Taste and review
Let's say you want pasta, but you are on a diet. Then consider these a happy medium between those two worlds. You can eat pasta and feel full too.
Aside from Trader Joe's, I'm a really big fan of Asian grocery stores. For me locally, that would be H-Mart.
A weekly item on my list from my local H-Mart is dumplings. They have every imaginable style of filling of dumplings available in the frozen foods aisle.
If I can't make a separate trip, then I'm happy to pick these up. The key to really enjoying these is to get a good amount of color on them. If you steam or microwave these, you might not enjoy them as much as you should.
Why call them potstickers? Because that is your hint that they are getting that crispy crust along the bottom.
Now, this has all the expected flavors from soy sauce to cabbage to chicken and onions. So it is more plain tasting than say the pork gyoza potstickers. I also preferred the pork and chicken gyoza to the Thai Shrimp Gyoza. But preference aside, they all cook up as well as the ones I get from H-Mart.
Beyond eating them straight from the pan, I would recommend a dipping sauce. Trader Joe's Gyoza Dipping sauce or soy sauce or even ponzu would all make a good complement to these.
Overall
A highlight for me is the calorie count at 200 calories for 7 potstickers. It is satisfying on many levels. It's having pasta without the guilt. The chicken keeps you pretty full.
Would I buy this again? Yes, I would buy Trader Joe's Chicken Gyoza Potstickers again. For $2.99 these are fairly priced as well.

These sound delicious! Love Trader Joe’s. I actually make my own Pot Stickers and freeze them. They are fun to make but take some time.

Hey indianeskitchen! Making potstickers is no joke. It takes a lot of time. I totally respect people who can do that. I just wish I had more time to do those awesome things. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing!

I don’t eat chicken but i love the veggie version of these! And i am totally obsessed with H mart :)) the best dumpling diping sauce ever is chinese black vinegar (which i think h mart does have, i have a big bottle i got in chinatown) and do half black vinegar, half soy sauce and a tiny bit of toasted sesame oil.
I like to have the dumplings with a side of sautéed baby bok choy or in the summer a quick cucumber salad with minced garlic and rice wine vinegar.
TJs are a lot cheaper than the ones ar H mart for me

Hey Ttrockwood! I'm so glad I'm not the only one obsessed with H-Mart!! Now that dipping sauce sounds like something I have to look into. It sounds savory, umami, and delicious!! Come to think of it, I haven't fully compared prices, I usually grab what is one sale. Thanks so much for the suggestions!

Hey aRENOlife! Thanks for stopping by! I couldn't agree more. I love to shop at my local Asian grocery stores and these are on par with what I can get in the frozen aisle there.
