After finishing drinking, I visited the Sukiya Shijo store. It's a wonderful restaurant that I always end up at when I travel to Kyoto. I ordered curry, which was delicious and affordable as always! It was a bit tough to finish because I had been drinking, but I managed to eat it all. I definitely want to go back again! Now, I will visit the next restaurant.

- Fire Chicken Curry: 730 yen This curry has been simmered slowly, with a large bone-in chicken on top. It is sprinkled with garlic flakes with chili pepper. The chicken is so tender that it can easily be shredded with a spoon, no need to hold or bite into it. The spiciness is not as intense as the name suggests, maybe around a level 2 spiciness of CoCo Ichibanya curry. However, the amount of garlic flakes may vary depending on the cook, so be cautious. If you're not a fan of spicy food, it might be best to avoid it. But if you're curious, give it a try. Thank you for the meal!

When I'm alone, I like to search for local specialties or famous restaurants, but when I'm with my husband, we always end up at a beef bowl place for dinner. I usually get a mini beef bowl, while my husband orders a regular beef bowl with salad and miso soup on the side. We balance our meal by adjusting the number of items we order. I like to add ginger and chili pepper to my beef bowl, and I always leave half of my rice uneaten.

I came for lunch on Wednesday, December 9, 2020. The interior of the restaurant is clean and relaxing. I ordered the Mega Takana Mentaiko Mayo Gyudon. It was incredibly delicious and made me very happy. My mouth was filled with happiness. I am completely satisfied and filled with joy. The menu is extensive, so I want to try various dishes next time. It's great when there is a lot of mentaiko mayo sauce. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely go back. I will eat with gratitude for all the ingredients in this world. I'm calling out to all the delicious foods♪ The more I eat, the more power overflows♪

Mr. X's mission: Try the Negitoro bowl at Sukiya. Visited Sukiya for the first time with the purpose of trying the Negitoro bowl. Despite being tempted by the morning set menu, I mustered up the courage and looked at the menu page for the Negitoro bowl. Somehow, I felt that just the Negitoro bowl looked a bit plain, so I ended up ordering the Maguro Yukke bowl. It wasn't the Negitoro bowl! But when I tried it, I found it delicious, although I felt that the Yukke sauce was unnecessary. I actually preferred eating the sauce separately with soy sauce. I think next time I'll just go with the Negitoro bowl. It was more filling than I expected.

I visited Sukiya again. Instead of the usual beef bowl, I had the tuna sashimi bowl. Unfortunately, the mini curry set I was hoping for did not make a comeback, so I ordered it as an extra item. It's been a while since I had curry, but it seemed more like soup this time. I prefer thicker curry, so I was a bit disappointed. The tuna, however, was delicious as always! Thank you for the meal.

[Visit on Friday, December 28, 2018, around 10:00 AM - Body check-up day] I took the train alone and arrived early for lunch. I had the Beef Sukiyaki Bowl (regular size) for 690 yen including tax, 808kcal. "Tender beef and plenty of vegetables simmered in sweet and savory sukiyaki sauce, served over rice. A dish that offers the volume of sukiyaki in a convenient bowl format." I think a bit more sauce would be nice... but it was delicious. I also had the Egg Set for 120 yen including tax, 132kcal. It came with egg and miso soup. Thank you for the meal! 🍚

I visited Sukiya for lunch. Although I have never tried the gyudon, my favorite is the maguro tataki don. The maguro, which is served straight from the bag without any garnishes, is quite impressive. In the past, they used to have a mini curry set which would fill me up nicely, but since it's gone, it's too expensive to order... I hope they bring back the mini curry set. Thank you for the meal.

I usually get takeout, but I decided to eat in the restaurant after a long time. I've always thought that there are many international student staff, and sometimes it's difficult to communicate with them even to place an order. Eating in the restaurant made me feel like the portion was small, so I think takeout might be a better deal after all. They have limited-time menu items, so I want to try one of those next time I go.

There is a Yoshinoya and a Sukiya near my place, but I prefer Sukiya! I always get the Mini Negi-Tama Gyudon with extra onions and extra sauce. It's a valuable option for me who often eats late at night. I also like the fact that Sukiya serves tea.笑

Every summer, they have this garlic sprout beef bowl that is just amazing. It's spicy and full of garlic sprouts, absolutely delicious. I wish they would make it a year-round menu item.

The onion was undercooked and lacked flavor, so it wasn't tasty. Lately, when I go to Sukiya, the onions are often not cooked enough. It's very disappointing, can something be done about it?

I had a beef bowl set meal with a bottle of beer, even though it was Super Dry. Well, it was okay because I wanted to drink beer. "Sukiya" has been getting mixed reviews, but the guy working there seemed busy handling everything on his own.

Honestly, I felt less satisfied than at other stores. It's a chain, so the menu should be consistent, but I found it hard to understand.

