Gyoza was a touristy spot in central Kyoto. We went in hungry and without a reservation, but the food was disappointing — we felt we wasted an opportunity to eat something amazing in Kyoto. We left quickly to try to find another place before closing.
Dishes mentioned
Gyoza Fritti con Pure di Patate
Fried gyoza with mashed potatoes. It's okay, nothing bad. But we're still with our palate at Otani from last night — we need to come back down to earth.
Gyoza di Porco
Pork gyoza. Let's say in case of hunger...
Gyoza di Ginger
Ginger gyoza. Same as before.
Vegetable Gyoza
Vegetable gyoza. This one is a thousand degrees. We're all running because we're angry — annoyed, disappointed to have wasted time in a place not worth it when there's so much amazing food in Kyoto.
