四川料理 味苑 竹田店 — Restaurant in Kyoto

We came here with 11 friends who used to work in China, looking for authentic Chinese food. It's a 5-minute walk from Kintetsu Takeda Station. The restaurant has a well-established appearance. In Kyoto, where light flavors are the norm, she wanted to compete with Sichuan cuisine, which is the opposite of light flavors, and has male flavor, the strong  numbing and spiciness. With that in mind, she, who is from Chongqing, opened the restaurant, overcoming opposition from those around her. 24 years later, this restaurant has become firmly rooted in the local community. More than 10 dishes were served on the round table, and we enjoyed the authentic Sichuan flavor. Among them, the Kung Pao Chicken was particularly delicious. Kung Pao Chicken has a mala flavor with a strong Sichuan pepper flavor that you won't find in local Chinese restaurants. It has a slight sweetness and then a spiciness that numbs the taste. The chicken and cashew nuts in the ingredients are slightly sweet, which softens the spiciness. I'm happy to be able to eat this kind of authentic Chinese...

Found this place during our stay in Kyoto while looking for some Chinese food. Food is absolutely delicious and everything I tried tastes very authentic!

We ended up eating here for our last three evenings before we had to leave so I would very obviously recommend for...

Popped in here for dinner as the place was near our hotel. The place was lovely and had plenty of room for us. We both had chicken, one with sesame and one with cumin and it was delicious. Really authentic gyoza too.

The young lady looking after us was a delight to talk to and spoke English which was a welcome help! Highly...
