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.

overall, everything was super fresh and delicious. it was the best egg custard we had in japan! but most of all, the service was really great, from the chef’s hospitality and skill work to the staff saying goodbye at the elevator outside the restaurant. thank you team Kyoto Sushi Matsumoto! 全体的に、すべてがとても新鮮で美味しかったです。日本で食べた中で最高の卵カスタードでした!そして何よりも、シェフのおもてなしと技術、そしてレストランの外のエレベーターでスタッフの方々が見送ってくださったことまで、サービスが本当に素晴らしかったです。京都鮨松本チームの皆様、ありがとうございました!

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.

Had a lovely time at Kyo Sushi Ookini, with the lovely head chef and his staff. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious and impeccably crafted. If ever in Kyoto, I highly recommend stopping by - I know I would again!

The best dinner we have had in Japan! The staff treated us with so much care. Tsutomu-san even talked in English with us all the time (we are from Brazil). The food was amazing, and the chef delivered a masterful course. I can't recommend it enough!
