The building where this restaurant is located is a regular lunch spot, but I had never been to this particular place before, so I decided to give it a try. Although it's an izakaya specializing in gyoza, they also offer a few lunch options. Since we're no longer in the era of wearing masks, I decided to go for the sesame chicken lunch set instead of gyoza. When the dish was served, something felt off. Where's the chicken?? It was there, but the pieces were all small and looked like scraps of meat. Plus, there were plenty of onion slices on top. I took a bite and realized that the chicken was over-fried, with too much batter and very little meat. The side dish was bamboo shoots, which I'm not a fan of, so I only had two pieces. The main dish wasn't filling at all, so I ended up eating it with a bit of pickles and miso soup. I understand that food costs are rising, and it's tough for restaurants, but even though the prices are reasonable here, the meal left me unsatisfied. My colleagues who ordered the mapo tofu set and gyoza set also felt the same way. Maybe the dinner menu is better? It's been a while since I've given a negative review, but I won't be coming back to this place.

Today is hot, so after work I feel like having a beer. I'm eyeing some gyoza as a side dish! Suddenly, five colleagues and I decided to head to the Satsueki area. We visited Dandadan for the first time, a place known for its juicy gyoza. - Grilled Gyoza x4 - Yurin Chicken x2 - Garlic Marinated Gizzards x2 - Onion Slices We started with a toast with beer! Cheers! The beer goes down smoothly, refreshing the throat. Ahh! First, we met the garlic marinated gizzards. The right amount of garlic and the chewy texture of the gizzards were delightful. Next, we met the main dish of the day, the grilled gyoza. They were already seasoned, so we ate them as is. The juicy meat juice spread in my mouth. It's also good to dip them in the sauce! Wash it down with beer. Gyoza as the side dish today was definitely the right choice. Delicious! The Yurin Chicken was crispy, and the sweet and savory sauce paired well with it. It's great! Thank you for the meal.

If you want to enjoy delicious gyoza and beer at Sapporo Station, this place is a favorite (*´ω｀*) *Grilled Gyoza (6 pieces for 614 yen) When you order gyoza, you will be asked about the number of pieces of gyoza rather than the drink. The gyoza serves as an appetizer♪ Even without any sauce, the gyoza has a strong flavor and is filled with juicy meat. *Draft Beer (658 yen) It's Premium Malt. I will visit again (*'ω'*)

The curry shop I was aiming for was closed on holidays, so I ended up deciding on the oil-drizzled chicken lunch for 800 yen instead of being drawn to the dumplings in front of another shop. I was supposed to get a hot spring egg with it, but due to a shortage of eggs, it was replaced with bamboo shoots (disappointing). The oil-drizzled chicken was crispy and delicious. Although the rice portion was normal, it was surprisingly tall and big, too much to finish. I wish they had a set with 3 dumplings and half of the oil-drizzled chicken. The staff were energetic and efficient, which was nice. However, all seats allow smoking, and it's not suitable for lingering during lunch.

Draft beer ¥658, Grilled dumplings ¥558. It was a weekday, past 6:00 PM. There was one group of customers before me, and one group after. I felt like the beer was going down smoothly, and then I realized it was Suntory Premium Malt. I had some aversion to Suntory beer for some reason, although I couldn't quite pinpoint why. Maybe it's because it feels light? The dumplings had a noticeable flavor of chives and garlic, not the gentle, vegetable-based sweetness. I prefer a stronger garlic flavor. If only the beer wasn't Malt, what a shame. I had about 3 glasses and left early. I'm undecided about coming back next time.

It had been a while since I visited the city. For lunch, I decided to try out Dandadan Izakaya, which is known for being a reputable company. Although there was a curry restaurant with a long line in the underground food market, I wanted to visit this izakaya. I ordered the gyoza set guided by a cheerful staff member. The cabbage with yuzu flavoring was very delicious, and the jasmine tea complemented the gyoza well. The gyoza was tasty, but I was expecting it to be juicier. The onsen tamago with yuzu pepper added a nice touch, creating a sense of unity with the dish. However, the smell of cigarettes from the underground and the lackluster atmosphere of the restaurant were disappointing.

