Snowflake
Snowflake serves gyoza and fried rice alongside set meals such as sweet-and-sour pork and fried chicken. Diners describe the gyoza’s texture, the house-made chilli oil and their choices for lunch.
7-10 Saiinhigashijunnaincho, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, 615-001101 / ABOUT THE PLACE
At Snowflake, you can enjoy gyoza with a bowl of rice or pair it with fried rice for a classic Chinese-style meal. One diner who ordered the gyoza set said the filling was already well seasoned, making it a good match for rice even without a dip. They also remembered combining vinegar and soy sauce with the house-made chilli oil. Another diner praised the gyoza, which they said was wrapped and cooked after they ordered it, for its chewy wrapper and soft filling.
Choose rice to make gyoza the focus, or fried rice for a more substantial combination. One diner who ordered the fried rice was surprised by how hot it was and by the generous serving. Others have ordered fried rice with gyoza, a pairing worth considering when you want a filling meal.
Set meals are another option at lunchtime. The menu includes sweet-and-sour pork, stir-fried vegetables and gyoza sets, as well as fried chicken. A diner who tried the sweet-and-sour pork set described chunky vegetables, thinly sliced pork and a rich, sweet flavour with a sesame-oil aroma. Another noted its sweet-and-sour taste and a set that came with half a portion of ramen, pickles and almond jelly. It may suit those looking for a rice-centred meal. One diner reported that the fried chicken set came with rice, ramen, a small side dish and almond jelly; another singled out the chicken’s crisp exterior and juicy meat inside. You can order gyoza or fried rice on its own, or make lunch a more complete meal with a set—the format depends on how you order.
Some diners have found the portions generous. If you are concerned about finishing everything, you could ask when ordering whether a smaller serving is possible. Lunch is offered on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 11:30 to 14:00. The restaurant is listed as closed on Wednesdays and at weekends, so it is worth checking the opening days before setting out. There is dine-in seating, and beer and other alcoholic drinks are available. Gyoza or fried chicken can also make a good snack with a drink. The listed payment method is cash only, and reservations are not accepted.
