鉄板居酒屋GION わ｜Okonomiyaki Teppanyaki Izakaya 京都祇園 — Restaurant in Kyoto

Absolutely the best restaurant experience I have had during my time in Japan. We were looking for a quick bite before heading back to our hotel and came across this lovely establishment.

On top of a fantastic meal we were showered with love by the staff, they were so attentive and kind. They offered us complimentary salad and dessert that were of such high quality, it felt like we should have payed for them.

Will definitely visit again for the great food and friendly owners. Great for all sorts of trAvel parties - families, couples, friends etc. please support this restaurant if you have...

The wagyu steak and butter scallops were the best dishes we’ve...
