Gyoza Mania Shinagawa: Menu, Prices & Reservations
Tokyo Mate
Gyoza Mania Shinagawa is a gyoza specialty restaurant just a 5-minute walk from Shinagawa Station's Takanawa Exit, recognized by both the 2019 Michelin Bib Gourmand and the Tabelog Gyoza Top 100.
They make their dumpling wrappers to order and serve pan-fried gyoza along with 8 types of sui-gyoza (boiled dumplings).
What Makes Gyoza Mania Special
Gyoza Mania (餃子マニア) is a gyoza restaurant where the owner traveled to China to learn authentic dumpling-making techniques firsthand.
The two main items are yaki-gyoza (pan-fried dumplings) and sui-gyoza (boiled dumplings), both made using recipes taught directly by Chinese street food artisans.
The biggest draw is that they stretch and wrap the dumplings by hand right after you order, so you always get freshly made gyoza. You can watch them being made in the open kitchen.

Gyoza Mania Menu Guide
① Mania Gyoza (マニア餃子) — Pan-Fried Dumplings (Signature Item)
The signature dish of Gyoza Mania. The wrapper is stretched by hand right after ordering, giving each dumpling a crispy skin with juicy filling inside. A must-order for first-time visitors.
| Size | Quantity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Sho (Small) | 4 pcs | ¥480 |
| Chu (Medium) | 8 pcs | ¥880 |
| Dai (Large) | 12 pcs | ¥1,290 |
📌 Tip: For solo diners, start with Sho (4 pcs). For two or more, the Chu (8 pcs) is a good amount.
② Sui-Gyoza (水餃子) — Chinese-Style Boiled Dumplings
A completely different experience from the pan-fried gyoza. The wrapper is thicker and chewier. Ordering both types and comparing them is the best way to enjoy Gyoza Mania.
| Flavor | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Ebi (Shrimp) | Packed with plump shrimp | ¥490 (4 pcs) Same price for all |
| Hotate (Scallop) | Rich umami from scallop | |
| Asari (Clam) | Deep, homestyle Chinese flavor | |
| Shiso (Perilla) | Fragrant shiso aroma | |
| Pakuchi (Cilantro) | Intense cilantro kick | |
| Piman (Green Pepper) | Crunchy, addictively tasty | |
| Nira-Tama (Chive & Egg) | Mild and familiar taste | |
| Lamb, Tomato & Cilantro | Lamb + tomato + cilantro — authentic Chinese-style |
📌 Tip: The shiso + cilantro combination was especially good. If you like cilantro, go for pakuchi first. If you prefer a more subtle herb flavor, try shiso.
③ Mania Age-Gyoza (マニアな揚げ餃子) — Deep-Fried Dumplings
Deep-fried gyoza. Not bad, but less impactful compared to the Mania Gyoza and sui-gyoza. A good add-on if you still have room.
| Menu | Quantity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Mania Age-Gyoza (マニアな揚げ餃子) | 4 pcs | ¥550 |
④ Ichioshi (イチオシ) — Recommended Side Dishes
| Menu | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Homemade Chashu (自家製チャーシュー) | Tender homemade braised pork | ¥790 |
| Yodare-Dori (よだれ鶏) | Tender chicken in mala-spiced sauce — perfect with drinks | ¥790 |
