Ebisu "Ebisu no Yasubei" ¥2000~ Tabelog 3.59 - Yakitori Gyoza ¥450 - Boiled Gyoza ¥480 - Potato Salad ¥480 - Homemade Char Siu Plate ¥480 - Jako Rice ¥420 Finally! We waited for about 30-60 minutes around 7 pm on a weekday. - Yakitori Gyoza: The gyoza here has a thin and crispy skin, a perfect combination of fried and grilled gyoza. It was super delicious! We ended up eating 21 gyoza per person (3 plates) along with the boiled gyoza. - Boiled Gyoza: It's a type of gyoza to dip in a light soup. Very refreshing and easy to eat. - Potato Salad: A self-made type of potato salad with a delicious bacon chip flavor. It's nice to be able to adjust the coarseness to your liking. - Homemade Char Siu Plate: The char siu, similar to that of a ramen shop, has a slightly sweet sauce and the meat is tender and tasty. - Jako Rice: Simple but perfect for finishing the meal! Topped with plenty of bonito flakes, pickled greens, and whitebait. It was really delicious when you drizzle a little soy sauce on it. The restaurant is a bit small, so you may have to wait, but the unique type of gyoza they offer is worth a visit.

When I visited "Ebisu-jima no Yasubei" before, it was fully booked and I couldn't get in. This time, I succeeded in getting a table. All the dishes were delicious, especially the chikuwa with cucumber was very tasty. The beer in the kettle was also great. The staff were very kind, efficient, and it was easy to see why the restaurant was so busy.

Last night's dinner was at Ebisu no Yasubei! I have been to Meguro no Yasubei several times before, but it had been over a year since I last visited Ebisu no Yasubei. This restaurant was selected as one of the top 100 on Tabelog, and it's always crowded and hard to get in, but it seemed relatively empty yesterday, maybe because it was drizzling. Ordered: - Draft beer - Chicken skewers - Sake-steamed clams - Char siu - Gyoza - Leek and egg over rice - Pickled vegetables - Sliced green peppers - Potato salad - Oden Sake: - Takiarashi Tokubetsu Honjozo 60% Akabono from Kochi - Shibo Dan Honjozo Kojikome 65% Kakikome 70% Yamadanishiki from Kochi - Shibo Dan Honjozo Kojikome 65-70% Akitsuho from Kochi - Katsuki Kura Dashi Genshu 65-70% Akitsuho from Kochi I kept eating gyoza and other appetizers to fill the gaps, and I felt like I ate a month's worth of gyoza. It was a delicious gyoza that combined the best of pan-fried and deep-fried gyoza. But I ate too much. I licked my plate clean, but I ended up going to two more places after this.

This was my second visit. Last time, I waited for about 40 minutes, but today, maybe because it was raining or because it was an early time (6 pm), I was able to get in without waiting! I was prepared to wait for 40 minutes, so I was already happy as soon as I arrived. Perhaps rainy days and early hours are a good time to aim for. By the time I left (around 7 pm), people had started lining up. Today, I ordered gyoza, potato salad, char siu, cucumber, and clam soup. The gyoza has a thin skin and is crispy. Perfect with beer. The potato salad is the type you finish yourself. The char siu here is not overshadowed by the gyoza and is just right as a snack!

Ebisu is a fierce battleground for gyoza, with the highly popular restaurant Anraku. Since reservations are not accepted, I always imagine having to wait in line, but luckily I happened to stop by just before opening time and was able to slip in easily. Lucky me! Once seated, I quickly ordered a serving of gyoza. The gyoza had a beautiful chestnut-colored crispy sear. They looked more like fried than grilled, but surprisingly they were light and not oily. The filling had chunky pieces of ingredients, and the vegetables stood out nicely. It was easy to eat them up! I also recommend the chashu don, with its deliciously tender simmered meat and luxurious sweet sauce-soaked rice. If I had more room in my stomach, I would have liked to try the oden as well...

I happened to go to a place in Ebisu, and since most of the restaurants had already finished serving lunch, I ended up at a place that opens at 3 pm. I had a small Asahi beer for 616 yen, potato salad for 528 yen, chicken skewers for 506 yen, garlic gyoza for 495 yen, gyoza without garlic for 495 yen, and water gyoza for 528 yen, totaling around 3,168 yen. It took about 30 minutes. The self-mix potato salad was unique. It seems like they considered food waste, but if it's a popular restaurant, I would prefer to have it freshly made. The chicken skewers were cute, but they were also served with mayonnaise. Judging from the choice of beer brand, it seems like the person who started this place is someone with a simple and straightforward personality rather than someone deeply knowledgeable about food. The gyoza served at the restaurant was delicious, but I had taken out before and reheated it in a toaster, and it was exceptional. Maybe the way it's cooked makes a difference. I didn't quite understand how to eat the water gyoza, but it seems like it's best to enjoy the small gyoza quickly. If you can choose how well-done you want them, I would definitely recommend doing so. Taking out and reheating them in a toaster is highly recommended.

