The pan-fried dumplings were crispy on the outside and the filling was fluffy. They were quite light, so I finished a serving in no time. The shoyu ramen had a rich chicken broth. The flavors were well-balanced and delicious. It was light and just the right amount. The fried rice had a perfect balance of oil and salt, giving the rice a nice coating. It's a warm and welcoming place.

This is a specialty gyoza restaurant located in Asakusa. 🥟 I visited around 4 pm on a Saturday and was immediately seated. This time, I only ordered the "King's Gyoza." The King's Gyoza was piping hot, with a crispy exterior and a melt-in-your-mouth filling. The filling likely only contains vegetables. It's even better with soy sauce or their homemade chili oil! It pairs perfectly with beer! 🍻 I heard the meat gyoza is also recommended, but unfortunately, I couldn't try it because I had other plans. I'll definitely order it next time! If you're drinking in Asakusa, be sure to check this place out! It's great for both your first stop and your second stop! ✨ ❄️ Menu I ordered: - King's Gyoza (¥490) - Asahi Super Dry (¥650) ꕀ ꕀ ꕀ ꕀ ꕀ ꕀ In the end ꕀ ꕀ ꕀ ꕀ ꕀ ꕀ Thank you for reading until the end! ✨ I also post about delicious restaurants and great places on Instagram, so please check it out! ✨✨✨ ⁂ Instagram Account Name ⁂ @gourmet_ryo_20s If it looks delicious, please feel free to like, follow, and save! ✨

I came here after seeing it on TV and wanting to try it. The restaurant has a second floor, but the first floor is only a counter and is quite narrow. The "King's Gyoza" are pan-fried and have a new texture? They're small, so you can easily eat them all. The ramen is a simple, old-fashioned shoyu ramen with chewy noodles, and the fried rice had a great aroma and texture. Everything was delicious. There were many other menu items and types of gyoza, so I'll definitely come back again!

After enjoying ramen in Kuramae, I headed back towards Asakusa craving something sweet. However, everywhere was packed, and all the places I had bookmarked were in long lines. :( Wandering around, I remembered "Gyoza no Osama" and decided to give it a try! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ There was no wait, and I was seated at the counter on the first floor after about 5 minutes. ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ The counter was quite narrow, though. (*゚∀゚*) Getting to my seat, the second one from the back, involved squeezing past people. It would have been difficult for anyone a bit on the heavier side. (≧∀≦) I ordered the signature "Osama" gyoza and an Asahi beer, of course! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ I also added an order of yakisoba. ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ The yakisoba arrived first, a huge portion! ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆ It was quite filling. (*゚∀゚*) But it was delicious! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ The thick noodles were perfectly stir-fried. The yakisoba paired perfectly with the Asahi. ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ Then came the "Osama" gyoza. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) The presentation was perfect. The filling was truly just vegetables. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ The gyoza was piping hot, and the filling melted in your mouth. (๑>◡

A long-established gyoza restaurant that draws daily lines. I went on a weekday evening and there wasn't much of a wait, so I was able to get in right away. I ordered gyoza and a highball. The highball came with shochu in a glass and a separate bottle of oolong tea! The gyoza arrived in about 10 minutes. They were small and looked like they were fried. When I took a bite, the outside was crispy and the inside was filled with a delicious, vegetable-packed filling!
