Kyoto, Japan｜Gyoza Chao Chao - Shijo Kawaramachi

Delicious gyozas! The consistency on the cook and char on these gyozas need to be called out. Every serving we had did not disappoint. Plus, these are affordable! We ordered the pork, shrimp, chicken and mozzarella (grilled) and pork with extra garlic. We got there around 6pm and got a seat pretty quick but there was a line forming after we were seated. Highly recommend this place on your next visit to Kyoto!

We arrived to this shop 20 minutes before its opening and we're the first in line. We had high expectations but we were amazed by this place. From the moment you go in the staff is super friendly and happy so they get you in the nice mood vibe. Now, the important stuff, we didn't go for the recommended set menu and instead tried a lot of different gyozas. Here are all of them ranked from what we liked the most to the least: 1. Chicken and mozzarella 2. Shrimp Gyoza and chili sauce 3. Ginger Gyoza pork 3 4. Boiled ginger Gyoza (PORK) 5. Mushroom risotto cheese gyoza 6. Garlic Gyoza with green chilli mayonnaise (PORK) 7. Chao chao gyoza 8 8. Pork Gyoza with fresh tomato & cheese We recommend all of them except #8, we were disappointed that it was not fresh tomato but rather ketchup. Anyway, make yourself a favor and try this place yourself, you will not regret it!

You see the queue in front of the restaurant? Thinking about going somewhere else? Don't! It's worth the wait.. All kinds of gyoza's available, pan fried, deep fried, boiled, with chocolate, with pork, fish, vegetarian,.... we tried a bit of everything and of course we liked some better than others, but that's different for everyone Try the main one (with pork) and the desert (with chocolate and ice cream) for sure! Also service is very nice, with English menus available. For more content, follow @foodpatroll on Instagram 📸🤳
