto Ohsho cost 442 yen, so you can see how much cheaper it is here. - Stir-fried vegetables: The Chinese-style flavor with plenty of oyster sauce is great! The vegetables still have a nice crunch to them, and chewing them well really stimulates the feeling of being full! (laughs) - Gyoza: I had it with vinegar and pepper this time, but since these gyoza have a light flavor with lots of vegetables, they go better with vinegar soy sauce and chili oil rather than just vinegar and pepper. - Seasoned boiled egg, Kimchi: These are both less than 100 yen, so they are perfect for snacking while waiting for the main dishes or when you want a little something extra. There was a note on the menu saying "Enjoy the perfect foam of Premium Malts," but the foam wasn't that great. By the way, the last photo is of a non-alcoholic beer "Zero Ichi," which had amazing foam! Maybe I can become a beer pouring master too (laughs). Now that I'm full, it's a short walk of about an hour back home. I'll definitely come back for more stir-fried dishes. Thank you.

The regular rice portion is large so be careful. It was too much for me as a middle-aged person. The taste is good. The dumplings have a chewy skin and a lot of filling, so it may be a matter of personal preference. I prefer smaller dumplings with a crispy skin since I enjoy drinking alcohol, but I think these would go well with rice. I took home some fresh refrigerated dumplings and cooked them at home, and the chewy skin that doesn't fail to crisp up when cooked is really appreciated. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I had a bit of a rough time at work and felt like having a drink on my way home. I decided to stop by Gyoza-ya after a long time and... Oh my goodness! The restaurant was extremely crowded. The place was about 70% full, with empty tables still cluttered with the previous customers' dishes. People were wandering around near the cashier, and the quiet atmosphere from before was nowhere to be found. I stood near the cashier, but no one greeted me. When a staff member finally appeared, they walked past me without saying a word and headed straight to the freezer next to the entrance. They casually took out frozen gyoza and started packing them in bags. Ah, I see. Today is "Gyoza Day" and takeaway gyoza are on sale! The gyoza from this place somehow tastes better when you take them home and cook them yourself. For a moment, I considered changing my order to takeaway, but I couldn't resist the temptation of the liver and leek stir-fry and ended up waiting. Later, when four people lined up behind me, the staff finally realized the seriousness of the situation and spoke up. I managed to get a seat and ordered the liver and leek stir-fry, gyoza, and a super shochu highball. Wait a minute... considering the circumstances, I decided to play it safe and added a chilled tofu to my order. It turned out to be a great decision! - Super Shochu Highball - Chilled Tofu I added soy sauce and chili oil to the chilled tofu. It gives a slightly spicy Sichuan-style flavor (laughs). The liver and leek stir-fry arrived in about 10 minutes, as expected. The chilled tofu, my safety measure, worked great as a companion to the super shochu highball (laughs). - Liver and Leek Stir-fry Perhaps due to the busy time, the stir-frying was a bit sloppy. There were more burnt parts than usual (laughs). This liver and leek stir-fry contains plenty of liver and is quite voluminous yet reasonably priced. It has become my go-to item when drinking at Gyoza-ya. Finally, after a 5-minute delay, the gyoza arrived. - Gyoza These gyoza have a generous amount of vegetables and are juicy. The slightly thicker and chewy skin compared to other chain restaurants is commendable. Hmm, for some reason, homemade gyoza still taste better! However, the restaurant was bustling that day. The next day, when I passed by again, it was surprisingly quiet. Truly Osaka-style (laughs). The difference in discounts between "when they're available" and "when they're not" is quite significant (laughs). Well, after a quick drink, I think I'll walk a bit more before heading home. Thank you.

I am the head of the Lunch Exploration Department. This time, I visited Manchuria, a gyoza restaurant in Esaka, Osaka. It is a chain restaurant originating from Saitama and known for being 30% delicious. This particular branch is directly managed by the Esaka factory. It seems that the factory has expanded to Kansai. I ordered the gyoza and rice set for 400 yen. The gyoza has a slightly thick skin with a firm texture. The sear on the outside is also well done. The filling is made with coarsely ground pork, giving it a strong umami flavor. Personally, I really like these gyoza. The rice is cooked on the firmer side. The soup varies by day, either egg drop soup or soy sauce soup. It is affordable, the portion size is just right, making it convenient. Thank you for the meal.
