Best Dishes at Gyozanomise Okei
Grilled Gyoza
DumplingsThe signature gyoza features a filling of ground pork ribs, Chinese cabbage, and garlic chives, wrapped in homemade dough. Each dumpling is fried crisp-side down to develop a golden crust, then steamed to cook the filling and soften the top. The result is a crispy exterior with a juicy, flavorful interior. One order is 6 pieces.
Rice Bowl
SidesSimple white rice served in a small bowl to accompany your gyoza. Many diners eat the crispy fried dumplings first, then use the rice to soak up the remaining soy and vinegar sauce from the plate.
Soup
SidesA simple, complementary soup served with your gyoza order. The light broth cleanses the palate between bites of the rich, oily fried dumplings. It's a traditional pairing in gyoza restaurants.
Takeaway Gyoza
DumplingsThe restaurant offers takeaway boxes of grilled gyoza at 700 yen. These are the same quality as the dine-in version and travel well. A convenient option if you can't get a seat but still want to experience the famous dumplings.
