Nikujū gyōza no dandadan Shinkawasaki mise

Gyoza Izakaya of Warm Friendliness

This izakaya specialized in gyoza in both the pan-fried type and the soup type. The soup type (suigyoza), if you have never tried it anywhere, is arguably better here than the pan-fried, so I think its a good place to try it for the first time. Seating is tight, but it’s an izakaya so it’s kind of expected. The staff are incredibly friendly, randomly chatting me and my friends up on passing by, despite most of us knowing the basic of basic Japanese. The menu is mid-range, with the four of us spending around 2000 yen each for a three plates of gyoza, some rice, and two mugs of beer each.
