Vegan tofu gyoza

Only one vegan gyoza option but it was good! Everyone was super friendly and helpful with any questions I had. Definitely would go back!

New menu - no vegan gyoza’s anymore

Was excited to visit, the staff were really sweet but after we ordered a beer unfortunately they let us know that they have a new menu without vegan options (our bad we should have checked before) - only one with cheese - super kind people working there though

Good gyoza and nice atmosphere

Make sure you ask for the vegan menu since the special gyoza are not on the usual one. The staff was really kind and nice, the gyoza had some unique flavors that I never had before in Japan. They take reservations and I recommend you do that since the first time we tried to go they were full.

Pros: Really nice and kind staff, Good gyoza and atmosphere

Great snack

First of all, they only have one vegan option (yuba wrapped cabbage gyoza), so if you're coming here for lunch/dinner, probably you'll stay hungry. However, the portion sizes (4 small ones) make it perfect for a quick snack. Wrapping it into yuba instead of flour-wrapper gives it an interesting texture.

Pros: Cheap, convenient street food

Cons: Only one vegan option

Disappointing

There's only one vegan option and a few vegetarian options. The vegan gyozas aren't that great; they don't have much flavour.

Cons: Only one vegan option, The vegan option isn't that great

No vegetarian menu/options at higashiyama-ku branch

We visited on 25/6 and asked for the vegetarian menu as reported on happy cow but he was confused and said there was none and vegetarian food was difficult to make so I think they have no options.

Muy rico

Me pedi el tofu frito que estaba bien bueno. Hay varias salsas que se le puede poner. Tambien pedi las gyosas de champiñon con queso derretido.
Al momento del postre no tenian la.opcion de sesamo.

Ok gyoza

Had some vegan options which was great. Would have preferred to have a veggie gyoza in a regular gyoza wrapper instead of tofu skin. Don’t enjoy tofu skin but I thought maybe as it’s pan seared it would be different but I find tofu skin quite rubbery. It was still good to try but probably won’t return.

Pros: Vegan options clearly labeled

Cons: Had better gyoza

Happy to find vegan gyoza

While I was happy to finally end upon some vegan gyoza in Japan, they were not really that special. I wouldn't say that it didn't taste well but it was also nothing out of the ordinary.
I also got myself some deep fried Tofu and fries - for which goes the same. But of course, you don't go to Japan for the fries so that was not a problem. However, in general the portion sizes were small. Therefore I am not totally sure about the price.
You may try it. I believe that some people may really really like the Yuba/gyoza, but for me that wasn't it.

Fun to try Yuba gyoza !

The atmosphere in this place was great. Like an izakaya. Not too many vegan options but tasty. I had the yuba gyoza, fried tofu, fries and at the end the waitress said the dessert gyoza was also vegan. This isn’t wrote on the menu (so I hope it was lol). Got the apple pie dessert gyoza and it was delicious. Despite eating a lot of various things, it was kind of hard to feel full. Small portions and maybe Yuba isn’t very filling but - worth going!

Pros: Tasty vegan gyoza

Cons: Small portions , Limited options

Very tasty but very few vegan options

While the gyoza and fried tofu I has was very good I was disappointed that there is only 1 vegan gyoza option and it's very tiny. Please look at all the photos - scroll to the end for most updated menu. There was no dessert gyoza either sadly. Vegetarians will have more choice.

Pros: Cheap and tasty

Cons: Small portions and only 1 vegan gyoza option

Great gyoza!

I was so nervous we wouldn’t be able to have any gyoza since they are usually all meat, so when I saw this place on happy cow, I had to try! Food was great, and we got 3 different kinds to try (potato, tofu and cheese).

Long wait, but worth it

Had to wait for around 20 minutes outside and about 10 minutes for the food to arrive. Had the vegan tofu gyoza and the apple pie gyoza. Both were pretty satisfying although there were only 4 and 5 pieces of each dish respectively. Chilli oil and spicy miso seem to be vegan too, but I did not verify with the staff.

Pros: Quite a few vegetarian options

Cons: Only 2 vegan options

Authentic Japanese Dumplings

These were so good and cheap but beware, the portions sizes are very small so if you want a decent meal then this place isn't any cheaper than other vegan joints in Japan. I went alone but would be a good place to share dishes. Lots of vegetarian options but not as many vegan ones. Still worth a trip. There is often a long line outside!

Pros: Delicious, Lovely staff

Cons: Small portions, Often necessary to wait in a queue!

Tasty gyoza

Tried gyoza with tofu and salad. It was delicious but the portions are very small. The remaining dishes were not available. The vegan menu is quite small. there are few tables, there is always a queue at the entrance.

More vegetarian than vegan options

Really enjoyed the vegan gyoza however only one type are available. The fried tofu is also lovely. There are lots more vegetarian options however these are pre made with mayo and or cheese so not able to be changed for vegans
