Gyoza in Kamata 蒲田の餃子屋 ニハオ



Nihao is a gyoza shop in Kamata, just south of Tokyo on the Keihin Tohoku line. This gyoza shop is featured in many gourmet magazines and TV programs, famous for its "hanetsuki gyoza" or gyoza with a lacy, crispy bits from the pan still attached to the gyoza. Here is my cousin, Ko-chan, with a plate of the famous hanetsuki gyoza. He looks like he may be a member of the Japanese yakuza but he's not.

This shop has been on my "Go List" for years and it was nice to finally go. Not only do they have pan-fried potstickers but also steamed and boiled - all of them are good.

Very humble settings in the basement. We came early and it was packed by 6:30 p.m. Very popular with groups. Plenty of Chinese dishes as well.
