UDON Arashiyama-tei — Restaurant in Kyoto

We came in as a family of eight after a wonderful visit to the monkey park, all craving a comforting bowl of udon—and this place did not disappoint! The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and accommodating, and luckily there wasn’t a long wait despite our large group.

Ordering was done via tablet, making it easy and convenient. The place was clean, functional, and service was straightforward. Nothing extraordinary, but overall good value for money and worth a stop if you’re...
