This was hard for me to write but I cannot process how awful the entire meal was. We had dined in over the weekend and had a reservation for their Father's Day Omakase special for $125/person that included an 8 course meal with a specialty drink included. By the end of course 3, I was ready to get my check and leave. The time in between each course was painfully slow. Next, there was absolutely no thought that went into each course. Everything that came out was convoluted with no flow in the way the courses were presented. It was clear that the chef lacked vision in what he wanted to do and it showed. They had advertised A5 wagyu but what was presented was over cooked deli meat slapped on top of a giant bed of salad or compressed on top of sushi rice. I couldn't even finish the dishes after one bite. The entire time, I couldn't help but wonder why did they have to ruin the integrity of such a delicate protein? Not once but three times. Which brings me to the next course, the wagyu burger patty itself was overcooked and the fondue sauce that it was slapped on made everything soggy and disintegrated before I could even get a bite. This was by far the worst meal I've ever had and I won't be returning. *The best part of our meal was our server who was great and very knowledgeable in presenting each course. read more

The gyoza was delicious and so was the eel and tamago hand roll. The inside was nicely-decorated and the waiter was friendly since they were willing to give out suggestions about what to order. The chicken udon was soothing and pretty good and the portions were large. Overall, I would come back to try more things on the menu. read more

Nice little ambiance but the food was alright. Not crazy about it. The staff is friendly. The food looks better than it tasted. read more

Low key dissatisfied and sad, wont be going back. Ambiance: Cold. For a brand new place, that was purposefully remodeled, they had no thought to the below freezing weather and wind chill that Wichita is known for in the winter months. Our table along with the ones in line with the entrance were almost continuously blasted with freezing wind every time a customer came in. It made eating only possible with our winter jackets on. Service: Subpar. The food came out sporadically and they never refilled our beverages or checked in with us until it was time to pay. It felt very poor for such an elevated vibe. I hate pretension but more so when there is nothing substantive behind it. Food: They just lacked polish in the worst way. I guess I should not have expected Din Tai Fung levels of quality but folks, to call this a gyoza bar is a travesty. The menu is seriously lacking gyoza and what was served was both poorly presented and even more poorly prepared. Even the appetizers were just thrown together. Also, the forks bothered me. They were difficult to maneuver because of their lack of ergonomic shape. Overall, I don't wish this place ill but I probably won't be returning for a long time, if ever. The gyoza was such a let down after the quality and caliber of restaurants I have frequented in other cities that it saddens me to even think about it. I actually waited a few weeks to write this, out of sheer need to avoid thinking about how far below my expectations this place fell. Hard pass. read more

First of all let me just say that I am not a fan of Yokohama, but this place is much better! The owner was smart to open a bar bite Japanese reactant in Wichita. too bad I didn't get a picture of everything because they were all so good! Our waitress was friendly and very mindful about clearing out plates before bringing new items, I wish the table was bigger. read more

The food? Chef's kiss. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made by someone who knows their way around a kitchen. We ordered the iron pan fried rice, cheesy gyoza, and deep-fried gyoza--basically, a fried food dream team--and loved every bite. Zero regrets, only happy taste buds. Now, let's talk drinks. The menu is full of fun surprises, and I went with the Palo Umitini. It was so good, I almost forgot it came with a gummy bear garnish... ALMOST. Because let's be honest--who doesn't want candy with their cocktail? Peak adulting. The atmosphere is everything you'd want: warm, stylish, and just chill enough to make you consider moving in. Service was a little bumpy--they forgot our waters and my daughter's drink at first--but we eventually got them halfway through the meal, so hey, better late than dehydrated. Can't wait to come back and try their Omakase. If it's anything like what we had, I may never leave. read more

We came here knowing the restaurant specializes in gyoza, but we were actually drawn in by a viral video from a popular foodie that highlighted their sushi. The sushi plates in the video looked phenomenal, and I was especially excited to see that they offer uni. Unfortunately, the actual sushi menu in person was very limited and underwhelming compared to what was portrayed online. I also asked whether it was possible to make a customization to a sushi roll and was told no modifications were allowed. Because of that, I ended up having to pick a roll somewhat blindly. After struggling with the menu, I asked our waitress whether the sauce on one of the rolls was spicy. The menu had the sauce listed on a piece of tape with no spice indicator, and she assured me it was not spicy. When my roll finally came out (well after others at the table, as food came out very sporadically), the sauce was extremely spicy to the point that I couldn't eat it. By the time our waitress returned, I let her know and sent the roll back. She did offer to replace it, but given how long everything was taking and how randomly food was arriving, I decided not to order anything else and just shared bites from my family's plates. For families, it's worth noting there is no kids menu. My daughter ordered the regular gyoza, which were surprisingly dry and didn't come with any dipping sauce. Even frozen gyoza typically include a sauce, so this was disappointing. She ended up using soy sauce, which made them overly salty, but it was the only option. We also ordered edamame, but the sauce was very runny and overwhelming. Since you eat only the beans and discard the pods, it felt messy and unpleasant, especially since we were never given a bowl for the discarded pods. On top of all that, we were seated at a table directly in front of the door and were freezing the entire meal. Our appetizers also came out after our main food, at which point we barely touched them. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and poorly executed, especially considering the hype that brought us in. Between the service issues, food timing, lack of flexibility, and disappointing menu, this just wasn't a great experience, and I don't see myself returning. read more

