Yakiniku Yuen

Unclaimed

My kids found this place through tablelog. I feel this place is heavily under rated. The quality of the various meats are GOOD!!! We tried all the different cut of beef. According to the websites, this place uses local beef, and personally, they are really good and better Kobe. Rich beefy taste, tender, juicy. Try the tongue, outside skirt, short ribs, chuck rib.

Stumbled upon this yakiniku joint on a Saturday night and was able to be seated. The beef is really high quality and the service is very friendly and prompt. My husband and I were the only two non-Japanese people in there, so you know it’s not a complete tourist trap! Tip: if you can use Google Lens to translate, the Japanese menu has more beef cuts to choose from ;) Price-wise on the dearer end, but still cheaper than other eateries around it. Highly recommend!!

I arrived to Kyoto late at night and found this place. I went inside because I found the signs outside cute :) The personal were extremely nice even though we struggled to communicate since I don’t speak japanese and they spoke little english. This restaurant is mainly meat but I told them I didn’t eat meat and they nicely arranged some veggies for me to cook on the grill. I also had an egg soup which was good too. I highly recommend!

Highly underrated veggie paradise for late nighters. Searching for vegetarian food in Kyoto on an empty stomach? Patience wearing thin? This place was a total unknown find, and they delivered top quality healthy, fresh Korean food and quickly. Loved the find. Get the vegetarian bibimbap and spicy noodles. Tofu salad was epic.
