Ramen Keisuke
This nondescript bar and restaurant is reminiscent of the typical eateries you'd find in Japan. Diners sit at the long bar table that surrounds a small kitchen, which gets you up close with the chefs at the center as they prep your food.
The gyozas here (5 for SGD8) are freshly made every day with a secret recipe sourced from a reputed Japanese chef. The savoury fillings include pork, cabbage and chives, and are beautifully seasoned, which will definitely have you reaching for more after each bite.

Gyoza Bar
Gyoza Bar is the perfect place for a spot of some delicious pot stickers paired with a glass of great wine or champagne - a culinary match made in heaven, if you ask us.

The gyozas served here are generously stuffed with fresh and well-seasoned minced pork and celery, with a side of lemon instead of the usual gyoza sauce. The gyoza skin makes for a perfect balance of silky softness and crispiness, and the lemon pairs really well with the gyoza.

Chabuton
Right off the bat, you'll find that the gyozas (8 for SGD6) served at Chabuton are shaped differently from the traditional gyoza. Instead of the usual crescent-like appearance, Chabuton's version resemble little silky soft pouches (almost like a soup wanton), yet with a crisp, golden base.

As the gyozas here are flatter than most gyozas you might find, the filling here is slightly less generous but nonetheless tasty.

Osaka Ohsho
The gyozas at Osaka Ohsho (6 for SGD3.60) are freshly made daily, right from its pork-based fillings to its skin. The wrapper used for the skin is freshly handmade from imported Japanese flour. Beautifully bronzed on the bottom with a satisfying crispness, and not excessively oily, the gyozas here will definitely have you chowing them down piece after piece.

Men-ichi Japanese Ramen
Men-ichi at Jurong Point is a great place for your ramen and gyoza fix, if you are in the area! You'll find that the gyozas here (6 for SGD5.90) are bigger than the ones served at Sushi Tei or UMA UMA. Lightly charred and crispy on one side and chewy on the other, its fillings are nicely juicy and tasty, with a great skin to filling ratio.

Emporium Shokuhin
If you want to be spoilt for choice with different gyoza flavours, Burosu Honten at Marina Square's Emporium Shokuhin is definitely the place for you. As a specialty gyoza outlet, Burosu Honten has a wide array of scrumptious gyoza flavours for you to choose from, like wagyu beef, pork, chicken and seafood, and even spicy gyozas.
Opt for their signature gyoza dish, the Seafood Gyoza, which unlike typical gyozas has natural sweetness in taste coming from its generous shrimp and crab meat filling. It will most certainly give you a different gyoza experience from the usual pork or chicken fare.

Baikohken
The gyozas at Baikohken (5 for SGD6.50) are truly delightful morsels of deliciousness. Plump, wonderfully juicy, nicely charred at its base with a perfect skin to filling ratio, you can definitely not go wrong with the gyoza here. If you're up for a full meal, their ramen is also worth trying!

UMA UMA
The gyozas here at UMA UMA are small, bite-sized versions with a sweet juicy filling. Unlike the traditional gyoza fare, the pot stickers here are pork-free so all the fillings are made of a delicious combination of chicken and beef.

Love yourself some gyoza? Check out our top 8 picks for the best places to get them in Singapore!

Gyozas – these delicious, savoury Japanese fried dumplings are no longer the dull side dish you get at a Japanese restaurant, but rather, have evolved to become a menu highlight at many eateries. Gyozas, also known as “pot stickers”, are dumplings stuffed with meat (typically pork or chicken), vegetables, soy sauce and sesame oil, all wrapped in a thin dough.

If you think that gyoza bears a striking similarity in appearance and taste to Chinese dumplings, you’re not entirely wrong. Gyoza actually traces its roots back to China from the popular Chinese dumpling jiaozi, which the Japanese soldiers encountered in Northern China during World War II. So delectable were these jiaozi dumplings that they sought to recreate the dish they had discovered and come to love – in fact, gyoza is actually the Japanese pronunciation of jiaozi! To cater to the local tastes, the recipe was tweaked, resulting in the pot stickers you find at ramen bars today that feature a thinner skin and a more lightly-seasoned filling.

If you love gyozas as much as we do, we have found the best gyoza places on the island that will have you going “oishii!” with every bite. Head up to our gallery above to find out where you can get your scrumptious gyoza fix next!