Gyoza Bar - The Uni was very good, very fresh & clean. - Japanese Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

Ambiance - unassuming from the exterior but a very pretty back dining room is hidden away, while the front has a more typical sushi bar feel. Drink - Full range of soft drinks and such, but also a very nice selection of beer, including imports. Had some hot sake and a Japanese beer, and quite pleased with both! Food - Dumplings made how you choose so pan fry them, fry fry them, or have them steamed, they are really delicious. We had the pork and veggie ones pan fried and steamed, and both were delicious! Also enjoyed the volcano rock waygu which was super tasty. Udon kimchi noodles were very filling, and not too spicy for an average consumer. Original ramen was delicious and highly endorsed by both the adult and the child eating them! Dessert - they had an array but we did the heart attack chocolate cake and it did not disappoint! A "Matilda" sized piece with chocolate mousse on the plate. So rich, so decadent and maybe the best dessert for the price point that I have encountered in the last two decades of my life. 10/10 recommend, but not a single serve lol Service - walked in and was seated immediately. Super lovely staff. All very friendly and gracious. Accommodating, attentive and great recommendations. Parking and restrooms - plenty of parking in the lot area, and two restrooms (single seat) in the hallway read more

Gyoza Bar - Uni shooter shot - Japanese Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

My husband and I went here for the first time and had high hopes but unfortunately it was subpar. The actual restaurant was super clean and high end looking. That part was amazing. Although, as far as the food goes was underwhelming. My husband got the 10pc pork and vegetables gyoza steamed and it was completely over cooked so the gyoza was mushy and falling apart. For myself, I had the 10pc wagyu and vegetables pan fried. The gyoza was still mushy and it was not sealed properly. We also had the cucumber appetizer and it tasted like straight mayo. The only thing that was okay was the tofu dish with this red sauce. read more

Good food, good service. Gyoza was great. We had a cucumber salad with plum dressing that was amazing. The Chicken Japanese curry was good but wont get it again. It was a breaded fried chicken breast with a savory gravy and rice. No veggies. Gravy was ok but I definitely was disappointed it's called a curry and not gravy. read more

The Gyoza is wonderful, I thought the pan fried was good, but the deep fried is wonderful! I tried one of their specialty gyozas which was also good. The miso carbonara udon is insanely rich and delicious. It's an adorable date night spot! The servers are incredibly nice, but I've had some issues on the timing of food all 3 times I've been since the opening- I'm happy to keep coming back while they work out those bugs. read more

The restaurant looked very nice and clean. The atmosphere would be an amazing place for a date if the food wasn't so subpar. My table tried the tuna cigar and the taste threw all of us off. The taste was very fishy, but I figured maybe it just wasn't my type of food. I ordered the deep fried pork and vegetables gyoza as well. The gyoza kept falling apart and the flavor was just mid. Not the greatest. I also ordered the miso carbonara udon and it tasted like I was eating a block of cold, American cheese. Very pricey for the quality of food I received. Our waitress was really nice though! My udon noodles came out before the appetizers and everyone else's entrees but they had just opened when I first came so it's not that big of a deal. read more

We had a party of 6 and shared a lot of delicious dishes. Wonderful food and wait staff. The happy hour martinis were so unique. Wonderful atmosphere! read more

Overpriced for what was given. I had the original pork and vegetables gyoza and the wagyu beef and vegetables. They were both too mushy for my liking and kept falling apart so they were okay. They seemed to not be sealed properly. Maybe I have to come back and get deep fried for a crunchier shell. The udon however just tasted like spaghetti. The restaurant was clean and was nice inside. Overall I am not sure I would come back often. read more

First time there this evening. Wow the food was amazing the service excellent and atmosphere perfect. This restaurant should be packed it's a gem!! Recommend highly read more

I was WOWED. Everything was absolutely delicious. Food came out very quickly, service was great. My favorite was definitely the tuna cigars, the hand roll, and the wagyu gyoza. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was the onigiri didn't seem to have much filling. Great way to spend Valentine's day! read more

A little pricy, but service is always good. Food is great. Love the gyoza, waygu appetizer, and held hand sushi.

Today my spouse and I decided to give gyoza bar one more try as he hadn't been there yet . We ordered two waters to start , one of which has a bunch of Fuzz floating in it . It's just water so we just asked for another. Then we ordered the chicken curry katsu. Here's where it got frustrating. The server brought my food out 15 minutes prior to my husband's food being brought out. So we sat and stared at my food because if Ide eaten he would have been eating alone. By the time his food got out the server said it was because when they initially were going to serve us both they realize the chicken was still raw. So apparently the best thing to do was to bring my food out and offer my husband rice while we waited lol . (Not a plate of their famous gyoza) but RICE lol that was quite laughable, and rude if you ask me. After 15 minutes of us sitting staring at my plate they brought out the food . Now for the taste. The flavor is pretty good but it's very clear they use thick cuts of chicken thighs which end up EXTREMELY tough and rubbery . If you want katsu curry we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend skipping this place and making your way to KYURAMEN where they use quality meat and a beautiful panko fry and cut . In the end the server brought us a free mochi ice cream card which was nice but we ended up leaving it on the table because we did not feel like that remotely made up for one of us having to wait 15 mins until our food was cold to start eating because the others food was raw . read more
