Butahakai last night - The venue - outside are 2 waiting stools and a stack of 2 Kirin beer cases as a makeshift side table. Inside, 6 seats only (maybe 7 if you're all thin LOL!!!) with barely enough room to stand behind. Located in a narrow alley marked with the yellow sign called Ichiyou Alley near the Asagaya JR line station. The gyoza - The best one were the ebi gyoza with a large chunk of prawn inside, the next best is the mabo gyoza, a tofu gyoza topped with shichuan spices and the star of the meal was the baked gyoza, filled with juicy ground pork and cilantro and served with the 'angel feather' sheet of toasted gyoza skin overing the plate. My bill - $50 and I will beg to pay more if I can because it was that goooood!! Please don't let the cat out of the bag yet until I get to go 10 more times lol!!!

+3

I give the Gyozas 3 stars as they are nothing different than what I've had elsewhere. I think tourists, not knowing better or the differences hype it up too much. With that said, the 4th star is for the cucumber in a miso dressing. The cucumbers were delectably crispy and fresh partly because they were cut to the right size and chunks. Most places I've been to slice them thin. They were a great appetizer before the Gyozas.

So delicious. Really. You have to go here and eat gyoja. You don’t regret that you visit here. Thank you for delicious gyoja.

Fantastic resteraunt , unbelievable tasty gyoza. Visit here !!

Best Gyoza ever had in my life!
