Location
Guests can find Garden House in the Japan Pavilion within EPCOT’s World Showcase. This is a smaller dining location, but it can be found next to Katsura Grill and across from Mitsukoshi Department Store.
Quick Service or Table Service?
Garden House is a Quick Service dining location. This means that Guests can walk up and order without a reservation. This kiosk sells refreshing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for Guests looking to sip on Japanese favorites.

Atmosphere
Garden House is a quaint dining location, but the surrounding atmosphere will make you feel as though you’ve left EPCOT and arrived in Japan. Peaceful gardens surround this restaurant, and outdoor seating is available next to Katsura Grill.
