I usually don't go to other yakiniku restaurants besides my regular spot in the local shopping street, but this time I went with my child. Even though it was a weekday, about 80% of the seats were filled, which was surprising! I appreciated that they offered both all-you-can-eat and a la carte options. We chose a la carte and found the prices to be reasonable and the quality of the meat to be decent. I think this is why the restaurant is popular. The service was also impressive, with young staff members providing quick and friendly service with a smile. Thank you for the meal.

I am Dr. Fujisaki, the director of BODYPIT KYOTO. When I used to work in Fushimi, I often visited a yakiniku restaurant with my senior. I recently went back to Otesuji Street and found that the restaurant was still there. They were also serving lunch, so I didn't hesitate to go in out of nostalgia. I had lunch on the first floor for the first time. I ordered the steak set meal, beef tongue, and assorted hormone plate. The yakiniku was delicious as always. Thank you very much.

In Kyoto, I had some work at Toji Temple and also had a meeting, so I decided to have a meal around Momoyama Goryo-mae Station. Despite it being Golden Week and not having a reservation, I managed to slip in and dine at Kyoto Horumon Kura Otemichi Store. It had a typical chain restaurant feel, which was actually quite refreshing since I hadn't been to this style of yakiniku restaurant in a while. I placed my order by scanning a QR code with my phone, which was very convenient. I ordered salted tongue, a platter of three types of black Wagyu beef, and grilled vegetables. The yakiniku sauce had a flavor that was easy to enjoy. The restaurant seemed to offer all-you-can-eat options as all the customers around me were enjoying it. As I get older, I noticed that I tend to get full more easily from fatty meats, which was a funny realization. There is also a related store in Shijo, so I would like to visit again.

I tried a restaurant that I had doubts about, and the results were: - The quality of the meat was average - There were few types of meat available - The saltiness of the meat was too strong - The cost performance of the meat was not good - The highball was not tasty Overall, I won't be revisiting this place. Thank you for the meal.

Today, while walking aimlessly through a major shopping street, I stumbled upon a yakiniku restaurant offering lunch specials. Despite my initial plan to have a light meal, I couldn't resist the allure of meat and ended up inside the restaurant. I decided to order the "W Steak Set" (1,848 yen) which is a double portion of the 120g steak set (1,188 yen). Instead of water, they served me oolong tea which was a nice touch. The tray that was brought to me included a sizzling plate of steak, rice, salad, miso soup, cold tofu, pickles, and sauce. The steak was cooked rare and had a tender texture with a refreshing ponzu sauce that had a hint of yuzu. Underneath the meat, there were sautéed onions and carrots, and the cold tofu and miso soup were also delicious. The rice and miso soup were refillable for free, and the generous portion of rice was of good quality. The salad consisted of shredded cabbage, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers with a tangy dressing that was very refreshing. The steak had no toughness commonly found in lean meat, and with a generous portion of 240g, it was satisfying and delicious. Even the 120g "Steak Set" would be highly satisfying.

An elderly couple visited Toji Temple to see the autumn leaves after having lunch at an arcade shopping street in Fushimi Castle, which used to be the residence of Taiko Hideyoshi. They both ordered a yakiniku lunch for the first time at this place. The background music in the restaurant was current J-POP hits. The meat was tender and the portion sizes were just right, with a deep tea bowl for rice. They felt quite full after eating. Even the elderly lady at the next table ordered the same set meal. Itadakimasu! Now, off to Toji Temple.

The other day, I hesitated but decided to come back today to buy some bentos. They had beef rice bento and harami bento, but the steak bento from the other day seemed to be sold out. There were no staff around, so I went inside... but there was no one there either. Eventually, I found a wooden call button near the register. It was quite unique to see a wooden one. I ordered both the beef rice bento and harami bento. The wait time was about 10 minutes. - Beef Rice Bento: 3.4 On top of the rice, there were pickled daikon, spinach, and what seemed to be warabi (bracken fern). The sweet and savory seasoning on the rice was delicious, and the meat had a slightly crispy texture, giving it a satisfying crunch. The green onions added a nice touch, balancing out the rich flavors. - Harami Bento: 3.2 This one had a strong garlic sauce drizzled over the meat. While the meat itself was good, I felt that it didn't quite match well with the sides like the beef rice bento did. However, considering the price, both bentos were worth it.

