About this place
The signature juicy pan-fried gyoza come in a serving of 6. Diners who came for the dumplings have remarked on how juicy they are, with meat juices flowing at the first bite. One person who ordered the gyoza set at lunchtime said they were advised to enjoy the dumplings as they were. There has also been a report of being able to order extra rice, making this a good option for a filling lunch centred on gyoza. Alongside the pan-fried kind, boiled gyoza are available in servings of 5, and chicken-wing gyoza in servings of 2. For a taste comparison, try a small serving of each. The juicy pan-fried gyoza make a good starting point, with another style alongside.
Another way to enjoy the gyoza is to dip them in “Our Mapo Tofu”. Diners have recommended this combination, making the tofu worth ordering alongside the dumplings to try the flavours together. If you want a few small plates with your gyoza, horse-meat yukhoe and the day’s assorted horse sashimi, with 2 varieties, are also options. The menu suits both a lunch built around a plate of dumplings and an evening meal of drinks and a spread of dishes.
Drinks include beer and highballs, as well as the “Dandadan Highball”, made by adding beer foam to a Kaku Highball. This casual Tennoji izakaya works for a drink with gyoza or a meal focused on the food.
