Located at the corner of Niomon Street and Kawabata Street, this is a Korean soup restaurant with a few tables and a counter. The long, narrow interior allows you to see inside from outside. This time, when I visited after about 2 and a half years, the staff was two girls. I was the first customer at around 5:30 pm and sat at the counter. The menu consists of soup, rice, and three small side dishes, with the option to add wrapped vegetables. I carefully read the menu description and chose the most popular dish among women. The Kimchi Jjigae set with wrapped vegetables included Kimchi, pickled radish with a spicy vinegar sauce, and a hijiki dish with a sesame flavor. The wrapped vegetables came with miso paste and two types of leaves, egoma and shiso. The rice was a soft mixed grain rice. The wrapped vegetables are meant to be eaten with the rice. The miso paste added a nice accent, and the soup made with plenty of mashed soybeans had a rich flavor. It's perfect for warming up in cold weather. Additionally, I also had two Kinpa rice balls. They were not rolled but shaped like onigiri, making them easy to take away and snack on while enjoying the view. The various gentle flavors of the soup were delicious once again. I enjoyed my meal! Thank you!

I went to eat cold noodles that are only available in the summer. The seasoning and toppings were simple, and the taste was just as I had imagined, in a good way. I enjoyed it. It was nice to have small side dishes served as well. Since it's a counter-style restaurant, I was able to chat with the staff and learn more about Korean cuisine. I love the casual atmosphere of this place where you can easily drop by.

I visited on a regular night, so I was able to enter without waiting. The simmering soup had a delicate flavor and felt like it would make me healthier! You can also adjust the taste yourself! The chijimi was also delicious and very satisfying!

I visited because I wanted to eat Sundubu. I was happy with the three appetizers. It seemed like you had to add salt to the Sundubu to your liking, but I didn't know about it? (Was I not paying attention to the explanation?) I ate it as it was, thinking it was a bit bland, but I finished it. It would have been better to add salt. Thank you for the meal.

I had the Sollontan set meal. It was lightly seasoned, and the staff told me to adjust the flavor with salt and pepper to my liking. I followed their advice and enjoyed changing the taste myself. They also recommended putting a few pieces of shrimp salted roe on the meat, which was really delicious. I had been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time, so I'm glad I finally made it. After eating each dish separately, I added rice to make it like a porridge and enjoyed it.

Located on the east side of the Kamo River, at the intersection of Kawabata Street and Niomon Street. I discovered this place after it was featured in the Michelin Guide. This was my second visit on a weekday night. There is a wooden counter and two female staff members. - Beer (medium bottle) 600 yen - Pomegranate vinegar sour 450 yen: A sour drink made with pomegranate and vinegar, very easy to drink. - Water kimchi 350 yen: Kimchi soaked in water, refreshing and spicy. - Real Sangakimpa 250 yen: Kimbap in onigiri form. - Sundubu set meal with wrapped vegetables 1300 yen: Spicy soup with minced tofu, pork, and clams. The broth is delicious. The rice is mixed with grains and served with lettuce and sesame leaves to wrap. Three side dishes include cabbage kimchi, lotus root, and tofu. Simple and homemade dishes with a warm touch. Very delicious.

Hello. It's me. Today, I visited a Korean restaurant in Kyoto called "Start Solrontan Set Meal with Wrapped Vegetables for 1250 yen" because Korean cuisine has become a personal favorite of mine. I heard that there is a delicious Korean set meal restaurant in Kyoto, so I decided to check it out. I prayed as I headed there, as I heard there might be a line. Thanks to the rain and adjusting my timing, I was able to get in with only about three groups of customers ahead of me. The restaurant is run by a woman who seems experienced and skillfully handles everything. There were several options, but I chose the Solrontan set meal. I wasn't sure how to eat the vegetables, but I managed to figure it out as I went along. I adjusted the soup's saltiness with the shrimp salted roe, which added a nice touch. The soup was bubbling hot and had a gentle flavor. The meat was a generous portion. As for the wrapped vegetables, I wasn't used to them, but I put them on top of the rice and enjoyed them with miso. It had a healthy image and seemed more geared towards women, but even men can leave feeling satisfied. It was delicious. I will definitely visit again when I'm in Kyoto. Thank you for the meal.

