Review: Keisuke Plus Gyoza O' Clock Featuring Unique Gyoza With Sake Pairing
If you are looking for a place to hangout after work, head straight to Keisuke Plus in Funan Mall. It boasts an extensive range of sake and a diverse array of gyoza flavours, making it the perfect spot for food and drink enthusiasts. As the 16th outlet of the Keisuke brand, the design and concept of Keisuke Plus is quite different from its renowned sister brand, Gyoza King. The new concept features a chic ambience and a sake bar offering exclusive sake bottles from Japan. Besides the sake bar, Keisuke Plus offers four seating options such as bar seats for solo diners, booth seats and lounge seats for big groups.

Unique Gyoza
At Keisuke Plus, gyoza enthusiasts are in for a treat. The menu boasts an enticing variety of gyoza flavours, meticulously crafted to tantalise the taste buds. Meat lovers can indulge in the juicy Wagyu Gyoza ($11++/3pcs), bursting with beefy flavours. We highly recommend trying the Wagyu gyoza with the Ryoko Junmai Ginjo Karakuchi Sake; the clean and sweet taste of the sake helps to cut any intense beef flavours. Despite being a dry sake, it paired well with the gyoza and was easy to drink.
We also recommend trying the Foie Gras Gyoza ($12++/3pcs) with the Hinemos Hachiji Sake. The sweet rice taste of the sake surprisingly enhances the gyoza, cutting through any heaviness of the Foie Gras. The gyoza is generous with its filling, making it a substantial bite.
Those seeking more adventurous flavours can opt for the Uni Gyoza ($18++/3pcs) and Truffle Gyoza ($12++/3pcs), each exploding with unique and mouth-watering fillings. Remember to ask for the recommended pairings for each gyoza!
Sake Selection
Keisuke Plus takes pride in its curated selection of over 25 different seasonal sakes, offering you a diverse range of options to enhance your gyoza experience. Whether you are a novice eager to explore new tastes or a seasoned sake connoisseur, the restaurant's sommelier-recommended Hinemos sakes cater to all palates. These easy-to-drink sakes are tailored to different night hours, providing a personalised and well-balanced flavour profile when paired with the delectable gyoza offerings.
Ochoko Lunch and Dinner Set
While the gyoza, sake and sides menu only begins at 5.30pm, Keisuke Plus presents an exclusive Ochoko Don Set (Lunch: $35++, Dinner: $60++), available for lunch and dinner, offering a delightful assortment of premium Japanese dishes served in sake-sized cups (know as ochoko cups). From Unagi and Tendon to Wagyu Sukiyaki and Salmon Ikura, these sets promise a symphony of flavours that cater to discerning tastes. With meticulous attention to detail, each dish is perfectly crafted, providing an exquisite culinary experience. Furthermore, both sets come with a side of miso soup and pickles, whereas the Dinner Set features an additional side of Uni and a Rare Almond Tofu Dessert.
Sides
If you are not in the mood for a full meal, you can try the delicious sides offered at Keisuke Plus. The Atsugiri Pork Cutlet ($18) boasts a thick, juicy cutlet that goes well with the tangy sauce. A drizzle of fresh lemon juice makes the pork cutlet even more addictive.
If you are looking for a standout dish, try the Salmon Confit ($18++)! While it may seem unconventional, the savoury flavours of the salmon certainly pair well with the sake.
Happy Hour Promotion
For those looking to enjoy a casual evening with friends or family, Keisuke Plus offers a daily Happy Hour from 5:00pm to 7:30pm. Enjoy a special 1-for-1 promotion on the Yebisu Beer.
Yebisu beer, known for its quality, makes a great accompaniment to the gyoza, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.
Final Thoughts
With its exquisite menu, carefully curated sake selection, and chic ambience, Keisuke Plus promises an unforgettable gastronomic journey. As the 16th jewel in the Keisuke Group's crown, this establishment showcases Chef Keisuke Takeda's diverse culinary brilliance.
