Gyoza-San (Marina One)

Mala, Unagi, Tom Yam Kung, Kimchi. These are flavours of gyoza which can be found at Gyoza-San, a small outlet in Marina One with limited dine in area. Interesting lunch option for one working in the area, plus it’s 💯 % Halal certified. There’s also a S$10 Value Bento Meal option where one can choose a bento + soup or salad. Great deal especially getting a meal in CBD area is not cheap.

Gyoza-San Chilli Crab Bento X 3 Original Gyozas (S$12.90)
Rich eggy spicy sauce over rice. Best for one like me who doesn’t like to dirty fingers but want to eat chilli crab. Mix in the soft boiled egg for extra richness. Accompanied with sliced pickled radish and 3 pieces of original gyoza served with sesame soy vinegrette dip.

Special Unagi Gyoza! (S$7.50/ 6 pieces)
Special blend of chopped Unagi & chicken
The pan-fried dumplings were packed with chunks of eel. Best accompanied with the sweet Teriyaki dip.

Looking for some greatly gratifying gyozas that are halal? Look no further than @gyozasan_singapore, which is Singapore’s first dedicated gyoza merchant that’s been halal certified. They’ve got seven unique gyoza varieties, and if you’re looking for a full meal, they’ve got ten Gyoza-Bento sets (G-Bentos) for you to select. Otherwise, they have six packs of gyozas, which seem like the perfect fit for a six pack of beer.
⠀
The six piece gyoza box I got was the Kimchi Gyoza ($6.50 nett), stuffed with the same tasty chicken filling as the Original, but now powered up with the inclusion of kimchi. While undoubtedly tasty, I do feel that Gyoza-San could be bolder with the spice & sourness of the kimchi in the dumpling.⠀
⠀
Gyoza are always easy to love, and Gyoza-San makes it even easier with their delicious Gyozas & Bentos. Thank you for the invite, @gyozasan_singapore & @scalemicroinfluencers!

Upon the bossman’s recommendation, I chose the G-Set 10, the Special Unagi/Yakiniku Combo X 3 Original Gyozas ($14.50 nett). Every G-Set bento comes with three Original Gyozas, which have a delicious minced chicken stuffing wrapped in a tastefully thin dumpling skin and hit with that special steam & panfry combo. The minced chicken is very fine, and it feels more like a meaty paste than the traditional pebbly feel of minced meat. Incredibly delicious, and I greedily gobbled the gyozas in short order.⠀
⠀
The real MVP of G-Set 10 is the yakiniku beef, which is cut significantly thicker than any other yakiniku beef bentos I’ve had before. The beef used is a short rib cut, resulting in fabulous fattiness. It’s simmered in a savoury soya sauce based stock for maximum deliciousness, and I absolutely enjoyed every meaty bite of beef. As for the sizeable slab of unagi, the teriyaki glaze was delectably sweet & salty, but I happened to get a particularly bony fillet of eel. That’s just how unagi is though, you just gotta play the odds.

Featured here are the following two items:
-Gyoza-San Chilli Crab Bento x 3 original Gyozas ($12.90): I freaking LOVE THIS sooo much! If you love spicy food, you HAVE to get this! The chilli crab sauce was super shiok! Plus an onsen egg was given, so imagine oozy egg + spicy shiok chilli crab sauce with very meaty crab meat = SUPER GOOD COMBINATION! Highly recommend this! Ate up every scoop of my food! This set comes with 3 original crispy gyozas on the side too!

-Special Unagi Gyoza ($7.50 for 6 pieces): This was so so unique! Where else can you can find a gyoza that has unagi and chopped chicken? The sauce given to accompany this gyoza was also different from the original one, it was a sweet dipping sauce. There were visible bits of unagi in the gyoza. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

📍Gyoza-San
5 Straits View, B2-29 THE HEART, Marina One Show Gallery, Singapore 018935