#Korean Soup Set Meal at Pinyo Restaurant#I intended to take a photo of the whole Pinyo Restaurant, but ended up eating a plate first. The light and simple flavors are addictive. The next day, I found myself craving it again. It was delicious.----------------------------☞My Recommendation Today☜Sundubu Set Meal ¥1150----------------------------#Korean Cuisine #Sundubu #Sanjo Gourmet #Kyoto Gourmet #Kansai Gourmet #Sanjo Lunch #Kyoto #Kansai #Foodie #kyoto #japan

This was my first time visiting. Eight of us, including myself, waited in front of the shop 10 minutes before it opened. It opened at 5:30. I had a hard time choosing from the menu, but ended up ordering the Sundubu set meal and Mandu. The Sundubu had a gentle flavor with pork and clams. The rice was mixed grain. The Mandu had a chewy skin and was delicious. There are many other menu items I want to try, so I would like to visit again.

During the day it's hot, but at night it's a bit chilly, so I felt like eating something warm and decided to visit Pinyo Shokudo. Even though there were only about 2 groups of customers inside, I wasn't allowed to enter... It seemed they were busy with many takeout orders, so they asked me to wait outside. I wished they could have let me wait inside... Finally, I was allowed to enter and placed my order. I debated between Sundubu and Sol-Lontang, but ended up choosing the latter. I wanted to try something I hadn't eaten before. The soup was light and came with 5 slices of meat. It was delicious and really warmed me up. The subtle saltiness allowed me to adjust it to my liking, which was great.

I found a popular Korean restaurant near my favorite Japanese restaurant, called Coco. We had the following dishes: - Myself: Beef bone soup set meal - My wife: Soft tofu stew set meal We visited for a light and healthy lunch. The food was quite satisfying. The restaurant had a typical atmosphere for this type of place. The service was a bit cold. There is a coin parking lot in front of the restaurant. The prices were reasonable. I would definitely visit again. I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. The restaurant is very popular, especially among women, making men feel a bit out of place. I made a mistake with the seasoning for my beef bone soup, but my wife's soft tofu stew was delicious. We arrived right after opening and it quickly filled up, showing its popularity. I will definitely come back for the beef bone soup set meal again, hoping to get the seasoning right next time.

The restaurant featured in Bilgurman was delicious and had a great atmosphere. The menu was extensive with no standard items, everything looked delicious. The cost performance was good, I will definitely go back again!!! I want to try all the menu items. I was able to enter without waiting at all.

The Sol Lung Tang set meal is a combination of Sol Lung Tang soup with three side dishes and mixed grain rice. The soup is light and subtly flavored, with the option to adjust the taste with salt and pepper. The beef shank in the soup is tender and flavorful, perfect for enjoying with the accompanying shrimp salted fish and sesame oil. This restaurant specializes in Korean soup dishes and is known for its popular dishes like Sundubu and Sol Lung Tang. The atmosphere is cozy with a counter seating arrangement in a small house. The Sol Lung Tang set meal costs 1100 yen per person.

I heard that even on regular days there are lines, but when I went around 1 o'clock, I was able to enter without waiting! I ordered the Combination Jjigae, and my friend ordered the Sol-Lontan. The Combination Jjigae had a creamy soup with kimchi in it! The amount of meat was a bit small, in my opinion. It's a place I often see on Instagram and on TV, so I had high expectations, but it wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be. Honestly, I didn't feel the need to go back again, and it wasn't incredibly delicious. Maybe it's just a matter of personal preference! I think I prefer spicy food, so I feel more satisfied with Sundubu when it comes to Korean cuisine!

It is a famous restaurant where you sometimes have to wait in line. I was looking forward to it because I like Sundubu and Solntang. There were three female staff members who didn't smile at all. It didn't bother me too much, but... The food came out relatively quickly. The Sundubu was not spicy at all. The Solntang lacked richness and the seasoning was light, as if you were supposed to season it yourself. It was elegant, but not quite satisfying.

