The best gyoza

This place serves the best gyoza in the world. They have 11 different flavors. You can pick or have the mixed plate, which u can ask both steamed or pan fried. We got both and were super happy. The owner is also so kind and nice. A must visit if you're in Tokyo!

Exceeded Expectations

Cute little vegan gyoza restaurant. The goyza is offered fried or steamed. We ordered the set and got them fried. They were all delicious however, the kimchi, green onion miso, and eggplant miso were my favorites. It was fun trying all the flavors! They also have a ton of vegan drinks and lattes to choose from.

Tasty and unique gyozas

There’s a lot of options for gyozas - even a kimchi one (my favorite being the ginger one).
Gyozas have more filling than the usual - they’re very satisfying and tasting #Veganuary

So pretty!

The gyozas are tasty and very pretty, and the service is great, plus everything being vegan is such a luxury for us vegans but despite the restaurant's stance on sauces, I thought the gyozas could have done with a sauce as I found them a tiny little bit dry but frankly I would still return without hesitation.

Pros: Colours!, Tasty gyozas

Cons: Limited drinks menu, No ice cream despite being mentioned in reviews

Well worth the trip

A bit out of the way based on where we were staying but the food is totally worth it. Cool little shop that led us to a beautiful part of town we would not have seen otherwise. Thanks!

best meal i had in japan!

visited on 20th march 2024
this is probably the best restaurant i have ever visited. we sat outside despite the cold weather, because they have a lovely tent with heaters that feels super cozy and home-like. this restaurant has such a unique concept; they only serve gyoza, which come in all different colours due to the veg inside them. we got the mixed set, which came with a card telling you what all the different flavours were. every single gyoza was delicious and the staff were lovely. it is tucked away outside central tokyo and is definitely worth seeking out, you won't find anywhere else like this place in the world😄

Pros: unique concept, incredible range of flavours, cosy environment

The best vegan experience in Tokyo!

We tried the Gyoza set plate, and that was such a fun experience! They were delicious and so beautiful! The weather was cold, but the restaurant was so nice and cozy with the heaters!

A flavour exploration

I had a great meal.

The beer was delightful, with a selection of craft beers.

The 11 flavour tasting set was the highlight and an awesome way to experience the different flavours and to discover some favourites.

Our top 3 were kimchi, ginger miso, and green onion miso.

Pros: Exciting way to sample, Great textures, Great craft beers

this is my mecca

I came to Japan for two things and two things only this month…my beloved friend’s wedding and to taste these dumplings…not necessarily ordered in importance. Within this safe space (happycow) I feel brave enough to say that unfortunately vegan food can be a miss in Japan (the tyranny of the gluten free cafes) so while I’m usually enjoying myself, there are maybe only like three places where I’m BLOWN away and this is one of them (other one is marbre vegan and 2foods is also a reliable basic) and this one is by far my favorite. The dumpling skin has that nice thick handmade texture (they make the dumplings fresh every morning), and will make you full pretty quickly. The filling is fragrant and the definition of mouth watering, exploding in savory juices. I’m a green onion dumpling truther but the shiitake and kimchi are also amazing. And if you’re not a picky eating child like me you should actually just get the set that has all the different types (again, the dumplings are super filling so come hungry).

Amazing Gyozas

We have taken the gyoza mix, one steamed, one fried, to share.
They are not accompanied by rice or soy sauce, which is fine because the quantity is sufficient (11 gyozas) and the tastes so different, fine and studied that a sauce would spoil them.
Best gyozas ever :)

Favorite restaurant in Tokyo

The gyoza are incredibly delicious!!! They differ from traditional gyoza because they are larger and have several different fillings available. The different flavors are spectacular and made in house! This is the one restaurant I tell everyone not to miss. It’s located in a residential area, so be aware of that so you don’t think you’re lost. The black gyoza are my favorite!!!!!
