Kyoto, Japan｜Kohrai tei

I found this place completely random but what a surprise! The atmosphere is perfect and the owners are very kind, even though I was struggling with the Japanese. I had okonomiyaki and garlic rice. Totally recommend. I loved that they prepare the food in front of you.

One of the best restaurants I've tried in Japan, and I've been to a lot. The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is just as good as the ones you get in Hiroshima, and the teppanyaki is to die for. Not only was the food amazing and exceptionally cheap, it was also cooked right in front of you by a lovely staff! We felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun talking to them while eating. Although they mostly speak Japanese, they will do their best to communicate in English as well! All in all a great restaurant that doesn't get enough customers, so don't hesitate to go pump those numbers up! An easy 10/10 for me.

Yummy. Handled vegetarian constraints well.
