Chihana (板前割烹 千花) Gion, Kappo com 3 estrelas Michelin em Quioto

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

A very down-to-earth Michelin restaurant, with simple yet delicious dishes. The whole family serves, creating a very welcoming atmosphere.

J'avais des sentiments mitigés à propos de ce restaurant. Premièrement, il faut préciser que ce n'est pas actuellement un restaurant 3 étoiles Michelin. Il a détenu 3 étoiles par le passé, mais n'a pas reçu d'étoile depuis un certain temps. Klook ne devrait pas le présenter d'une manière qui suggère le contraire. Notre menu dégustation était différent de celui du couple à côté de nous, ce qui était bien, mais leurs plats semblaient plus intéressants et soigneusement préparés. Certains des nôtres semblaient sans inspiration. Je m'attendais également à plus d'interaction avec le chef, mais très peu de choses ont été préparées devant nous. La plus grande déception a été le dessert : une simple glace à la vanille. Nous avons honnêtement pensé que c'était une blague et que le vrai dessert allait suivre. Ce ne fut pas le cas. Pour un restaurant avec une histoire Michelin aussi distinguée, c'était incroyablement décevant. Le personnel était très gentil et le service personnalisé. Malheureusement, la nourriture a besoin d'une amélioration significative pour atteindre ne serait-ce qu'un niveau 1 étoile, et notre expérience était très loin du standard 3 étoiles suggéré lors de la réservation.

Being a Michelin three-star restaurant comes with expectations! The entire meal was fish, so there was nothing particularly special about the food. There was no explanation of the different types of fish, nor any impressive knife skills to witness. We had to actively ask for tea, and it wasn't refilled proactively. The staff, however, were very polite.

Very delicious, highly recommended. The overall flavor is light, and the service is excellent.

Perhaps my expectations were too high, coupled with the restaurant being difficult to find (Google Maps navigation was off by one alley). I had very high hopes for a meal costing nearly 800 RMB per person, but the disappointment was also great. Throughout the entire meal, not a single dish was particularly amazing...

I didn't feel any Michelin three-star quality at all; the service was completely off. The food quality was average, and the tableware wasn't what I expected for kaiseki cuisine; many other places are much better. The price was astronomical, and there was no menu; I couldn't even get one when I asked. The location was also incredibly difficult to find. Don't bother me next time. I advise all my dear companions not to go there again. There are many better choices in Kyoto.

I had a fantastic experience; the chef was very entertaining and professional, and the sashimi was perfect ❤️

The food is fresh and delicious, accompanied by excellent service from the staff. Last but not least, the friendly lady boss provided warm hospitality.

It seems the 3 Michelin stars were awarded to a previous generation, not the current one. Both the food and ingredients are quite disappointing for the price. I can see why opinions are divided. I believe there are many restaurants that offer delicious kaiseki cuisine even without Michelin stars.
