Harajuku Gyoza has been on our "To Go List" for a while, and finally we managed to visit on a weekend. This place was so lively and filled with a modern Japanese vibe. The menu is simple and quite straightforward, and offers a variety of delightful Gyoza as well as some staple dishes.
Smoked Salmon (Open Gyoza) $10 |
Pork & Prawn Gyoza $9.2 |
Chicken Katsu Curry $13.5 |
Pork Belly Kakuni w Salad $14 |
There is nothing better than a well caramelized fatty pork belly. For me it is a familiar and homey dish. I liked how the pork belly came in generous big chunks. The meat was so tender and flavourful (yes it was fatty, but not greasy if you know what I mean😜).
Soufflé Pancake $15 |
What is the best way to finish your meal other than a plate of super airy soufflé? One of the reasons we came here is for these soufflé (only available on Sundays), which is one of Harajuku Gyoza's signature desserts. This dessert was somewhere between a soufflé and a pancake, it was super soft and light which is very typical of Japanese desserts. There wasn't much flavour from the soufflé itself, so it was good to have the maple syrup and the chocolate sauce to go with it.
Service: 6/10
Atmosphere: 7/10
Highlight:
- Authentic Japanese's quick bites
- Good bang for buck
- Pancakes were good, but inconsistent (some looked better than others)
- Pancakes were also a little pricey comparing to the other dishes
