The nigiri was packed with vinegar rice, and the "gunkan" sushi was something I've never seen before. It looked nothing like the photo. I sat at the counter, but the staff kept talking loudly the whole time. I didn't want to hear their small talk. The background music was Japanese pop. I just wanted to enjoy sushi and sake, so I left quickly. It was good that there was no cover charge or table charge.

This is amazing! The price is very reasonable and the tuna tasting is delicious. It's surprisingly affordable during lunchtime. I visited two days in a row. I chose to have wasabi, but depending on the topping, the amount of wasabi can be overwhelming, so if you don't like wasabi, it might be better to have it without. I will definitely visit again.

I have been to this restaurant so many times this year that I have lost count. If you want to eat sushi cheaply, this is the place to go. Personally, I highly recommend it. You can have sushi for lunch in the 800 yen range, and with chawanmushi included, it's around 1200 yen. The chawanmushi has a small amount of eel in it, so I always get it with my meal. It's best to go early as there is always a line before the restaurant opens.

We had dinner at Hotel Emion during our stay. We ordered a set meal for 2 kids and 1 adult, with some additional items, which cost around 15,000 yen. The miso soup had a lot of clams and was delicious. For dessert, they had Sukajan ice cream in vanilla, matcha, strawberry, and mocha flavors, as well as matcha pudding. However, the ice cream was a bit pricey compared to what you can find in vending machines around the hotel. If you're staying at Emion and don't mind, you can also get ice cream from the vending machine near the public bath.

This is the best value for lunch spot. It's always crowded with many people, and there are often days when you have to wait for an hour. I am always satisfied because I can eat high-quality sushi every time, and I go there quite frequently. It's interesting that the variety of sushi changes slightly each time I go! Personally, I think the days when there is tempura sushi are a bit disappointing haha.

Reasonably priced, delicious, and generous sushi restaurant. The proximity to Nishikyogoku Market ensures fresh and tasty ingredients. Located right next to a bus stop on the first floor of a hotel, it is also near JR Saga Arashiyama Line Ume-Koji Kyoto Nishi Station, making it very convenient.

The restaurant opened at 11 o'clock, but it was already full as soon as it opened. The sushi set meal came with 10 pieces of sushi and miso soup. You could also add chawanmushi. The sushi pieces were large and satisfying to eat. Perhaps because of the nearby fish market, the fish was fresh and very delicious. The prices were reasonable, and it felt like a good deal! I would like to come back again and try other sets! Thank you for the meal!

I was checking out this eel restaurant located in the same hotel. I was interested in the lunch menu "sushi set" which includes 10 pieces of nigiri at this price, which is not easy to find nowadays, even in supermarket sushi. However, contrary to my expectations, the real thing was quite satisfying, with the toppings being quite generous. It's a good deal! Although, I could have done without the chawanmushi. By the way, ordering is done through a touchscreen panel, so even if you arrive early, if you're slow at operating it, your order might end up being delayed. (sweat)

The sushi at this restaurant is like it's been prepared in advance by a sushi robot, with dry and loosely packed rice. The bottom part of the nigiri sushi is noticeably hard, and the seaweed is soggy. The fish toppings are big but thin, except for the tuna which is a bit thick. The miso soup is lukewarm with a bitter taste but lacks flavor. The scallop shell for decoration is just impractical and unhygienic. The large fish bones are dry and not edible, just a nuisance. The chawanmushi (savory egg custard) was tasty at first but became boring as I ate more. Bonus: The tea cup smelled fishy.

Today, we decided to have dinner here. I ordered the Gion set for 3168 yen including tax, and my husband ordered the Arashiyama set for 2728 yen including tax. We ordered using a tablet for drinks, and the first thing that caught my eye was the recommended dish of blowfish sashimi for 1980 yen including tax. Without hesitation, I ordered it. After a short wait, the dishes were brought to us... They looked delicious. But wait, isn't blowfish sashimi supposed to be special? I asked the staff if the order went through, and they said they would check... After a while, they came back and apologized, saying they were out of blowfish sashimi today. If it's not available, you should have told me from the beginning! I had to ask, and it's not acceptable. Well, there won't be a next time.

Located in Hotel Emion in Shichijo, Kyoto, this commercial facility has been known for its variety of dining options. My wife and I decided to have lunch there due to its good reputation for food. We visited the "Honke Sankyu Hotel Emion" for sushi. It was a holiday during lunchtime, but we were able to get in without waiting. The interior of the restaurant was bright and clean. My wife ordered the sushi set for 790 yen (excluding tax), which came with 10 pieces of sushi, while I ordered the Kifune set for 1680 yen (excluding tax), which came with 8 pieces of sushi. It was quite a bargain to get 10 pieces of sushi for 790 yen. The restaurant is located near the Nishiki Market, so I had high expectations for the freshness of the fish. However, in my opinion, while the freshness was not bad, I felt that the quality of the sushi could be improved. The red miso soup was not to my liking.

