Restaurant Shin — Restaurant in Kyoto

Wonderful experience at Restaurant Shin. We made reservations and got in without a wait which was nice. Price is very good considering the portions and quality of the dishes. Every dish was vibrant with colors and very well thought out. Everything was exceptional except the steak which was a bit too lean for my taste, it tasted more like a sirloin or fillet mignon cut. Would have liked to have a premium wagyu or Kobe option add on for that part for more money. Overall very cozy and warm feeling the shop had and smaller seatings allowed the dishes to roll out without much delay in between....

My wife had an excellent meal here during a recent trip to Kyoto. They offer a nine course “English dinner menu” which was outstanding. The food is French in style but still very Japanese. We were a little intimidated at first at the prospect of nine courses but they were perfectly sized and the service was perfectly timed. The wine list is short but adequate. The price was very reasonable given the quality (and quantity) of the food and the quality of the experience. I highly recommend this tiny little restaurant for anyone looking for a wonderful dinner...

My family and I really really enjoyed our meal at Restaurant Shin! We stumbled into it by surprise and were very happy that they could accommodate us. Each dish was delicious! They adapted to our needs, especially for my daughter who was thrilled to get a beautiful fruit dessert when we had the regular one. We couldn't stop talking about how much we enjoyed the meal!

The service was amazing - the hostess was super attentive and made us feel very comfortable...
