You won't regret it! Sit at the kitchen bar and watch your meal being assembled in front of you. We had spicy red pepper fried gyoza, coriander boiled gyoza, and fried pork (jam jam) gyoza. With two beers it came to ~¥2850.

Went for lunch on arrival in Kyoto using TA's 'Near me now' app function - so glad we did!

Very friendly and efficient staff (as per all Japanese restaurants)

Amazing selection of gyoza, we shared 24 (!) from pork to cheese to coriander - all of which were simply amazing.

Highly recommended. We later found this is a chain (we saw one in Osaka) and rightly so, the more the better!

This is a small little place where you sit at a bar and they make the food right in front of you. There were many types of gyoza - boiled, fried, spicy, mild. We had several and they were all amazing. The staff was friendly and the waiter who served us spoke very good English that made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend this place.

Tiger Gyoza Shijyo Karasuma is located near subway Shijyo station / Hankyu Karasuma station, and it is open until late at night. So, if you feel hungry in the center of Kyoto, you can go there at any time to try Japanese fried dumplings. There are many different kinds of Gyoza, and you can maybe not decide which one you should choose.
