Review for: Reservation + Guen Set

The restaurant is in a good location, very close to Yasaka Shrine. It is perfect to visit Yasaka Shrine at night after dinner. I have a small appetite, so I chose to book the most basic Xuan set meal. I upgraded to thick-cut sashimi at the store. I personally think it is necessary because the taste is very different. The first fish fillet is delicious. The other drinks I ordered have a fish fin or something, which is very interesting and has a performance element. You can try it. The cocktail I ordered said that pufferfish collagen was added, and it tasted like a soft and smooth jelly. It is very convenient to book a set meal. No need to worry about eating during the day. Just arrive on time.

Dedicated tableside service, as long as you are responsible for enjoying the food, the restaurant thoughtfully provided a scarf to avoid the yukata we rented, everything is included in the set meal except Shirako (2500¥), fresh puffer fish, cold fish The skin Q bombs are chewy, and the two flavors of barbecue are good. The last paper hot pot is very special! Friendly and thoughtful service staff, a restaurant with a good Cp value👍

All ratings are very good. The location is near Yasaka Shrine. If you are visiting this area, this store is really convenient and easy to find. You can go to the shrine and save time without queuing. You can make a reservation in advance. The only drawback is that the store is divided into three floors. The stairs are long and narrow. If there are elderly people, you may want to pay attention first.

Review for: Reservation + Guen Set

The service was very nice. The staff were very polite and friendly. The atmosphere is excellent and quiet, and the serving size is quite big because we were very full at the end. The overall experience is 9.5 out of 10. The egg soup with rice was cooked in front of us, and the deep-fried puffer fish was very nice too.

The location of Genpin Gion store is convenient and easy to find, right near the bus stop. Kyoto has frequent buses, so traveling is quite convenient. The food is delicious, fresh and the service is good.

It's easy to book. It's located near Yasaka Shrine. It's not big but it's not hard to find. You can get seated by showing the reservation information according to the time. The food and environment are both good. It's worth trying.

The overall restaurant is full and a very novel experience. The processing of puffer fish dishes is very detailed and surprising. Only the Kyoto store has a narrow space and you have to climb stairs.