I tried out an izakaya known for its gyoza for lunch. I ordered the mapo tofu set meal with an extra side of pan-fried gyoza. The gyoza had a chewy skin and tasted pretty good. The mapo tofu had a unique flavor with a hint of sweet and spicy seasoning, but it didn't quite hit the spot for me. Overall, it was an okay meal. Thank you. (*´ω｀)

I was invited by my subordinate to go out occasionally, so I decided to visit this place that my gyoza-loving subordinate recommended. To my surprise, we were each served a portion of gyoza! I have had takeout gyoza before, but freshly made gyoza is so much more delicious! I was so focused on eating that I forgot to take a picture, oops! But eating gyoza with vinegar and soy sauce definitely made it taste even better. And the secret treat I had my eye on was the pudding we had for dessert! It was a bit disappointing that it didn't have caramel, but the pudding itself was just right in terms of sweetness and firmness. I have a feeling it was made by a talented woman. It was very similar to the pudding you would get at a cafe! I will definitely visit this place again. Thank you for the meal!

Sapporo International Building B1F, North 4 West 4, Chuo-ku, Sapporo City, Hokkaido. The building is located along Ekimae Street in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, with direct access to the underground shopping area. From the FamilyMart store, go straight and take the escalator down to B2, then to B1. At the top of the escalator, you will find the restaurant with a menu displayed outside. I had been curious about this place but avoided it because it allows smoking. On a Sunday at 2 pm, the area was quite crowded, so I reluctantly decided to go in. When I informed the staff that I was alone, I was asked to sanitize my hands and wait outside the store. After a short wait, I was seated at a small table in a dimly lit space with a strong smell of cigarette smoke and poor ventilation due to previous customers smoking. I briefly considered leaving but decided to stay due to time constraints. I was served a light-colored iced tea. I ordered the Gyoza set for 680 yen (tax included). It included 6 gyoza dumplings, a soft-boiled egg, rice, soup, and pickles for 748 yen. The gyoza were being cooked after I placed my order, so there was a short wait. The dumplings had a slightly thick skin but were chewy, with a filling mainly consisting of meat and a gentle seasoning. Personally, I would have preferred a darker sear on the outside. The table had soy sauce, vinegar, and homemade chili oil for customizing the dipping sauce. The sign mentioned "juicy gyoza," and indeed, the dumplings were juicy when bitten into. They were quite tasty and the skin seemed to have whole wheat in it. The rice was generously portioned in a bowl, and I opted not to get the larger size for an additional charge. The soup was a clear broth with a hint of green onions. There was a refreshing pickled cabbage with yuzu peel served alongside the gyoza. The set also included a soft-boiled egg topped with a soy-based sauce. I enjoyed topping the rice with the egg and eating it like a TKG dish. I finished my meal quickly and left without lingering.

"The words 'juicy dumplings' are quite captivating. These days, even as someone who prefers boiled dumplings over pan-fried ones, I feel tempted to try it out. A combination of pan-fried dumplings, soup, soft-boiled egg, and plenty of rice. My high school self would have been thrilled. The dumplings are packed with garlic flavor, slightly salty, and indeed, the meat juice bursts out. Overall, it's quite rich, making the rice go down smoothly. Thank you for the meal."

