Tonkatsu Ganko

Reviewed By JanHana - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm glad we waited (about 15 minutes) to eat at Tonkatsu Ganko in the shopping area near the Kintetsu Nara station. We were attracted to the realistic window display. We were seated in the back near the garden with flowering cherry blossoms. It felt as if we were in a nice restaurant and not a chain. The service was excellent---quick! The food was exactly what we were craving for. We ordered the combination with pork tonkatsu, shrimp tempura and 2 fried oysters. My husband ordered a small saucer of curry on the side for an additional 180 yen. You can substitute pork miso soup (tonjiru) instead of the regular miso soup. It is heartier with potatoes, pork, carrots and other vegetables in it and a nice change from the regular miso soup you get in most restaurants. Everything was freshly made and hot---- the tonkatsu was juicy with a crispy panko coating and the shrimp and oysters were perfect! The shredded cabbage salad was refreshing with nice dressing selections.
We gave a thumbs up to the chefs and cooks that you could see through a glass as we were leaving and told the hostess how much we enjoyed the meal and experience. The hostess was very appreciative and friendly and to our great surprise, when she found out that we were from Hawaii, we were thrilled that we knew her uncle!! Small world!

The eel / unagi in this restaurant was delicious. It was the most expensive eel I ate in Japan though (2800 yen for 5 pieces of eel).

その佇まいから、伝統をを感じる大和郡山の和菓子屋さんです。高級和菓子がメインだと思います。今回は、初訪問と言うこともあり、看板商品である、御城之口餅、を購入しました。粒餡入りのきなこ餅なのですが、癖が無くて食べやすく、それでいて、味わい深い甘さがあり、おいしかったです。

Parco

Reviewed By Cal_Travel_Lover - San Francisco, California

Modest restaurant with good service near our Nara Hotel. This was our last night of 3 weeks in Japan and we were ready for ordinary Japanese food so this was perfect. Price is reasonable, with good service. I got the pork and my husband got the mixed seafood, along with a tomato salad. Just right. The hours on tripadvisor are wrong - they close at 8:30 and sometimes 8:00 so go early to dinner. I tried to update the hours on tripadvisor but it didn't work ( we learned the hard way, having gone there at 8:20 the previous night thinking that they were open until 9pm and they were well closed). Worth a visit.

Nino

Reviewed By Anita L

We were really keen to try Nino because of the great reviews and it did not disappoint! The service was spectacular here. Nino and his team takes good care of you making sure that you’ll walk out satisfied.
The margarita pizza was good. The base was nice and thin with a crispy crust. The pasta felt like a homemade pasta (we tried carbonara and seafood with creamy tomato).
We received a nice gift as well. We got our names written in Japanese and also free dessert and lucky coin. Simply I was blown away by the service and walked out with a massive smile on my face.

Restaurant was a little out of the way from Nara Park but it was all worth the walk. Be sure to order the bluefin tuna as it is really delicious and worth it. One of the more memorable meals we had this trip to Japan.

近鉄郡山駅前の揚げ物屋さんです。若い人が軽食とするために少量買っているのと主婦と思われる方が、自宅用に大量に買っているのとで、繁盛している感じでした。今回は、コロッケ、と、イカフライを購入。どちらもシンプルで、揚げものらしいなと感じました。ホカホカでおいしかったです。

Wa Yamamura

Reviewed By yoidan - Singapore, Singapore

We're there for lunch on a Saturday. We made the Reservations via Gurunavi Restaurant Guide. So happy that we're given counter seats. From here we could see all the actions that went into preparing each dish. We're surprised by the hand written menu in English listing every ingredient that go into each dish. At the end of lunch we're more surprised when Chef Yamamura took the menu away....he then took out his brushes and wrote words of blessings in Japanese and handed it back to us with a bow. Wow! He is truly an artist! Every dish that was served to us was too pretty to eat! Each dish is unique in its taste and we enjoyed every morsel that was served. We're so full after eating the rice wrapped in yuba; yet when Chef Yamamura offered us his signature dish of white rice topped with young sardines, we couldn't refuse! That shows how good his food is. For sure we will come again should we be in Nara! The service is exceptional too, very friendly. The wait staff took time to tell us about each dish she was serving by pointing to the food and then to the menu. Thank you once again for an great dining experience, Wa Yamamura!
