Gyoza Hohei - Kyoto

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

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.

The gyoza was good, the side dishes I tried(cucumber, potato salad) were really good. One of the staff was not nice and rushed me to finish. I’ve only been there 25 minutes… That’s why it’s not 4 stars but 3 for me

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.

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.
