★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really good food but didn't blow my mind. Its a small family owned establishment that obviously had regulars. You could tell by the constant laughter and shared drinks across tables.
We go an omakase meal that had sashimi, tempera, grilled fish, and tofu. All were delicious but it just fell short of amazing.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gion Nanba is a good option for traditional kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto that won’t make your wallet cry.
The highlights:
- The service is top notch, with our attendants in full kimono while guiding us through the meal with grace and precision. Even the way they cleared away dishes appeared to be elegantly choreographed.
- The price is quite reasonable compared to similar establishments (i.e. Michelin-starred kaiseki restaurants). I believe we paid 10,000 yen (~$110 CAD) for 10 courses including dessert.
- The space was tastefully decorated and intimate. The bottom floor fits about 12 people at the counter and in two separate private Japanese-style rooms. We scored one of the private rooms and were pleased to find that the seating is raised to allow for legroom beneath the table, so we didn’t have to sit cross-legged for three hours!
The lowlights:
- Each dish was beautifully presented and crafted with care. Though the flavours were nice, we just didn’t find the food all that exciting. We did expect a traditional meal going in, but I would have hoped that at least one of the ten courses would have made us go WOW. Plus, three courses featured eel as the star, which was overkill. That said, the meal was certainly enjoyable and tasty.
- The atmosphere was somewhat lacking. I think they want it to retain an elegant, refined charm, but a bit of ambient noise from the service staff, chefs, clientele, or even some recorded music would have helped give the space some life. If you’re looking for a buzzy, lively meal, this may not be the place for you.
Tip: Be sure you have the location pinpointed on Google Maps and know what the front door looks like before heading out. The entrance is very discreet, hidden in a quiet lane with no signage other than a curtain.
Overall, I would recommend Gion Nanba for those looking for a refined, elegant, reasonably priced kaiseki experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My first Kaiseki experience (can't comment on how it fares compared to other kaiseki restaurants in Kyoto). Ordered the 15,000yen set. The best food I ever had. Personally recommend getting the best food you can afford as they would cost at least double elsewhere. The restaurant is located in a small alley, a bit hard to find.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very disappointing!!
We were served a traditional 8 course meal with all the Japanese serving manners and politeness - but it just wasn’t tasty at all!
The tastes just didn’t connect and there was no harmony. During our stay we were served much better meal in other places but occasion and for much better prices.
I do not eat meat or seafood and we did let them know that in advance. But still they served us squids and we returned them. Then they served the same kind of fish (which was not tasty at all) for 3 courses in a row.
The plates were nicely decorated and all the ceremony around the food was nice, but still when at the end there was not even one single dish to write home about - it is for sure not worth the money paid for.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wanted to top off my Kyoto visit with a Kaiseki lunch and opted for the 7-course. The location may be a bit hard to find (google maps is accurate), was lucky enough to run into Mr. Nanba in the alleyway and he guided me in. For the meal itself, excellent variety throughout with good texture, flavour, and presentation. As a warning to some, these flavours are more delicate so it may not be for everyone. It was a good experience sitting at the counter, and overall service was very good.
