“ Amazing cuts of meat and selection of sake and wine. ”
“ We were staying in the Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto and we decided to try out the teppanyaki. The chef and the waiters spoke some English, so they were able to answer your questions about the food you are enjoying. It is open to public as well, but make sure you call and make reservations. The cheapest course is at 10,000 yen, we decided to add an order of Wagyu Beef (100g) at 6,700 yen and it was the best decision :) ”
“ Extremely fun teppan yaki restaurant in the basement of nice hotel an easy walk from Kyoto station. It is not for the price conscious and there is not much of a show, unless you like abalone, which i do. Fascinating to watch abalone inflate with heat. We had good friendly neighbors- almost all hotel guests - and English speakers from various lands. We paid the premium for higher quality beef which delicious and perfectly prepared and sake was very high quality as well. The salad condiments and desert provided with the dinner set were all among the most tasty i have ever eaten! I wish there were more seafood on the menu and that staff were a little more charismatic but things improved when they saw we were responsive and appreciative! I will definitely eat there again and stay in the hotel. ”
“ Very pleasant dining experience, the beef is superb, and the overall combination is very suitable. The wagyu is A4 grade and the taste is just right ”
“ It was convenient that the restaurant is located in the hotel we stayed at. We had hotel guest course menu, I believe slightly discounted from regular menu. Also they have a kids menu and that was perfect for my son. My son enjoyed seeing the chief cooking in front of us. Servers are very nice and kind. Typical teppan-yaki meals. ”
