Posted on : 02/01/2025Koke was the highlight meal of my 3 week stay in Japan. The food was absolutely delicious and creative with its presentation and flavouring. The meal and dining experience exceeded my expectations. I will admit that I was nervous to eat here, afraid that I would feel out of place and intimidated by such a high class experience, but the staff and welcoming atmosphere of Koke made for a relaxing and enjoyable meal. I will definitely be making another reservation the next time I'm in Kyoto.John

Posted on : 02/19/2025Phenomenal food experience with dishes that burst with flavor and creativity, along with a beautiful location and great service on par with many 2/3 Michelin star places I’ve dined at!Kevin Killips
Posted on : 08/31/2024Dinner at Koke has been a highlight of our experiences in Japan thus far. We ordered the full tasting menu with wine, and we enjoyed an abundance of courses and wine pairings throughout the evening. The service was excellent, the experience was intimate, and we enjoyed every member of the staff we interacted with… which turned out to be everyone! Contrary to a prior review, every staff member we met was able to detail anything needed in English as well. Though, I don’t see why this should be a requirement for a fine dining experience in Japan. We were quickly able to experience precisely why this restaurant was awarded a Star. The Duck was outstanding. And if was up to me, I’d give them a second Star too!
Beyond the food, I want to highlight a particular stressful scenario that Koke was able to assist with. We had a non refundable, pre paid reservation via Omakase. We were riding the Shinkansen from Hiroshima to Kyoto, and we made it as far as Shin-Ōsaka before all East bound train service was delayed and ultimately cancelled due to typhoon 10. It became clear we’d be unable to make our reservation, and we tried reaching out to Omakase for assistance, but we knew their only option for same day cancellation was to charge us 100% of our booking. When we did not hear back, we took a chance by emailing Koke directly explaining our predicament and asking if they’d be willing to seat us on a subsequent evening. They responded quickly with “It’s ok!” and booked us a table the following evening. We are SO appreciative of this gesture, and we became even more so when we arrived and saw there were only 14 total seats! All we can say is, “THANK YOU!”SY
Posted on : 06/09/2024An absolutely amazing and magnificent experience at KOKE. Every single detail was so well thought out and executed. I would most definitely return.Unknown
Posted on : 10/20/2023Amazing dining experience! Every dish was beautiful and delicious! We were blown away by the creativity and intentionality of each dish. The service was sup and the chef was so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be visiting again in the future!