Lunch in Sapporo. I love dumplings, so I searched for dumplings and found this restaurant. They also offer lunch sets. There are 5 options for lunch: - Dumpling set with juicy pan-fried dumplings (6 pieces) for 680 yen - Yurin chicken set for 750 yen - Mapo tofu set for 750 yen - Seared chashu pork set for 750 yen - Seared chashu pork and dumpling set for 780 yen I decided to go for the seared chashu pork and dumpling set for 780 yen, thinking it would be a good way to get protein. However, when it arrived, I was surprised to find only 3 dumplings instead of the promised 6. It came with 2 thick slices of seared chashu pork, which were okay. If you want more dumplings, you have to pay an additional 300 yen, making it quite an expensive meal. The dumplings had a chewy skin and were juicy, which I liked, but I was disappointed by the quantity. The cabbage with yuzu flavor that came as a side dish was delicious. Next time, I will just order dumplings. Overall, it was a decent meal with a good amount of protein thanks to the onsen egg. I wonder if I can eat a lot of dumplings if I come here for dinner. Thank you for the meal!

I was interested in this restaurant because I love dumplings. *Grilled dumplings (6 pieces for 515 yen) Before asking about drinks, they asked about the number of dumplings. Without any appetizers, the dumplings served as a kind of appetizer. Even without any additional seasoning, the dumplings were flavorful and juicy, very delicious. *Cod roe salad (537 yen) A snack-like dish with cod roe potato salad on top of dumpling skin crackers. *Chicken wing dumplings (2 pieces for 537 yen) Juicy chicken wing dumplings. *Homemade seared pork belly (548 yen) I imagined it to be more tender, but it was a bit tougher than expected. *Crispy chili chicken (768 yen) Spicier than expected. *Our mapo tofu (878 yen) Mapo tofu served in a hot stone pot, where you break the tofu yourself. The seasoning was authentic, not catered to Japanese tastes. *Leek liver (438 yen) *Garlic-marinated gizzard (428 yen) Lightly seasoned. *Horse sashimi (lean meat) (878 yen) Fresh and delicious horse sashimi. *Limited quantity: Danprin (438 yen) Firm pudding with a noticeable egg flavor. They also offer lunch and sell frozen dumplings, making it convenient. I will definitely visit again.

I came to the dumpling restaurant to try a menu that caught my attention. It is the Mapo Tofu set meal for 825 yen. It took a little while for it to be served. It comes with a hot spring egg, pickles, and soup. The Mapo Tofu is silky and soft, not mixed when cooked. It has a slightly sweet base, mild spiciness, and no numbing sensation. It has a flavor that is easy for everyone to enjoy. The Chinese soup is delicious. The rice portion is said to be 250g. It is not freshly cooked. I'm not sure of the correct way to eat the hot spring egg. Should I put it in the Mapo Tofu, pour it over the rice, or just eat it as a side dish with chopsticks? Since the restaurant is known for its dumplings, I wish even just one dumpling was included in the set meal. (June 2022)

I quit smoking six years ago. Despite being a heavy smoker back then, I've completely become averse to the smell of cigarettes. The smell is unbearable for non-smokers, like a strong toxic gas. Today's lunch was at "Dan Dan Dan" where they specialize in juicy dumplings. I remembered they also serve "Jajangmyeon" here, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is located in Sapporo International Building, B1F. As I entered, I noticed it was a smoking-permitted establishment. I usually avoid smoking places, but I was in the mood for Jajangmyeon. I ordered the Jajangmyeon and noticed they also offer "Rich Tan Tan Tsukemen." Unfortunately, the person at the next table was smoking, but I tried to enjoy my meal. The Jajangmyeon arrived in a black plate, looking like spaghetti with meat sauce. The noodles were thick and chewy, mixed with a generous amount of minced meat sauce and lettuce. It wasn't too spicy and tasted delicious. Despite the smoky environment, I managed to finish my meal and found the Jajangmyeon to be a unique and tasty experience.

