OLD BOY

Initially there were four gyozas in the bowl but by the time I took the shot we ate 3.

I guess it’s the fate of wontons and gyozas throughout the world.

We love them so much. Made with care, so time consuming and yet eaten in seconds.Right now we went with a lamb, anchovies and eel filling. With a rather classic crispy chili oil dressing. Enjoy.

This November we were awarded “Asian Restaurant of the Year 2023” by Gault & Millau.

4 years ago we wanted to bring something different to Brussels. The kind of lively place we felt was missing. Good food, nice wines, cool sounds.

This award is a recognition for that and for all the hard work we have put in OLD BOY throughout the years. This goes to all the chefs, cooks, everyone in our team who have been with us from day 1 and those who are here today keeping the spirit alive.

Awards are great and we feel blessed. What matters even more are all the smiles and thank you we get from you every night after hanging out with us for a while. To all those who have visited us, thank you.

To many more years ✨

Yes Ed Sheeran dropped by while touring Belgium. We knew but couldn’t tell.

Just came with some friends for a nice lunch. As kind, simple, down to earth guy we imagined.
