7pm in Tokyo - Gyoza

After a meeting, went out for din dins with some comrades nearby.
Gyoza [餃子] (sometimes written as Gyouza) is originally a Chinese dish but is very popular in Japan - especially at Ramen places.
Inside the fried pastry is usually minced meat with some veggies. This plate for about 360 yen.

Do they sell this where you live? Do try to give it a go when you are in Japan next.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

    Yep. I have them for lunch sometimes, but admittedly never at Japanese restaurants. I've only order them in Chinese places as "wau teep".

      in my experience the chinese ones - "pot stickers" - have thicker skin? I'm not terribly familiar with the variations of each though, so I dunno if there's a Chinese version with thinner skin like gyouza. (well hmmm, now that i think about it, a wonton's skin is more akin to the skin on gyouza)

      To my recollection, "wau teep" is a different variation of the gyoza with more pork and less veggies on the inside and a bit longer. Although it is a different variation, they both originate mostly from the more northern regions of china. Generally thick skinned gyozas are usually deep fried as the contents inside would not be burnt as quickly as thin-skinned ones, the thin-skinned ones are generally cooked by boiling. Oh yeah and i think you dip them in red vinegar instead of the usual soya sauce ^^

      Hmmm.... I think I remember a Japanese restaurant in Leicester Square-- near the Charing Cross Road side. There are gyoza for sale there! I haven't been to London for a few years, though, so maybe it's not there any more...
      I love those little pan-fried dumplings! Delicious!

    Yum! I love gyoza. In Indonesia we used to call it "sue kiau" or something like that. AND it was the food that made me learn how to use chopsticks!

    But of course we ate a lot of it and my friend agrees that, if you eat a lot of it, you'll taste it for days if not hours ^_^

    Gyoza is a standard dish at japanese restaurants regardless of where they are.

    They also work as a decent gauge to see if the place is any good. If the Gyoza is bad, then chances are, the rest of the stuff is also bad!

    Actually in Columbus Ohio (USA) you can get them in the freezer cases of most grocery stores. I buy mine at a local Japanese Shoten that is just down the road, otherwise all of the Japanese restaurants sell them as appetizers.

    Here they're generally called Pot Stickers (kinda makes sense, right?) or sometimes just Chinese dumplings.

      Yes indeed! Vegetable Gyoza! Sometimes I actually prefer these even though I'm an omnivore.

    my favorite Japanese restaurant in the area has super good Gyoza. They also have great salmon skin rolls but that is kind of unrelated. The gyoza there are 6 for $5 (US currency)

    Stop tormenting me with images of good food, Danny! D:

    Kidding. X3

    Anyways... I want to try the kind at NAMJATOWN if I do get a chance to go to Japan. I noticed that they have a long list of people that make those. And there were a few that made me want to try them. X3

    Then again, I'd be seen wearing my "Seeking a Japanese Girlfriend" tee at that time. And many, including Takashi Saito ("Los Angeles Dodgers"; previously "Yokohama BayStars") thought it was funny. ;_;

    But yeah... Those look good. :3

    I live in a place where Asians are probably 40-50% of the population. And the next city (about a block from my house) is apparently 42% Chinese. Getting dumplings (or Chinese food in general) in the San Gabriel Valley is not a problem.

    I never had nay good Gyoza in HK. Well at least good "Japan" level one.

    However we have great Jiao Zi or Chinese dumpling in HK~
    We all take note that even though Gyoza is from China, it's vastly different from the original Chinese style.

    In Poland we have something very similar called pierozki. I read one time that the Russian word for it - pirozki is well known in Japan, cause it was brought by Russian sailors. People sometimes forgot how close Russia is to Nippon. The traditional pierozki are boiled, not fried but I like fried version more, of course we have many different versions too, they are filled with fruits like strawberries or bilberries (these ones are better boiled than fried), they can be filled with meat, cotton chese and onions, and Christmas version favourite with mushroooms and sauerkraut... yummeh ^_^.

    Spend a month and half working in Japan. Gyoza was one of the first food related Japanese that I learned. So whenever I wandered into an restaurant without an Enlgish menu or picture to point at, I'd just say 'gyoza'.

    Ate a lot of gyoza that first week...

Unfortunately here's no Japanese restaurant in my new city. :( But lots of Chinese so maybe I will find Jiaozi (the Chinese original as German Wikipedia says) one day.

    When I lived in Suginami-ku, there was a gyouza van that would rarely ply the streets late at night selling a variety of gyouza, including an amazing garlic gyouza. Sadly he only ever appeared once a month or less... I remember the evenings listening at the window of my apartment for any sign of his loudspeaker messages...
