About this place
The appeal of Ri Gyoza’s dumplings seems to lie in how they differ from the crisp bite their browned appearance might suggest. Diners describe them as having lacy, crisp edges but a smooth, almost slippery texture like boiled dumplings. Others mention juicy filling, with the meat juices mingling with the sweetness of the vegetables. Pan-fried gyoza can be added to a set meal, or ordered alongside other dishes to share, making them a flexible choice as a main dish or an extra.
Sara udon is another dish that comes up repeatedly in reviews. Diners report a mix of textures in the noodles, from browned and crunchy patches to softer sections, alongside a fairly robust seasoning. One person who ordered the sara udon lunch set said it came with rice, salad and soup, making it an option for a more substantial meal rather than just noodles.
For another set-meal option or a side to go with the gyoza, consider the stir-fried potatoes. One diner noted that the thinly sliced potatoes were pleasantly crisp, offering a different texture from the hearty flavours of the sara udon and dumplings. The restaurant serves lunch in Hakozaki, and small plates and alcoholic drinks are also available in the evening, making it suitable for a gyoza dinner. The listed payment method is cash only, so it is sensible to bring some.
