Nara, Japan｜Kani Douraku

My wife and I have been a great fan of this chain. We made reservation from Hong Kong and arrived with our rental here on March 31, 2018. As always, the food,and in particular the environment, are five stars!

Made a booking at this restaurant as the Osaka outlets were fully booked. Arrived at station, taxi ride to the Nara outlet cost about 1700 yen. Promptly greeted and served to our tables. Lunch was excellent and amazing value. Despite our terrible Japanese, we still got by (staff didnt speak any English, not that it really mattered anyway). Finished our 10 course set lunch and went to settle the bill. As someone used to various service charges, taxes, tips, it was very refreshing seeing only a fixed figure on the final bill. Partner and I decided to walk off our lunch by taking a 5km walk to Nara Park. Overall a very memorable lunch and will likely return again on our next trip (assuming we can't get any booking at the Osaka outlets).

Delicious food in elegant surroundings. I recommend coming for lunch as it is quite expensive for dinner. Lunch courses are 3000 to 4000 yen, and consist of several courses. It was very busy on Sunday at noon, I suggest making a reservation.
