Kaminari Gyoza

Kaminari specializes in Utsunomiya-style gyoza, a pan-fried dumpling that uses a paper-thin wrapper. In Japan, Utsunomiya is a town known for gyoza paired with experimental and non-traditional ingredients, so don’t be surprised to see bentos made with spaghetti, breakfast potatoes, and cilantro dipping sauces at this Little Tokyo shop. Choose between chicken, pork, shrimp, or vegetable gyoza, prepared either pan-fried, deep-fried, or boiled (we like the pan-fried best). Order as a six-piece set or add them to that chaotically good bento combo above, either for a quick lunch or a secret snack away from the office.
