Restaurants in Shōseien Garden

The meat are very good for BBQ with their salted and sauced texture. The restaurant also provide free flow of drinks and vegetable!

such elegance and modern flair within a short walking distance to the main Kyoto station. the rooms were super clean and staff was excellent

The chef meticulously explained how to eat each dish and provided a warm welcome. We brought a birthday cake, and they arranged for us to assemble it, which I found very thoughtful.

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.

When visiting Kyoto, you must try the local tofu dishes. The staff were very friendly and polite, and the restaurant's garden scenery and architecture were also beautiful. Being able to sit down and enjoy a meal in such a lovely environment, away from the noisy streets of Ninen-zaka, was a wonderful experience in itself. I was particularly impressed by the miso-grilled tofu; the green sauce on top paired perfectly with the tofu. The tofu hot pot itself had no extra seasoning, and the broth was simply a piece of kombu. While it allowed me to savor the natural flavor of the tofu, it was a bit too bland for my personal taste. I hope the restaurant can introduce more set menus with various cooking methods to enhance the dining experience.😌

good presentation of foods & great services. Kaiseki is very different with Omakase, this is our very first time enjoying the traditional japanese fine foods. lots of Uni & great toro as well❤️

This was such a great experience! We really enjoyed the different courses and the service was impeccable.

Since it was lunch, and the actual price per person was 500rmb+ (not including the reservation fee included with Klook), the ingredients used in the dishes were average (for example, the ingredients for the bowl were duck meatballs). What I liked most about this visit was the girl who greeted us. She was lively, cheerful, and a bit shy. When you encountered something you didn't understand, she would actively use a mobile phone translator to look it up and explain it. Her hands were frozen red from being in contact with cold water too much, but she maintained her posture and etiquette in front of the guests throughout. Really, you basically can't see such a lovely girl in mainland China. I'll come again next time for her! I recommend tourists eat Kaiseki at noon, firstly because it will be much more expensive at night and you may encounter noisy guests who are drinking and having fun, secondly because eating too much at night is not easy to digest, and thirdly because you can't see the courtyard scenery clearly at night when it's dark. Behind the tea house is the Takano River, and the gurgling water is very pleasant. After the meal, the female owner waited in the doorway, and after seeing us to the door, she waited in the cold wind until we got on the bus and bowed goodbye. This dedication to every table of guests is truly an epitome of the Japanese Kaiseki experience.
