神戸牛鉄板焼京彩宴花見小路店 — Restaurant in Kyoto

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Evening at Kyosai-en Hanamikoji!** From the moment we stepped into Kyosai-en Hanamikoji, the elegant blend of traditional Kyoto charm and modern sophistication took our breath away. The sizzle of premium cuts on the teppanyaki grill filled the air, and the attentive staff welcomed us like honored guests.

The A5 Wagyu ribeye was the star of the night—richly marbled, buttery tender, and seared to smoky perfection. Cooked exactly to our requested [medium-rare], each bite was a revelation of flavor. Paired with the truffle-infused mashed potatoes and grilled seasonal vegetables (so fresh they tasted like they’d just been picked), every element harmonized beautifully.

Don’t skip the matcha crème brûlée for dessert—a delicate balance of earthy matcha and creamy sweetness—or the yuzu highball cocktail, which added a bright, citrusy twist to the meal.

A heartfelt thank you to our server, Hiroshi, whose knowledge of the menu and warm, unobtrusive service elevated the experience. Kyosai-en isn’t just a meal; it’s a journey for the senses, rooted in Kyoto’s culinary heritage. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this gem on Hanamikoji Street is a must-visit. We’re already dreaming of our return—10/10, absolutely...

This is by far the best place to eat. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and they clearly enjoy being there. They explain how everything works for their setup and each of the 6 amazing courses also came with descriptions and suggestions on how to eat to get the most out of your meal. Nakamura-San is a wonderful chef and has a wealth of experience and a very refined palate. Chelsea was very friendly and made a great effort to get to know us. The rest of the staff whose names I didn’t get were also so nice and helpful. We left full, happy, and feeling like we made new friends. I understand why they have regular customers- the people and the food make you want to keep coming back.

Everyone spoke English and a couple other languages as well. There is a man there who makes origami and gives you your own to keep with dessert. I will definitely be returning and recommending this amazing place to anyone who...

Nakamura and the rest of the staff were inviting, friendly, and spoke English very well! They were exceptionally accommodating and customized the menu for our two young children. The atmosphere is clean, peaceful, and very personal. The highlight was the DELICIOUS FOOD… the Sirloin and Filette were cooked to perfection and everything was kid approved!! We just arrived in Kyoto from spending 6 days in Tokyo, and here we ate better than we have at any other restaurants during our stay in Japan thus far!! I highly recommend Kyosaien to anybody...
