Gyoza Kaikan (餃子会館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A long-beloved dining hall by locals in Takeo. The specialties are 'Moshi-Moshi Ramen,' the signature ramen, and bite-sized gyoza dumplings pan-fried until crispy and fragrant. The classic way to enjoy them is to pair the simple, nostalgic-tasting bowl of noodles with the small gyoza that can be popped into your mouth in one bite, and during lunch hours the restaurant fills with local families and regular customers. The unpretentious shop and its unchanged flavors are very much the heart of the town, a place to take a breather during your sightseeing rounds. As locals will tell you, when you come to Takeo, this is the place – be sure to experience this signature combination.

Tips

The lunch rush tends to be crowded with locals, so coming right after opening or shifting your timing slightly will mean less wait. The gyoza may be available for takeaway, so check at the counter if you'd like to purchase some. It's wise to have cash on hand for payment.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour. Arriving for an early lunch before the peak rush will mean shorter wait times
