Gyoza Hohei - Kyoto

We were disappointed with the Gyoza. They only have 2 kinds (8 of each per serving). You are allowed to stay one hour only. The wait outside makes it totally not worth it. We had better gyoza all over Japan. Its a shame to waste time waiting for this when there are loads of amazing restaurants in Kyoto. The gyoza is small and we found them oily. The place is tiny and cramped. Its really small inside.

This is very good gyoza. One of the best for sure. Thin skin. Packed with flavour. Enjoyable.

Very good and affordable gyoza, maybe slightly too oily but this is part of it. This is a very small place with a total of 14 seats, 6 on the bar and 8 in two 4-person tables. It gets crowded outside since the place was on the michelin guide. It took me about half an hour to get in on a Monday evening. Staff was nice but didn't offer to refill water and the space is a bit too small.

If you want to eat gyozas, this is the place. They really know how to do them. The gyozas are crispy in the outside, and the filling melts in your mouth. Didn't try and eat anything else as if felt a waste with such magnificent dish (although I cannot believe they are anything but good. The place gets extremely busy, so be prepared to wait. You can leave your name and go for a walk around or just wait, because it is for sure worth it.

We could stay only for one hour due to time restrictions but gyoza was a tasty and cozy place for me and my partner. We enjoyed a night out in Gion.
