Harajuku Gyozaro

Firstly, service was BAD, when I placed my order, I realised the staff didn’t write ANYTHING down, so I was baffled like if they placed the order but I trusted the service since I was in japan, usually services are 10/10 but obviously not here. They totally forgot our order.

We noticed the tables AFTER us got their order earlier than us so we knew something was OFF.

1st time I reminded the staff, they looked confused and the waiter came back and said it will be the next batch of gyozas. So ok we wait…. but then…. saw the next batch of gyozas being made and NONE was for us, only for the people AFTER us.

2nd time I reminded the staff, they say “SOON SOON SORRY, 2 MINUTES” and I was like fine ok I wait another 2 minutes.

After 5 minutes, STILL NOTHING! We went to the guy at the cashier (assuming he was the owner since he was managing the cashier and the only Japanese), and to tell him that we have waited for more than 30 minutes FOR GYOZAS? But the waiter immediately tried to stop us and told us “COMING SOON COMING SOON”, and gave us a starter on the house (bean sprouts with minced pork) but obviously was…. Justifiable!

Waited for another 5 minutes and the gyozas FINALLY came. The taste of the ship gyozas was WEIRD for me and was not it, wasn’t crispy, meat was not fragrant. Not worth the total hour wait. We quickly finished it and paid + left.

Owner apologised in Japanese but tbh we just wasted our time.
