The food, the vibes and the family were all super dope. The food alone makes this place a must stop. Best sushi I’ve ever had.
Oh you best believe I’m coming here again. 10/5.

Today I enjoyed a late lunch at Sushizen (10/10) in Kyoto, found it mentioned on the Michelin guide as a Bib Gourmand restaurant. I must say, it was a remarkable dining experience. I tried to go yesterday but it was full so decided to go early to make sure we get a seat so I was there around 17:30. It is a small family business type of restaurant and the moment I stepped in I felt the hospitality. The menu is unfortunately in Japanese but Google Translate did the trick. The restaurant is run by only two people. The restaurant offered me a lovely hot matcha tea as a welcome drink it was super delicious.
As I took my seat at the bar, I enjoyed watching the fascinating Chef’s preparing my dishes.
I was so hungry so I ordered two dishes. The Chirashi-zushi (10/10) priced at 1700 Yen and the assorted Sushi platter, also priced at 1700 Yen. The chirashi-zushi was a work of art, beautifully arranged with fresh seafood on a bed of seasoned sushi rice that has a kind of sauce all covered with a shredded omelette. Each bite was a symphony of flavors. It was the first time I ever try such a dish and highly highly recommend it.
The assorted Sushi platter was equally impressive (10/10).
A trip of culinary happiness is the least I can say about Sushizen. I highly recommend Sushizen to anyone looking for an amazing sushi eating experience in Kyoto. The Chirashi-zushi is more than enough for one person, no need to order anything else next to it, but if you do you won’t regret.

Came here as it was recommended as some of the best affordable sushi in Kyoto, and it did not disappoint!
We had the eel chirashi and a mixed sushi plate, both were very good. Sitting at the counter you can also watch the food being made while you wait.
Would definitely recommend for good sushi at a lower price.
