Kyoto, Japan｜MUKU

Amazing experience. Very warm and professional staff. Can't Believe the quality for the price. Great presentation and realization of flavors. A few dishes felt like they could have been more interesting--but it didn't detract from the overall experience. The lounge after the meal with complementary coffee was very relaxing and welcome. Highly recommend!

We stopped by here on a whim while searching around the area for some breakfast/brunch. The staff got us seats even though it was a bit late and almost their closing time. The food was absolutely amazing here. Every was well-balanced, and delicious. This was attached to a hotel, I believe, but it's open to all guests. The ambiance was calm and relaxing. Very quiet. We went here after visiting the bamboo grove and the monkey park in the area. I'd highly recommend the same route for others.

Amazing experience. From the kind receptionist who was patient and professional in welcoming us to the table for our lunch without a reservation, to the kind team who took pains to guide us on what we were eating and how to do so. Honestly, not everything suited our palates for the main course, but it was a wonderful introduction and overview of the finer parts of Japanese cuisine. Each dish was very deliberate and carefully executed. I need to emphasise that I have never tasted omelette so delicious before, and I have never had fish so tasty in my life. There were moments where I did not have words to explain how shocked the food made me feel, we had a funny moment where one of the team members mistook my euphoria from eating the omelette for scalding my mouth. I wish booking restaurant seats was easier as a tourist in Japan and when I do come back to kyoto I will seriously consider staying at the hotel that hosts this establishment.
