Tokyo Gyōza Akari Hanare

It’s my first time in Tokyo and I was delighted to find this little restaurant. The place ha so much character and charm. When I first came in to book, the guy there didn’t speak English but was very patient with my Google translate stuff :)) It was pretty booked up at the time we want, but I decided to delay dinner a bit to try this place out. I was pleased and so were my friends.
The menu is all hand-written, describing some of the dishes that were created originally here. The gyoza are easy to eat and hearty (if you go with the 4 type combo). I also recommend the shrimp avocado salad with biscuits, such fresh and interesting taste.
The drinks are okay. The music and the vibe is cool.
All in all it was a memorable experience, definitely worth a try if you are staying nearby.
(The restaurant is near Hotel Metropolitan Edmont)

This little place had so much character. Stumbled upon it on the way back from watching Coldplay concert in Tokyo Dome for late night dinner. It was fantastic, they had Coldplay playing in the background and the gyoza! So delicious! Made our night. Thank you for great food and ambiance.

Amazing spot for gyōza! I am a huge fan after 2 dinners! The service here is great and the food is awesome.

They have a variety of sauces you can choose from and each order comes in a set of 4 or 5, which makes it great for being able to try a couple of different types.

I’d recommend any/all of them, but the genovese (pesto with nuts) and the cod roe sauces are 10/10! I also really enjoyed the shrimp gyōza!

We are definitely coming back next time we’re in Tokyo!