I have been experiencing taste abnormalities when eating, so I haven't been motivated to choose a restaurant... (´；Д；`)... With that in mind, I decided to enter the "Sukiya" restaurant. Facing Daimaru, with high-end boutiques lining the street. The nearby parking lot costs a minimum of 2,400 yen for overnight parking. Moreover, it's only a two-minute walk from the hotel. However, the Sukiya restaurant here is just a one-minute walk away. Looking at the menu, they offer a "Wagyu beef suki plate set" for 850 yen. It feels like the meal was prepared at a central kitchen and then served. It's decently tasty, but the cabbage was cooked evenly and ended up being unsatisfying. I tried it in order to increase the customer spending, but I probably won't order it next time.

Due to my age, I often find it hard to eat in the morning even when I am hungry. However, I can easily eat okra and eggs over rice, which helps me start the day feeling energized. The breakfast set, which includes bonito flakes, a meat side dish, miso soup with seaweed, green onions, and fried tofu, is delicious and only costs 320 yen including tax. It's the best value for money breakfast set.

I visited for breakfast during Golden Week in May 2016. I was staying at the neighboring Century Cabin Spa Kyoto and had the option of hotel bread or the set here, so I chose the latter on the second day. Set A came with rice, miso soup, salmon, meat, and one side dish. The taste was okay. The atmosphere was not bad either. The staff were friendly. I don't usually visit places like this unless it's a special occasion, so it was my first time here, but it was good. I also realized that dining alone at Sukiya is a good experience. I recommend trying the breakfast at Sukiya.

This is a restaurant review of "Sukiya" located at Shijo-Karasuma in Kyoto. On this day, around 9 o'clock, I was wandering around looking for a place to eat but couldn't find anything good. I remembered seeing a commercial for Sukiya's seafood Chuka-don in the spring and decided to try it out. Although I don't usually go to Sukiya, the interior of the restaurant was what you would expect from a beef bowl chain. However, there were many table seats at the back which was impressive. Unlike other beef bowl chains, Sukiya doesn't operate on a ticket system, so you have to order with the staff. During the morning hours, there were few staff members and surprisingly many customers, so it took longer than expected for a fast food restaurant. I ordered the seafood Chuka-don for 480 yen as originally planned. The seafood Chuka-don that came out didn't look as packed with seafood and vegetables as in the commercial. I searched online and found that this seems to be the case for most restaurants. However, when you take it to go, the packed container seems to have more seafood and vegetables. In terms of appearance, takeout seems to provide a higher level of satisfaction. As for the taste, although it seems like they just poured a retort-like sauce over rice, it was surprisingly flavorful. The sauce had a slightly thick consistency. The ingredients included scallops, shrimp, squid, squid legs, quail eggs, Chinese cabbage, napa cabbage, naruto, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, carrots, and more, making it quite hearty. The shrimp and scallops were not as cheap-looking as expected, and the larger pieces were a nice touch considering the price. Personally, I think just a little more effort in arranging the bowl to hide the rice would increase the satisfaction level, but I understand that chain restaurants have limitations in terms of presentation. Overall, considering the price, I believe it's a decent seafood bowl.

This is a Sukiya restaurant located in Shijo, Kyoto. It is located across from Daimaru, along Shijo Street. There is also a Yoshinoya nearby. Sukiya is known for its curry, and this was my first time trying their beef bowl. They have a wide variety of options compared to other beef bowl restaurants. The sauce was a bit spicy. In terms of ranking, I would say Matsuya > Yoshinoya > Sukiya > Nakau. The restaurant has a spacious interior with mainly counter seats and a few two-person tables. The cash register is located at the entrance, causing congestion with both dine-in and takeout customers. It might be better to rethink the layout, maybe switching to a ticket system like Matsuya.

Visited before 8:00 pm on September 4, 2014. In the morning of that day, I had a Tekkadon at Yoshinoya which honestly wasn't that great, so I wanted to verify how it compares to other chain restaurants. - Ordered item: Tekkadon for 594 yen. Miso soup not included. Paid at the register upon leaving. - Taste/Overall impression: Honestly, I haven't really been a fan of Sukiya in the past. If I want Gyudon, I go to Yoshinoya, and for set meals, I prefer Matsuya. I never had much interest in Sukiya's version of Gyudon, so I rarely visited. However, I must say that this particular dish was quite good. The rice is seasoned with a blend of rice vinegar and soy sauce, topped with seaweed and accented with white sesame seeds. The tuna, which I assume is frozen Mebachi or Kihada, was plentiful and fresh enough to not have any fishy smell. Considering the price of 594 yen, I was quite satisfied. Sukiya is often associated with harsh working conditions like the one-person operation. By pushing employees and part-time workers to their limits and cutting labor costs, they offer Gyudon at a lower price compared to other chains. This strategy seems to be at a crossroads. Our store also used to operate with one person, and we have experienced incidents during late-night hours. On this day, there were three staff members on a relatively thick shift. At this crossroads, exploring new approaches to bowl dishes that have not been previously offered might be a ray of hope. Directly competing with other chains in the Gyudon arena would be tough, and Matsuya has the upper hand in set meal menus. Moreover, operational complexity is inevitable. Enhancing a simple and profitable bowl menu with attractive options could be the way forward for this chain. These thoughts crossed my mind as I left the restaurant.
