Hyoki Shabu-shabu Yaesu — Restaurant in Tokyo

Dining at Kyoto Hyoki was nothing short of an extraordinary experience that transported us to another world.

From the moment we stepped inside, we knew we were in for something special. Our attendant, Ishi-san, was exceptional. Attentive, knowledgeable, and so passionate about the shabu-shabu process. He took the time to explain every step of the cooking method, making the experience even more engaging.

The courses my husband and I chose were the perfect amount, offering a delightful balance of flavors and textures. The wagyu beef, tender pork, and fresh crab were truly top-notch, each ingredient more impressive than the last.

The vegetables were thoughtfully selected, pairing wonderfully with the proteins and elevating the entire meal.

The entire experience, from the warm welcome to the final course, was flawless. It’s truly one of the best birthday dinners I’ve ever had. As a beautiful and personal touch, they even took a photo of us, printed it, and gifted it to us at the end of the night.

Thank you, Hyoki, and especially Ishi-san, for the exceptional care and attention you gave us. We will definitely be back for more...

Our waiter, Toki, kindly apologized for the short wait and even brought us a complimentary snack, though we were perfectly happy relaxing in our lovely private tatami room. Both Toki and the other waitress who greeted us provided impeccable service, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The meal itself was fantastic, and we’d absolutely return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a thoughtful, high-quality vegan shabu...

The snow crab was exceptional — delicately sweet with just the right firmness. Every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and ingredient quality. We ended our meal with the matcha pudding and kyobancha tea which is the perfect combination to an exquisite end to a...