I love dumplings, and finally fulfilled my wish to visit Anbeisuke for the first time. Two months later, I visited for the second time. I ordered one serving of pan-fried dumplings without garlic, and three servings with garlic, as well as boiled dumplings. I also tried the lemon sour drink that I couldn't order last time, and it was delicious! Personally, my favorite is the pan-fried dumplings with garlic. Sometimes there may be a wait depending on the time of day, but the turnover is quick so it's not too bothersome. I will definitely visit again!

[2021 Top 100 Gyoza Restaurants] Located on a small street about a 7-minute walk from Ebisu Station, this popular Kochi gyoza specialty shop offers delicious gyoza at affordable prices. In addition to gyoza, they also have a variety of appetizers and oden, creating a somewhat casual and lively izakaya atmosphere that appeals to a wide range of customers. It is popular among families, groups of friends, and girls' nights out. However, the shop is a bit small and can be noisy, so it may not be suitable for business entertaining. On this day, I visited with my colleagues around 6:15 PM and there were already two groups of five people waiting in line. We waited for about 30 minutes before being seated. Please note that reservations are not accepted at this shop, so be prepared to wait in line. The shop's signature dish, "Yatai Gyoza (450 yen)," features crispy fried gyoza with a small size, making it easy to eat multiple pieces. It has a light flavor that makes it mysteriously easy to keep eating. The "Cut Green Pepper (380 yen)" is a common appetizer of sliced green peppers, but the thin slices and the delicious sesame oil flavor at this shop make it stand out. The unique gyoza and atmosphere make this shop popular, and I think it's a great place. Thank you for the delicious meal! ✨

I visited a dumpling restaurant. It's located a few minutes' walk from Ebisu Station East Exit. I arrived at 9 PM on a holiday and was the 5th group in line. I thought it might be crowded since it's a "dumpling izakaya," but I was able to get in after about 15 minutes. The dishes came out quickly, so it seems like a good place for those who want to eat quickly. I ordered: - Street stall dumplings (7 pieces) for 495 yen - Oden (egg, daikon) for 120 yen - Jako rice for 462 yen The dumpling skin was thin and crispy. It wasn't greasy, so I could eat them quickly. I chose the garlic flavor, and it was delicious with the juicy ingredients. I enjoyed it with the Jako rice! The oden with egg and daikon was soft and flavorful. The menu besides dumplings was also diverse, so you can enjoy a hearty meal or have a fun drinking time. It's a convenient and delicious restaurant where I ate to my heart's content.

Visited the restaurant with a friend who loves dumplings. Usually there is a bit of a line, but we were lucky as a few groups were leaving when we arrived, so we only had to wait for about 5 minutes. It was my first time visiting, so I was excited to order! For appetizers, we had chicken skewers and potato salad, and for the main dishes, we ordered... pan-fried dumplings and boiled dumplings! The dumplings had thin and small skins. The pan-fried dumplings had a crispy skin and were so delicious! The boiled dumplings were eaten by dipping them in broth. Both were really tasty. Thank you for the meal!

After a long absence, I couldn't forget and wanted to eat it... The gyoza had a crispy texture and the flavor of the filling was so good that I could eat as many as I wanted. The main dish was gyoza, but I also ordered Chikukyu with a whole stick of bamboo shoot inside, and homemade potato salad that you can crush yourself. The oden was delicious with a deep flavor! I regret ordering the assorted platter because it was too much, so I should have ordered individual items. Lastly, the ice cream was nostalgic and delicious. I was truly satisfied.

The restaurant opened at 3 pm, but there were already about 5 groups lined up before that time. The interior is small, so it fills up quickly. The menu is limited, so once you've eaten the dumplings you came for, it's time to leave. The turnover is pretty fast. The alcohol is good, the dumplings are crispy and flavorful. The clam soup is also good for drinking too much. Many celebrities seem to visit as there are lots of signed photos. Payment is cash only, so it's best to prepare in advance.

Atmosphere: Good, 4-seat counter, many other table seats Taste: Good, the gyoza is like fried dumplings with a crispy surface that goes well with beer Price: 2,000 yen per person, pot of beer for 1,600 yen (equivalent to 4 mugs) is a good deal Note: There is always a line no matter what time you go

I had beer, yuzu juice, and gyoza. The gyoza was more like fried gyoza, small in size, and delicious. We went to a second place, but even though I was full, I enjoyed it. I want to go to the first place next time.

