Kyoto Vegetarian Tempura Restaurants

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.

This is a fabulous restaurant- great ingredients with wonderful preparation. Among the best!

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.

Charming and delightful setting with excellent service and food. We enjoyed traditional Kyoto cuisine in a private tatami room.

Amazing food

Amazing food and the staff treated us so well. They gave extra love and attention in providing a meal for my friend with Celiac disease. Absolutely recommend!

Traditional and elegant restaurant in a quiet neighborhood. Food was incredible and, although the english speaking waitress was not always availabe, they managed to let us know what was on our dishes. Highly recomended restaurant

We had a fantastic dinner!
