Posted on : 01/13/2025Truly one of the greatest dining experiences we've ever had. From the expertly prepared, carefully considered and stunningly presented dishes, to the overall welcoming environment, every aspect of our visit felt not only warm, but transformational.Valerie P
Posted on : 10/28/2024We spent a wonderful evening in all aspects, the chefs cuisine was creative still very balanced and tasteful, watching the preparation of the dishes is a ballet in it self and the amazing welcome and patience of his assistant (sorry should age asked her name) was very precious. We recommend highlyEthan Meginnes
Posted on : 10/25/20242 for 2 in our omakase experiences so far. The knife skills displayed were worth the expense alone. The best squid any of us have ever had. The textures were remarkable. 3 of us normally get a sulphur taste with uni. This was avoided by the wonderful vinegar jelly. You will not go hungry here, that is for sure.Helena Edward
Posted on : 10/06/2024My husband and I truly enjoyed our dinner at Gion Fukushi. It was absolutely divine dish after dish . The entire omakase dinner was delicious, the service was superb. The chef was very interactive and friendly so were the hostess, she described the entire menu , 10 dishes of which each dish was outlined and handwritten in a piece of paper. We were interested in some of the condiments that paired with the dish. The chef even recommended us the place to buy them and wrote it down for us.
This was the best dinner we had in Japan. The highlight of each dish was the freshness, all the ingredients used came together so harmoniously and taste so good .Just sublime! Highly recommended and we would definitely return and enjoy the food and experience again and again . Arigato Gozaimas!Hanorah and Devin Blum
Posted on : 09/30/2024Our dining experience was nothing short of superb. We enjoyed one of the most elegant and delicious meals we can remember having. Chef Fukushi prepared and served us several courses that we can only described as revelatory. The fatty tuna sashimi and cold somen noodles were two of the most delicious dishes we can remember eating. The fresh fig with tofu cream intermezzo and chrysanthemum greens salad were as novel as they were delicious. The chef and his staff were superbly attentive and even provided a written list in English that described each course and the special ingredients they contained. A special interpreter was also on staff for us (at no small effort) and helped make this one of the most memorable dining experiences we have enjoyed - ever! The elegance and graciousness extended to us was exceptional. Thank you chef Fukushi!Xi
Posted on : 08/09/2024excellent taste will come again in the future. My favourite dish was the eggplant, fatty tuna with rice, soba in ice bowl, figs.Wendy
Posted on : 07/04/2024We had a wonderful experience at this Kaiseki restaurant, enjoying both the high-quality food and the spirit of Kaiseki cuisine. Each dish was exquisitely presented and absolutely delicious. Watching the chef meticulously prepare every dish was both fascinating and like witnessing a work of art. The passion and focus of the chef were truly palpable.
The female server was incredibly kind and patient, answering all our questions and even showing us photos of the ingredients used in our meal. She took great care of our needs throughout the evening.
The restaurant uses top-quality, locally sourced Japanese ingredients, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The entire dining experience felt like a small journey, allowing us to touch and feel the essence of Japanese culture.
We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to experience authentic Kaiseki cuisine.Maria
Posted on : 06/16/2024Chef Fukushi gave us excellent food prepared in front of us. It was a delight to watch his knife skills. I highly recommend his restaurant.Danielle
Posted on : 05/31/2024What an experience we had at Gion Fukushi. We were fortunate to have a private dining experience last night. Chef Fukushi is a highly skilled chef, who was methodical and had very good knife skills. The preparation of the dishes were not only methodical but like a performance. There was a variety of dishes, all balanced and presented beautifully. Also the hospitality was fantastic and we felt very welcomed, even with a slight language barrier. This experience has been a highlight of our trip! Highly recommend!Meghan Reardon
Posted on : 05/09/2024An unforgettable experience. An outstanding mix of thoughtfulness and craftsmanship without pretension. Service was warm, attentive and kind. Our lovely server went out of her way to hand-write menu translations to help us understand each item and course. Each bite was inventive and every moment of our evening was considered. They went out of their way to make the night special and it exceeded expectations!
