About this place
One lunch dish that diners have singled out is the chilled matcha noodles topped with eel, grated yam and water eggplant. It stands out as a summery Kyoto-style combination. One diner recalled that the broth was so flavourful the noodles needed no dipping sauce. On another lunch visit, a diner chose a set with sushi, a tempura assortment and clam udon, noting the memorable clam broth. Depending on your appetite, you can make noodles the focus or add sushi and tempura to the meal.
For a leisurely meal with company, consider a course centred on pork shabu-shabu. One option pairs yuzu-and-grated-daikon pork shabu-shabu with sashimi, assorted fried dishes, anago (conger eel) sushi rolls and noodles to finish. A diner who reviewed a kaiseki meal also noted the calm atmosphere of the private room. With private rooms, a children’s menu and baby chairs listed, the restaurant offers options for different groups and occasions.
Ganko is on the 2 floor of Kyoto Station Building, opposite Kyoto Theatre. The menu ranges from a light lunch of chilled noodles to group meals featuring hot pot and sushi.
