A fun place with tasty gyoza, but perhaps more suited as a fast food or causal bistro. The huge restaurant was a little intimidating for being one of the only two patrons when I visited.
I really appreciated the effort put into designing the kawaii mascot and the cosy Japanese style serving dishes. Each of the plates had a different print!
The service was also impeccable. Granted there was only one other customer, the lady was super friendly and attentive. She was generous and didn’t make a fuss when I requested mayo and ketchup for my fries!
I also really enjoyed the food and was extremely happy when the new items that were not yet on the menu were available. The cheeseburger gyoza (9AUD) were nicely fried with a nice crunch and yet were not too oily. The cheese helped to get the meat together, but as a cheese lover I would have wanted more cheese with the meat.
The foot long fries (8AUD) were definitely a monster to conquer, I think I still feel full after two days of finishing it myself. They were beautifully fried and the potatoes were creamy on the inside. But I wished there were more flavour on the batter. I definitely needed ketchup and mayo to add to the fries.
All in all, I really enjoyed my experience at Harajuku Gyoza, but I’m not sure when I’ll be back. Now, if it were a street stall at a mall, I’ll probably visit every week 😜
