About
Gyoza Hohei traces its origins to 2011, when a six-seat restaurant opened in Gion, Kyoto's most traditional district, and became beloved by the neighbourhood's maiko and geiko. Its simple grilled gyoza, made with original dough and filling recipes, earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in the Kyoto & Osaka Guide and built a reputation for months-long waiting lists. In May 2023, the brand opened its Paris location at 11bis rue Sainte-Anne, bringing the same gyoza philosophy to France: small portions sized to fit elegantly in one bite, made fresh daily, with a flavour the brand describes as 'one you never tire of.' The chic way to order, as Kyoto regulars do, is to place a second portion when you're halfway through the first. The Paris venue is the brand's only outpost outside Japan.
Neighborhood & visiting
Gyoza Hohei sits in 1st arr. (Rue Sainte-Anne), one of Paris's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. The house does not publish an online booking link; call ahead to secure a seat, especially on weekends. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional izakaya restaurants often close between service periods.
