Taiho

Restaurant Details

The family-run, Michelin-recognized restaurant is renowned for "Kyoto Chinese" — a marriage between Kyoryori (Kyoto cuisine) and Sichuan-based recipes.

In the kitchen is a father-and-son duo, who combine classic dishes beloved by decade-old regulars with the son’s affinity for fiery Sichuan flavors. This fusion results in a menu that blends tradition with innovation, from the crowd-pleasing mapo tofu to the juicy soupiness of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

Don’t skip the “teridon kinshi,” a Kyoto classic featuring rice topped with succulent pork and ribbons of omelet. For a taste of Sichuan heat, try the “yodaredori,” steamed chicken drizzled in a lip-tingling sauce. Beyond the signature dishes, Taiho offers a tempting selection of dim sum with flavorful dumplings, crispy spring rolls and comforting steamed buns. The extensive menu has options to suit every craving, making Taiho ideal for group gatherings.

The restaurant is outfitted with around-the-clock locals and a constant buzzing energy.