First visit. A popular izakaya in Ebisu with long lines. No reservations. The signature dish is gyoza. You can enjoy the gyoza that was highly praised as a street food in Kochi Prefecture in Tokyo. There is always a line during dinner time, but I found out that there is no line in the evening, so I decided to go for gyoza and beer. As expected, I was able to enter without waiting. However, all the table seats in the restaurant were already taken. It's amazing how popular it is even at such an odd time. So, I ended up at the counter seat, which is fine for me as a solo diner. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is typical izakaya style, so it might not be suitable for non-drinkers. I was in the mood for gyoza and beer, so no problem for me. Besides gyoza, there are several other appetizer options, but as a solo diner, I couldn't order too much, so I just got gyoza and vegetables. The items I ordered were gyoza x2 (495 yen each), potato salad (528 yen), and draft beer (616 yen). The gyoza was served much faster than I expected, but the size was quite small. It's easy to eat in one bite, so I just popped it into my mouth. Oh! It's delicious! The crispy thin skin is filled with a vegetable-heavy filling that is well-seasoned, and you can taste the flavor of the filling even on its own. I like the combination of the gentle filling and the crispy skin. Despite being cooked with a lot of oil, the thin skin and mild flavor of the filling make it easy to eat without feeling too heavy. I could easily finish two plates of these. The potato salad was unexpectedly served in a different style. It had whole potatoes and whole boiled eggs in a mortar. According to the staff, you can crush them to your liking before eating. I thought they would prepare it for me! But when I tried it, it was surprisingly fun. Adjusting the texture while eating was quite enjoyable. The amount of mayonnaise was a bit too much for my liking, so it would have been better if I could add my preferred amount. It was a short drinking session that lasted about 10 minutes. There are other dishes for closing, but honestly, I didn't have high expectations, so I decided to eat elsewhere. The bill was unexpectedly high for a short drinking session, and waiting in line was a bit of a hassle, but the gyoza was delicious and I would like to eat it again. I mean, can you really eat delicious gyoza at a street stall in Kochi... Kochi, you're amazing!

Visited the popular restaurant Ebisu's Yasubei-san ❤️ The grilled gyoza (¥450/7 pieces) is small in size with crispy thin skin! You can easily snack on them like a snack. You can choose between garlic or no garlic, which is a nice option. The boiled gyoza (¥480/7 pieces) can be enjoyed with sauce or in soup. We couldn't resist and ended up ordering one plate each of grilled and boiled gyoza. The draft beer in a kettle (¥1,700) is equivalent to about 4 glasses of draft beer. Drinking beer from a kettle feels refreshing. The potato salad (¥480) was fun to crush by yourself. Other dishes we had include homemade char siu platter ¥450, leek and egg ¥380, and chicken cartilage ¥460. We visited on a weekday at 8:00 PM and had to wait for 2-3 groups. There were Yasubei-san fans in the waiting area, and we were free to take one (of course, we took one home). The restaurant does not accept reservations, so be prepared when you visit. Thank you for the meal! Recommended for: Those who want to snack on gyoza, those who like retro izakayas, those who want to drink beer from a kettle.

I waited for about 10 minutes around 7:00 pm on a weekday before entering the restaurant. I love Kochi's Anbei. This Ebisu branch is also a popular place. I enjoyed the reliable chikkyu and gyoza. The staff got excited when they found out I like Anbei from Kochi. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal. ☺︎

This is a simple and delicious gyoza restaurant where you can eat cheaply. It is also a great place to enjoy beer. The appetizers are also delicious. There is always a line, so if you want to avoid waiting, it is recommended to come at 5:00 pm.

I have been to the Meguro branch before and it was delicious, so this is my first visit to the Ebisu branch. Both are popular restaurants. I had a draft beer, grilled chikuwa cucumber, and pan-fried dumplings (without garlic) by myself. I think it was all under 2,000 yen. - Grilled chikuwa cucumber → I tried this for the first time at Yasubei, and it was really delicious. - Pan-fried dumplings → I love the texture and the way they are cooked, similar to the fried dumplings here. I missed out on trying the chashu and chiku-kyu at the Meguro branch, so this was my chance for redemption. Both branches are really delicious! The restaurant is just a few minutes walk from the station. It's located in a slightly quiet area, which is nice. The inside of the restaurant is lively, but there is also a counter besides the tables, so it's totally fine to dine alone. I recommend enjoying delicious dumplings in a casual atmosphere. However, everything else on the menu is delicious too. Completely non-smoking.

I arrived around 5:30 pm on Saturday and waited for about 20 minutes before getting seated. The gyoza had a crispy exterior but was juicy inside. They were small with plenty of vegetables, making them popular with women. The combination of beer and gyoza was excellent. I will definitely visit this restaurant again!
