Restaurant Kyo is easily one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam. This local gem is next to Nieuwmark in the old town of Amsterdam and features authentic dining in Japanese culture. The food is spot on, with hand-curated sashimi and incredible soba noodles. At Restaurant Kyo, you’ll find a traditional Japanese gastro-pub style with a special focus on grilled and sautéed dishes. Here, you can enjoy staples such as karaage, soba noodles, udon, sashimi, edamame, and plenty of other handcrafted Japanese dishes.
