Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu - Kyoto Station
Tonkatsu restaurant
👍 Kobe gyukatsu! It's more expensive than other gyukatsu places but they also have more options for cuz of meat and sets.
I don't enjoy dipping in curry 🍛. I think it doesn't work well with the meat. Soy sauce plus wasabi is the best combo.
Cabbage is unlimited 🥬👍

Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu - Ponto-cho Main Shop
Syokudo and Teishoku restaurant
😠 Great idea, unfortunately not well executed: meet is of very low quality and no matter how long you continue to cook it on the hot stow on the table, it is not getting less chewy. Sides are also not tasty and just very blunt and uninspiring. The only good dish was the fried meatballs. Further, you w...

Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu - Teramachi-Kyogoku
Syokudo and Teishoku restaurant
👍👍 A nice gyukatsu restaurant in a hot place in Kyoto. There were always people waiting outside. The beef tongue was surprisingly the best tasting gyukatsu that we have ever tried. The curry sauce going with the beef tongue was also really nice.

Gyūkatsu Kyōto Katsugyū - Kawaramachi
Syokudo and Teishoku restaurant
👍👍 I admit that we didn’t do any research of Kyoto, we just passed by and saw many people lining up here. I wasn’t even know it’s actually fried steak not fried pork. We lined up for about 20 minutes. However, it was worthy of standing in chilly wind for this meal. Absolutely amazing! Beautiful rare in...

Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu - Gion Yasaka
Syokudo and Teishoku restaurant
👍👍 I love that they offer mini ceramic or stone mine stoves so you won’t have to fight with the cook regarding how you take your beef well done vs medium rare.
The matcha ice cream is divine. The beef is perfect for me. I love that the rice is sticky enough not to fall of the chopsticks.
Place is a b...

Gyukatsu Motomura Sanjo Kawaramachi Branch
Meat dish restaurant
👍👍 This location in particular has a beautiful restaurant space. We were seated near the window which oversaw the river walk. From the other 2 locations we have visited, this location really stood out. As we walked into the restaurant all of the staff welcomed us. The staff here do speak a bit of Engli...

Katsukura Tonkatsu Sanjo Main Store
Tonkatsu restaurant
👍👍 English menu is available. Queue was pretty long but it was worth the wait. It took us within an hour for the queue.
We ordered two different pork cutlets but I still prefer the signature one. We also ordered the scallop to try and it didn’t disappoint.
Restaurant is actually quite spacious inside s...

Katsukura - Kyoto Porta
Tonkatsu restaurant
🫤 Sorry to say but this place is overrated & too expensive. Ordered the highest quality pork katsu (Hiraboku Kinkaton rosu - from Yamagata). That is their recommendation. Definitely far below my expectation as I have tasted much better tonkatsu in Ikkebukuro, Tokyo (I will not name the restaurant here...

Loveee it that there’s different sizes of bowls available depending on your appetite, and that they...

Yayoi Ken - Shijo Karasuma Branch
Syokudo and Teishoku restaurant
👍👍 Will give it a six star if possible. True value for money. Beef set with 1.5 times more meat is 1520 yen. Fish set is 670 yen and pork cutlet set is 890 yen. I appreciate their free flow of hot tea and white pearl rice in huge pots, good quality too. I initially thought it is a better class restaura...

👍👍 English reviewer here! Yes this place is good! Cheap prices, but delicious and filling food. Great for a quick meal if you don't have the time to sit at a fancy restaurant like I did a few times. I wanted to avoid fast food like this, but I'm glad I didn't because it's not like American fast food. I...

Yayoiken

👍👍 I stayed in Kyoto for four days and ate here for all four. You first order and pay before being seated. Multiple languages are available, and credit cards can be used. After that, you find a seat, and a staff member will collect your ticket. The best part about this chain restaurant is that white ri...

👍👍 Loved this place! Great food, cool atmosphere and enthusiastic, professional service. We ordered one of the pork and chicken cutlet sets that came with vegetables, rice, potato salad and curry sauce. It was also a nice touch to be able to grind the whole sesame seeds to make your own tonkatsu sauce....

Be seated and boom💥 your order will be called within minutes. Kinda of over ordered for 2person. Quality of food you...
