Collin BellNovember 25, 2016Exceptional beef. Every course was very strong, but the sirloin medium rare was the best I've ever had. Served with three sauces—no idea why you'd want to adulterated the delicious flavor of the meat.Upvote5Downvote
Matt BentonJanuary 7, 2018Came here for my birthday abroad. Amazing wagyu sirloin. Every part of the set course meal was fantastic. Wine and sake were great too. The owner was fun to talk and they gave me a special dessert.

Nikos BApril 8, 2018Probably the best meat I have ever tried. Wagyu sirloin and fillet really melted in my mouth. Well worth the price premium(special menu 13000 JPY). Reserve before!

Raul ValleApril 28, 2018Excellent beef. Had the special menu and every dish was excellent! The bbq appetizer was very tender. Wagyu sirloin and filet are extremely tender, juicy, melting in mouth!UpvoteDownvote- Panagiotis A.April 12, 2017Best wagyu beef I ever had, and quite reasonably priced for Kyoto.

Leonard LinApril 9, 2021Having returned to A/B test the superior (special) vs premium steak katsu, can confirm the former is way better. Worth every extra yen!

Nadira IlanaAugust 9, 2013They may not serve like a fine dining restaurant but the chef is a veteran butcher and knows his meat. Western cuisine with an Asian touch. Lean, tender, marbled perfection.UpvoteDownvote

Alexander LjungFebruary 22, 2019Great meat and worth a visit just for that, the other dishes and sides we’re mediocre tbh. Nice people running it.UpvoteDownvote
