I wanted to eat freshly made delicious dumplings, so I visited again. I've been wanting to stop by for a long time, but the timing never worked out, so this visit came about six months later. I almost missed the last order, so I placed all my orders at once. This time, I chose regular pan-fried dumplings and cilantro boiled dumplings. For a side dish, I had jellyfish. It was my first time trying both the cilantro dumplings and the jellyfish. Shaoxing wine and pickled vegetables arrived quickly. The dumplings came shortly after. The cilantro dumplings were topped with a lot of cilantro, so I felt like I was enjoying cilantro both inside and out. The flavor of the cilantro wasn’t too overwhelming, and it harmonized beautifully with the refined taste of the boiled dumplings. I think cilantro lovers will really enjoy it. The dumplings, jellyfish, and Shaoxing wine paired well together, allowing me to enjoy dumpling drinking in the unique atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, maintaining just the right distance, making it a comfortable place for solo dining at the counter, while groups also seemed to be having a good time. I look forward to exploring the menu further. Thank you for the meal!

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while, and it is just a one-minute walk from Nerima Station, so my partner and I finally decided to visit. The cozy interior was packed, and we waited for about 10 minutes. There were many types of gyoza, and everything we tried, including the side dishes, was very delicious. The pan-fried gyoza, cilantro gyoza, and chicken ramen were especially excellent. The staff was very friendly, making it a comfortable place to enjoy our meal. I would love to go back if I get the chance.

This restaurant is just a three-minute walk from Nerima Station. It's conveniently located and easy to drop by, yet it definitely offers great value. The standout dish for me was the pan-fried gyoza. The outer layer is crispy and perfectly browned, while the inside is packed with an astonishingly juicy filling. The moment I took a bite, I was blown away by its deliciousness, and I couldn't stop reaching for more. The cooking level is just right, with a fantastic balance between the crispy skin and the chewy dough. Having tried many gyoza in the past, this one is undoubtedly a memorable dish. Additionally, the pickled bamboo shoots served as an appetizer deserve special mention. While they may seem like a simple side dish, here they are exceptional in taste. With a crunchy texture and just the right amount of saltiness, their light flavor beautifully complements the other dishes. And astonishingly, they offer unlimited refills! To think we can enjoy this for free is an extravagant service. I found myself asking for refills multiple times because they were so addictive. I also highly recommend the shrimp mayonnaise. The plump texture of the shrimp is irresistible, and with each bite, the sweetness and umami of the shrimp fill your mouth. The mayonnaise sauce that coats the shrimp is superb, rich yet balanced in a way that doesn’t feel heavy. This perfect combination enhances the shrimp's deliciousness, making it a dish you’ll want to eat again and again. Its overall quality as a single dish is high, and I plan to order it again on my next visit. I tried the boiled gyoza this time, but sadly forgot to take a photo. However, I remember the taste vividly. The boiled gyoza offers a different charm, with a wonderful balance between the chewy skin and the juicy filling. It's simple yet showcases the quality of the ingredients, and I believe it is a must-try as well. This restaurant's popularity is understandable, but it often gets crowded, so reservations are necessary. Especially on weekends and during dinner hours, it's common for it to be fully booked, so I recommend contacting them in advance. The interior has a cozy atmosphere and is very comfortable, with friendly and attentive staff that make the dining experience enjoyable. Overall, every dish has a high level of quality, and just one visit isn't enough to fully appreciate the charm it offers. If you're looking for delicious gyoza or Chinese cuisine near Nerima Station, this is a place you should definitely visit. Next time, I’ll be sure to take photos and try some new menu items!

I decided to quickly have dinner at a restaurant I had been curious about. It was a lively Friday night around 8 PM, and luckily, there were two seats available with no waiting time. In conclusion, the experience greatly exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied! **What I ordered:** - Grilled gyoza (4 pieces) - Boiled gyoza with cilantro (4 pieces) - Boiled gyoza with chives and egg (4 pieces) - Yodare chicken - Spring rolls - Green onion char siu rice bowl - 3 alcoholic drinks for a total of about 5,500 yen. *Note: Pickled bamboo shoots were served as a side dish.* **Impressions:** - The gyoza had amazing juice and was delicious. - The cilantro was fantastic! - The chives and egg gyoza had a unique taste; I might skip it next time and try other gyoza. - The yodare chicken had a great tanginess! The sauce was excellent over the gyoza. - The spring rolls had less sweetness, giving it a more authentic flavor. - The green onion char siu rice bowl was a great way to finish the meal. The yodare chicken sauce complemented it well too. - The staff was super friendly and provided excellent service! Due to the short time I was there, I missed taking several photos. Everything was truly delicious, and I will definitely come back again!

