Sopra Sotto Harajuku in Shibuya

Arrived early and didn't have to wait much.The gyozas were great, rich in flavour and stupidly cheap. Would definitely recommend if you are around.

The quality is decent, nothing too fancy. Do appreciate however the owner hires foreign staff so they can earn some money and also learn the language at the same time.

This place is super cheap and great value for money, but I found the taste and texture to be rather standard. The filling was mainly cabbage and needed more meat, the cucumber should be more fresh and crunchy.

Really cheap for excellent dumplings. The service is great, really nice people

Its a dumpling restaurant, it has great dumplings (and not much else).

Very yummy and reasonable price. Recommended!! I ordered so many plates!!

Great gyoza served multiple styles, along with tasty sides too. The place is also English-friendly. The food is top notch and you can't beat the price. We got several rounds of gyoza and beers and ended up spending only about $10-15 each.

Fortunate to get a seat immediately for a weekday lunch. Very good gyozas which will satisfy any cravings. Recommend to enjoy together with beer and the rice + chicken soup combo which was unexpectedly tasty!

Cheap? Yes. Long line to get seated on a Saturday night? Yes. Fast service? Big NOPE! If you're hungry, bring a snack for the long wait in line to get seated. Hopefully it's enough as you wait a long time for food after you order. Food is cheap, and servings are pretty small. Just order 2 of everything. Food tastes pretty good (not great) but the value is good. I don't know why this place is rated so high.

Dumplings were decent nothing particularly special. Reasonably cheap. 1 star comes from service as we were greeted with hostility from the start to the end of the meal. Waiter forgot to bring one of our dishes and needed to be reminded twice and still tried to charge us extra for it.Overall unpleasant experience would not recommend

Gyoza restaurant that offers a few other dishes, but it’s really the gyoza you’re after. Perfect to grab a beer with some friends and a couple orders of gyoza.

Well worth the stop. Good experience in an intimate setting.I only had the pan fried dumplings, but the food around me looked great also. People have commented on the wait staff here. Get their attention and you’ll have no issues. Food came out fast and delicious.

The line is bearable, the gyozas are superb. Don't expect much more options apart from gyoza, but if you have the craving you'll end more than satisfied. It has also a very reasonable price. Good value for great price.

The restaurant is quite popular in Tokyo, usually have to wait in queue for a while. Dumplings are taste really good. Had many dumplings everywhere I can tell how good dumplings taste like.

6 good dumplings for 300 yen? You can't beat that. Went here for lunch and there was no line. There was an English menu available. Sat at the counter and got to see everything being made. Cool and simple lunch while wandering Harajuku.

An odd place to be sure. Tasty food but lacking the usual hospitality of Japan. The people were fine (more like service in the UK) but the food was good and cheap. For the price we paid I can't really complain.

Owner was snobbish and made snide remarks as we ordered 2 portions of gyoza. Will not recommend simply based on the service of the owner

Cheap and tasty. Couldn’t spot any locals inside... only tourists. Well, it was Halloween in shibuya... that’s probably the reason. The bean sprout salad was really good!

Sooooo good. Best Gyoza ever.

low price normal dumpling, good for tourists. not clean though. Cash only. Plz check each bills. We charged more for a beer we didn’t have.(after we mentioned it the staff don’t even say sorry about it)

Friendly staff, tasty and fresh food and simple vibe! Also quite affordable (we paid 3200 for 3 people).

The best gyoza in Tokyo! Worth the wait if there’s a queue.

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food and a great price. If you're in Harajuku you really HAVE to try it! Every time I'm in the area I drop in 😊

Some of the best gyoza I've had. Very simple menu, which is sometimes the best. I think I ate upwards of twenty gyoza here, and I wasn't mad about it. No English is spoken and very little is understood, so don't be afraid to practice your Japanese. Otherwise, be patient and expect to point and count out how many of everything you want.

There was no queue when we went around 3-4pm. Can’t imagine how people can queue for hours for this kind of quality of gyoza and service. I have tried gyoza at many ramen shops around Japan, including Tokyo, Hokkaido and Okinawa.My bf and I ordered pan fried (2 types of fillings) and boiled dumplings to try. We noted inconsistencies in our yaki gyoza compared to other tables. Ours was “pale” (literally) in comparison. The outer skin was not as crispy as I hoped for. However, the filling was juicy. I’d rather head to Okinawa’s Danbo ramen to eat my gyoza. The cashier did not even say their usual thank you greeting expected of a Japanese joint after we made payment.

Super economical with delicious gyoza but poor customer service by Japanese standard.

Not a big deal shop think they're big deal. Attitude problem waiter. I left without even stepping into the shop. Been to so many restaurants in Japan, big to small, historical to modern, luxury to simple, popular to quiet ones, We enjoy every single one of them. Seriously, until I came to this shop. Our VERY 1ST encounter with such rude waiter at this restaurant in Japan, a mandarin speaking waiter.

Short menu, decent dumplings, cheap prices, long lines. They allow smoking inside - common in Japan, and won't be a problem for some people. But if you have asthma and the people next to you are chain-smoking, it sucks. I've been a few times, and there's not always smokers, but I probably won't roll the dice on this place again - there's better dumplings out there.

