Kyoto - Charlottesville

The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. The food was delicious and served hot!

When I arrived, the staff member who took my order was incredibly friendly and informed me of the wait time. I ordered the pork cutlet and tempura, and surprisingly, my food was ready in about ten minutes. As soon as I received it, the aroma was fantastic. Once I returned to my hotel and started eating, I was transported back to my travels in Japan. The flavors reminded me of the meals I had in the quaint towns near Osaka and Yokohama, where I used to enjoy dining amidst the everyday sounds of traffic and trains. It was one of those rare moments of peace in my life. I was genuinely surprised to find the restaurant nearly empty when I visited. The ingredients were fresh, the portions generous, and overall, it was an excellent value for the price. This place is truly a hidden gem that deserves more recognition. My meal was delightful and gave a weary traveler a moment of serenity.

A lovely, peaceful spot to enjoy delicious Japanese cuisine.

The food here is excellent; the tofu dishes are among the best I've tasted in three different Chinatowns and throughout Asia.

My family has been away from Charlottesville for some time, but whenever we return to visit, this is our go-to restaurant! The service is excellent, and the food is fantastic!
