Saryo Tesshin

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. Blown away by this amazing dining experience from start to finish. The restaurant itself is a complete work of art. The architecture, design, and artwork are stunning. Service was top notch. Every bite was so savory.. the Parmesan soba was something I never knew I needed in my life and I’m honestly devastated I won’t be eating it again as this is such a rare dish. Dessert was so tasty we even bought more at the register to take home. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a more upscale experience. Absolute perfection 👌🏻

We agreed that this was the best meal of our trip. This place feels like you are entering a world class spa. The whole restaurant is beautifully designed and is serene. We tried the duck and wagyu. The waygu was the standout. Their gin and tonic was also really good. So good, that we went to the distillery and bought a bottle. If you're fortunate enough to get a spot, you are in for a real treat.

We just ate here tonight and could not wait to leave a review. The design and vibe of this place is absolutely on point. The dining room is spectacular. The staff are the loveliest, most generous and friendly people we have met. The food - is absolutely perfect. Definitely the best meal we have had on our trip. Cannot recommend this place any more highly. We had the set dinner menu and it was well worth it!

Absolutely incredible experience at Saryo Tesshin! The soba noodles were perfectly cooked. I had the freshest uni I’ve ever tasted—truly a standout. The ambiance and decor are warm and elegant, making the whole meal feel special. My husband ordered the Miyakoman Beef Soba Set and couldn’t stop raving about it. We ended the meal with their delightful biscuit dessert—so good we bought a box to take home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a refined and delicious soba experience!

This place was above and beyond what we were expecting. Family run restaurant with a very clear love of sharing their passion for soba noodles with the world. So glad we were able to come and experience it during our short stay in Kyoto.

Mind blowingly awesome and unexpected. This review is for the mozzarella soba. 10/10 I’ve had a lot of fusion sobas in my time living in Japan for 9 years but this one takes the gold. Complex due to the dashi broth, three kinds of cheese, and Kyoto-local spices you can add to taste. No flavor overpowers, they all synchronize beautifully. While you’re eating you’ll wish you ordered more, but by the time you’re finished you have this feeling of pure satisfaction. Well done Saryo Tesshin.

This was the original review I gave them after my meal (back in August-24). I am glad they've been recognized by the michelin guide: "First of all, thank you for this amazing experience. We will remember this meal as one of the best culinary episodes in our japanese trip. The food was good but what really made the experience unforgettable is your service, dedication and attention to detail. You've managed to create an environment that breathes excellence. The smiles, the decoration and the music were all pieces in what I can just describe as art. Congratulations on what you've achieved here, the staff the owners and everyone which is involved should be really proud of being a part of this. When people think of japanese mastery and craftsmanship this is exactly what they mean. Keep up the good work and all the success in the present and future. Please give my compliments to everyone."

This was a really calm and friendly soba restaurant. This restaurant exists since 2 Family generations for more then 40 years. The staff also speaks english and is really patient. The Menue is perfectly choosen. The drinks are insane. They also refill your tee often. My friends ate the wagyu soba that fulfilled all expectations. I ate the Parmesan Soba, that was the best soba i ever ate. They care abouth every aspect for the custumer, even the Toilet paper is soft and comfy. The whole location is perfectly clean and hygienic. This is a must visit.
