VEGAN IZAKAYA 虹屋 nijiya VEGAN FARM
Vegan restaurant
👍👍 There are only a few seats but the staff were incredibly friendly. Menu is in English and there is a good selection of traditional Japanese foods. Dishes are small and tapas style - you order a few if you want a proper meal but if you just want a drink and snack you can also do that. The food was ex...

Teppan Tavern Tenamonya
Teppanyaki restaurant
👍👍 It’s hard to capture in a review how wonderful and magical of an experience we had at Teppan Tavern. Hands down the best meal we had in Japan, and probably the most incredible all-around dining experience I’ve ever had! We had a reservation at 5pm and were warmly welcomed by the owners (a married co...

Chobo-chobo
Okonomiyaki restaurant
👍👍 We've been in Japan for two weeks now, one in Tokyo and the other in Sendai. This was our first night in Kyoto and after a day of Monkeys and Manga we walked past this place and decided to give it a try. I'm so very glad we did.
Not only was the food delicious, the cook was incredibly friendl...

Tokisai Kyoman
Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Highly recommended! It was a true hidden gem. We came from Singapore and happen to pass by this hidden restaurant at the back of another restaurant at the Gion kyoto area during early Apr when the night cherry blossom viewing along the street of Gion Shirakawa. It is common in this area for there to...

Hashimoto
Japanese restaurant
👍 たこ焼き屋粉魂の２階にある隠れ家的な日本料理屋さん。とっても美味しいです。YouTuberのコタツはんの影響か、以前は店のお母さんと談笑出来ましたが、談笑する様な余裕が無いくらい忙しいお店になってました。嬉しい悲鳴ってやつですね。落ち着いた雰囲気が好きだったので星４つ。美味しかったので、また寄せて貰います。

Nishijin Fujiyoshi
Kaiseki restaurant
👍👍 This is a store I've wanted to visit for several years.
Jojosen Kosei is not Takuzo Kadono, but most of the restaurants are open to customers by themselves, so it was difficult to get a reservation because they were limited to two groups per day.
This time, we were able to make a reservation due t...

The Cellar Kyoto
Restaurant
👍👍 I went to Kyoto on a Saturday in mid-January to celebrate his birthday.
I had high expectations since there were so many good reviews, but I was even more excited to see the conscientious response I received when I contacted them several times in advance, and I'm so glad I went!
Although the space i...

We came here multiple times during our trip because the food was great and there were multiple gluten free options. We got there at opening and it was not busy. The beer on tap was also...

Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki & Teppan-yaki Kamehameha
Okonomiyaki restaurant
😐 Reasonable quality place but nowhere near as good as many restaurants we’ve eaten in Japan, so we were disappointed, particularly in light of all the great reviews. Possibly all customers when we were there were tourists which we think may explain the strangely high rating (4.6 currently - there’s j...

👍👍 Delicious meal prepared by 80 year old grandma. She has been in the originally teahouse for 50 years now. Very accomodating and lovely.
I highly recommend the herring soba, price has increased by 200 yen which is now 1200 yen but it has eggplant tempura and tofu. All dishes are made and grown local...

Takakura Yamamoto
Tempura restaurant
👍👍 Fun atmosphere, charming head chef, accommodated for my dietary requirements. Conversed well with my group despite our limited Japanese. Chose the tempura omakase course. Tempura was light and crispy, not greasy at all, cooked perfectly and the rice bowl at the end was excellent.