From May to June, we will be featuring seafood dishes again. The main focus this time will be on seafood bowls - a showdown of 10 dishes, followed by other seafood dishes and then a sushi showdown. The lunch sushi showdown will consist of 10 dishes, with the 9th dish being from Honke Sankyu Hotel Emion Kyoto, located next to Ume-Koji Kyoto Nishi Station. I visited the "Honke Sankyu Hotel Emion Kyoto Store" on the 2nd floor of the hotel when it first opened. I ordered the sushi set meal for 869 yen, which came with red miso soup.

In June, we will be covering seafood topics again. The main focus this time will be on seafood bowls, a top 10 showdown, followed by other seafood dishes and a top 10 showdown of sushi. Located next to Ume-Koji Kyoto Nishi Station is Hotel Emion Kyoto, where you can find "Honke Sankyu Hotel Emion Kyoto Store" on the second floor. This visit marks my return after about 2 years since the opening. I ordered the sashimi set meal for 1078 yen, which I regretted not trying last time.

Today, on Sunday, I visited a festival at Kyoto Umekoji Park for lunch. I arrived at 11:45 and had to wait for an hour in a line of 16 groups before being seated. I ordered a sushi set using a touch panel. It's important to note that this is a sushi set, not a nigiri set, so the sushi is not hand-pressed. It's similar to a conveyor belt sushi chain, where the rice is served by a machine and topped with slices of sushi. The sushi set (869 yen including tax) comes with red miso soup with clams and scallops as a default. The cost performance is amazing. It only took 5 minutes from ordering to serving (so fast!), probably because most people order this menu. In terms of taste, I found it decent for the price. I plan to come back for the sashimi set during a weekday lunch next time. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, after a long time, I decided to have lunch out. It was a rare solo lunch, so I went a bit far to the newly opened Hotel Emion from last year. Initially, I went to the casual restaurant at Endo, but as I looked around, I saw a sushi lunch that seemed to offer good value, so I decided to try it out. I remembered there was one in Biv Ni Jo as well, but I didn't have a strong impression from the last time I tried it, so I was curious to see how it was. I entered the restaurant and ordered the sushi set meal for a reasonable price of 869 yen. The food was served quickly, and it consisted of various sushi pieces with large toppings and small rice portions, which I liked. The miso soup was also a generous serving of clam miso soup, which was different from the usual fish broth miso soup. Overall, the freshness and taste of the sushi were excellent, and the price was surprisingly affordable. I left the restaurant feeling very satisfied and would definitely consider coming back. This review is based on the lunch experience only. Rating: 3.5

Great value for money! It was my first time here so I went for the sushi lunch. The tuna, salmon, squid, clam, and delicious shrimp were all fresh and satisfying. The tamagoyaki and red miso soup were also great. Perhaps because it's near the market, the quality of the ingredients was really good. The portions of the sushi were decently sized. I imagine the selection of fish may change depending on the season, so I plan to visit again later this week. The rice was well-prepared and you can get wasabi on the side. Definitely a place I will come back to often. Next time, I'll try the Hokkai three kinds of seafood platter as well!

The restaurant I wanted to go to was closed... It's hot and I don't want to go too far, so I decided to come here after a long time. This popular restaurant always has a lot of waiting customers during lunchtime on weekends. I've been here a few times before, and each time I wondered why it's so popular. So, I decided to visit again to confirm. It was just before 6 pm on a weekday, with 3 groups of customers already seated (one group had ordered but nothing had arrived yet) and 4 groups waiting. After ordering through the touch panel, we only received our beer and then nothing else came... We waited and waited. Are the other customers not ordering drinks? (It seemed like they ordered set meals) Nothing was on their tables either. On the other hand, we ordered 5 individual dishes. We waited and finally received 2 dishes, and then waited even longer. Other customers' tables remained empty. Drink refills were also slow. The food was taking way too long, so I asked the staff. They said they would check and then left us waiting (without a response). Did they forget what they asked me? The grilled conger eel had tough skin, and the boiled tofu skin was mushy. One dish never arrived, so we left without it. There were 3-4 staff members in the kitchen, but there was no sense of urgency. Are the customers waiting in line during lunchtime just because of the slow service? Each time I visit, the rating goes down... The operation is getting worse and worse... In my opinion, this is a "I won't go back" kind of place now.

Sushi set meal for 869 yen, transportation cost priceless^o^ Great value for money but arrived at 10:30, opened at 11:00, entered at 11:05, left at 11:15. Main branch さんきゅう Hotel Emion Kyoto store 075-585-4139 Kyoto City Shimogyo-ku Shijodori Nokuchi-cho 20-4 Hotel Emion Kyoto 2F.

I had a meal at the hotel but it was not satisfying, so I decided to try this restaurant. The atmosphere inside was lively and they had a tablet for ordering. There were a variety of menu items, although the images on the tablet were a bit unclear. The taste and presentation of the food I ordered were really good, so it felt like a waste. The prices were a bit high since it was inside a hotel, but the sashimi and salmon were delicious. I will definitely come back for lunch. It is conveniently located near the station with parking nearby, making it easy to access. I would recommend it to people coming from afar since it is inside a hotel.
