Konamonya Hachi Higashiyama Station — Local services in Kyoto

Friendly staff, flavorful, fresh, affordable & can take alcoholic drinks to go!

Stumbled across this restaurant next to train station. My partner & I wanted a snack before dinner so we ordered the 5 piece Fried Chicken strips and it was crispy, juicy and super packed with flavor plus it comes with a slice of lemon that add the perfect citrus combo flavors (sorry no picture).

The cook was so cool and surprised us with 6 balls! We also ordered two high balls which complimented both dishes.

They have a small dining area behind the kitchen, maybe 10-12 seats. We usually came at weird hours and could always get a seat. They are also open late which was great bc we usually needed a bonus dinner/supper by the time we got back...

The lady chef was very friendly and even gave us a free sample of their famous takoyaki with mentaiko mayo. Planning to stop by again before we leave Kyoto. You should not miss eating here if you’re...
