I went to Gyoza Gyoza for dinner and caught up with Viv last Friday.
Full disclosure: I didn’t even have the courtesy to wait for her before starting to put in the food order once I sat down in their Melbourne Central branch. In my defence, it had been a crazy workday, and I had to skip lunch; hence I was famished. I did apologize to her. Halfway eating my grilled miso rice — with both hands, making a mess of myself — no doubt making her feel second-hand embarrassment, I realized this place might be my favourite chain restaurant in Melbourne (Hoka Hoka Bento in Jakarta and Sakae Sushi in Singapore).
They have delicious tapas-style Japanese food. From edamame, yakitori, takoyaki to miso soup. And their drinks are delicious. So are the desserts.
I have lots of good memories of Gyoza Gyoza. I have been here with Fafa, I think twice with Jik and at least one time by myself. It’s my go-to place for comfort food. Their price range from single-digit but doesn’t mean they are cheap because you tend to eat a lot here.
