Ueda — Restaurant in Hiroshima

Our dining experience at Ueda was nothing short of exceptional. Being seated at the counter in front of the chef provided an unforgettable view of culinary artistry in action. Witnessing the chef's expertise firsthand was truly mesmerizing, and his warmth and friendliness added an extra layer of charm to the evening.

Despite the language barrier, the chef's efforts with Google Translator to engage in conversation made the meal even more memorable. The genuine effort to connect and share made us feel incredibly welcome.

Moreover, the camaraderie among fellow Japanese diners nearby added an authentic touch to the evening. Their kindness in sharing local tips and insights about Japan elevated our experience to another level.

In all our travels through Japan, this dining adventure stands out as the most delightful...

A great local spot with a genuine atmosphere. There’s no English menu, but they offer set options—just explore the menu and go with the flow. Had a blast chatting and immersing in a place where locals go. It’s not a typical tourist spot, which makes it feel authentic and special. Come here if you’re looking for a real local experience, not the usual...

I had a fabulous dinner tonight at this restaurant. The people were friendly and we communicated using Google Translate with ease. I enjoyed the chats I had with the chef as well. Its was a pleasure to have such kind and friendly people serve me.

All the special dishes were excellent especially the Oyster Tempura.

Would highly recommend...
