JR Mizukaidobashi Station is a 2-minute walk from both the east and west exits, located near a six-way intersection lined with various dining options. Upon entering the restaurant through a narrow entrance, you will find table seating in the front and counter seating surrounding the kitchen. During lunchtime, the place is packed with customers seeking dumplings, often sharing tables with others. The lunch menu includes a variety of dumplings, grilled dishes, and set meals with water and soup. One of the recommended items is the "Assorted Dumplings Set Meal" which includes four types of dumplings: Original, Shrimp and Chive, Crispy, and Black Pork. Each dumpling has its unique flavor and texture, with generous portions. The set meal comes with rice, soup, and pickles, with the option of free rice refills. The soup has a soy sauce base with a slightly strong flavor, and the pickles consist of cucumber pickles. The delicious dumplings and generous portions will surely leave you satisfied and full. It's a great place to enjoy a satisfying meal during lunchtime. Bon appétit!

Waterworks Bridge was more lively than usual on this day, and for good reason - the Giants had just secured a dramatic walk-off victory against the Swallows. After the day game ended, the bars in Waterworks Bridge were quickly filled with excited Giants fans who couldn't contain their excitement. Since it was a Sunday, it was a bit of a struggle to find an open shop, but we decided to go to a Chinese restaurant in Waterworks Bridge, just a 2-minute walk from the station, called Fujiiya, a dumpling specialty shop. Although it is a dumpling specialty shop, the menu is extensive and completely in line with a typical Chinese restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is adorned with autographs of famous people, and the outdoor table seats are always full. Luckily, we were able to find seats at the counter. We ordered dumplings and bottled beer. The ice-cold Asahi Super Dry, a silver bottle, was a delightful sight. The cost-performance at Fujiiya is excellent. The original dumplings, a set of 8, cost only 440 yen. Cheap and perfect as a beer snack. Served with vinegar and pepper, the dumplings had a slightly less filling, but the crunchy texture of the vegetables stood out. The shrimp chili sauce made in a Chinese wok with intense heat was spicy and went well with the beer. The spicy seasoned cucumbers were a perfect side dish and we ordered them frequently. Noteworthy was the water dumplings - thick and chewy skin with a flavorful filling that was a delight to savor. We couldn't stop eating them. This restaurant is a definite repeat visit! Highly recommended when you visit Waterworks Bridge.

When it comes to dumplings, this place is a must-visit. In these times, they unexpectedly lowered the price of their all-you-can-eat menu. Getting all that variety for 880 yen is quite rare. Each of the four types of dumplings has its own appeal, so I think going for the all-you-can-eat option is the way to go to avoid getting tired of just one kind.

Before the dome game, I had a meal at a nearby gyoza restaurant since the saba restaurant I was interested in was closed. The gyoza restaurant was fantastic with a variety of gyoza options. I ordered a gyoza set with four different types of gyoza, boiled gyoza, black pork gyoza, crispy gyoza, and shrimp and chive gyoza. It was perfect for a first-timer like me to try different flavors. My favorite was the shrimp and chive gyoza. My husband enjoyed the crispy gyoza with thin skin and plenty of meat filling. The boiled gyoza was also delicious with a chewy texture. The dipping sauce with Sichuan pepper on the table added a nice kick to the gyoza. Overall, it was a delightful meal.

Around 9:30 pm on the night before a consecutive holidays, after watching a game at Tokyo Dome. I visited a restaurant that I had made a reservation for, as I couldn't forget the taste I had tried for the first time a few weeks ago. I started with the "Assorted Gyoza", which had thick skins and a meaty filling, providing a satisfying bite with each piece. The spicy special sauce complemented the gyoza perfectly. I also ordered the "Shrimp and Nira Gyoza (6 pieces)" and rice as an additional dish. Since I was also drinking alcohol, personally, I found that eating the gyoza with white rice helped prevent indigestion. Although I didn't take any leftovers home that day, I can't wait to go back and eat there again soon.

Around Suitengumae Station at 11 o'clock. I was planning to go to Sabasho, where I was impressed last time, for lunch, but unfortunately they weren't open yet. Then, I glanced at the neighboring restaurant and saw a dumpling shop called "Gyoza Specialty Store Fujiiya." The picture of their delicious Gyoza set meal on the outdoor sign caught my eye. The restaurant looked small, but luckily it seemed empty as it had just opened. I made up my mind! Today is all about Gyoza! So, I entered the shop. There were many signs on the wall, a good sign of high expectations. They had various types of Gyoza like "Original," "Crispy," "Black Pork," "Shrimp and Leek," and "Steamed Dumplings," but I decided to order the "Gyoza Assorted Set Meal" (880 yen) where you can try all types of Gyoza. The food was served promptly without much wait. First, I tried the Original Gyoza... delicious!!! Both the crispy skin and the filling were perfect! Next, I had the Shrimp and Leek Gyoza... so tasty!!! The shrimp was big, and the leek added a strong flavor making it extremely delicious. The Black Pork Gyoza... the flavor of the filling was different from the Original, but equally delicious! The Crispy Gyoza... easy to eat with a nice crispy texture! Both the Gyoza and rice portion were generous, and the price was affordable! I usually like the Gyoza from Ginza Tenryu, but Fujiiya, which is more casual and inexpensive, is the best! I will definitely come back, but it's a tough choice between Fujiiya and Sabasho being next to each other. The food was incredibly delicious! Thank you for the meal.

