Loved for over 70 years since its founding in 1954, Okei is an Iidabashi neighborhood Chinese restaurant renowned for its crispy, aromatic skirted gyoza. The filling is crafted without garlic using Chinese cabbage, garlic chives, and ginger, resulting in a juicy bite with a remarkably refreshing aftertaste that attracts crowds lined up well before opening time. The menu is strictly focused on gyoza and appetizers; the 3-appetizer plate featuring items like pickled mustard greens and gizzards is well-received as an accompaniment to drinks while waiting for the gyoza to fry. Guests also enjoy the egg fried rice served with a ginger-infused soup, as well as the light, salt-broth tanmen. Featuring 7 counter seats and 14 table seats, the interior maintains the nostalgic ambiance from its founding days, with counter seating offering the exclusive view of gyoza being pan-fried right before your eyes. Non-smoking throughout, with no reservations accepted and cash-only payments, it is an easygoing spot to drop by on your own or with friends.
