Ikigai - The Dumpling Experience

Nice ambiance and music. I actually felt like I was back home. Ordered the chicken dumplings and chicken bao ban. Chicken dumplings tasted really good. Bao ban was not bad. If I could eat more, I would have ordered some noodles or tom yum. Highly recommended for anyone that is looking for a taste of the Amazing Asia.

Lovely Asian restaurant in a quiet neighborhood in Thessaloniki. We were amazed by the variety of choices, from dumplings to sushi rolls. Very different and interesting dishes, definitely will be back for more! Fast & friendly service, nice & atmospheric place.

Everything was very delicious. We ordered spicy chicken dumplings, four types of bao and chaomin noodles. We ate so fast, I have only one photo))) Can recommend for sure. Not so far from Aristotle square. 10-12 min walk.

Authentic? YES! We Are In Thessaloniki Macedonia. I Enjoyed The Food 💯 Percent.. And What A Great Drink Selection We Will Be Back.

Overall a meh experience. Was a bit weird considering all the positive reviews, maybe we came at a rough time for the restaurant, but honestly where do i start. The server had no idea what the menu consisted of and had no idea what to suggest like it was his first day here. We sat down and the server was polite at the start and then after that it all went downhill. For starters we wanted to order a soju to drink and asked for the flavours they had. As mentioned the server was completely lost and kept suggesting mango flavour followed by I don’t know what else we had so we just left it up to him and he reasonably went and picked the easiest option (mango). We also asked for some sauce pairings for the dumplings which he again said yeah I don’t know what sauces we have. The food came and the spring rolls were decent. Then the dumplings seemed to be a bit undercooked and honestly i gave up halfway through eating them since the meat looked a bit raw for me and the dough was incredibly chewy and undercooked. The atmosphere was alright it was very quiet and also there were some free spots available to sit outside if you are a smoker. Overall as mentioned it was a meh experience, wouldn’t really recommend bothering to come over here when better restaurants with more traditional food exists. Seemed as a very much of a eye-candy type spot.
