Senmonten
This place serves one thing only: crisp fried gyōza, which come in lots of 10 and are washed down with beer or Chinese raoshu (rice wine). If you can break the record for the most gyōza eaten in one sitting, your meal will be free and you’ll receive – guess what? – more gyōza to take home. The last time we were here, the men’s record was around 150 gyōza. Look for the red-and-white sign and the glass door.

Ryūmon
This place may look like a total dive but the food is reliable and authentic, as the crowds of Kyoto’s Chinese residents will attest. There’s no English menu but there is a picture menu and some of the waitresses can speak English. Décor is strictly Chinese kitsch, with the exception of the deer head over the cash register – still trying to figure that one out. Look for the food pictures out the front.
