" Kaminari Gyoza Bar is a delightful gem in Little Tokyo. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the glowing reviews compelled me to try it. Once I entered, I immediately noticed how vibrant and clean the space was. The menu, though focused on gyoza, offered a fantastic variety of fillings, including options for vegetarians. I opted for the vegan gyoza, and they did not disappoint! They were bursting with flavor and had a perfect texture. The service was also commendable; the staff were knowledgeable and made great suggestions. All in all, a wonderful place to satisfy your gyoza cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've heard so much about Kaminari Gyoza Bar, and finally got a chance to check it out! The atmosphere was really warm and inviting; it made me feel at home. The gyoza were freshly made, and each bite was full of flavor. The service was excellent, and even during the rush, I felt well taken care of. It's a small place but has a lot of character. Would totally recommend to anyone who loves authentic dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience didn’t meet the expectations set by the numerous rave reviews. The gyoza were certainly good but not exceptional, and I found the prices a bit high for what I received. They were on the small side compared to other places I’ve been. However, the service was commendable, and the vibe of the place was nice. I believe it has great potential; perhaps I just caught them on an off-day. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful little gyoza joint! I just love their attention to detail and the way they prepare each dish as if it were made in a true Japanese kitchen. The gyoza tasted incredibly fresh; I could tell they were made on-site. My only downside was that they were a bit small compared to what I’m used to from other places. But the amazing sauce options available make up for it. The red chili oil was highly recommended by the staff, and I couldn't agree more! It's now a personal favorite. I am definitely returning soon to try more menu items. " (*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*)

" Had lunch at Kaminari Gyoza Bar today, and it was fantastic! I ordered their chicken pan-fried gyoza and was blown away by the seasonings. Each bite offered a flavor explosion that had me wishing for more. I sat at the high bar seating at the front, which gave me a nice view of the hustle and bustle of Little Tokyo. Service was quick, and the staff kept a smile on their faces even during busy hours. I highly recommend visiting! " (*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*)