In this era, there are lunch sets starting from 700 yen! For first-time visitors, I recommend trying the set that includes a variety of dishes, but ultimately the slightly more expensive black pork dumplings are delicious. This time, I tried the boiled dumplings for the first time and they were plump and tasty. Women may want to order less rice. There are 8 seats at the counter and space for about 6 people near the entrance. Many people seem to use it as an izakaya and stay for a long time. Takeout is also available!

A small dumpling shop located near Mizutani Bridge. We visited in the evening on a holiday and managed to get in without a reservation, but it was the last two seats available. Those who came after us had to give up and leave. I felt like the taste had improved since the last time I had lunch here. The dumplings here are truly genius! I tried the flavored dumplings for the first time, but I think the regular dumplings are more delicious. The staff seemed extremely busy but worked efficiently, which was impressive. I want to be able to work like that too. What we ordered on this day: - Dried tofu cold dish ¥550 - Assorted dumplings ¥960 - Boiled dumplings ¥500 - Shiso dumplings ¥650

Today I visited this restaurant. The "All-in-One Set Meal" costs 880 yen and includes shrimp and leek dumplings, black pork dumplings, original dumplings, and crispy dumplings. It comes with soup, rice, and pickles. The dumplings are first crispy and then juicy. My favorite is the shrimp and leek dumplings. The balance between shrimp and leek is excellent. The crispy dumplings, also known as stick dumplings, are also excellent. Overall, it was delicious.

Today was my monthly meeting in Jinbocho. I was excited to find somewhere to have an early lunch, and since I missed out on having gyoza last night, I decided to go here. I quickly ordered the assorted gyoza without rice. The pickles and soup were served first, followed by a big plate of shrimp and leek gyoza, original gyoza, crispy gyoza, and black pork gyoza. I didn't regret skipping the rice. I dipped each gyoza in vinegar and enjoyed them one by one. They were all delicious, but the shrimp and leek gyoza had a bit too much leek. The crispy gyoza and black pork gyoza were both meaty and incredibly tasty. The cost performance here is amazing. I would love to try their boiled gyoza next time since I prefer the filling without garlic. Looking forward to my next visit!

I love dumplings so much that I even take photos with the slogan "Gyoza LOVE"! I was recommended by a senior to visit this delightful gyoza specialty shop, and I went there together. The place was very popular and the store was packed! Men who had just finished work were toasting at the tables outside, while slender women were enthusiastically devouring gyoza by themselves. Gyoza from Fujiiya is loved by people of all ages! It was amazing! There were various types of gyoza, which was exciting. I love pairing gyoza with wine, but it also goes perfectly with lemon sour! We also ordered fried rice and occupied the counter with our feast! Thank you for the delicious meal! I will definitely visit again! ^_^

There are many Chinese restaurants in Mizuhashi, and you can enjoy dumplings at many of them, but this restaurant reigns supreme among them! The interior of the restaurant is small, but it's actually convenient for quick solo visits. You can enjoy various types of dumplings at once, so be sure to visit!

It's about a 3-minute walk from Suitengumae Station. I knew there was a dumpling restaurant there for a long time, but I remembered it was not that great when I went there in the past, so I decided to visit after a long time. I went around 12:00 on a weekday and there were only 2 customers already seated, so I was able to find a seat easily. The restaurant is long and narrow with counter seats and a large table that can accommodate about 10 people. The menu is located under the table. This time, I ordered the "Assorted Dumplings" (880 yen). It was served in about 8 minutes. The set includes 2 shrimp and leek dumplings, 4 crispy dumplings, 4 original dumplings, and 4 black pork dumplings. In addition to the dumplings, it also comes with rice, soup, and pickles. The freshly baked dumplings were delicious and hot. Be careful when eating them as they are very hot. You can enjoy 4 different flavors, and they are very satisfying to eat! The shrimp and leek dumplings are delicious as they are. The black pork, original, and crispy dumplings are all pork-based. The outer skin is crispy, and the pork filling is juicy. Personally, I like the crispy dumplings like the stick dumplings. It made me want to drink beer more than rice (laughs). Payment is cash only. The dumplings were delicious, and the portion was satisfying in terms of cost performance. The only downside was that the table and condiments had quite a bit of oil residue, which was unpleasant. I will definitely go back. Thank you for the meal♪

Gyoza specialty restaurant near JR Suitengumae Station. It's been about 2 years since my last lunch visit. The only choice here is the "Assorted Gyoza Set Meal" (880 yen). It comes with shrimp and leek gyoza, original gyoza, crunchy gyoza, and black pork gyoza. Also includes pickles, soup, and white rice. It's delicious and satisfying. The staff seemed to be handling everything alone, which was different from before.

