" Kaminari Gyoza Bar is a must-visit for anyone in search of delicious gyoza! The unique flavors and textures of their dumplings are unparalleled. I was especially impressed by how crispy the pan-fried gyoza turned out—a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The staff were not only professional but incredibly friendly too, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I must add that the variety of dipping sauces they offer has changed my expectations of what gyoza can be. I can't wait to return and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Kaminari Gyoza Bar didn’t live up to the hype. While the gyoza tasted good, I found the dishes to be too oily for my liking. The service was a bit hit or miss; it took longer to get my food than I anticipated, especially during lunch hour. The atmosphere was pleasant but felt cramped during peak times. I'm glad I tried it, but I don’t think I’ll be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am obsessed with this place! The gyoza at Kaminari Gyoza Bar are hands down the best I’ve ever had. Each dumpling is filled with fresh ingredients and cooked just right. I also appreciate the vegan options available. Not only is the food amazing, but the staff goes above and beyond to provide excellent service even on busy days. It has a cozy ambiance where you can enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. Can’t wait to go back again and again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been visiting Kaminari Gyoza Bar regularly and have never been disappointed. Each dish I've tried has showcased the authentic flavors of Japan. I admire the fact that they take their time with each batch of gyoza, cooking them to perfection. The atmosphere is friendly and lively, making it great for a casual night out with friends. My favorites so far are the shrimp gyoza and the tofu gyoza; they are packed with flavor and don’t skimp on quality. The only downside is the limited seating, which means it can get crowded quickly. Nonetheless, I highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came across Kaminari Gyoza Bar while exploring Little Tokyo and boy, was I happy! The dumplings were fresh and exceeding my expectations. I ordered their vegan bento box, which included a variety of gyoza. Each was flavorful, and the side dishes complemented them well. The only thing I’d suggest is improving the seating availability as it can get cramped. The staff was lovely and accommodating, which added to the overall pleasant experience. Recommended for anyone who wants authentic gyoza! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Kaminari Gyoza Bar left me wanting more! I typically go for ramen, but I decided to try the gyoza this time due to a friend's recommendation. The variety of fillings was impressive, including options for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. I particularly enjoyed the spicy tofu gyoza but found it a tad too oily. The atmosphere was nice, and the setup felt very inviting. The only downside was the wait time, which was longer than expected on a weekend. Nevertheless, I’d return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm so glad I found Kaminari Gyoza Bar! The gyoza are some of the best I've had in America, incredibly authentic and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and delivery was quick, even while it was busy. The only downside was that the seating is limited, and I had to wait a bit for a table. But once seated, everything was worth it. This is a must-try spot for gyoza lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
