MK Guide Recommends
If you find yourself with a hankering for gyoza, Chao Chao Gyoza is the place to indulge and satisfy your craving. Best paired with a beer, as the lively atmosphere leans toward relaxation. The house staple, Chao Chao gyoza, is as crispy as can be, while the shrimp gyoza is plump and juicy. There are also more adventurous options on the menu to try if you’re looking to deviate from the standard path.
This place also doubles as a safe haven for vegans, with plant-based and tofu gyoza. The izakaya like energy and friendly staff live up to the social media hype when it comes to flavor. There are also other locations in Tokyo and Osaka if you feel like double-dipping on your travels.
