I visited San Marco in Isetan department store (^ . ^) Actually, I embarrassingly didn't know that San Marco was located in the basement of Isetan (；ﾟДﾟ) After seeing Myレビ's review, I felt like trying some European-style curry, so I decided to visit (’-’*)♪ I was drawn to it because I used to love the beef curry from the dining car when I was a child (a long time ago (lol)) and heard that they had something similar here (^ー^) I ordered the beef curry, of course (851 yen including tax). It was served quickly after orderingヾ(´∀`ヾ) The European-style curry, with a gentle spiciness that comes later, was just like the beef curry from the dining car☆ It had a rich flavor and was very delicious (^q^) The pickles and cabbage on the side are not really necessary for me, I prefer having Fukujinzuke with curry (T-T) However, it might be a good option for a quick and cost-effective curry meal. The restaurant was popular and there was a constant flow of customers coming and going (^ . ^)

JR Isetan's curry shop, San Marco, located on the basement floor, is a popular spot with a constant stream of customers. One of the reasons for its popularity is the option to top freshly fried items on the curry. Another popular menu item, especially among women, is the "Omu Curry," which is a dry curry topped with a rolled omelette. Both options are delicious and highly recommended at this curry shop!

It was a casual curry restaurant in the department store basement. It seemed popular among locals, with customers coming in one after another! The curry came with pickles and even raisins, which made me very happy as I love raisins. They also had cucumber pickles, which might be unique to Kansai region. ^_^

Located on the 2nd basement floor of Isetan in Kyoto Station, this curry shop is a great spot for a quick meal. I decided to order the cheapest item on the menu, the Nasubi Curry for 779 yen. The eggplant is fried before serving, so it took a bit of time. The curry turned out to be different from what I expected, with fried eggplant that was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I also enjoyed the cabbage pickles that came with it. The curry sauce had a unique flavor with a minced meat base, which I found to be quite good. On the 30th of each month, they offer the Nasubi Curry for only 550 yen as part of their San Marco Day promotion.

I ordered the beef curry. At San Marco, they serve beef curry, but the meat chunks are tender yet taste like imported meat. It tastes delicious when you add the pineapple and pickles from the condiments on the table. I enjoyed adding as much as I liked to make it tasty.

This is a curry specialty store located in the basement of JR Kyoto Station Building Isetan. You can take out, but you can also eat in. There are only counter seats, but the turnover is fast and casual. It's a shame that there is no space to put your belongings. I thought San Marco was a nationwide chain because I often use it, but it's different. It's mainly in Kansai, and it's also a KYK Group that I often use when I go to Kansai. That's why the fried foods like katsu curry are quite tasty. I understand now. The menu is surprisingly diverse. There are also various toppings. And the base curry varies depending on the menu. There are also seasonal limited-time menus, so you won't get tired of eating here. This time, I had curry-flavored omurice. It costs 861 yen including tax. You can change the taste by topping with peanuts and others on the table. I particularly like this pineapple, so I always try not to take too much. I feel like I might eat too much and feel sorry for the next person... (laughs) It's convenient when you want to have a quick curry alone near the station. The neighboring 551 shop is crowded with take-out and eat-in, but this place is a hidden gem. I will use it again when I go to Kansai. Thank you for the meal.

San Marco is known for curry, but I decided to try their omurice. The restaurant was too crowded, so we ate in the basement with the kids. The kids had oyakodon. The omurice came with a choice of demiglace or curry sauce. The demiglace was delicious, but I felt it was just okay. I should have gone with the curry sauce instead. Nevertheless, it was tasty!

This is a delicious curry with a subtle spiciness that comes through later. On the 30th of every month, the eggplant curry is a great deal. I chose to top mine with pork cutlet. The eggplant curry has a perfect blend of eggplant and ground meat, creating a delicious curry sauce. The condiments include peanuts, raisins, chopped pickles, and pineapple, with pineapple being the standout choice. It pairs well with the pork cutlet. The pickled cabbage side dish also provides a refreshing contrast in the mouth.

I have used San Marco often and have no issues with the taste. However, I overheard a staff member explaining to employees about how each employee should generate at least 4000 yen in sales. I think it's best not to discuss such matters in front of customers.

I visited here at Kyoto Isetan B2F. The store plays Western music as BGM throughout Isetan. I ordered the "Beef Curry" and it was served in about 1 minute. The rice was a bit sticky, which was a little disappointing. The beef pieces were quite small.