This place with a variety of famous restaurants in the international building has not been visited yet! The appearance of the store, the headbands worn by the staff, and the menu. Deliciousness confirmed! The juicy pan-fried dumplings have a thin skin, so there is no common problem of the juice leaking out! The skin is thick but chewy, so it won't make you tired! The meat is firm and satisfying to eat! Plenty of juice! Easy to eat and handle, so it might be surprisingly popular with women! The garlic-marinated gizzards are served cold like a side dish, not at room temperature! The aroma is good and they are well marinated, with a nice texture! They were unexpectedly tender and very delicious. It would be nice if they offered all-you-can-drink for even just two people.

I visited around 1 pm on a weekday. I ordered the Yulin Chicken set for 750 yen and 3 grilled dumplings for 308 yen. The Yulin Chicken didn't have a crispy texture as expected, it felt more like it was baked rather than fried. The dumplings were also a bit pricey at 308 yen for 3 pieces. Overall, the food wasn't bad but it didn't meet my high expectations. I was able to use electronic money for payment.

The fact that they are open for lunch until 4:00 pm is convenient. I ordered the gyoza set meal. I was debating between adding yuzukosho or chili oil, and ended up adding chili oil. It was delicious. I also added a soft-boiled egg on top of rice halfway through. I enjoyed it with chili oil and soy sauce. The chili oil had a taste similar to small fish tsukudani, which was a bit different from my preference. Eating a meal for 700 yen in the Sapporo Station area at such an odd time is satisfying enough. Thank you for the meal.

Gyoza and beer is the best combination, right? When we were looking for a place to eat gyoza, we came across Dandadan and decided to go there. It was not crowded, maybe because it was a weekday, but there were only about 3 groups of customers including us. We ordered 6 gyoza on 2 plates, garlic-marinated gizzards, chilled tomatoes, grilled chashu gyoza, DTKG (egg over rice), gyoza skin senbei, and chicken broth noodles. DTKG was different from other places as it had spicy oil and small shrimp which made it interesting. The egg was half-cooked, which was unique. We loved the gyoza so much that we ended up ordering one more plate each at the beginning and end. My recommendation is the grilled chashu gyoza! It was delicious with plenty of tasty chashu on crispy chicken wings. Everything was delicious. I want to go back again. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted to eat gyoza so I visited this place for the first time. The name is unique so I was curious about it. You can easily walk there from Sapporo Station. The restaurant had decent customer traffic, mostly men who looked like office workers. It might be a bit intimidating for women to enter. Gyoza and seared chashu are a must, but I also wanted to have rice...and then I found it. A set meal. It seems that the gyoza and chashu set meal comes with a double portion. The gyoza had a flavorful filling with just the right amount of juice oozing out, and a crispy texture. The seared chashu was not too soft, had a good thickness, and was delicious as well. The side dishes of yuzu cabbage and onsen egg were nice too. You can change the soup to nyumen for an additional 300 yen, which is also very tasty, but the rice was a bit mushy, which was a bit disappointing. It didn't really go well with the gyoza. I think next time I'll just order them separately.

After enjoying a morning at "Kamijima Coffee Shop" and indulging in the monthly cinema Kabuki performance "Kyoka Musume Gonin Dojoji / Futari Wan Kyu" featuring Tamazaburo-sama, I decided to try the "Nikujiru Gyoza no Dandadan" recommended by the appetizer expert Asai-san on "What to do for a second place? Appetizer talk" at a place in Sapporo. The place was not too crowded, with about 8 customers already seated and 3 more coming in later. I was seated at a counter-like table for two in the back. The wall had a sign that read "Boys be a gyoza! Clarke-san" which I found interesting. I started with a draft beer for 528 yen, which was a Premium Malt. The menu suggested not to dip the gyoza in sauce as they are already well-seasoned. I remembered Asai-san mentioning this on the show, so I decided to try the gyoza as it is. And indeed, the gyoza was delicious with a juicy meat filling and chewy skin. It was just the right amount with 6 pieces. The TV also featured "Century Egg" and "Mapo Tofu" as recommended dishes. I spent about 45 minutes at the restaurant and paid a total of 1,034 yen. It's a smoking-friendly establishment.
