Kikunoi Kyoto Reviews
A unique experience
Just an amazing experience. The greeting and service were wonderful and the food was a trip into the great. I will say that the focus is perhaps on the more traditional side of the kitchen but was just brilliant and came away happy, with new flavours
Incredible Setting, Service, and Food!
The food is amazing and the setting is beautiful. Each guest/group gets a private room and the service is exceptional. If you are looking for a super whimsical Michelin 3 star then this is not for you, but if you want to experience quintessential Jap
Worst meal of my life
I am saddened to write this review. After months of planning my trip to Kyoto the expectations for 3 starred Kikonoi Honten were high to say the least. This was undoubtedly the worst meal I’ve had in my life, even worse than the baloney sandwich th
Sad experience
My partner and I were so excited to come here based on the reviews and the 3-star rating. If you want to dine at a place with very kind service and cute Japanese decore this is it! But if you want to eat great food stay far away. I would say the food
Must try at least once
When in Kyoto, you must have a kaiseki dinner. Google and Tableall listed this as a top kaiseki place with 3 Michelin stars. We booked for their premium dinner. Total was about CAN$1000 prepaid. I have had kaiseki dinners in North America but never J
Must try
I read the reviews, and I was worried about this booking. This place was absolutely wonderful. Fantastic cuisine. Really delicious, they wet so kind and the food was absolutely amazing. We will return. 👏 Arigato to the whole team. ❤️
Subarashi! (Fantastic!)
A culinary tour de force. Three Michelin stars may not be enough. Sophistication and delicacy beyond belief. The Kaiseki dinner is a journey through a sensory and emotional universe. Subsrashi. Arigato.
Wonderful cultural experience but too much eel
Beautiful location in the hills above Gion. This was a cultural experience with tatami mats and a low table, individual dining rooms, spectacular service by kneeling women in kimonos, multiple small courses of artistically arranged food, peaceful vie
Kikunoi Honten disappointed me
Kikunoi honten is very disappointing. One could never imagine that they servic sharkfin soups in Kyoto. No style. Dishes are more than disappointing for the price.
Simple, no fireworks, absolute perfection.
This meal isn't about fireworks, razzle dazzle, or showing off. It's about simple perfection, elegance, and perfect execution. We'll always come here. We had to walk over a mile in the snow back to our hotel because a cab could not pick us up. We d
Don’t go for the FOOD!!!
Most beautiful restaurant a person can go to, the cerimonial service was immaculate, the garden that was right outside our private room was to die for. But the most important element in any restaurant, the FOOD, was tasteless, uninspired, wrapped in
Connect with users posting reservations for Kikunoi Kyoto
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Kikunoi Kyoto. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kikunoi Kyoto at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kikunoi Kyoto page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Kikunoi Kyoto to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kikunoi Kyoto!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
