Vancouver’s first Gyoza Bar is slated to open Saturday, September 6 and we managed to get in and get a look at the interior and the menu prior to the public opening.
The room was packed and the sake was flowing (on tap) as diners watched their food get made courtesy of an open kitchen.
The 2,600-square-foot 85-seat eatery at 622 West Pender Street will be serving lunch, dinner, and drinks–including their Aburi Restaurants Canada house sake on tap.
Gyoza Bar is part of the family of restaurants that includes Vancouver’s Miku and Minami.
