Having a meal here was an amazing experience from the first greeting to when we left the restaurant. Service was attentive and detail oriented. We got tatami mats for our cell phones 😝. Then the food is sooooo delicious! I had the Hot Daigo Soba set and my husband had the Blissful Kyoto duck steamed set. Both were soooo good! Don’t skip the buckwheat cake. It was so much yummier than it appears! I want to go back again and again!

Really wonderful experience. The restaurant is beautiful with only 8 seats at a bar and we were lucky enough to be next to the koi pond. Food was excellent-based on noodles but bringing in other influences. Absolutely recommended

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!

Stunning! A perfect meal. Service, decor and the food (I ate Parmesan soba noodles) were exquisite. Surpassed my very high expectations. One of the best meals I enjoyed on my 2.5 weeks in Japan.

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.
