Quite expensive for what you get. The gyozas are nice but not incredible. I do like the dessert gyozas though. I went here with an entertainment book voucher. Probably wouldn’t eat here unless using a discount voucher.
Consistency is key at Harajuku Gyoza. This is another outlet killing it in terms of decor, food, quality & service. When it comes to value, if you use EatClub or the Entertainment Book it works out to be about right.
Poached duck & poached chicken are our go-to gyoza but tonight we added a new fav sharing dish to the fold: slow cooked pork belly kakuni be thy name. Rich, soft, fatty & holding together juuuuust long enough to get in my mouth. So oinkingly lushe.
Super frosty draught beer seductively tempted us to stay but there’s only time for a quick pash-n-dash before our movie. Will return for the more languid version soon.
We have visited most of the Harajuka franchises so decided to try out this Indooroopilly branch. Service was a bit slow, but apart from that the food was tasty & in generous serves. We ordered some vegetarian gyoza which were melt in the mouth delicious, some miso soup, eggplant & foot long fries. The fries were literally a foot long & had a succulent crunch
We visit our local Harajuku Gyoza with a 30% discount voucher from Eat Club. Service here is always friendly and helpful. We place our order before the lunchtime rush. Phuong Tran enjoys her complimentary Lychee Martini while we wait.
Our lunch order arrives after 20 minutes.
* Pork & Prawn Gyoza
* Chicken & Lemongrass Gyoza
* Duck Gyoza
* Miso Soup
Our Pan-Fried Gyoza are freshly prepared and this is a delicious dumpling lunch!
We had such a great lunch. The decor was authentic Japanese, and the prices were very reasonable. The service was awesome, with an actual Japanese waitress.

Grilled pork gyoza, grilled duck gyoza, and a pork belly open gyoza shared between me and my daughter. A glass of Coke and a Sapporo beer to wash it all down.
Mid-week lunchtime, one staff on the floor and one in the kitchen. We came in around 1pm and out the door around 1:45pm. Coming in, I was expecting a long wait for service. Surprisingly, that was not the case.
We always go with the ‘grilled’ gyozas (pan fried technically, but with good food, I’d overlook technicalities). The little bit of char on the gyoza wrapper just gives it more depth of flavour and texture. Happily finished the pork and duck parcels of yumminess.
The pork belly with apple and pickled ginger on crispy gyoza is a favourite of mine. No charring but the crispy skin is so different. Think crispy shell tacos with Asian filling. Only complaint, there was too much ginger which overwhelmed the pork+apple classic combo. Easily solved though, some ginger off the gyoza and left on the plate. Perfect!
Writing this makes me want to visit again!
Sometimes I like getting yelled at, so I come here and order some sake. Their gyoza is pretty tasty, still can't tell if I prefer the grilled or poached versions. I'm not totally satisfied with their limited options overall though.
Great service, great atmosphere, good food and bad prices. Great for a group outing because the price evens out but to eat solo or as a couple can get fairly pricey given the small portions.

Take note that this is of course all based on my unqualified opinion!
My considerations: 1. Food 2. Value 3. Service 4. Atmosphere

Got to love this restaurant chain! If you ever get a hankering for Gyoza this is a reliable and easy option! Sometimes I get ahead of myself and forget to take that sneaky food photo, and today was one of those! The food is all made to order, piping hot when it comes out and there is a decent variety. If you have ever wondered what the open gyoza is, it's not really what I was expecting (see photo with pink pickled onion). It was on a crunch prawn cracker and served chilled. Anyway, I don't mind this place, or the other chains located in most shopping districts. I recommend the chicken, ginger and choice gyoza! Nom!!!
Most west side foodies would know, the Station Road dining precinct offers a number of delectable restaurant options for shoppers, conveniently situated right outside of Indooroopilly shopping centre. Having spent a long hard day shopping (after a healthy dose of retail therapy :P), we decided to grab some lunch at Harajuku Gyoza.
