Cafe Ren Kamigyo - Kyoto

The place was very conveniently located near the imperial palace in Kyoto. It had a lot of different options on their menu which was very exciting and each dish had their own twist (katsudon with more veggies and some sliced apples which actually was quite a nice mix . Their buns were also quite good and the staff were friendly. While the experience overall was great we also did note it took a little longer for the order to come out and to get the attention of the staff (also probably due to the setup in there . Still recommend it after a nice walk around the palace :

Great food and the staff were so nice. It felt like visiting a mom and pop shop.

I enjoyed my food here. There are many options and the servers are friendly. It’s nice to buy some vegan stuff (soy meat, curry,etc) from here too.

I absolutely adore this restaurant. I tried the Katsu, Dumpling Plate, and Takoyaki, and all three dishes were delicious! The owner is also lovely. I will definitely be returning to this place.

The food is excellent and the owner is very friendly. There is also a wide variety of dishes to choose from.
