Gyoza-no Antei Shinjuku

We decided to test out this place in Shinjukus food street as it was a bit more spacious than the other eateries. But we really regret this decision. First of all, they pride themselves in the gyoza (Chinese dumpling "jiaozi"). But they used really cheap measures to make the tastes. Specially the ga...rlic one was horrible, more like garlic with gyoza than the other way around, and worst of all - they fell apart! The HK noodles was also a very cheap and limited dish when it came to the cooking. Just woking the ingredients with loads of soy sauce to hide the flavours. Also having no designated smoking areas so we had to eat in the middle of a cigarette bonanza didn't help. I recommend you rather go to some of the 100s of other choices in this area.

We were brought here by a local who wanted us to try some original Japanese gyoza. Wasn’t too excited about it as gyoza is pretty common back in the states. I’m glad we tried it though because the gyoza covered in cheese was actually very good. They also have interesting choices for dipping sauces. ...Who knew vinegar with chili sauce worked well with gyoza? This restaurant serves mainly Chinese food with a Japanese flair so if you come hungry you will get your fill. If you come after dinner, go with the gyoza and wash it down with some beer or some of their other cocktails. Except for the unique gyoza options though everything else on the menu looked pretty standard. Service was also pretty much non-existent... eat, pay, and leave.
