Kikunoi Kyoto Reviews from The Last Year
Incredible Setting, Service, and Food!
The food is amazing and the setting is beautiful. Each guest/group gets a private room and the service is exceptional. If you are looking for a super whimsical Michelin 3 star then this is not for you, but if you want to experience quintessential Japanese hospitality with beautiful and culturally rich food then I think this will exceed expectations.
Sad experience
My partner and I were so excited to come here based on the reviews and the 3-star rating. If you want to dine at a place with very kind service and cute Japanese decore this is it! But if you want to eat great food stay far away. I would say the food at its best is bland. After bland, some of the food is inedible. It was so sad after all the anticipation. We had to laugh it off and pretend we were too jet lagged to finish each dish. I wish I could say differently, but save yourself the time and money.
Must try at least once
When in Kyoto, you must have a kaiseki dinner. Google and Tableall listed this as a top kaiseki place with 3 Michelin stars. We booked for their premium dinner. Total was about CAN$1000 prepaid. I have had kaiseki dinners in North America but never Japan. My ratings: Service 10/10 (very attentive, large private room, waterfall garden in the backyard, personal server); Food 9/10 (the idea is to let the fresh ingredients speak for themselves, minimal salt, super fresh, abalone, uni, muscat grapes, are some highlights); Ambiance 10/10 (dine like royalty); more in my photos
Must try
I read the reviews, and I was worried about this booking. This place was absolutely wonderful. Fantastic cuisine. Really delicious, they wet so kind and the food was absolutely amazing. We will return. 👏 Arigato to the whole team. ❤️
Subarashi! (Fantastic!)
A culinary tour de force. Three Michelin stars may not be enough. Sophistication and delicacy beyond belief. The Kaiseki dinner is a journey through a sensory and emotional universe. Subsrashi. Arigato.
Wonderful cultural experience but too much eel
Beautiful location in the hills above Gion. This was a cultural experience with tatami mats and a low table, individual dining rooms, spectacular service by kneeling women in kimonos, multiple small courses of artistically arranged food, peaceful view of trees and garden, quiet and private. You choose which level of ingredients to pay for and that sets your menu...I think ours was a middle price range, over 500 USD for 2 people. So while it was a once in a lifetime experience, I hate to say it, but for the price, I was a bit disappointed in the food. We were very excited for a different culinary experience, but we are not tremendously fond of eel. One dish had a bit of eel sashimi and that was fine, but another dish was completely eel sashimi, and the big rice dish near the end was eel with rice. I was, as I said, a little disappointed. Otherwise, the experience was wonderful.
