Kyoto, Japan｜来山軒

A great little neighborhood mom and pop restaurant. Super friendly with very homey and comforting food. No English menu and that staff only speaks japanese but don't let that intimidate you. I got by with Google translating the menu and looking at pictures on the wall. Most visitors seem to just walk by it. If you're going to stay in this neighborhood, you should support some of the local restaurants too. I had the curry udon and gyoza. Both wonderful.

Went here after a recommendation from the person we were renting from. A wonderful woman was running the shop. There wasn't an english menu but there were three set meals on the wall with pictures. We pointed to one and she made the ramen and chicken fresh there. Fantastic price for wonderful food.

It's really delicious and the staff is super kind, so I go there often.