Fujiya has branches in Kameido and Funabori, and even though they have the same menu, the taste is completely different. I wonder why. So I came to the Fujiya in Suidobashi this time. I ordered the assorted lunch set from the menu, which includes original gyoza, crispy gyoza, black pork gyoza, and shrimp and leek gyoza. However, I asked to change the leek gyoza to black pork gyoza because I wasn't in the mood for leeks. The gyoza served with a surprisingly sloppy presentation had a chewy texture with a hint of firmness. I felt that the original gyoza had an imbalance between the skin and the filling. Personally, I might not be a fan of rice with gyoza. I think it's best enjoyed with beer. The substantial skin and white rice don't go down easily. Also, the dryness of the rice was a bit off-putting. I always think gyoza is tricky. I guess I expect a crispier texture due to frozen gyoza.

Located about a two-minute walk from the east exit of JR Suidobashi Station, next to Sabameshi no Sabasho, is a long and narrow shop. I visited in the early afternoon during Golden Week and sat at the counter. I ordered the Gyoza Assortment, which was originally 960 yen but discounted to 880 yen. The interior of the shop is not particularly clean, more of a rustic style. Despite it being past lunchtime on a holiday, there were still several customers, which raised my expectations. The Gyoza Assortment included shrimp and chive, handmade, black pork, and pan-fried gyoza. The shrimp and chive gyoza had a whole shrimp in each, and the black pork was very meaty. Each had its own unique flavor and was delicious. There was no excessive greasiness or heavy taste, which I really liked. I look forward to going back when I'm hungry and enjoying a beer with some gyoza. It was delicious.

I was able to enter without waiting around 2 pm on Sunday afternoon. It was my first time, so I wanted to try various types of dumplings, so I ordered the assorted dumpling set meal! All four types were delicious, but the shrimp and leek dumplings were especially good. They were packed with meat, and the rice just kept disappearing! Usually, there is a line at lunchtime, so I would like to visit again if there is a time when there is no queue!

On April 24, 2023 (Monday), dinner (1). With my partner. Tonight we went to see Eric Clapton at the Budokan. Surprisingly, no "Layla," no "Sunshine." But it was good. Mostly blues. Clapton, of course, was a bit older, but still had that edge. After the show, we decided to walk to Suidobashi and ended up in this open restaurant. Rock afterparty with dumplings, baby. The restaurant mainly had counter seats. We ordered bottled beer, 13: shrimp and leek dumplings (4 pieces for 540 yen), 16: original handmade pan-fried dumplings (8 pieces for 440 yen), 18: handmade black pork dumplings (6 pieces for 540 yen). The black pork dumplings had a good flavor of pork. They were quite delicious. The shrimp and leek dumplings had plenty of leeks and juicy shrimp. They were okay. The original pan-fried dumplings were vegetable dumplings and nothing particularly special. We had another bottle of beer and the total bill was 2620 yen. It was okay. The restaurant didn't feel like a place to stay for a long time.

I had the assorted lunch set! It was 820 yen, but there was a lot of gyoza and I was very satisfied. By the way, you can get a refill of rice. There were four types of gyoza, and personally, I liked the one that was like a chive and shrimp dumpling! I would like to visit again if it's nearby.

Cheap!! Generous portions!! The volume for 880 yen is amazing! Plus, you get to enjoy four different types of dumplings, which is pure happiness♪ The flavors are surprisingly not too strong, but well-balanced and carefully made dumplings! Since the shop is small, it is recommended not to bring large bags with you♪

After the concert, I was hungry so I decided to have a late dinner at this restaurant. The interior is small, with a counter for 8 people and 6 table seats. I ordered the famous assorted dumplings and started with a beer. The dumplings were amazing with a juicy meat filling. The shrimp and leek dumplings were also delicious with plump shrimp. I also ordered the spicy cod roe dumplings, which had a lot of cod roe but the meat flavor was a bit overpowering. The stir-fried wood ear mushrooms were tasty, and the sweet and sour chicken was especially good with thick pieces of meat. Overall, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.
