restaurant review: harajuku gyoza lou

So close and yet so far....

(Tokyo, Japan).  While shopping along Omotesando (near Harajuku) - and getting carried away by all the awesome stores - I was suddenly hit by a feeling quite foreign during my trip to Japan thus far ... namely hunger.  I had not planned for a meal since this was one of my "spontaneous" days so I decided to go onto yelp and see what was nearby.  Out of the choices that popped up, I quickly noticed that Harajuku Gyoza Lou had an amazing amount of reviews and lots of stars - always a good sign.  The written reviews were all quite glowing and consistent.  This restaurant served a very simple menu of gyoza (fried or steamed) and cucumber salad, and by all accounts, it was delicious and cheap.
