Gold Roll — Restaurant in Kyoto

After visiting Kinkaku-ji, we were looking for a nearby place to eat with the kids and were really craving ramen. We found this small spot right by the bus stop where we got off.

I -love- this place! I was the only customer on a cold and rainy day, and ordered hot green tea and egg udon. It was simple and delicious and exactly what I needed. The owners were very lovely people, friendly and kind. I was starving and ate the whole set at once; they applauded when I finished which made all of us laugh. I only know a couple Japanese phrases, and they didn’t speak much English, but they made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I hope they know how happy they made me in return....

Very small place nearby the famous golden Kinkaku-ji. While we found Kinkaku-ji a bit underwhelming, this place definitely provided us with a tasty experience. We tried the curry udon and egg udon and took some swiss rolls with us for an afternoon snack. Highly recommend to visit this place if you're looking for a place to eat...