I had an early lunch at San Marco. I had been working hard since early morning, so I went early. The smell of curry at San Marco is like sneaky advertising, it always makes me want to go. I ordered the vegetable curry with toppings of tomato and shrimp fry. The green pickles, cabbage pickles, are delicious. I really like them. Sometimes I want to take them home, but it's hard because of the liquid! I didn't know that San Marco is related to KYK, but maybe that's why the shrimp fry is so delicious. You can even eat the tail.

I had lunch at the curry shop in the basement of JR Kyoto Isetan. The customer service here is very good because it is a department store. The cutlet in the curry is fried after the order is placed and is very crispy and delicious. When paying with the Isetan card, they say "Thank you, Mr./Ms. ○○" politely. I hope to receive such wonderful customer service in the future as well.

I found the restaurant in a corner on the basement second floor of Isetan! I could easily locate the shop by the scent!! It's been a long time since I had San Marco's curry! It was quite spicy, a bit too much for me! I almost forgot the taste from the old days. I always choose the pork cutlet curry as it's my favorite! The cutlet was piping hot, almost burning! The fried vegetables on top added a colorful and luxurious touch! There were many solo female diners! It was crowded during the New Year's period, but people ate quickly and left. It's a casual restaurant, so it's easy to walk in!

■Visit Date: August 10, 2019■Items Received: Large Pork Cutlet Curry■MEMOVisited on August 10, 2019. I came to Kyoto Station area to buy souvenirs for my upcoming trip back home. I usually go to the Shijo Kawaramachi or Shijo Karasuma area, but due to the summer heat, I decided to change my outing destination to Kyoto Station this time. With the Bon holiday starting, it was very crowded, Kyoto Station was packed with people. I bought some Yatsuhashi from Nishio and then went to Mangetsu on the basement floor of JR Kyoto Isetan to buy Ajari Mochi. It was a bit early, but I decided to have lunch here. The restaurant has an oval shape and also offers bento for takeout. I ordered the Large Pork Cutlet Curry. The curry with a large cutlet and fried summer vegetables on top was very satisfying and delicious. The curry also tasted great with peanuts and raisins as condiments. I am full and satisfied with this lunch. I want to go back home now.■Bloghttps://ay-style.net/?p=39456

I went shopping to find a souvenir for my client and ended up having lunch in the underground food court. I was planning to have my usual delicious oyakodon, but the smell of curry caught my attention. I decided to try the curry place next to the oyakodon shop. I ordered the "Shrimp Fry and Pork Cutlet Curry" for 981 yen. While waiting for it to be ready, I was served water and cabbage pickles. The rice portion was generous, with two shrimp fries on the left and cutlet on the right. The curry sauce had a strong spiced flavor, which was different from what I expected. The staff, who were older than me, were quick and efficient, making the dining experience enjoyable.

I visited the restaurant on the night of January 30th (Wednesday). I arrived in Kyoto around 7 pm by Shinkansen from Tokyo and was planning to check into the hotel before going to eat. However, on the way to the hotel in Kyoto, I started thinking that it might be easier to eat first. I remembered that there was a place to eat in the basement of Isetan, so I decided to stop by. It was San Marco Day on the 30th, and they had a special menu with discounted prices for Eggplant Curry. I ordered the Eggplant Curry in a large size and some pickles. It cost 711 yen including tax. When the dish arrived, I noticed that there was no prominent eggplant as expected. I asked the staff, and they confirmed that it was the Eggplant Curry in a large size. I was disappointed to find only small and few pieces of eggplant in it. The pickles were average. I felt quite betrayed by the lack of eggplant in the dish. Despite the disappointment, I finished eating quickly, paid, and left the restaurant feeling regretful.

Great value for money and a reliable curry dish. I tried the katsu curry for the first time and it was delicious with crispy fried cutlet. It was fun to customize with various toppings. My mother, who was with me, also enjoyed it. The spiciness level was just right! For those who don't like spicy food, they also have a mild curry option.

Pork cutlet curry - extra large serving. The spice is strong and it's delicious with a spicy kick. The cutlet is crispy and the side of cucumber is a nice touch.

I also took advantage of the eat-in option, which was quick and the seasonal vegetable curry was delicious. There were many solo female diners, and the turnover rate was high.

I visited after a long time. It was not crowded, so I decided to dine in. I ordered the Winter Vegetable Curry for 781 yen. With a discount, it was 703 yen, which is cheap. The ingredients were delicious and went well with the curry. It's a tasty curry that is easy to enjoy. I am satisfied.
