I visited the restaurant in September 2017 for lunch, for a banquet. I had the "Waragi Bento" which included appetizers, salad, matsutake mushroom steamed in a pot, tempura, mixed rice, dessert, and coffee or tea. The atmosphere was decent with the option of private rooms on the second floor. Overall, the taste was quite average, although the matsutake mushroom steamed in a pot was delicious. It might be a good choice for those who enjoy alcohol or beer, but I felt that the banquet dishes could use a bit more creativity.

I went for lunch and every restaurant was crowded, with full seats, but the turnover was fast. I had cold noodles for lunch as I try to consume warm food. It was delicious after a long time. The tea was also cold, it was barley tea. I also went easy on the wasabi.

I visited the restaurant about an hour before closing, so please excuse that. I had a high level of satisfaction at Takasegawa Nijo, so I decided to visit. I had to wait a bit at the entrance, and the voices of the servers were a bit distracting. The tuna sushi was delicious! The eggplant was large and satisfying to eat. I was hoping to try the conger eel easily at this time, but for some reason, it seemed a bit off. Overall, I felt a bit disappointed after coming all the way to Kyoto. I will try visiting at a different time next time.

The sushi was delicious, and the octopus tempura was also tasty. I thought the Calpis soda was a bit weak, but that's still okay. As someone who works in the food industry, I couldn't help but wonder if they even cared about customer service. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll go back next time.

Kyoto Station direct access Ganko Kyoto Station Building ♡ Kyoto ❤︎ Kyoto Station ♡ my pick! Kaiseki ♡ Recommended restaurant after watching the Takarazuka Revue at Kyoto Theater because it is directly connected to Kyoto Station for sightseeing, shopping, and Kyoto Theater. The menu is based on sushi and Japanese cuisine, where you can enjoy a leisurely meal with family or friends. The room we were in had only foreign customers, making me feel like a tourist myself. Upon leaving the restaurant, you can see the always beautiful flowers in the lobby and the illuminated Kyoto Tower, allowing you to fully enjoy Kyoto. Restaurant Name: Ganko Kyoto Station Building Reservations: Available Access: 3 minutes walk from JR Kyoto Station, on the 2nd floor of Kyoto Station Building East Zone, next to Kyoto Theater. 105m from Kyoto Station ◷: 11:00-23:00 (L.O. 22:00) ㊡: None ♡ #Ganko

I visited the restaurant with a male friend and we were able to eat in a private room thanks to our reservation. However, the walls were thin so we could hear everything from the next room. The food was all amazing and delicious! We also ordered sushi separately, which was also excellent! The restroom is separated for men and women.

I decided to have lunch alone and visited the restaurant. It was not crowded on weekdays, so I was able to get a seat easily. The menu had a lot of options, which made it difficult for me to choose, but I finally decided on the fried oyster set meal, which turned out to be the right choice. I recommend eating the fried oysters with tartar sauce. The set meal was priced at 1000 yen and was satisfying for a woman's appetite. I also couldn't resist ordering the Gâteau au Chocolat that I really wanted to eat. I slightly regretted ordering it because I was already quite full. Overall, I was very satisfied with the meal, but to be honest, I would prefer if others didn't go there so that I can easily find a seat when I visit again.

It had been so long since I last visited this place that I couldn't even remember. The location is incredibly convenient, the interior is beautiful, and the prices are reasonable, making it the perfect place to bring guests from other areas. This time, I made a reservation through Tabelog for a Friday night visit with a friend, which turned out to be a great decision. However, I later noticed on the Tabelog page that there was a 10% service charge for reservations. Despite this, making a reservation was definitely the right choice as we would have had to wait quite a while without one. The only downside was that we were seated next to a large, noisy group having a party, which made it difficult to hear my friend throughout the meal. The food and drinks were delicious, with the sesame tofu chawanmushi being a personal favorite. The total bill for three people was under 10,000 yen, which I thought was very reasonable. One thing that bothered me was the service. I understand that they were busy, but I wish they had been more attentive to the customers right in front of them. Even when I tried to ask a question, I was completely ignored. This kind of service could make it difficult to bring guests in the future, despite the overall positive experience.

The restaurant has two floors, it is quite spacious, located near Kyoto Station, and convenient to access. The menu consists of courses with a variety of options and is reasonably priced. The food, such as steamed sushi and tofu, was delicious. The head chef is from Miyazaki. Excellent!

I had warm soba with yuba (tofu skin) and Kyoto-style dashi broth, which was delicious and comforting. The yuba had a strong flavor and I finished it all in no time. There was also a children's menu available, which was convenient. My companion had curry udon, which was also tasty with a Kyoto-style broth.

The restaurant is so large that you might get lost. The course shabu-shabu was delicious! We had a private room with black walls, and the staff explained that they used charcoal in the wall material. The furnishings were elegant, and we had a great dining experience.