I had been curious about this Chinese restaurant, so I decided to check it out. Upon entering, I found that there were more seats than I expected, and the decor was cute. Looking at the open kitchen, I noticed a white mound—freshly made dumplings! This raised my expectations. Naturally, the main focus is on the boiled dumplings, and I tried all the varieties. The happy hour specials not only included drinks but also some menu items at half price, which was amazing. They had shrimp, scallops, cilantro, shiso, and chives with eggs, among others. The seafood options were particularly delicious. The pan-fried dumplings came with crispy edges, and they were great too. Each dumpling was well-seasoned, so I found that dipping sauce was unnecessary. The homemade chili oil on the table had a rich flavor of small shrimp and was incredibly tasty. I wanted to scoop it up with rice! The drinks included a variety of Chinese teas, while there was only one type each of Shaoxing wine and white liquor. So, I recommend enjoying the boiled dumplings with cocktails or tea highballs. The chicken ramen for the final course had a collagen-rich broth and was delicious, with the portion just right. The staff were cheerful and attentive, so I’ll definitely return when I want to indulge in dumplings again. Thank you for the meal!

We visited the restaurant around 7:30 PM on a weekday without a reservation, with four people. There were no available seats, but the staff told us that we could wait about 30 minutes for a table to open up. After providing our phone number and name, they promised to call us as soon as a table became available. Even though we only mentioned our name on the spot, they placed a name tag on the table for us. The menu featured many delicious-looking options. The regular fried dumplings were tasty, but the cilantro-filled boiled dumplings were especially good. The interior was cute with neon lights, and the glasses had famous quotes from anime written on them, which was amusing.

Everything I ate was delicious, and the staff were bright and friendly, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant definitely felt like a genuine town Chinese eatery, where individual dishes can be somewhat pricey. However, they offered smaller portions at reasonable prices, allowing two of us to enjoy a variety of dishes without feeling disappointed by the amounts. The pickled mustard greens as a starter could be refilled, and they had some unique drinks like a 桂花陳酒 (osmanthus liqueur) sour, which made it feel special. The fried dumplings were incredibly juicy, almost bursting with soup when bitten into, and the boiled dumplings had plenty of unique options like shungiku (crown daisy) and cilantro. For our last dish, I was torn between the spicy noodle soup and the chicken ramen, and I’m glad I chose the ramen; it was just the right amount and had a rich chicken broth that was very tasty. While the restaurant itself was great, we happened to sit next to some loud customers, which made us feel like we had to raise our voices to be heard, and that was a little uncomfortable. I’m considering sitting at the counter next time. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the restaurant and definitely want to return. On a Saturday night, I was able to make a reservation for the following Sunday night without any issues. However, the place was always full with a constant flow of waiting customers, confirming its popularity, so I plan to make reservations in advance in the future.

The Zha Cai was unlimited and delicious, and I had three servings! I ordered the following: spicy chicken, cucumber with sesame sauce, grilled gyoza, boiled gyoza, and jellyfish. The shrimp boiled gyoza came with a sauce that was really tasty!

The restaurant with an eye-catching sign had caught my attention. The interior is decorated in a cute Chinese style. The menu features a variety of dishes centered around dumplings, alongside snacks for drinks. The dumplings include pan-fried, deep-fried, and several types of boiled dumplings. The boiled dumplings are made fresh after you place your order. All the dumplings are small and bite-sized, making them easy to eat. The appetizer is 320 yen and consists of delicious pickled vegetables flavored with sesame oil, with free refills available. ◉ The deep-fried dumplings are enjoyed with ponzu sauce and are hot and crispy. ◉ The pan-fried dumplings are juicy and the most delicious. ◉ The boiled dumplings have a chewy skin and are well-seasoned, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine; personally, I loved the scallop boiled dumplings the most. The spicy noodle soup features very thin vermicelli and comes in a small bowl with fewer noodles, more like a soup. The service is attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience. Everything except for noodles is available for takeout!

