Posted on : 02/13/2025This was the best meal I've ever had in Japan. The tempura batter was so light and cooked to perfection. They served a few other dishes that weren't tempura and that was a great starter. The fruit at the end was sweet and delicious and refreshing. I was so full but so happy. The most wonderful meal and experience. The interior is simple and beautiful and modern. The chef, host and staff are also incredibly kind and so dedicated. I will return again for sure!Patrick Lee

Posted on : 10/08/2024Enyuan Kobayashi provided one of the most memorable dining experiences we've ever had. The tempura was simply exquisite – each piece was perfectly cooked, with a light and crispy batter that enhanced the delicate flavors of the ingredients. We were particularly impressed by the shrimp heads, which were a revelation in both texture and taste.
Beyond the incredible food, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, creating a welcoming and refined atmosphere. Witnessing the master chef meticulously crafting each piece of tempura at the wok was a true highlight. Their dedication and skill were evident in every bite.
If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable tempura experience in Kyoto, Enyuan Kobayashi is an absolute must-visitHani AlMalki
Posted on : 04/11/2024It’s a beautiful and charming place run by a husband and wife team. He has definitely mastered the art of tempura. The dishes were fantastic as is the setting.Shelby Moe
Posted on : 03/20/2024Amazing experience. The food was the highlight of our whole trip. Amazing dynamic between owners. They are very warm and inviting, yet there is no pressure to carry on conversation. Benefit of an intimate restaurant experience without the burden of keeping up conversations outside your own party.
Great attention to detail. Delicious food.S.W.
Posted on : 03/04/2024Every vegetable had a gentle and authentic flavor, and it was my first time experiencing genuine tempura at this restaurant. The ambiance inside the restaurant was also wonderful, making it highly recommended.
