Tokyo Goyza-rou Sangenjaya Honten

To get here, exit from Sangenjaya station and head west along Setagaya Dori for about five minutes. As the name suggests, this place is all about gyoza. On offer are two types of gyoza: fried or steamed. Don’t like garlic or Chinese chives? No problem, you can order them without. The fried gyoza are on the small side and have thin wrappers. Inside is an extremely simple filling: minced pork, Chinese cabbage and regular cabbage. For all their simplicity, they’re very juicy and have a depth of flavour making them absolutely divine. Order a side of bean sprouts, cabbage or cucumber and your meal will be complete. The gyoza are served at an attractive price of ¥290 a plate. There is another branch of Tokyo Goyza Rou along Chazawa Street.
