My wife and I made reservations to dine while on our visit to Kyoto. The food was amazing. It changed our perception and expectations of grilled eel and was truly one of our best meals in Kyoto. Thank you for allowing us to dine at the restaurant.

Our lunch at Unazen was fantastic. Best unagi and tamagoyaki we have ever had. I was not a fan of unagi before and only came to this restaurant because my husband loves unagi and we heard this was the best. Indeed! We have been to Japan 3 times pretty much just to eat. The restaurant is very small and quaint. Waitress was extremely friendly. The only caveat is that our lunch took over 2 hours. We were not expecting to be there that long for lunch. We had the first time slot and were the first to arrive. If you have the time I would absolutely recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely incredible. This restaurant ruined eel for me, because it will never be as good as it was here. I don’t think I can ever come back to Tokyo without eating here.

Really great value meal! Make sure to come hungry It was interesting to try unagi in so many unique ways, I loved the egg roll. I also really liked trying the Kansai style, its very crispy. Staff were very nice
