Few bites disappear faster at an event than our gyoza: thin-skinned Japanese dumplings with a crisp, golden base, a delicate steamed top, and a savoury, juicy filling inside. Pan-fried to order and served with a citrus-soy dip, they are the perfect handheld starter or buffet add-on for any gathering.
What gyoza are
Gyoza are Japanese pan-fried dumplings, adapted from the Chinese jiaozi but with a thinner wrapper, finer mince and a signature cooking method known as yaki. The dumplings are seared on one side, then steamed in the same pan so the base turns crackly-crisp while the top stays soft and pleated.
How our gyoza are made
Because our kitchen is strictly No Pork, No Lard, we fill our gyoza with seasoned minced chicken rather than the traditional pork. Our Japanese culinary team prepares them with:
- Minced chicken blended with cabbage, garlic chives, ginger and sesame
- Thin wheat wrappers pleated by hand for the classic crescent shape
- A pan-fry-and-steam finish for the crisp base and tender top
- A house ponzu or soy-vinegar dipping sauce on the side
How we serve gyoza for catering
Gyoza shine as a shared bite. On a platter they are arranged with the dip for easy grazing; in a buffet they sit in a warming tray; in a bento they make a satisfying side alongside rice and a main. We typically plan three to four pieces per guest as a side. Explore the full menu, add them to a Japanese buffet, or scale down with a Japanese mini buffet for smaller groups.
What to pair with gyoza
These dumplings are rich and savoury, so we like to set them beside lighter, fresher items. A bowl of miso soup, crisp sashimi or a clean noodle dish all balance the dumplings well. For a full table, combine them with our sushi and sashimi platters or our udon noodle bar.
Dietary notes
Our gyoza are made with chicken, never pork, and our kitchen uses no lard. We are not halal-certified. The wrappers contain wheat and gluten, and the dipping sauce contains soy; please tell us about allergies when you order so we can advise.
Ordering and delivery
We deliver islandwide across Singapore, from the CBD and Marina Bay to the suburbs.
