Kyoto, Japan｜Gyoza Restaurant Ryūen

It’s a little intimidating if you’re a new foreigner. The menu is on the wall and in Japanese so translate with your phone if you can’t read. I got the 8 piece gyoza set for only 620 yen. It was a lot of food for the price. The two ladies were exceptionally friendly, but I assume it had to do with the language barrier.

The best gyoza (fried dumplings) and fried rice in my life forever and ever. I call them a work of art rather than just food. Seriously.

A long-established Chinese restaurant located in Saiin that specializes in gyoza. I went before noon on a weekday and it was almost full. There seem to be many regulars. Ordered fried rice and gyoza. Fried rice has a nostalgic taste. It has a salty taste that everyone likes. Gyoza has a great visual impact. The sweetness of the vegetables stood out and it was a flavor that everyone would enjoy.