The restaurant was chosen for a farewell dinner with a friend before they returned to Osaka, as the main branch of this restaurant is located there. We arrived early on the weekend and found the restaurant to be not too crowded, with a spacious and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were all very kind and attentive. We ordered our food through a tablet, but could ask for help if needed. We both chose a combination of tempura, sashimi, and chawanmushi, which allowed us to enjoy a variety of dishes. The menu had a wide selection of Japanese dishes, ensuring a satisfying meal. Thanks to my friend's treat, I left the restaurant feeling grateful and satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

I went to Kyoto Wakuden for dinner without a reservation at Kyoto Station, but unfortunately, it was fully booked. It was Saturday night, so popular restaurants tend to be crowded. I walked down to the entrance and found another entrance near the Kyoto Theater, which was convenient. The interior was nicely decorated, and even though we were a party of two, we were seated in a private room. We ordered the hot pot, which was slightly discounted, and it was delicious. We also tried the sashimi, which was also tasty. They had a sake from a brewery called Ganko, so we ordered it without asking about the price. We ended the meal with a rice porridge, and we left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

He sometimes goes to a place called "Ganko Sushi" in Kansai where he lives. I had never seen Ganko before because I am from Chubu, so when I found it at Kyoto Station, I was very excited! Even though I was already full, I begged to go there (*^^*) The restaurant is quite spacious, and we were seated at the back. We ordered a sushi set and a tempura set (*^^*) The tempura had two large shrimp and delicious conger eel! The pumpkin and paprika were also tasty (*^^*) We ordered a bottle of white wine, but I think my boyfriend drank most of it (lol) The sushi was just normal sushi! There are many options at Kyoto Station, but I would like to try a different menu next time!

Having lunch at Kyoto Station at a place I've been to before. I used my Berkeley card, so I decided to come back here. It's been over a year since my last visit. I remember that the sushi set with udon was around 880 yen, but now it's 1180 yen (excluding tax) - a significant price increase. I opted for a different set menu this time, the Negitoro tempura set for 980 yen. You can add anago (conger eel) for 1380 yen, but I didn't choose that today. I thought I ordered hot udon, but ended up with cold soba noodles. Well, I like soba noodles, so it's fine. The taste and atmosphere are good, but the prices are a bit high. It might be tough for regular visits.

This GanKo restaurant is located inside a hotel adjacent to Kyoto Station. Or maybe it's part of the station building. Well, it's probably tourist area pricing. There are plenty of shops I want to visit, and I have some time, so I decided to fill my stomach here for now. The taste is neither good nor bad, typical of GanKo. The restaurant's interior is very luxurious. The service is also good. If you're unsure where to eat and this place is not too crowded, you can't go wrong here. I think it's much more satisfying than a mediocre touristy izakaya with inflated prices.

Today's drinking party was held at Ganko Kyoto Station Building. It was a course meal with all-you-can-drink option. Each dish was delicious and satisfying. I wanted to eat more sushi, especially the Otoro! I could eat as many as I want. I would like to have another drinking party at Ganko next time. Thank you for the meal!

Lunch at Kyoto Station. Conveniently located next to the station is Ganko, originally a sushi restaurant called Ganko Sushi. This place serves traditional Japanese cuisine in a beautifully designed setting. The lunch set includes sashimi, mixed rice, tempura, and small appetizers. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I wasn't very hungry, so I just ordered a single item. The price was reasonable, the food was delicious, and I left satisfied. It's very convenient being directly connected to the station, making it a great choice when using the train. Even at 5:30 pm on a weekday, it was quite busy with a lot of people. I was able to get in without a reservation, but it's better to make one to be sure.

"Yeah, the taste at this price is really satisfying, right?" That's what one of the acquaintances I dined with said about the dishes at the famous Japanese cuisine chain 'Ganko'. On this particular evening, we visited the branch located in Kyoto Station building with two acquaintances. I have dined at 'Ganko' a few times in Osaka, but this was my first time at the Kyoto Station branch. Personally, I think the quality of ingredients is good compared to other Japanese chain restaurants, the variety of dishes is rich, and the portions are generous, all at a relatively affordable price which is a unique feature of this place. This time, we each ordered our favorite set meal and a side dish. - Omi beef tendon dashi-wrapped eel roll: I have seen eel rolls wrapped in rice, but this was the first time I tried one with beef tendon. Both the dashi roll and the beef tendon were delicious. - Bluefin tuna fatty sushi set meal: One of my acquaintances ordered this set meal. It includes bluefin tuna fatty sushi, negitoro maki, large conger eel tempura, and saru soba noodles. The tempura set meal is common in other restaurants, but considering the taste and portion of the fatty sushi and conger eel tempura, it's quite a good deal. - Crab steamed sushi and Waragi bento (with raw yuba shabu): The other acquaintance and I ordered this set. It includes an appetizer box (similar to an assortment of small dishes), sashimi, side dishes, tempura, raw yuba shabu, crab steamed sushi, and red miso soup. Each dish was carefully prepared with an elegant taste. In Kyoto, there are countless restaurants that serve delicious Japanese cuisine, but most of them are not easily accessible to commoners like me. However, everyone wishes to enjoy delicious food as much as possible. In that sense, 'Ganko' might just be the perfect Japanese restaurant for me.

Steamed sushi at Yawaragi Bento for ¥1,980. Kyoto Station on New Year's Eve was crowded with returning home visitors and tourists... and the restaurants at Isetan were all lined up. So, I headed to Kyoto Theater and surprisingly found it not crowded at all. I could enter "Ganko" without waiting. The steamed sushi was not hot at all... a bit strange, but other dishes were okay. When in Kansai and unsure where to eat, I recommend "Ganko". I think the cost-performance ratio is high.
