Reviews Summary
Kameido Gyoza is celebrated for its exceptional gyoza and fried rice, offering quick service and an authentic Japanese atmosphere. While some reviewers noted an initial unwelcoming interaction, the majority praise the friendly staff and the value for money. The restaurant's popularity means queues are common, but the fast turnover makes it a worthwhile stop for a delicious and efficient meal.
"The ideal gyoza shop in Tokyo. Quick service, super simple menu, counter seating, delicious food. They know what they’re good at, and stand by it! The gyoza and fried rice were both delicious. We ordered more plates bc it was so good."

"The guy at the entrance was looking at me like “Why are you here?”. Not nice at all. I had to ask “Can I come in?”. First time ever in Japan. That’s why I’m giving three stars for the service. Everybody else in the shop was professional and curteous.
The food was great, I had the 10 gyoza set with rice and soy ramen with a very large beer (633 mL). Altogether 2420 yen.
Except for the guy at the entrance, highly recommended."

"Tastes almost as good as my homemade gyozas. It's a legit gyoza bar for quick eats, cheap and full of "wok hei" - air of wok 😄"
