Gyōza no Ohshō Shimokitazawa

This place is quite inexpensive but the quality doesn't drop because of it. I know this place is part of a chain of restaurants and all but I find the quality of the food to be pretty good. Ordered a 12 gyoza meal that came with soup, some pickled vegetables and rice and it was a good late night snack for two people. I think the gyoza were done just right that it was crispy and the insides were juicy and overall just delicious. And all of that for the price of roughly 1100 yen which is currently a little over 7 US dollars. Now that is a deal.

The only slight complaint I have is how smoky this particular branch was and I understand they're probably cooking a bunch of gyoza right there in the kitchen. We came the hour right before closing and it was still pretty bustling but not too busy enough that we couldn't get seats immediately. All in all, a good place to go to after a night out doing something like karaoke or drinking at bars.
