Brown — Restaurant in Kyoto

We visited the restaurant on a hot afternoon, a group of six, and ordered five meals since one of us couldn't eat due to heatstroke. The owner charged an additional 300 yen for the person who didn't order, stating that those who don't order must pay this fee to stay inside. Despite the restaurant's limited seating of only 10, there were still two to three empty seats during our visit, so our presence didn't affect the business. Additionally, the air conditioning inside was not cool, making the service charge unreasonable. The owner's attitude was also poor, making this the worst service we've encountered.

After a long day of visiting amazing temples in Eastern Kyoto, the kids were hungry after exploring Eikandocho Temple. Fortunate to try out Brown Restaurant as the track back to Kyoto Station was too far. Super nice uncle freshly prepared excellent hamburg steak, omurice, seafood set with perfectly fried oysters in batter to accompany the prawns and katsu. Very filling aand my teenagers and 12 year old all gave a thumbs up. Tried mainly his curry sauce but food was finished before we could take pictures. Sorry. Small neighbourhood establishment with a wall covered by shelves of manga. My manga fan teenager's were very happy browsing while the nice uncle fried up our orders. Verdict excellent value budget meal ...

Small little place on the corner ran by a husband and wife. Neither spoke any English but fortunately the menus have some English on them anyway, plus there was a very nice patron there who spoke a bit of English.

These folks are an absolute gem and gave me their recommendations when I wasn’t sure what to pick. They also gave me the name of this purple seasoning to put on rice. They were glad when I said the food was delicious! It was also very cheap. I ate to my fill for under ¥1,000. As someone from a high cost of living city in the US, this was amazing. They were also so surprised I found them on google! So modest!

I would gladly come here again if I’m ever in Kyoto. They were great!