On March 27, 2020, around 12:00 p.m., I decided to have lunch outside for a change instead of at work. I stumbled upon "Kyoto Horumon Kura Otemichi Branch" in the major shopping street. Despite being almost full, I was seated at a table for four by myself. I ordered the Special Selected Wagyu Kalbi Yakiniku Donburi Set for 880 yen (excluding tax). The salad was basic with shredded cabbage, topped with tomatoes, broccoli, and onions with a soy-based dressing. The miso soup was average. The Wagyu Kalbi Yakiniku Donburi was served in a large bowl with thinly sliced beef marinated in yakiniku sauce. It was tasty, but didn't quite have the distinct flavor of Wagyu beef. The bowl also included onsen tamago, bean sprout namul, and napa cabbage kimchi. The portion of beef was satisfying, but the overall meal could have been improved with better quality salad and side dishes. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant after hearing some rumors about their lunch menu. I ordered the steak set meal for 980 yen, which comes with 120g of steak. The meat was similar to the Uruguayan beef I've had before, not too tough and easy to eat. The set also included salad, mini tofu, and instant-like soup. I remember having a similar meal at a family restaurant for the same price, but with better side dishes. That's all.

On August 20, 2019, before noon, I visited this restaurant for lunch for the second time. It's called "Kyoto Hormone Kura Otemichi Branch." The lunch menu is displayed on a large panel in the shopping street. Last time, I tried the popular steak set and was satisfied. This time, I chose the following: - Kura's recommendation!! Special selected Wagyu beef Kalbi grilled rice bowl set for 880 yen (excluding tax). After ordering, the food was served in about 6 minutes. - Salad: Shredded cabbage with tomatoes, broccoli, and a little lettuce, all dressed with dressing. - Soup: A soup mainly made of seaweed with a taste of powdered type with sesame oil. - Cold tofu & pickles: As seen in the picture. - Wagyu beef Kalbi grilled rice bowl: Beef belly (Kalbi) meat, onsen egg, bean sprout namul, chopped green onions, and Chinese cabbage kimchi are served. The beef Kalbi has a generous amount and the sweet and savory sauce complements the beef and rice well. The volume of the bowl was quite satisfying. The only downside was that they used plastic and melamine containers, which made the delicious meal feel a bit disappointing. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Around noon on June 28, 2019 (Friday), I passed by this restaurant almost every day since it opened a few years ago, but I had never actually gone in. I had ignored it because there were negative reviews on sites like Tabelog, especially when it first opened. However, on this day, I was undecided on where to have lunch, so I decided to take a chance and go in! The place was almost full when I entered right at 12 o'clock. I was seated at a table for four near the entrance. There were about 7 lunch menu options available. I ordered the most popular item, the Steak Set for 980 yen (excluding tax). While waiting, more customers kept coming in and out, and the turnover was quite quick. After about 6 minutes of waiting, my meal was served. The beef steak was supposed to be 120g according to the menu, but it looked like it was over 150g! The steak was served with grated ponzu sauce. Under the meat, there were vegetables (onions, bamboo shoots) sautéed in sesame oil, and chopped green onions on top of the steak. The meat was not extremely tender but had a rich flavor and a good chewiness. The refreshing ponzu sauce complemented the lean meat well. I was quite satisfied with the meal, even though I had been hesitant about going into the restaurant. The salad was average, the soup had wakame seaweed in it and was refillable, the rice was surprisingly delicious, and the side of mini cold tofu and pickles were also good. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and highly satisfied with my experience at this restaurant. I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Many restaurants are offering takeout these days, and this restaurant was also selling bento boxes at the storefront. The beef rice bento is priced at 500 yen including tax. It seems like they are more focused on preventing customers from leaving rather than making a profit. The sweetened beef is probably cheap to make, but it is quite delicious. The amount of rice is decent too. I was satisfied with the bean sprouts and spinach as well. The man working there was standing all the time and working hard. In my personal bento ranking, this place is in 2nd position after Fushimi Momoyama. P.S. My wife, who ate it for the third time recently, complained that it wasn't tasty.

We went to a night all-you-can-eat with two people. There is no rating for the total experience because everything was disappointing. The taste was the same no matter which part we ordered, and even though there were explanations of the cuts of black wagyu beef on the walls, the flavor was all the same kind of meaty texture. The staff seemed to be few, and the service was slow and bad... It was just too disappointing. It was a place I had thought of visiting because it's nearby, but... maybe because it's all-you-can-eat like in the old days... or maybe not, there was not a single thing that I found delicious.

The table was a bit cramped for four people and there was limited space for grilling meat. When changing the grill, the staff surprised me by asking, "Can you move the meat?" Most places have staff put the meat on the new grill, right? I won't be going back again. Oh, and the meat itself was mediocre!

My senior treated me to a meal, so I consulted with them! (laughs) I got some delicious yakiniku!

Satisfying lunch!

All-you-can-eat is a great deal, and the harami is incredibly delicious!

The meat was tough.

It was very delicious, I want to go again.