Friday 18:05, finally visited Pinyo Shokudo that I had been curious about for a while. I had visited Hahahas in Teramachi Takatsuji three days ago and my interest was piqued, so I made a visit. I thought it was fully booked, but luckily there was one seat available at the counter. The atmosphere inside the restaurant felt like it was mostly women. The seating was a bit cramped, so I had to be careful. I ordered the Sundubu set meal with vegetables for 1,300 yen. After a while, two more people arrived and we were asked to wait outside. At 18:12, three side dishes arrived first. Both sides also received soup, and as we started eating, it became even more cramped. I couldn't hear well, but both sides seemed to say something like "it's lightly seasoned, so adjust as you eat." They were eating a whitish soup. I wonder if the side dishes are different from mine because they are separated by the soup? At 18:19, rice, vegetables, and Sundubu arrived. It was bubbling hot. I wasn't sure how to use the wrapped vegetables, but I continued eating. It's a common thing in Korean cuisine, but even though it's piping hot, it's not too spicy, so the barrier is not that high. I was happy to be able to eat tofu and vegetables. It's packed with a mellow umami flavor, so it's satisfying. After eating using the wrapped vegetables in my own way, I felt warm all over my body when I finished. (I wish I could come with someone and eat slowly.) This time, I felt a bit tired from being considerate of the people on my left and right, but I'll visit again. Thank you for the meal.

Located at the corner of Nio-mon Street and Kawaramachi Street, down from the Kawabata Nijo intersection in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, this small cozy restaurant blends in with its surroundings, resembling a hut-like structure. The interior exudes warmth and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu mainly focuses on soup set meals, with a selection of only five side dishes. Each soup set comes with rice and a side dish, and you can add a vegetable wrap for an additional 150 yen. The signature dish, Zundubu set meal, features a hot and flavorful stew with finely crumbled tofu, pork, and clams. The spiciness is mild, allowing the rich flavors to shine through, offering a simple yet deeply satisfying taste. The gentle spiciness complements the ingredients well, creating a soft and enjoyable texture with the tender crumbled tofu. The balance of the pork and clam flavors is exquisite, providing a light yet flavorful broth. The side dishes include napa cabbage kimchi, namul, and totorimuk, while the rice is mixed with grains for a satisfying meal. The dishes are prepared without any artificial seasonings, and you can adjust the spiciness with the chili peppers provided on the table. Despite long waiting times even on weekdays, this popular restaurant is loved by a diverse range of customers.

We arrived at the restaurant around 6 pm on Sunday, just as we were starting to get hungry. It's a place where reservations are not accepted, and it quickly filled up after we got in. We ordered the Sol-lontang set meal with three side dishes: spicy simmered shishito peppers, kakuteki, and a sesame tofu-like konjac dish with sesame oil, green onions, and garlic - so delicious! The Sol-lontang had a gentle flavor, though I was expecting something with a bit more punch, it was still very tasty! The mandu dumplings were also great, perfect for a hangover morning. I felt like having a drink! Finished the meal with corn tea and thoroughly enjoyed the rice. Next time, I think I'll try the plain tofu! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Not too spicy, but with a good kick of flavor, the soup is easy to drink and delicious. The side dishes are also tasty and comforting. The restaurant only has counter seats, but it's easy to get to as it's located along the Kamo River. If you're looking to eat Korean food in Kyoto, this is the place to go.

A Korean restaurant in Kyoto that received a Michelin Bib Gourmand. We arrived just 5 minutes before opening on a holiday and were the first ones in. There is a coin parking lot in front of the restaurant for those driving. The restaurant is housed in a renovated traditional Japanese house. The main seating is at the counter, and the aisle is narrow, so be prepared to give way when going to the restroom. I ordered the Sundubu set meal and my companion ordered the Bibimbap set meal. The kimchi appetizer included tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, and shishito peppers. It wasn't very spicy and had a gentle flavor. I particularly liked the kimchi with shishito peppers. The Sundubu had a strong clam flavor and wasn't very spicy. It was easy to eat with its smooth texture. I was surprised by the Bibimbap, as the namul (seasoned vegetables) were served raw like a salad. The crunchy texture was enjoyable. The seasoning had a bit of a unique taste, so it might be a hit or miss for some. I visited because I was craving Korean food, so I was very satisfied. By the time we left, the restaurant was full. I recommend going early. The staff matched the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant and made it a comfortable dining experience. Thank you for the meal.

On Saturday afternoon around 1pm, when I headed to the restaurant, there were already about 4 groups waiting in line. After a 40-minute wait, we were finally able to get in. The restaurant was small and seemed to have a low turnover rate. I ordered the most popular dish, the pure tofu set meal. It came out in a boiling hot iron pot. It was delicious and left my stomach feeling warm after finishing it. It was nice to experience a sensation similar to eating in Korea.
