About

Koisus centers on Japanese curry served with mixed rice, pickles, and a choice of rice size; reviewers especially praise the aromatic vegan curry and its presentation in wooden bowls. The small Gion dining room has counter seating where guests can watch tempura being prepared, and staff often explain the salts and broth, though the menu is narrow and queues can form.
