Kyoto, Japan｜Izakaya Kyoto-Gatten

A fun and lively spot to enjoy a meal with friends. Everything is fresh and tasty. Unexpectedly, the chicken was so juicy, tender, and packed full of flavour it was the highlight of the meal. Bottomless drinks are a nice touch! Our server was extremely kind and made the experience that much better.

Walked in on a busy Saturday evening without a reservation, and they were able to seat the two of us. Incredibly nice staff were patient with our very poor Japanese skill. Chose a series of tempura a la carte and they were all delicious. The pumpkin tempura was especially tasty! Recommend this establishment!

A lovely place to take a break from the crowds outside and enjoy a delicious lunch with a great range of drinks. The loaded sushi not only looks amazing but it is very delicious. It was very thoughtful that the rolls underneath are actually 8 small cucumber maki, so it makes it very easy to eat without creating a huge mess (I initially thought it was 4 overloaded gunkan) The tempura is excellent, crispy and not oily at all- the dipping sauce is so good! Vinegary and spicy which is very different to the regular style. The best part of our experience was definitely the service - English speaking and also so friendly, helpful and cheerful. Takata was a young gentleman who looked after our table and he was very attentive, friendly and so smiley it was such a pleasure :) we enjoyed our meal so much !!
