Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Gyoza Ichi Goro

Real talk: Best izakaya in Kabuki-cho in my opinion. The various types of gyoza —traditional, garlic, fried, and even the cheese gyoza— are all delicious. Spice things up with the BEST chicken karaage you’ll put in your mouth (they leave a lot of the chicken skin on which gets deep fried and crispy, so good), along with a strong selection of noodle options and drinks. Speaking of drinks, in the Tokyo summer heat (39c/99f) trust me and go for either the ‘lemon tower’ or the ‘orange tower’ — basically a chuhai with the citrus drink of your choice. DELICIOUS and refreshing. I’m drooling just thinking of one now.

The place is right around the corner. Easy to find. Easy access. The staffs are really nice. They have a orange drink thats really tall and looks exactly like the photo in the menu. Rice volume increase is possible for free if you ask. There is smoking area inside for smokers (separately) credit card payment is accepted here. J

Nice food and very lively atmosphere. We could quite easily order our food through our mobile phone (QR code) and pay cash at the cashier.
