Tasty, but not worth the wait - Edit
This one is tricky. The food's great and so is the service, but the wait is kind of insane (took us an hour). We expected to be blown away, but that wasn't the case - think we had better gyoza elsewhere even. Their vegetarian/vegan selection of gyoza isn't super large either.

So yummy! - Edit
Chao Chao Gyoza holds a special place in my heart. On our first trip here we went back 2-3 times. This time we plan on going back a few more times. The risotto gyoza were great, as were the potato! We tried almost the whole veggie menu and enjoyed everything we ate.

Get the green vegetable (vegan) gyozas - Edit
Had the two vegan gyoza options, both were nice but the green ones were by far the tastiest. Meat-eating wife said those were the best gyozas she’s ever had, so good for people with omni partners. 4 stars, just because a five star would involve more options.

Yummy gyoza! - Edit
The vegan options are clearly labeled on a separate meat-free menu. I got a vegan set which came with two types of gyoza, a side, and a drink. There were various sides to choose from and all seemed delicious! I enjoyed the dumplings as well as the bean sprouts, fried, tofu, and edamame. I recommend going!

Tasty gyoza and a fun atmosphere - Edit
We waited in a considerable line but I enjoyed the vegan veg gyoza. I ordered the fries too. Great service! Chao Chao has 2 locations and only one has the veg. options so just make sure you are at the correct location!

Great if you don’t mind the queue! - Edit
So first of all, great vegan and veggie options here! They have a vegan set, pork free and fish free so if you’re avoiding certain foods this is a great place. I got the vegan set with yuba and veggie gyoza and they were delicious. Atmosphere was also great at chao chao.
Read moreBut, there are a couple of things that were not ideal. The main thing being the queue. We waited over an hour to get in to the restaurant, but we didn’t wait long for our food so the service is good. Also if you do order the vegan set be prepared to get less than the meat eaters around you and to pay more. My partner got the meat set and got around 20 gyoza for 1950 yen, I got 10 for around 2200 yen.
Pros: Tasty food, Vegan options
Cons: More expensive for vegan, Smaller portion for vegan

Nice gyozas - Edit
Very nice home-made gyozas, exceptional service and cozy location. Unfortunately is very popular so we got to wait 1 hour before eating. But it was worth it!

Popular place for good reason - Edit
There was a long line out the door but their efficiency was amazing, hand you a menu in line and take your order so that it can start coming out to you when you're seated immediately. Popular with foreigners. English menu and staff spoke English. Food was absolutely delicious, I had vegan and vegetarian options, husband had meat options, we both highly rate it.

Good times gyozas - Edit
Easy ”izakayish” experience with english menus and helpfull staff. Its mostly foregners and usually a bit of a wait, but easilly worth it. Gyosas are spot on and with a couple of sides you get a deacent meal. Vegan stuff is clearly marked and theres is chili oil, soy sauce and misopastes on table.
Read moreIf you are strict vegan this place is not for you, as they cook all the food in same cookers.
Pros: Taste, Atmosphere, Easyness
Cons: Not fully vegan, Long lines

You have to queue to get vegan dumplings.lol - Edit
A gyoza restaurant with vegan options. The English menu clearly explains the vegan options. There are only two vegan dumpling choices🥟
Read more(When we visited, two types of gyoza were vegan: the vegetable gyoza and the yuba gyoza.)
The staff is very energetic and very lively.
It gets crowded with gyoza-loving tourists, so we recommend going right after opening to avoid lining up.
The set includes two types of gyoza, a small side dish and a drink. (Choose your gyoza, side dishes, and drinks from the menu. 😉)

There are a lot of better gyozas out there - Edit
I honestly don't understand the hype. After waiting for 1 hour, the gyozas were not good, probably one of the worst I've had in Japan. The fried tofu was okay. The price is not cheap.

Great - Edit
As a picky vegetarian, this is the best meal I've had after a week in Japan. The deep fried tofu and yuba gyosa are delicious. Very friendly staff!

Nice set menu but not very filling - Edit
I got the veggie set menu, ¥1990 incl tax if you got an alcoholic drink (slightly cheaper but not by much for a soft drink). This included two types of gyoza and a side dish. I had the yuba gyoza (tofu) and vegetable gyoza, with edamame as the side. It was all nice tasting but it was not filling for this price. I went somewhere else and had a second dinner afterwards.
Read moreI arrived around 6.30 pm and had no wait times, but a line soon built up afterwards.
Note that gyoza are cooked with the same utensils as the meat, so don't come here if this bothers you.

Delicious gyoza! - Edit
We waited in line for around 45mins at a little past 8pm tonight but it was worth it! Friendly staff - we were sat at the bar where you can see the cooking. I had the vegetarian set meal (choosing 2x vegan gyoza and deep fried tofu, also marked vegan) including alcohol which was just under ¥2000. Gyoza were very tasty, especially with the spicy miso added (on the table). Cabbage comes with a delicious sesame dressing too. Really enjoyed it.

Cross contamination and long wait - Edit
Not really worth it and they cook on the same cookware than meat. I took the deep fried ones that were a meh. Long queue that is not worthing the hype… but amazing staff!

Worth the wait - Edit
We had to wait in Line for quite a bit, but it's definitely worth the wait since the food was soooo good. The gyoza we're so delicious, I would Love to come back. They have a seperaten Veggie Menü where the difference between vegan and vegetarian dishes is clearly marked. You can also pre-order after your first Order If you're still hungry. Everyone was friendly and the food was soooo good!
