This place specializes in Shanghai-style soup dumplings, but instead of steaming the dumplings, they cook them gyoza-style on a griddle. More, please.

Hi Matthew,
I’m just wondering where GSD is located in Nakano? My GF and I will be staying in Nakano for a month as well (funny enough, we, too rented an apartment from LiveinAsia)…we love your book and your recommendations, and I tried finding this soupies restaurant on google, but to no avail…so any directions would be great!
Thanks!
Kelvin
Hi, Kelvin!
The crispy soupies place in Nakano moved one neighborhood over, to Koenji. Here is the new location:

The actual name of the restaurant is Mago-chan Shanghai Grilled Soup Dumplings.
Have a great time, and I’d love to hear more about your trip!
