OHSHO

Yummy Gyoza

I call Ohsho the “gyoza place” because I think they have the best tasting gyoza in Narita town. However, they have lots of other tasty dishes such as fried rice with roasted pork and egg, miso noodle soup with roasted pork, various sautéed vegetable, meat and fish dishes, and they always have a monthly special, as well as sets, which cost a little less. It is a casual diner that is well populated by locals and expats alike. The staff are very friendly and the service is fast. You have to point to the menu when you order as the staff  don’t speak much English but they do try, and they always smile. It is always polite to say “Arigato” which means thank-you when you receive your meal.  They have good Asahi draft beers to wash down all that delicious food. However, they also have jugs of iced water at each table, as well as fresh ginger, hot sauce, soya sauce and other condiments. The gyoza is handmade onsite so it’s totally fresh. When you enter the restaurant the waitress smiles and invites you to go upstairs but if there are only one or two people you can sit downstairs at the countertop facing the kitchen where you can watch the chefs making the gyoza from scratch. Many airline crews eat here as it’s cheap and good value for money. You can find Ohsho restaurants all over Japan.The gyoza is the main attraction and costs only 231yen for 6 pieces which is a bargain. There were two of us dining and we shared 3 dishes and had 1 plate of gyoza each as it is so tasty especially when dipped in the hot sauce mmm!!! The dishes we shared were; fried rice with roasted pork and egg which is 420yen, a miso noodle soup 630yen and sauteed vegetables with pork and prawns 525yen. So, if you make a quick calculation you will see that the bill for two was 2037yen. They take cash only and when you leave all the chefs look up, nod their head and smile and say thank-you. You can’t beat that for service.To get to Ohsho, turn right as you come out Kasai Narita station, then cross the street and it’s right there. If you can’t find it just ask someone where the gyoza place is, you won’t be disappointed.
