SHIINAMACHI: Gyoza no Mansyu for a great 550 yen Gyoza with Brown Rice option! Attentive staff and family friendly. (iPhone 12 Mini)

When you want to save those pennies and always considering alternatives of spending 200 yen for a  Famichiki or 200 yen for a McD's spicy chicken sandwich...For 550 yen Gyoza no Manshyu will give you a better alternative.  If that made any sense. 

6 piece Gyoza is only 330 yen or you can buy 12 fresh or frozen gyoza for the same price and make it at home!  But I got the 550 yen gyoza set.

Mix up your shoyu, vinegar and red chili oil to taste. Free ice cold water pitcher on the table.

Selected the Brown rice (Genmai) over the White (Hakumai)... its so rare to see this in family restaurants.

About 5-10 minutes later my HOT Gyoza arrives! The chefs were non stop cooking. Also the staff said please have a seat anywhere.. got me a table for 4 near the door. Better ventilation cause it was kinda smokey.

Seasoned daikon slices

Brown Rice

6 piece of perfectly made gyoza dumplings!

Egg soup included.

Here we go!

Filled with cabbage and pork.  The wrapper is nice and crispy chewy.

Added a little rice to my soup. In Japan its called Neko-Meshi style...aka Cat Food.  This was back in the day when families use to mix up their left over meals and serve it to pet cats.

Recommended Lemon fried chicken.

You can take home gyoza, ramen, kimchee and many other items and cook them at home. There is a large chilled showcase at the register and just take what you want. Sale days are Tues, Fri and Sunday.

Toilet was sooo clean! Seems staff has a regular schedule to clean.

Gochisousama! Gotta love Japan!

OYAMA: Maneki-neko BYOB Karaoke but they had a 550 yen all you can drink and sing plan that included ice cream! (iPhone 12 Mini)

After having a few plates at one of the BEST kaiten sushi chains Uobei acorss the street I asked the Manekineko staff what kind of Karaoke deals they had... Dude said 550 yen for 30 minutes of all you can sing and drink.... plus it included BEER and Ice Cream! Lets gooo

Cups for the drink bar and plates for ice cream.

Room all to my lonely self.

Just take QR Code invoice to cashier when you are done.  They will give you a call 10 minutes prior to the 30 minute plan ending... but of course I extended.

Mini Mug! Kanpai! Its just too hard to drink alot and sing in only 30 minutes.  I extended 30 minutes.. then another 30 minutes just to get my drink on.  Honestly only had 3-4 beers.

Free Soft Cream! It was so icy and chunky. 

Lots of foodie appetizers.

This menu says adults cant order from here! Guess its more for younger customers... lots of sweet stuff.

Outlet if you need to charge up.

1.5 hours and 1,650 yen later I finally left.  Its such a chill place and each karaoke room has its own A/C but unfortunately no disco ball with those lights.  I suggest going with 2 or more people so when one person sings you have more of an opportunity to drink alot!  Oh the 550 yen deal is only on the weekdays.

OYAMA: Uobei by Genki Sushi has the most repeat women customers! Fresh Wasabi and Grilled Tuna Steak.. YAMMY! (iPhone 12 mini)

 

Im back at Uobei Oyama branch for some of that fresh 60 yen wasabi!

Super comfy sofa seats while you wait.

My number is called... just select the character you chose then your seating ticket will pop out.

I highly advise selecting a table for 2 even if you are a solo diner... depending on who you sit next to at the counter it can be rathe cramped.  

Maguro Steak with Garlic Bits! Thats me!

The tuna was soooo chunky! Wow nicely grilled and the fatty part melted... juicy! Unfortunately I noticed this at the end of my many plates so just had one order! I will be back for this!

Look how juicy it is! Nice firm texture.

Only 160 yen for 2 pieces!

Here we go the special 60 yen Wasabi that hardly anyone knows about... secret menu!

沢わさび 

Im not sure if its ground fresh in the kitchen but it seemed pretty special VS..

...VS the free packets of Wasabi on the table. I should have done a taste test! Nooo

Worst of the bunch... mushy tuna with some red spicy sauce.

The grilled Salmon Mayo was goood... soo flavorful. Remember add a bit of wasabi on top for a little kick.

The shrimp rolls are definitely the biggest bang for the buck. Drip a few sprinkles of soy sauce on the rolls.

Normal soy sauce, low salt soy and sweet sauce.

Lots of heavy eaters! I usually max out at 5-6 plates.

Free green tea and hot water at the table. Self serve.

I had a table for 2 and all the counter seats in the restaurant were pretty much full.

One more order of Shrimp Rolls!  Quite the volume. Had to add a bit of Wasabi.

Hmm... pieces of seasoned fish on rice wrapped in seaweed.

My damage! 35 minutes later the bill 1,000 yen... very nice.

Overall I absolutely love Uobei by Genki Sushi... some items are a miss but most are sooo good! Wish they had more restaurants scatter centrally in Tokyo like Kura Sushi.

I went back for the Wasabi taste test! The 60 yen is creamier and the free wasabi packs are a bit more chunky?  Im really not too sure but that premium wasabi does give a nice luxury feel!
