The Chapchae set meal was delicious.

Simple yet stylish, this Korean home-cooked meal is filled with Omoni's thoughtfulness. Delicious!

* On the night of August 15, 2010, I visited the restaurant "Bibimbap Haus" in front of the Kinkaku-ji Temple for the third time. This time, I tried the stone pot bibimbap for 830 yen, oxtail soup for 1000 yen, yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) for 1000 yen, Kyoto eggplant jeon for 600 yen, and kakuteki (pickled daikon with kimchi) for 200 yen. The stone pot bibimbap had a delicious crispy rice crust. The oxtail soup was rich and hearty. The yukhoe was tasty, and the Kyoto eggplant jeon was a unique dish that can only be enjoyed in Kyoto. The kakuteki was like a kimchi-marinated daikon, a great side dish. No matter how many times you visit, you can enjoy a variety of dishes. Highly recommended. * On the night of August 11, 2010, I revisited "Bibimbap Haus" in Kyoto after staying at a weekly apartment. It had been a year since my last visit, but the owner remembered me, which made me very happy. This time, I tried the tofu steak for 450 yen, cold noodles with watermelon in the summer for 950 yen, and kimchi jeon for 600 yen. These dishes were perfect for the summer season. There was also a group of foreigners ordering the cold noodles, creating an international atmosphere unique to Kyoto. The food was delicious, and I would definitely come back again. Highly recommended. * In August 2009, I lived in a weekly apartment in Kyoto for three weeks, and this restaurant, "Bibimbap Haus", was located next to it. The owner, who has been in Japan for 30 years, was very friendly. I ordered the "Kyoto eggplant jeon" and "kimchi", which were both incredibly delicious. There are many other dishes to choose from, so it's recommended to go with a group to try a variety of Korean dishes. It would be great to have a conversation with the owner and exchange cultural experiences.

We went to this restaurant for dinner on a holiday night, but it was empty with only a chatty older lady there. The tables were spacious and comfortable, with tissues provided for convenience. The interior had Korean-style paintings which felt a bit eerie. The menu was in Korean, making it hard to understand. I ordered Bibimbap, which was prepared with bare hands and made me a bit worried. The food was decent, like home-cooked meals but not something you could easily make at home. Adding the spicy condiment (probably Gochujang) enhanced the flavor. However, during our meal, a staff member started talking loudly on their phone in Korean, which was a bit off-putting. The restaurant is located near a Korean neighborhood, giving it a real feel. Personally, I didn't like the atmosphere much, but it might be recommended for those who enjoy Korean culture.

I was having trouble deciding where to eat with my friend, but we ended up deciding to go to Bibimbap House this time! I love bibimbap, so I was excited to try it there, and it was so much more delicious compared to other places I've tried before! The crispy rice at the bottom was delicious, and the flavors of the ingredients really stood out, it was so tasty. They also had yukhoe (Korean beef tartare), which I couldn't resist ordering. I love yukhoe, and being able to eat lots of my favorite dishes and be completely satisfied was amazing! I definitely want to go back again!