Great food, reasonable price, nice service. Even if you have to queue the waiting time is not that long, the rotation of people is high. I would definitely recommend this place.

Very nice Gyoza and prices are reasonable. Gyoza a comes in 6 pieces. Remember to order the cucumber as well. It goes very well with the miso they provide.

Average food, good vibes. Smoking allowed in so if you're very allergic to cigarette smoke, go to another place.. it's a intimate setting with smokers

Came based on the reviews. The placed was busy but we did not have to wait too long for a table. The menu was basic and very straight forward.We could see the dumpling cooked fresh on the grill. The dumplings were light and tasty. However, no disrespect to the restaurant but they tasted like the frozen dumplings you can buy from the store and pan fry yourself at home, so I am not too sure what the hype is about here. Food came quick and the service was okay. Noticed this place was a bit dirty as I looked around waiting for my dumplings.

Very local small restaurant. Perfect food, great experience

A place for inexpensive gyozyas. There are only a few items on the menu but they make them well. The food isn't bad but it isn't a must try either. If you need something to tie you down in-between meals and are budget conscious, this is the go to spot.

Great food for the price, very affordable. Normally the line ups are crazy so make sure you allocate enough time in your trip for it! (We waited for 40 min but the wait was worth it)

Great and cheap food. Busy restaurant with the kitchen in the centre. For a super tasty simple dinner, this is the spot

Got here before lunch, so no need to wait or anything. Got the beanspouts, cucumber, and some dumplings. Beanspouts were pretty nice, a lot of water at the bottom though which was a bit strange. Cucumber was pretty nice too with the miso sauce. Could use a bit of salt on the cucumber though (or maybe that's just a personal preference)The dumplings were pretty ho hum. Firstly, when it comes to the steamed dumplings- they aren't steamed, but rather boiled. This is just a mistranslation in to english on the menu though as far as I'm aware. The dumplings are not the thickest and so when they are boiled, it loses quite a bit of structure. Also got one variety of each fried gyoza. Again, felt like the filling could use a bit more salt, but also the dumpling itself tasted a bit watery/waterlogged. Not the best gyoza around, but wasn't too expensive so can't complain too much. Come if you are in the area, but I wouldn't make an effort to eat here.

Small menu and delicious food. Friendly service.

One of the best gyoza in Harajuku, great place to eat, great staffs, fast delivery and superb gyoza.The price is really cheap and very juicy, expect to eat 2-3 portion for a person :)I include the menu for review, a like is really appreciated, thanks

We waited about 30-45 mins to get inside for dinner. The place was completely packed and we were seated by the kitchen bar which was pretty cool as the kitchen is in the centre so you can watch the staff prepare your gyozas. We ordered both the original steamed and pan fried gyozas and they were both pretty good, but not good enough that I’d recommend anyone to wait this long for a table. However, the food wasn’t expensive at all and it’s a good place to grab some gyozas and a beer if you’re in the area.

It is pretty good, but not as good I was expecting - in my opinion there are much better gyoza places in Tokyo. A fun experience overall and prices are very reasonable.

So cheap and amazing quality! Some of the best gyozas we had during our 2 weeks in Tokyo!

Amazing gyoza at really affordable prices. ¥290 for 6 pieces of delicious gyoza. The restaurant also have a place to hang your jacket if it gets too warm inside. Waiting time to get a table was relatively fast (depending on how fast their customers finish their meal). A must try if you're around Harajuku area.

Very average. The gyoza are not flavoursome enough and they are watery. There is nothing special about them - it would be very easy to find a better gyoza place to dine, so do that.

Excellent gyoza, cooked perfectly whether steamed or fried. Filling was tasty. The cucumber salad with miso dressing was delicious and very fresh.

Waitress took order but forgot to give it to the cook. Assured us food was coming as we watched others served . Had to speak to manager to get our order which, when it came, was not very good.

We had the steamed original, pan fried original and the pan fried leek. The gyoza filling were exactly the same between steamed and pan fried. The dumpling was properly seasoned that you don't really need a dipping sauce, even though they are available. The skin was thin and springy, it kept it's shape and wasn't too overwhelming. The pan fried ones had a deliciously crispy bottom that added an extra layer of crunch to the gyoza.All in all, we really enjoyed it!

My favorite place in Tokyo when I wanna have yummy Gyoza.Delicious. Quick service. Good price.

It’s literally just... gyoza. Probably not worth waiting in a line over 5 min for, but they are quite yummy if looking for a quick snack. Sitting at the counter you can watch them prepare them; it’s a pretty bulk operation. (choice of two different kinds, all are frozen beforehand). The 4.1 star rating for this place seems a bit skewed given what it is— nothing extraordinarily special

Not bad but clearly not that incredible either. The garlic gyoza are unexpectedly common, not tasty enough. The original on the other end are pretty good, steamed or fried. Prices are totally correct but service is average. There seem to be a good working atmosphere in the staff team but they're quite closed when they talk to the client. I guess people waiting in line and having a full restaurant can be stressful but we really felt uncomfortable here compared to other (also crowded) places around Japan. Don't bother waiting to long for it, but if the queue is small you might give it a try.
