Gyoza all-you-can-eat restaurant with a Tabelog score of 3.49 (based on 414 reviews). I had been wanting to go for a while, and although it seemed fully booked online, I was able to make a reservation over the phone. The entrance to the restaurant was covered in plastic and quite narrow. The 2-person tables felt a bit cramped, but the ones by the wall were more spacious. Maybe it depends on the location? Orders were placed using a smartphone to load images. They offered a Gyoza all-you-can-eat & all-you-can-drink option for 4,400 yen per person. Apart from the all-you-can-eat/drink, you could also order individual items. I ordered:
- Grilled gyoza: Large and flavorful, best to start with 2 pieces. Can be ordered from 2 pieces, which is convenient. Tasty with or without soy sauce, chili oil, or vinegar.
- Fried gyoza: Crunchy and filling, with a thick skin and a rich sauce on top.
- Garlic gyoza: Liked this one with garlic, so I had seconds.
- Steamed gyoza: Soft and chewy, different from the grilled gyoza.
- Gyoza soup: Light broth with plenty of vegetables, quite filling.
- Shrimp gyoza: Succulent shrimp, also had seconds.
- Kimchi: Quick to arrive.
- Meat and tofu: Tasty stewed tofu with onions and meat.
- Anchovy potato: All-you-can-eat potato fries and sliced potatoes, a nice touch.
- Potato salad: Popular and tangy.
- Meat miso with bean sprouts: Served on a hot plate, flavorful.
- Meat miso oil soba: Single or double portion, I chose single, a good amount.
- Sesame soup tsukemen: Single size, similar to tantanmen, enjoyed the unique flavor.
The gyoza was cooked to my liking, crispy on the outside. I ordered a lot besides gyoza, and it seemed like we were the only ones ordering so much... The clientele seemed mostly in their 20s. The restroom was on the basement floor with a private room and kitchen right there. Only one private room without a partition, felt a bit open. Once I reserved a 2-person table, but when I arrived, there was only one chair, and the other person had to stand... It's better to double-check the seating arrangements. I was able to pay using PayPay. Overall, the all-you-can-eat and drink for 4,400 yen was a good deal!
