“Delicious gourmet omakase meal”
Absolutely delicious omakase dinner for our family of 12. We were seated in a private room upstairs. The food was amazing, about 9 courses, each one artistic and gourmet (sashimi, wagyu, mackerel, local noodles, peaches, watermelon, and so many other dishes). It was a meal to celebrate our final nig...ht on this Japan trip, and it lived up to expectations. It also happens to be on a charming side street in Gion.

“Mixed evening”
This is probably a good restaurant where we had an off night. You sit at a counter very close to the chef which is always fun. Our first course of sashimi was excellent, but then the chef got busy and completely forgot us. We watched everyone else at the counter getting served while we sat for 45 mi...nutes without food. The servers seemed young and inexperienced, not the quality that the chef deserved, and obviously the source of the mixup. Good food but the night was disappointing

“Amazing!”
Hands down our favorite meal in Japan. It’s a really cute restaurant to begin with. Shoes off, sitting on the floor, quaint little spot. They welcomed us (and two kids) kindly. We hadn’t looked at the menu thoroughly so just ordered a random assortment of things and they were all phenomenal. I’m sur...e the tasting menu options are excellent if that’s what randomly picking things got us! This would be a must reserve upon a return trip to Kyoto.

“Treat like we were the one customers”
Amazing dinner chose al a carte ordering and were not disappointed, we even asked the chef to choose an extra item to make. He was outstanding creating a grilled eel dish that melted in our mouths. Clean, helpful in ordering, well presented and chef congratulated my husband on his birthday. Would go... back in a flash. Thanks for our best meal in Kyoto.

“Yagenbori for the Gion win!”
We loved everything about yagenbori. The ambience is quiet and authentic amid the gion hordes, and the food was lovely. Sashimi to start, Shabu shabu and XXX to follow, and an astounding grilled bamboo shoot to close things out. The service was charming.
