Excellent dumplings

We lucked out getting a seat without a booking, but I wouldn't risk it (lots got turned away after us). It was easy to find the vegan dumplings on the menu and they were delicious.

Pros: Atmosphere, Gyoza, Vegan option

RIP OFF - Avoid

I ordered ten of their vegan dumplings. I was asked to order a drink as well, so I ordered a drink I didn’t want. Then they brought me 20 dumplings. Apparently I double tapped without realising, which is easy because there is no confirmation screen when you order on their booking ipad. To top it off, they charged me the inflated rate of 2x 10 dumplings portions instead of the rate for 20 dumplings altogether.
Extremely stupid system, with zero critical thinking from start to finish. I ended up paying almost 3000 yen for extremely average dumplings. Do not support this establishment

Very good!

The vegan Gyozas were really delicious, the staff was friendly and spoke good English. Food and drinks for 4 persons was 7200 Yen - very cheap!

Shinjuku Kakekomi Gyoza Kabukicho

Venue
Easy to find. Seating upstairs and down. Quite a noisy, high energy place thanks to the staff having a whale of a time.

Service
Very friendly and amped up staff. Drinks were brought to my table within about 20 seconds of making my order. On that note, everything is done via an iPad on the table. To get to the vegan menu, from the top menu, swipe right to left three times and you’ll see a button called “Call for help”. Swipe right to left four times to get the full vegan menu. Note that the “honey” gyoza is a syrup/sauce that’s honey flavoured, there’s no real honey in it.

Food
I rather foolishly decided to order 10 honey gyoza and 10 karaage gyoza. I just about managed to get through them with the help of several umeshu ciders and then the gobo I ordered arrived and I nearly cried. But down they went and I waddled home.

Price
A little under 5000jpy for 20 gyoza, gobo, 3 umeshu ciders. Not bad I guess.

Not bad Gyoza

Had a couple of the veg options here:
Spinach soy meat
Honey mustard vegetable.

For the price and ambience worth the stop over. Some might find it off putting reading horse meat everywhere so just a word of advice

Pros: Had veg gyoza, Had beer

Cons: Frustrating online menu

Nice

Four vegan options. Not the best in Tokyo, but a cool place and one of the few vegan options in the area.

5 stars

Only thing I can add is the “honey mustard” gyoza is made with syrup -not real honey- so it is also vegan. So good!

I love their gyoza 🥟

I LOVE this cozy place! 😍 The gyoza tasted fantastic, definitely want to come back! But you gotta be lucky to come in without reservation, because sometimes there is a big line…However we were lucky one time!

They have 3 vegan gyoza options and one vegetarian because it contains honey sauce. Two types were steamed (spinach soy meat and spicy soy meat), though the spicy one was not spicy at all !!😁And my absolute favorite was the deep fried gyoza, it was sooo good.👌🏻

The vegan options are clearly labeled on the iPad, but be careful while ordering to press the right button because I almost confused them with non veg ones (i think veg was the green one)

Don’t miss this place 🥟👌🏻✨

Quite good soy meat gyoza

A cosy spot in the middle of Shinjuku, the restaurant interior has cool decor. Open 24 hours according to Google!

The waiter was friendly and had a funny personality, busily running around the restaurant. He offered each table a fortune cookie lucky dip on arrival, we drew a complimentary plate of gyoza 🙌🏼 Not sure if this was just a special thing for New Year’s Eve. We were also given a plate of edamame to start that I don’t think we were charged for? The vegan menu is clearly defined and it was easy to order through the tablet on the table (although there is one dish on the vegan menu with honey). We accidentally over ordered but were able to takeaway the leftover gyoza.

Pros: lively atmosphere , fortune cookie freebies!, good value

Cons: serves horse meat

BEST GYOZA - 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Would give it 5/5 but can't as they offer meat.
We did have to wait but honestly it was worth it. Food came quickly and was sooooo delicious.

It can be hard to find a place where my partner (meat eater) and myself can eat. I was able to get veggie options for 4 different types of gyoza.

Delicious and multiple options

3 vegan Gyozas and one vegetarian Gyoza option, we tried the spinach soymeat and the fried spicy sauce ones, very delicious. We also had some sides: Daikon Kimchi, Cabbage salad, green peppers, which were all delicious, and ended with the yuzu sorbet, also delicious.

Pros: Good options, Nice Music, Open late

Limited but great options

Small place in the by-lanes of busy Shinjuku. Reach out to the staff for vegan menu. Limited options but gyoza was delicious. Well worth the visit. We didn’t need to make reservations.

Gyoza top! Beware of the cold tofu

Gyoza were great, big recommendation.
Cold tofu tasted fishy, there was something undefineable on top

Pros: Gyoza

Cons: Not so vegan tofu

One Option But it’s Good

Great Vegan Goyzas, there is also Edamame. Surprisingly there is also horse meat on the menu. You order on an I pad which has an english menu.

Worth the wait

Look up in the comment section how to get to the vegan menu. I ordered them all and they were different enough. The tofu I ordered came with bonito flakes, so be careful.

Should be 5*

While I can't give this 5* because happy cow doesn't allow it for omni restaurants, it deserves it.

Lovely atmosphere and the set menu with gyoza was delicious!

Pros: Gyoza, Relaxed setting , Central location Shinjuku

Wonderful atmosphere, really tasty food!

Went here after all the great reviews. We ordered almost every type of the vegan gyoza and loved them all! The atmosphere and ambience in there was also incredible. A short walk away from iconic neon lined Shinjuku streets it's a perfect spot.

Pros: Full vegan menu, Very tasty food, Great ambience

Cons: Can get very busy
