Ohmiya — Restaurant in Kyoto

這家位於京都的「Ohmiya（近江屋）」，是一間充滿懷舊感的在地食堂，沒有過度裝潢，卻讓人一走進去就放鬆下來。店內是傳統的榻榻米座位，空間不大，但很有溫度。牆上貼著手寫菜單，服務人員態度親切，是一間讓人感覺像在日本老家吃飯的小餐館。

這次我點的是天ぷらうどん（炸蝦烏龍麵）與天丼玉子とじ（炸蝦蓋蛋丼飯）套餐。兩道主食一次滿足，份量很剛好，適合食量正常的大人。

先講烏龍麵：湯頭屬於清淡派，但不是無味的那種，有昆布和柴魚高湯的鮮味，溫順、舒服，不會搶過炸蝦的味道。麵條偏粗，口感Q彈，吸附湯汁的能力也不錯，越吃越順口。炸蝦雖然經過泡湯之後少了酥脆感，但蝦本身仍保有彈性，不會爛爛的，吃得出是新鮮炸好直接上桌的。

再來是那碗炸蝦蓋蛋丼飯。這道很有家的味道，蛋液煮得恰到好處，包覆著炸蝦和洋蔥，醬汁微甜，剛剛好。炸蝦底部吸了些醬汁，外皮稍軟但不油膩，搭配白飯一起吃會忍不住一口接一口。海苔絲和蔥花提升了整體的層次感，不複雜卻很耐吃。

旁邊的小菜是醃漬昆布和紅薑，簡單但清爽，正好平衡口中的油感。還有一小杯熱茶，剛好為這頓飯畫下句點。

整體來說，這餐沒有過多裝飾和浮誇，就是一份真實又實在的日式定食。炸物處理得很乾淨，湯頭順口，飯的調味也拿捏得很精準。價格方面相當合理，以京都觀光區來說算是很划算，雙主食套餐只要1000日圓左右，CP值非常高。

如果你在京都想找一間可以安靜吃飯、不趕時間、又有在地風味的小店，Ohmiya 絕對值得一試。不論是一個人簡單吃，還是和朋友家人來，都會是一頓溫暖的飯。

推薦菜色：炸蝦烏龍麵＋炸蝦蓋蛋丼飯套餐 整體評分：★★★★☆（4.5） 會不會再來：會，下次想試試親子丼和鯖魚定食

Ohmiya is a humble, traditional Japanese eatery tucked away in Kyoto. Nothing flashy about the exterior or interior—it’s the kind of place that locals quietly love. Tatami seating, handwritten menus on the wall, and warm service make you feel immediately at ease. It’s cozy and relaxed, perfect for a quiet meal.

I ordered the Tempura Udon and Egg-covered Tempura Donburi Set, and both were solid choices. The udon soup is light but flavorful, with a clean broth likely made from kombu and bonito. It’s gentle on the palate, and the thick udon noodles had a nice chewy bite. The tempura shrimp, though softened slightly from sitting in the soup, still had a tender texture and good flavor—clearly freshly made.

The donburi was my favorite. The shrimp tempura is simmered gently with egg and onions in a slightly sweet soy-based sauce and served over warm rice. It’s comforting and well-balanced. The egg was soft but not runny, and the rice soaked up just the right amount of sauce. Topped with seaweed strips and scallions, every bite had just enough contrast in texture and taste.

The pickled side dishes (kelp and ginger) were simple but added a nice contrast, and the small cup of hot tea was a great finish to the meal.

Prices are very reasonable, especially for Kyoto. This set cost just around ¥1,000—amazing value for the portion and quality. Everything was clean, flavorful, and prepared with care.

If you’re looking for a no-fuss, local-style meal in Kyoto—something honest and well-made—Ohmiya is worth a stop. It’s not touristy, and that’s exactly what makes it special.

Recommended: Tempura Udon + Tempura Egg Don Set Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) Would return: Yes, definitely. I’d love to try their oyakodon or grilled...

the rudest service ever seen in Japan! All the waitresses are cold faced. We were sitting for 5 minutes to a very simple menu and had to ask the waitress to take our order - there were only 8 tables and 2 ladies serving. Then the beer we ordered never arrived. Had to ask her again (in Japanese) but she looked at me and walked away. I had to raise my voice and this time in English. She came unapologetically. The beer came after the Udon, and the udon came without spoons.

And written on the wall in 3 languages: At least order one dish per person...

I find the flies lingering in the room were more welcoming...

Stay away from this tourist trap! They’re one of the first restaurants you’ll pass after you get off the train. Locals would know better than to eat here. The waitresses really don’t want to be there, and they really don’t want you to be there either. You won’t get any refills on your tea. The quality of the food is mediocre and the portions are small. It’s the first restaurant I’ve ever been to that serves soup noodles without soup spoons. Better wipe your mouth on your sleeve since they don’t...
