Intimate counter-serve with limited seating doling out boiled & fried dim sum, plus beer & sake.via Google

A no-frills, highly efficient spot serving only two styles of gyoza (pan-fried or steamed) at incredibly low prices.

Signature
Pan-fried pork and chive gyoza.

Stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon. Fairly long line to get in, but it moved decently quickly. Seated for 2 at the bar. My husband ordered 2 sets of gyozas and loved them both. I had the tofu (wasn't a huge fan) and the cucumbers with miso (yummy and refreshing). Service was attentive, quick, and pleasant. Would recommend for anyone seeking pork gyozas (not intended for vegetarians). Cash only.

A down to earth establishment. I was alone so I got a place quickly at the community table. They have a big u shaped community table and a few separate tables. I tried the garlic and chives fried dumplings. They were delicious and the tofu with the minced meat sauce was excellent. The gyoza making machines had oil buildup and black corners. The owner was at the counter which is next to the community table. He was having lively chat with a lot of people on the table.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Gyoza Experience in Tokyo! Hands down some of the best food in Tokyo — every bite of the gyoza here bursts with flavour and freshness. The menu is simple but perfect: perfectly crispy pan-fried or tender steamed gyoza that keep you coming back for more. Reviewers rave about the shiso and garlic versions especially — tasty, juicy and excellent value for money.  Everything here is very affordable by Tokyo standards (six dumplings for just a few hundred yen), and it’s a great choice for a casual bite or a quick lunch while exploring Harajuku.  The service is great — staff are friendly and efficient, and there’s a fun, lively vibe watching your food being prepared right in front of you at the counter. Many diners mention the helpful and welcoming team, even if the place gets busy with lines at peak times.  Whether you’re a dumpling lover or just looking for a standout Tokyo food stop that won’t break the bank, this place is a must-visit gem! 🌟

It was lunchtime and we were very hungry. We saw a long line outside the restaurant, which made us think it must be really good, so we went in without doing any research. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The place felt more like a street-food spot and did not seem particularly clean. The food was average and nothing special in terms of taste. Given the long queue and the apparent popularity of the restaurant, we expected much more.

No Bs reveiw... if you’re planning to visit, try to get there by noon. The line forms fast and gets long, though to their credit, it moves at a steady pace. The space is tight, just three tables for groups and a long bar. I’d recommend sitting at the bar so you can actually watch them make the food right in front of you. ​Stick to the gyoza, both the pan-fried and boiled versions are excellent and easily the best part of the meal. However, I’d suggest skipping the tofu. Despite being a common recommendation, I found it bland and lacking any flavor. ​The service is efficient but purely transactional. The kitchen staff is incredibly fast, while the owner (only japanese worker) handles the door and the register. Overall, the food is good, but it isn't life changing or worth a massive wait. ​Note: This is a cash-only place.