Everything is delicious, but I especially love the cucumbers in sesame sauce and potato salad! I started my meal with Shaoxing wine and preserved vegetable (which they let you refill as an appetizer). The dumplings are pre-seasoned, so you can tell they’re carefully cooked just as they are. It’s a small restaurant with a counter, making it easy to pop in for a drink alone without any worries. The staff are friendly and smiling, so it’s definitely a place where a girl can feel comfortable going alone! Of course, older ladies are welcome too!

I made a reservation for an all-you-can-drink course with eight dishes! I was worried it might not be enough, but I was very satisfied. Everything was delicious. The crispy topping on the potato salad and the shrimp dumplings were especially amazing! The drinks came out quickly, and the beer had the perfect foam ratio! The atmosphere in the restaurant was great, and the background music selection was nice as well! It seemed like there were many regular customers. They have a happy hour from 5 to 7 PM, so I would like to try that next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I finally visited a restaurant that I've been curious about, and it's conveniently located near the station. It was a good decision to make a reservation, as it was quite lively when I arrived. I ordered a variety of dumplings: grilled, boiled, and fried. They were all delicious, but the boiled dumplings were especially exceptional! I ended up ordering a second round. The shrimp boiled dumplings are highly recommended. I will definitely visit again!

I enjoyed the meal! The staff were kind, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. The gyoza was tasty, but it was just average and didn’t exceed my expectations. The best part was eating it with the dipping sauce for the spicy chicken and fresh cilantro. Also, I preferred the boiled dumplings over the fried ones because they were chewier. The sweet shrimp was a bit disappointing. During happy hour, fried gyoza was half price, and drinks were around 290 yen, which was a great deal, and the place was always packed. If you made a reservation, you got a free highball!

The restaurant is just a short walk from the station and serves drinks from the afternoon! The interior is a bit cozy, so the distance between tables is quite close. The grilled gyoza is really delicious, and there are also unique options that were tasty! If you like gyoza that is juicy and on the sweeter side, similar to soup dumplings, I would recommend this place.

I was in the mood for a drink and drawn in by the flag advertising "gyoza." I learned that the dough is handmade here. It seemed like there were many reservations, but since I arrived early, I managed to get a seat at the counter. First, I ordered the basic grilled gyoza. After placing the order, they started stretching and cooking the dough right in front of me. The gyoza is bite-sized, and the juicy meat bursts in my mouth. Next, I also ordered boiled gyoza. My partner wasn't really a fan of boiled gyoza, but they absolutely loved it! We just kept eating and drinking… I definitely want to go back to this restaurant again.

I made a reservation for July 10, 2024, at 18:30 and went to the restaurant. The interior was not crowded. I took advantage of an 800-point cashback offer from Hot Pepper and a 20% cashback with PayPay! There was a happy hour until 19:00 where drinks and grilled dumplings were half price! I considered adding a drink-all-you-can option, but it seemed more economical to go with the 2000 yen course plus a la carte. The 2000 yen course included: - Pickled vegetables - Potato salad - Spicy chicken - Cucumber in sesame sauce - Shiso water dumplings - Shrimp water dumplings - Grilled dumplings - Almond tofu I also ordered 4 additional drinks and more grilled dumplings! The pickled vegetables were unlimited! The grilled dumplings had a really thin and crispy outer layer, and they were beautifully cooked without burning. Everything tasted delicious! However, each item was small, so I felt the need to order extra to feel satisfied. The course menu seemed like a mix of the regular items, so ordering the same amount a la carte would be pricier. I might come back if there are promotions!

I visited the restaurant on a weekday around 6:30 PM, and the place was empty. They have a happy hour on weekdays until 7 PM, with drinks and grilled gyoza at half price. I ordered various items: pickled vegetables, potato salad, spicy chicken, sesame cucumbers, water dumplings with shiso, shrimp water dumplings, grilled gyoza, and almond jelly. The pickled vegetables were unlimited. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent.

