Like gyoza? Love kitsch Japanese culture? Then make a beeline to Potts Point’s newest addition Harajuku Gyoza and receive a warm welcome by an aptly cartoon-esque ‘dumpling face’ logo.
Tucked in next to Hugos, this happy dumpling house is pumping out seriously good – part crispy, part steamed – parcels of goodness. Here, Gyoza is king: pork, duck, chicken, prawn, and vego. All at $8 a pop.
If you feel like a break from gyoza (why?) there’s a couple of Izakaya dishes on offer including pork katsu don, chicken karaage and agedashi tofu.
Wrap your lips around a bowl of edamame and glass of sake to start, before diving head first into a gyoza feast of all things steamed and crisp. Access the separate compartment for banana and nutella gyoza with ice cream – like a crispy crepe, but better.
Go for a fun, quick bite and a dose of Harajuku kitsch.
