It was dinning experience in this restaurant despite we can’t late already after lunch time The staff here is excellent and super friendly. They are foreign workers in Japan from Philippines ???????? Tempura Omakase is very new to me/us. Normally omakase would sushi but this time we had tempura It costs less than yen 4000 per person with very good portion of food Amongst all tempura, the beef is super delicious. And the prawns are also very good too … At last the staff offered us photo session that he took a picture from the iPad and print it out for us that for sure it made the customers would never forget about this restaurant - good job I highly recommend this restaurant

This was such a magical dining experience! Not only was the food so delicious and well made, but the service was outstanding. The staff are so kind, joyful, and observant. The staff made the experience so entertaining. I had a smile on my face the entire time. I highly recommend if you’re craving tempura and are in Kyoto. Reservation isn’t required but I would recommend reserving just in case! I will definitely be dining here again whenever I return to Kyoto!

The dining experience in this restaurant is super fun (maybe not for introverts lol). The staff here is excellent and super friendly. Food is pretty good, though I expect a bit more tbh. Amongst all tempura, the beef is super delicious. And the prawns are also very good too. I highly recommend this restaurant!