It does seem that the basement of Marina One (also dubbed The Heart) is probably seeing quite an uptake in terms of the tenancy rate especially in the new year, and with the office workers in the Central Business District returning back to office these days — amongst some up and coming F&B tenants that are in the midst of moving into the The Heart includes woobbee; a drinks kiosk serving milk tea and other beverages, as well as a new F&B concept named Nani Bowls which are both in the midst of renovation works at the time of writing this post. One new F&B establishment which has already opened its doors at The Heart would be Gyoza-San; while its very first shop space at the basement of Sun Plaza is a hole-in-the-wall establishment which is meant as a takeaway kiosk, its newest digs at The Heart allows for patrons to dine-in — the dine-in seating comprises of two counter tables that cater for three (3) and four (4) wall-facing seats each, though patrons can ultimately still choose to dine at the communal dining areas within Marina One itself. As per its namesake, Gyoza-San specialises in Japanese Gyoza — offering patrons with gyoza of various flavours, patrons can opt to order the gyoza as-is in a box of six pieces each (one fixed flavour per box); patrons can opt for a set which adds a side and a drink at $4.90 extra. Alternatively, one can also opt for the various Gyoza-Bento Sets — each item is pretty self-explanatory in its name, which consists of the elements involved and three pieces of their Original Gyoza; the bento coming with an option to switch up Rice to Chilled Cha Soba at $1 extra, and an additional $2 for those who are looking to change the flavours of the gyoza.

Having skimmed through what Gyoza-San has to offer on their menu, we found ourselves going for the Special Unagi / Yakiniku combo — we also switched up the x3 Original Gyoza for x3 Tom Yang Kung Gyoza instead as well. All orders at Gyoza-San comes in a rectangular disposable box — it also comes accompanied with a tub of soy sauce with julienned ginger on the side, much like what one would expect to have when eating Xiao Long Bao, as well as kimchi on the side. Going straight for the Tom Yang Kung Gyoza, these came with a bright red aesthetic — perhaps a way to indicate its supposed fiery. Whilst the skin itself was pan-fried and somewhat crisp, the inside of the gyoza is filled with a reasonable amount of meat filling within. What really surprised us about the Tom Yang Kung Gyoza was the flavour it carried — there was a distinct hint of lemongrass that came with the gyoza, whilst coming with zippy tang that one would usually associate with Red Tom Yum. The Special Unagi is likely to be the same one which would have come as a filling with the Special Unagi Gyoza which is also being offered as a flavour of gyoza and Gyoza-San; some might find the slab of Unagi here a little scaly, though we felt that it wasn’t quite bothersome to us. The slab of Unagi was also more on the chewier side; this is especially so for its skin, which does take some time to chew apart. Otherwise, the Unagi is coated in a thick layer of sweet Unagi sauce for flavour — quite satisfying if one isn’t too picky considering the nature of the establishment. The Yakiniku here was also actually pretty decent; the meat carrying a slight hint of gaminess but otherwise was stir-fried with a sweet-savoury sauce and caramalised onions that also provided the bed of short-grain rice beneath some flavour — the slices of beef being tender and did not require much effort to chew apart. The inclusion of kimchi was a well thought out move; the kimchi providing a tangy crunch that refreshes the tastebuds from all the meaty and heavy-tasting elements that came with the bento.

There is a lack of affordable food options within Marina One; that being said, Gyoza-San does not quite add up as an affordable option within Marina One either. With prices ranging from $5.90 to $7.50 for a box of six (6) pieces of gyoza, and with the Gyoza-Bento being priced from $8.90 to $14.50 before any extra charges that one may incur from changing the default serving of rice to chilled Cha Soba or from opting for a different flavour of gyoza, the prices at Gyoza-San does seem to match up against slightly more pricier options such as that of some salad / grain bowl spots for those whom might see themselves incurring the extra charges. That being said, Gyoza-San did indeed stand by their motto that is splashed across the wall in the dine-in area at their premise in Marina One; they have indeed served up “Gyozas redefined”, especially with a good variety of gyoza of different fillings that are unique to their menu. Having opted for the most expensive Gyoza-Bento item listed on the menu, we did feel that the portion of the dish works just about right for us — we aren’t quite sure if it would work the same for those with a larger appetite ordering for a Gyoza-Bento that comes with lesser elements however. Given our experience, Gyoza-San is a spot worth considering going for its inventive take on gyoza for those who work in the vicinity of Marina One, though would more likely be an occasional treat than an everyday lunch option for the average office worker.
