Where to Eat in Shibuya

Shibuya is still the most popular sightseeing spot in Tokyo. Filled with both visitors and locals, the area is large and can be overwhelming, so it can be difficult to settle on one place. Avoid the chains and instead check out restaurants off the beaten path, whether a large cafe or the newest department store food court.

    Tokyo’s best gyoza at Harajuku’s Gyoza-ro

    In a country famous for gyoza, it can be tough to decide which dumpling reigns supreme. However, Harajuku Gyoza-ro is the crowd favorite, the same crowd that queues up all day, every day at the tiny establishment. The restaurant, more like a bar, is straightforward. They offer two types of gyoza, one pan fried and the other boiled, and a plate of six costs only 290 yen. Gyoza-ro also serves a few side dishes and alcoholic beverages, but the humble dumpling is the star of the show. Closing at 4:30 a.m., it’s the perfect place to grab a drunken snack.
