In Asian we also have dumplings. but not sure if it’s similar to polish pierogi. If you have tried both let met know which one do you prefer, no biased.
IMO the dough is completely different and the fillings tend to be quite different too. I think they’re mostly similar as a concept, but not necessarily in flavor!

It’s completely different. **Dough**: Gyoza uses thin dough; pierogi has thicker, softer dough. **Filling**: Gyoza favors meat/veg mixes; pierogi can be savory (potato, cheese) or sweet (fruit). **Cooking**: Gyoza is pan-fried/steamed; pierogi is usually boiled, sometimes fried. **Size/Shape**: Gyoza is small, pleated; pierogi is larger, smooth-edged. **Flavor**: Gyoza has bold seasonings; pierogi is milder, served with butter or sour cream.

no. ignoring the shape, dough is similar (wheat flour, water and salt), but fillings are completely different. no asian flavours in Polish dumplings – the fillings are either mashed potatoes with cottage cheese and onion (ruskie), with sauerkraut and wild mushrooms (z kapustą i grzybami) or with slow cooked beef (z mięsem).

No. The seasonings, dough and fillings are different and don’t taste similar

Dumplings in some form or another are the local specialty of most of Eurasia. I’ve talked to a Japanese guy who used to study in Cracow and he says that he used to order pierogi when he wanted some familiar home-style food, but didn’t feel like cooking, although he says that pierogi with sweet fillings like fruit are a uniquely Polish thing.
Gyoza dough is a little different, though, and usually thinner.

absolutely no.
most important thing is – pierogi has filling which is already cooked, gyoza has raw meat inside
