About this place
The signature gyoza can be ordered grilled, boiled or fried. A serving of Y's gyoza has 6 pieces and costs 380 yen; shiso gyoza and garlic gyoza are 430 yen each. Some reviewers remember the dumplings as small, with pleasantly chewy wrappers and a good balance of meat and vegetables. Try them grilled first to savour the wrappers and filling, then choose a different cooking style next time. One diner also mentioned being able to choose between pepper and house-made chilli oil, a chance to tailor the seasoning to your taste.
The next dish to catch the eye is the boldly named overflowing mapo tofu (880 yen). Diners describe it as numbing and spicy, with a hearty portion that made them want rice. Another reviewer also remarked on its rich flavour and generous quantity, calling it a dish that cries out for rice. Rice is 220 yen, so it is an option if you are after a more substantial meal.
Alongside beer, the drinks list includes a sour set, in which you choose a base spirit (naka) and a mixer (soto). One diner enjoyed a lemon sour made with awamori, and the set also lets you pair awamori with a mixer of your choice. At the Itabashi branch, Y's House serves small plates as well as noodles and rice dishes, with tantanmen among the options for a final course. A diner also reported that baseball is shown inside, making it a possibility for an evening drink while watching a game.
