Otagi

Kyoto style Japanese restaurant

🫤 Ever since I went there when it was in Kitaoji. At that time, it was good for a reasonable price, but the quality of the food was uneven. The price and the ingredients used have only increased, but that hasn't changed; some dishes are delicious and others aren't. Even if they just raise the price an...

Kobebeef Teppanyaki RIO Osaka Mido-suji

Teppanyaki restaurant

👍👍 This was amazing experience. The food was very flavorful, Cook to perfection, staff was very attentive. The chef was great with his cooking technique and was able to communicate effectively where it was understood as a foreigner visiting Japan.

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.

Ajikyu

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 The food was absolutely delicious but the two owners made it the best meal we've had in Japan!! I would recommend it for the food alone but the venue, atmosphere and the friendliest couple who run and own it made it a very special evening. I hope they read this and see again how much we enjoyed it...

Tozentei

Kaiseki restaurant

酒と肴 vin酌 (ばんしゃく)

Izakaya restaurant

👍👍 ネットで見つけて評価が高かったので訪問させてもらいました。お料理ですが、どれもこれもとても美味しくて、新しい発見もあり楽しませてもらいました。それにリーズナブルなお値段でだったので注文しやすかったです。居酒屋さんなのにソムリエさんもいてて、なかなか面白いなーと思いました。最後はお店の方が外までお...

Kyoryori HAKU

Kaiseki restaurant

👍👍 This time I had a chance to stay here for one night. Staying with the best hospitality frees your mind and feels luxurious, but nostalgic. That's the feeling. For dinner, I was able to feel the chef's attention to detail and thoroughly enjoyed the taste, appearance, and tableware. After the meal, we...

Hyoto Shijo Karasuma

Shabu-shabu restaurant

👍👍 We made a reservation the same day and was pleasantly accommodated even with 6 people! You’re definitely paying for a quality over quantity. However, workers were so friendly, wonderful environment and great way experience an authentic Japanese shabu-shabu dinner. We ordered the beef and pork course...

Kiyama

Kaiseki restaurant

🫤 Must have arrived on an off day. A hiccup in the menu order led to an issue with the pacing of the dishes - some arriving too quickly while others way too slowly. Half the dishes were bland/tasteless, the others could have easily been replicated at other restaurants in Kyoto. Undeserving of a miche...

Yagenbori

Kaiseki restaurant

👍👍 Food was great! Service was a tad slow as this is a smaller shop. I had a great dinner for my wife and i. For two, the tab ended up being about 147 dollars. There is a minimum 6000 yen order here. For the price i felt i got great value for what was given to me. Taste was awesome.

Ichijunisai Ueno Minoh

Kaiseki restaurant

👍👍 Any imagination you might have for this little remotely located joint from Osaka, please reset and go there blank! I was so amazed by A to Z, from the moment I arrived at the door, not to mention warm greeting from the owner, atmosphere of 90 years old restaurant and surrounding was just absolutely...

Tokiyo

Obanzai restaurant

👍👍 We loved our dining experience with Tokiyo. We were fortunate to have an early dinner reservation on a Friday night. We opted for the 6 portion menu where you get to select from 17 dishes available at the bench. The spicy kimchi chicken and Mackerel were delicious. Be sure to order rice to come wit...

Yukari

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Japanese casual formal restaurant. You can have variety of dish course from $50/each. Also, you can order individual. Master is very friendly. Highly Recommend.

Kappo Sakamoto

Kaiseki restaurant

🫤 Very underwhelming for a Michelin Star restaurant. The flavours were simply not present or satisfying. Of all the courses, only one could be considered good. I ended up having a similar meal at another restaurant that was far superior. I hope this was just a one-off, otherwise the Michelin guide may...

Iwasaki

Authentic Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Every dish is perfect. I have been to many michelin star restaurants in japan and korea, but this is by far the best restaurant. The price is good as well. You can enjoy watching how the owner chef prepares food with great efforts right in front of you.

京野菜桜肉鴨肉子鴨

Meat dish restaurant

👍👍 I had been interested in this place for a while, and it was close to the hotel I was staying at, so I made a reservation. It's hard to find in a back alley, but it's a stylish shop. We booked a course meal for ¥6,000 per person. The duck meat yukhoe, horse sashimi, soup, Kyoto vegetable salad, Kyoto...

Mikuri

Kyoto style Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Despite the late time of 21:00 reservation on Friday, we were greeted nicely. And it is a Japanese food and wine shop that even women can enjoy without any hesitation. The owner had a wonderful experience of 40 years sommelier, but it was somehow charming and fun. Marimekko's apron and bow tie look...

Teppan-yaki Kokoro

Teppanyaki restaurant

👍👍 I was treated to lunch as it was my birthday. It was very, very delicious. I've been to several restaurants near Sannomiya where you can get Kobe beef, but the food here was so delicious that my memories of it were hazy. This is a shop that I would like to visit on an important day every year.
