Kyoto, Japan｜Kyoto Takoichi - Shijo Aburanokoji

It's our first time to Kyoto, we ventured out from checking into our hotel and saw this little place. We were welcomed and sat inside with other customers. The waitress was very pleasant and patient with us and explained what the dishes were. The food was delicious, we had the crispy chicken and shrimp dumplings. The vibe here and the music was upbeat. I especially liked how the cook and waitress interacted, they were almost like singing. We payed with Visa and had such a joy experience. The other customers were smiling and joking with us and seemed very happy that we liked it. We will be coming often for a light snack.

What a hoot! The food was great, the servers spoke great English which helped us out a lot (sumimasen!) We really enjoyed ourselves. Order the chicken cartilage in the sweet spicy sauce - it was awesome!

Great little place, good cheap food and really cheap drinks. Friendly staff, definitely recommend
