There are many restaurants serving "Gyoza" and usually they serve size for one byte, around 6 to 8 cm (2.4 to 3.1 inches) length. But also there are restaurants to serve very large Gyoza over 10cm (4 inches) length. I introduced "Tenryu" in Ginza previously and here I would like to introduce some other restaurants which are "Taikourou" and "Ichien".
Taikourou (泰興楼)
They are Chinese restaurant but famous to serve very large pan fried Gyosa which is very juicy and tasty. Its size is over 12cm ( 4.7 inches ) length. The head restaurant is located close to Tokyo station. So if you visit Koukyo ( the Imperial Palace ), it should be one of option to have lunch.
