While looking for gyoza in Ebisu, I stumbled upon a restaurant where on the 7th of every month you can eat all the gyoza you want for 777 yen! (Only available at the counter seats). I decided to invite some friends to go with me. I called on the day and was told that we could come in at 10 pm. We arrived at the restaurant with empty stomachs at 10 pm. The restaurant is a three-story building located right near the west exit rotary of Ebisu Station. The counter seats are only available on the first floor. The L-shaped counter is a bit narrow, with a capacity of around 6 people. We started with a Oolong Highball for 420 yen, and were served fried peanuts as a complimentary appetizer. Even though it was for two people, it was quite a generous portion, and the peanuts were delicious with a hint of sweetness. We also ordered some pickled vegetables while waiting for the gyoza to be cooked. The gyoza arrived all at once. Each gyoza comes in a set of 6 pieces, priced between 400 to 600 yen. They were nicely browned and the skin was chewy. We tried all 7 types of gyoza they offered. The gyoza sauce consisted of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil (with star anise). They mentioned that garlic was not used in the gyoza. The Seven Lucky Gyoza, which we ate with their homemade miso, had a nice balance of vegetables and meat. It was delicious with the miso, which was a unique twist. We liked it so much that we ordered more. The Pork and Shiso Gyoza had a refreshing taste with the shiso inside. We ended up ordering more of this too. The Pork and Shiso Cheese Gyoza had cheese added to the mix, which was a bit subtle at first but became more pronounced as we ate. It might be a good choice for cheese lovers. The Pork Gyoza had coarsely ground pork, making it juicy and flavorful. It was quite satisfying to eat. The Steamed Gyoza came in sets of 3 pieces on small plates. It was a nice touch to have a soup with the gyoza. The soup was light and the chewy skin of the gyoza was enjoyable. My friend really liked it and ordered it twice. The Coriander Gyoza, the most expensive one, was a hit for coriander lovers. The coriander was both inside and outside the gyoza, and even grated coriander was served on the side. It was a favorite of ours, and we ordered it twice. The Vegetable Gyoza, made without garlic, was delightfully light and refreshing. While waiting for the second round of gyoza, we had a mixed plate of Menma with green onions, which went well with drinks. The Szechuan-style Egg Drop Soup for 150 yen was a steal for its price and tasted amazing. After conquering all 7 types of gyoza and ordering more, we had indulged quite a bit in gyoza. Looking at the menu, there were many other Chinese dishes available besides gyoza. The shrimp gyoza and Xiao Long Bao were also tempting. I had about 10 drinks, and the bill for two people was under 6500 yen. My friend barely drank but ate a lot, and only gave me 1500 yen. Laughing, eating all-you-can-eat gyoza for 777 yen is highly recommended.
