craft dining upit — Restaurant in Kyoto

Super neat jazzy atmosphere. As to be expected there's of course a language barrier for those Americans reading this... But the inexcusable piece is literally you pointed the menu, say "Kore" And they still managed to mess up both burgers entirely for literally no modifications at all.

After using Google translate to tell him the burgers didn't even come out anywhere close to what the menu stated... like legit, at all. They just straighup mashed two menu items together, then randomly added avocado.... because? Maybe they mixed up another point of the menu??? I dunno, but what we got made zero coherent sense based on any single menu items, and at the end of the day. They remade it.

Food comes out quickly after the fix and the Fries are good, but small portion. Burger presentation looks wonderful, and plenty of juicy goodness to go around. Now that said let me offer my opinion on the burger, one that is not applicable to many....

I asked using translate if the meat had onions in it, and I got a clear "hai". Based on the reviews and another guest saying they didn't taste anything, took a chance that the onions would be cooked down enough in the meat... If you're the type of person who does not want onions on a cheeseburger, or just thinks they are disgusting, straight up avoid this place. For me this was an absolutely catastrophic experience. One in which I couldn't actually finish the burger. I went in wondering if the Japanese could pull of a better interpretation of an American classic. If you like onions, you'll love this place and think they did. If you hate them, you'll hate this place and walk away wanting a McDonald's classic.

Overall between completely drunkenly making two variations of on the menu burgers, and eating what tastes like a straight red onion, I hated this place. Clearly the reviews would suggest better experiences can happen but that certainly...

Wow! What a great find in Kyoto. We arrived in Kyoto late and we were looking for an easy meal option near our hotel. We saw the reviews for Upit and thought we would give it a try given that they were open until 10pm.

The staff were friendly and we didn't experience any language challenges. We were able to easily order a couple of burgers and fries with some great fruit flavoured sodas (peach and a lime cola). The drinks came quickly and were tasty, cool and refreshing.

When our burgers arrived they were huge! I read another review that complained about the portion being small - I don't know how that could be. The burger was so big you could barely fit it in your mouth! Both our burgers were extremely juicy and flavourful. We opted for the Upit burgers (one single and one double), and added fried onions). The fries on the side were great as well!

The atmosphere in the restaurant was fun and lively. Fun 70s funk music playing kept the mood very upbeat.

Service, food and atmosphere were all fantastic! Highly recommend Upit burger. They rival some of that beat burger joints we've been too (and we've been trying lots of burger places all...

Tucked away in a little alley way off one of the main streets in Kyoto is a hidden gem. So you've spent a few days in the city, eaten all the sushi, had the crabs legs. Maybe you got lucky and managed to get a table at the Noma pop-up. You've done the local food thing, and wonderful as it is, you're craving a good ol burger. Roll right up my friend because you're about to have one of the finest burgers in your life. There is almost nothing wrong with these towering stacks of hand moulded pure kobe beef patties, stacked with fresh ingredients. I had the cheeseburger and it came with rivers of cheese oozing off it. I spied two different types thrown on the hotplate during the cooking. I say almost nothing wrong, there was for me a crucial ingredients missing. Pickles. That's right, they don't have any on the menu. A travesty in my book. What they do have, though is anchovy french fries, (shoestring) which were absolutely delicious. do yourself a favour, find this little bar, climb up the stairs to the small dining room and have one of the best...
