Jurakuan
Restaurant
👍👍 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...

Juugo
Soba noodle shop
👍 The best soba I've ever had in Japan.
As soon as the order is received, the owner will make the noodles by himself.
Also, he tells you how to eat the soba well. When it comes to taste, I would like to praise noodles the most. It's really delicious. If I visit again later on the philosophy way, here...

Tsuchifuku
Japanese restaurant
👍👍 We came as a family of 5, staying just two minutes walk away from this restaurant. We happened to chance upon this restaurant while finding for something to eat.
Whole family agrees that the food was absolutely delicious, from the tempura to the soup and pork cutlet. Taste was spot on and it has a...

Hanamakiya
Soba noodle shop
👍👍 Happened to walk by and saw a line so I figured why not, only to find out they make the soba noodles here onsite. There’s a small window inside the restaurant where you can see the chef creating the noodles. The staff was attentive and helpful despite the language barrier. Also helpful, they have an...

Yoshuji
Soba noodle shop
👍👍 Hands-down some of the best eats in the greater Kyoto area. Vegetarian sets are amazing, in the $20-$30 range. My sister also eats gluten-free, and they were incredibly kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Aburasoba Nekomata
Ramen restaurant
👍👍 Delicious food and friendly staff. We were served promptly and very satisfied with dishes that we had ordered.
I definitely recommend this restaurant - especially ramen. The place is small so it might be necessary to wait in line to get a seat :)

Bread & Coffee Hirarinto
Cafe
👍👍 We stayed in Japan for almost a month and this place was one of our favorites places to have breakfast. It's a traditional Japanese restaurant and although the owners can barely speak English, they are very resourceful and very kind. They also have English menus, so you won't have any problem. The b...

Nishijin Yebiya
Soba noodle shop
😐 西陣の老舗のうどん屋さん。私は衣笠丼、妻はかき揚げ丼定食。衣笠丼は初めていただきましたが想像通りの味でしたが美味しかったです。ミニそばもそれなりに。
妻のかき揚げ丼は凄い量！とても完食は出来なかったようで、味も濃いためかなり残してしまいました。京都は美味しい出汁のうどん屋さんが多くハイレベルな店が多...

Houzan
Soba noodle shop
👍 Views were good since you can see lots of greenery in the back of the restaurant. If you are not a fan of soba they also have things like "Tendon". This comes as tempura, rice, and miso soup. Overall I liked the meal, but my only wish is that the portions were bigger. There is an english menu.

Menbo Yamamoto
Udon noodle restaurant
👍👍 Authentic small noodle room with Udon, Ramen and Rice bowls. All food we ordered was excellent and the owners were super friendly. It's not very easy to find - there are no clear signs, and you need to go through a narrow passage (nicely lit) to a wooden sliding door. Inside are a few tables, direct...

Sarashina Kishimen
Udon noodle restaurant
👍👍 Came here for lunch with my parents.
Light and tasty noodle soups. The noodles looked like flat rice noodles, usually used in pho.
Perfectly cooked oyako-don was flavoursome and neither salty nor soggy.
I felt "simply the best" philosophy in their dishes.
Their taste, flavour and style have been han...

Soba noodle shop
👍👍 I am writing this post as I am eating a bowl of tempura udon from my former favorite restaurant. I was sad because I was thinking about the experience I had at Honke Owariya. I was sad because I now know I'll never enjoy a bowl of soba/ udon like I did before. Now all udon/ soba at any place will ta...

Ukiya
Soba noodle shop
😠 They forgot to bring me the hot soup to dip in my soba noodles until I had almost finished the noodles with the tempura. The whole time I thought I had made a mistake with my order and was wondering how I can eat cold soba noodles on their own. The funny thing was the lady came and brought the hot...

Shoemon
Soba noodle shop
👍👍 This traditional style soba restaurant is a true hidden gem. Cheaper than other restaurants near by and arguably much better. Taste and portions are huge, and you eat right next to a river. What more could you ever ask for? Thank you staff for a wonderful experience!

👍👍 This soba restaurant is only found in Kyoto! It's so delicious! When I was lining up at the entrance, an elderly person told me about it, and I went in with high expectations. I ordered the tempura, and the tempura was crispy and delicious, and the soba noodles were fresh and chewy.
As you said, it...
