What People Say...

日本人シェフが丁寧にお料理を作っていてどれもとても美味しく中々アムスセンターでここまでコスパの良いそして美味しい日本の居酒屋さんは10年ほど住んでますがないと思います。 中央駅からも近くメトロも目の前。立地も良いです。伺った時はコロナ緩和開けてまだ間もない頃ですが、このお店は今後確実に日本が好きなオランダ人や、旅行者で予約の取れにくいお店になると思います。陰ながら応援しています。

てるぷすこ

I have been trying to find an authentic Japanese restaurant for some time now, Kyo was more than I could have wished for. The menu does not overwhelm you like in most western Japanese restaurant. It is composed thoughtfully, allowing you to get authentic tastes of beloved classics and essentials of Japanese culture. The fried dishes were not heavy but rather light, leaving you satisfied instead of stuffed. The amount of high quality sake to choose from is also quite appealing. In Kyo, the staff's behavior was authentic as well as friendly and even lovely. Thus, creating a really great atmosphere in combination with great food and drinks overall.

Andreas

Dit Japanse restaurantje blijkt pas anderhalve maand te bestaan. Mijn vriendin wilde echt Japans (dus geen Sushi) eten en via Google zijn we hier beland. Het is een klein pandje en niet makkelijk vindbaar. Mede omdat het niet op de toeristische route ligt. Het eten was erg lekker. Veel Japanse gerechten gegeten. De dames in de bediening zijn buitengewoon vriendelijk. En de prijs is redelijk. Ik kom hier zeker nog eens terug.

Erik

Best Japanese restaurant I have ever been - taste like Japan. The food is delicious, the service is amazing, waitress are super kind! We had like 10 different small dishes and they were all super tasty. I will definitely come back to try all the menu.
