We had a wonderful time at Sushi Tempura Gion Iwai. The introductory dinner was delicious and we were well sated by the end of the evening. The two very friendly chefs were deft in their skills and, though the language barrier was there, we were able to find out what we were eating! These staff was also very friendly. One comment…. This restaurant was very difficult to find, especially as its name is not well marked, at least for those of us who do not speak Japanese. When we did find it—on the second floor of the building—we were still not sure we had the right place, again the language barrier. And until I gave them my confirmation papers, they were not sure about us either! All in all I very much recommend dining here.

Seriously good, authentic Japanese cuisine, met my Japanese high standard. Not those attitude “no foreigner please” restaurant. Friendly and welcoming. Waiters were rather new? And forgot to explain some items (salts dip or source dip?) but I would definitely go back.

This was the best tempura I’ve ever had in my life. We had the omakase course which included multiple courses of seasonal tempura, a tendon bowl, tea, and a dessert. It’s a little on the expensive side, but worth every penny spent. I’d recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a special dining experience in Kyoto
