Kyoto Mo:Mo Pasal/Café Restaurant OA

Nepalese restaurant

👍👍 I’m not exaggerating when I say this. Best curry I have ever eaten in my life so far. I’ve been coast to coast in America and nothing beats what I had last night. Everything was so fresh and flavor packed. We had the chef’s recommendation and not only was it great value but super delicious. I highly...

goya

Japanese regional restaurant

👍 They have a nice selection of Okinawan cuisine and some vegetarian/vegan options (although a lot of veg options seem to be sold out). I had the soba which was very delicious. Also the restaurant is cute with lots of plants growing

MUGHAL Indian Restaurant & Bar

Indian restaurant

👍👍 If I could give this place 10 stars I would. We were absolutely blown away with our dinner here. The service was over the top, the food was absolutely incredible and the chef took time to educate us about the food as it came out. You can tell it is a labor of love. The place was clean, staff was ver...

Kerala Indian Restaurant

Indian restaurant

👍👍 I’ve had lunch at Kerala restaurant several times and I’ve always had a delightful experience. The food is not only the perfect mix of spice and creaminess but is also the most authentic Indian food I have had in Kyoto and Osaka. The service and ambience is also great!

Fuyouen

Asian restaurant

👍👍 "Fuyoen" near the intersection of Karasuma Imadegawa 🤭 I visited for the first time, but it was cheap and delicious, and my favorite shops increased ♥ ️ I'm really happy to be able to order Chinese and Thai food together 😆 There is a lot of volume, and I am very satisfied with the value ⭐ This t...

Thilaga Indian Restaurant

South Indian restaurant

😠 Terrible food and pathetic service. First of all, they claim to be authentic South Indian which they aren’t. None of the food items even have an iota of salt. We ordered “full meals” but mid way thru dinner found out that they don’t offer refills not even for rice. Rasam was just plain tamarind wate...

Xiaolongbao Tsutsumishin-ichi

Izakaya restaurant

👍👍 The truffle dumplings will change your life! We found this place on a whim and were so happy we stumbled upon it! Be forewarned, they do prefer you have a reservation, but they were kind enough to let us in without one after a short wait. Easy ordering, AMAZING food, and an all-around great experien...

RAJU Tanbaguchi

Indian Muslim restaurant

😠 I’m pretty sure they have some “cleaning issues “, that’s definitely not the smells of curry in the air. There is only one staff and he is rude,probably just at me, idk. And menu is so inarticulate. Honestly if u are traveling in Kyoto and some want to eat India food (?) here is definitely not a goo...

Korean kitchen FORK

Korean restaurant

😐 A cafe Korean restaurant, where you can easily enjoy Korean food in a cozy interior! There aren't many restaurants where you can eat Korean food for lunch, but when it comes to Korean food, I have no choice but to go to a Yakiniku restaurant and order a la carte. We have everything from seaweed roll...

Nhà Việt Nam Kyoto

Vietnamese restaurant

😠 Come if you want to experience being treat like beggars and queer foods. Restaurant locates in Japan but the service is nowhere near the standard level of Japanese ones. Food's quality is poor, doesn't taste like Vietnamese food at all. The waiter was particular rude, didn't guide us to the table th...
