Good restaurant, better desserts! - Edit
This is a good lunch and dinner restaurant with classic Japanese cuisine. They have a great omurice and curry. The menu is a bit limited but what they have is full of flavour. The desserts are amazing with loads of strawberry’s and tiramisu.

Overrated - Edit
I was excited about having dinner at this restaurant with all the good reviews. After ordering the full plater I was disappointed and did not find any of the elements very good. The okara and cutlet seemed to be fried poorly and were very oily and soggy.

Disappointing Dinner - Edit
I was looking forward to dinner here after reading multiple great reviews, however the dinner sets my partner and I both ordered were very disappointing. The ‘meats’ seemed to have been fried in cold oil, leaving them soggy and very oily tasting. The side dishes that were pickled were good, but the rest was very bland or just tasted off. Honestly the best thing on the plate was the white rice. I would recommend going elsewhere while in Kyoto.

Delicious - Edit
We had such a great meal here. The set menus with tofu steak, miso cutlets and fried okara were amazing. We came hungry and left so satisfied. I’d have gone back if we’d had more time in Kyoto. Highly recommend the matcha shake too.

Dinner Set - Edit
Mumokuteki is located upstairs and the restaurant is spacious and modern. The staff speak a little English and there is an English menu. We both ordered set dinners. Each of the dinners contained elements that were fantastic, kind of bland, and not so great. I suspect this is purely I “taste” perspective.

Fav restaurant in Kyoto - Edit
Hands down my fav place in Kyoto, the sets are incredible, so much flavour & food in one meal. I loved all the tiny dishes you got with each set. The Omurice was the best food I had in Japan I went two days running cause it was so good.

Could be better - Edit
It’s a convenient location but for a little more effort there are better places. Folks rave about the miso cutlets but they were fair at best. We tried their ice cream and tiramisu but we wish we didn’t.

Viele Kleinigkeiten - Edit
Im zweiten Stock eines Ladens, befindet sich dieses Restaurant. Die Speisen kamen schnell und waren recht lecker, aber ich bevorzuge dann doch ein einziges Hauptgericht.

Nice food - Edit
Tasty food but not a very intimate experience like some other places we have been to in Kyoto seems like a franchise type cafe.

Dinner - Edit
Lovely restaurant, helpful staff.
Read moreThey have an English menu, just ask, or use their website. You can order through the App or table service.
Ordered two meal sets between a family of four. Our kids were hungry so we could have added a bit more but they'd already called last orders.
Closes at 8, last orders by 7.
Pros: Staff attitude, Nice variety, Presentation
Cons: The partmer shop downstairs closes at 6pm

Ist ganz in Ordnung - Edit
Irgendwie haben wir, durch die guten Bewertungen, mehr erwartet. Teilweise etwas geschmacklos.
