Fake reviews removed

The original Minmin, the shop that pioneered Utsunomiya gyoza culture since 1958. Located on Gyoza Street, this is the sacred ground of local gyoza. The cabbage-heavy filling is mild and easy to eat, with no overpowering garlic smell. Selected for Tabelog Gyoza 100 Restaurants 2024. Always has queues, even on weekdays. 9 directly-operated locations, no franchise.

Reviewers say: 'A must-visit in Utsunomiya,' 'Mild and easy to eat without strong garlic,' '330 yen for this quality is amazing,' 'Weekend waits of an hour are normal.' Tabelog Gyoza 100 Restaurants 2024, 2,348 reviews. TripAdvisor #3 in Utsunomiya (4.0 / 234 reviews).