I visited a dumpling shop in Nerima that has received the Bib Gourmand award for lunch. The interior is cozy, featuring a counter and about four small tables, with a small terrace outside. It seems that a yakisoba (fried noodle) specialty shop used to be in this location. The menu isn't very extensive, so I ordered a selection of items via mobile order. The pickled vegetables served as a side were unlimited, which were nice for nibbling on like the ginger served at sushi restaurants. I tried the drunken shrimp, where angel shrimp are marinated in a Shaoxing wine sauce, allowing you to enjoy the flavor down to the head. There was also the apricot liqueur tomato, which tasted sweet due to the liqueur and felt almost like a dessert. The spicy chicken (yodare chicken) allowed for a choice of cilantro or no cilantro, and the sweet and spicy sauce was addictive, making you want to drink more. For the boiled dumplings, you could choose from shrimp, scallop, shungiku (chrysanthemum), cilantro, chives with egg, or perilla. I opted for the scallop for its rich flavor. The dumpling skin is made fresh upon ordering, showing great dedication. The skin of the boiled dumplings has just the right amount of elasticity and texture, being both firm yet easy to bite through. They were already seasoned, so I enjoyed them without any dipping sauce. I ordered four pan-fried dumplings. They were perfectly small with nice crispy edges, exactly how I like them. I also decided to try the spring rolls and, since I was at it, added fried dumplings with a dipping sauce. It was my first time tasting sunflower seeds, and the staff kindly provided a shell bowl, which helped me understand that I should eat only the insides. I had a light, pilsner-style Taiwanese beer for the first time and imagined how refreshing it would be to enjoy it chilled with hot dumplings in the summer. I then ordered another round of boiled dumplings, this time choosing the chive and egg option, which was unique because it contained both chives and egg, giving it a mellow flavor. To wrap up my meal, I had a rich chicken ramen. Throughout lunch, I indulged in highballs, draft beer, Taiwanese beer, and Shaoxing wine. As a fan of good food and drinks, I would appreciate it if they could expand their selection of small dishes even more. However, I still have several types of boiled dumplings to try, so I’d love to visit again. Despite being a small place, I was thoroughly satisfied with both the atmosphere and the flavors.

I usually prefer pan-fried gyoza, but the boiled dumplings here were delicious with their chewy skin. I appreciated that I could choose whether or not to include cilantro in the spicy chicken dish. If you skip the cilantro, they replace it with green onions. The staff was very friendly, and I had a pleasant time. I’m thinking of bringing my children next time.

I had the pleasure of drinking at the counter early on the weekend. True to its name, the restaurant offers a variety of dumplings, primarily boiled dumplings, but also has a great selection of other snacks. Everything seems perfect for pairing with alcohol. The pickled mustard greens were so good I almost wanted seconds! This time, I tried both fried and boiled dumplings filled with shungiku (garden chrysanthemum) and cilantro. The dumpling skins were thin yet chewy, perfectly balanced with the filling, and they were just the right size for a single bite, making them easy to enjoy. The cilantro dumpling came with a sesame sauce that left a lingering cilantro aroma in my mouth, and I might even prefer it over the spring greens boiled dumpling, which the store seems to recommend. The prices were reasonable, making it a versatile spot to visit. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The main shop in Shinagawa has a Tabelog rating of 3.53, and I was really curious about this restaurant, especially since the original first shop in Nishi-Ogikubo was once selected as a Bib Gourmand. I visited for the first time with my close friend, who loves dumplings and drinks, during a get-together♪ (*The Tabelog rating is as of June 15, 2024.) There were various great value course menu options with all-you-can-drink, but since it was my first visit, I wanted to try a variety of dumplings and dishes, so I went for à la carte with a 2000 yen two-hour all-you-can-drink option, which turned out to be a great choice! We ordered a range of items, including shiso water dumplings, scallop dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, daikon cake, spring rolls, potato salad, and garlic edamame. The standout for me was definitely the shiso water dumplings! They were packed with shiso inside and topped with it as well, providing an excellent accent to the juicy filling and chewy skin. Both my friend and I absolutely loved them♪ By the way, my friend is allergic to shrimp, so we didn't order those this time, but I heard the shrimp water dumplings are also very popular and supposedly delicious. We also ordered eight pan-fried dumplings, which were hot and incredibly juicy inside, with the skin being chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside—so delicious that we finished them off in no time. Haha! The garlic edamame (a perfect snack!), daikon cake, spring rolls, and the all-you-can-eat pickled vegetable appetizer were all tasty as well! However, I thought the scallop water dumplings were just okay; they were good, but I didn’t really taste much scallop flavor. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and while the space between tables was a bit cramped, it didn’t detract much from the overall experience. Additionally, using a Tabelog coupon allowed us to extend our two-hour all-you-can-drink by an extra 15 minutes, which was great! Thanks to the drink package, we enjoyed lots of drinks and had a wonderful time! The restaurant seems to be quite popular, as it quickly filled up, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. The shop is still new, so the interior is clean and has a cute decor vibe! ♩
