Kyoto Prefecture, Japan Food Guide: 4 Chinese food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Kyoto
Reviews on Chinese food in Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Kyoto is Japan's most traditional city. The lush and verdant cityscape encompasses sprawling rock gardens, vast palaces, and tall temples. The streets are alive with businessmen hurrying past Geiko and Makio in their full kimono, both on their way to work along cherry-tree lined walks. A historic hub that celebrates Japanese culture, from kabuki to textile weaving, Kyoto can also be surprisingly modern. It is one of Japan's largest, busiest, and most visited cities, with packed shopping mega-centers and high-rise offices. Suffused with shrines, outdoor markets, and nature walks, the small but bountiful location is also home to some of Japan's most contemporary architectural marvels, hippest cafes and eateries, and modish local brands and shops. It makes Kyoto a playful and sublime city, studded with as many bars and hole-in-the-wall fried food shops along the Kamogawa river as it is suffused with ancient ryokan and delicate wagashi shops. Kyoto is in the cross-hairs of Japan's most artful past and its energetic present.
Things to do in Kyoto
1. Gion Shirakawa Ramen
Reviewed By wkswong
The place was just 2 minutes from our homestay, and this was very convenient for us with our toddler.We love the ramen, the soup and noodle texture were great. The fry chicken was a surprise, it was juicy, tender and fresh. And the price was quite reasonable. We went again after one day and the owner even prepared children utensils. And there were plenty others who brought children even though they had NO booster seats.The place was clean and provided free lemon ice water. There was also both normal and non-alcoholic beer.The owners/chefs are a pair of brothers who told me thet learnt to make ramen in Hokkaido.

For a party of two looking for a late lunch this place hit the spot! Great variety on the menu for tourist like ourselves but several traditional asian dishes as well. We ordered the 5-flavor variety platter served with 15 gyoza which was perfect for two to be content but not over eat. We order a side of Korean bean sprouts which were delicious. My personal favorite were the curry gyoza, while my husband favored the green onion. We ordered the apple pie and chocolate dumplings for dessert that went great with vanilla ice cream. The ladies taking care of us made them right in front of us with minimal wait time.Not only was the food great, but the staff were courteous and accommodating to us knowing we would need some time to navigate the menu. The draft beer was also a good addition to our visit. Would recommend this spot for any one in the area.

As all reviews say, probably the best gyozas Iâve tried. If you are going with someone whoâs vegetarian beware there are NO veggie options in the menu and they canât make what they have suitable for vegetarians.That said, highly recommend if you eat meat!
