Doi Katsu Unagi Fushimi-Inari — Restaurant in Kyoto

This is really a hard dicision for me.

Because.... On the 1st time we tried, its really delicious, like nothing can compare, the grill unagi was on the very point that I can say if the chef takes even an inch more of a second it won't give that wonderful smoke taste at all. The sauce smoke is really on another level, its not give the charred feeling, its totally the sauce smoke and the unagi give the crisp texture that you can hear in every bite. SO SATISFY!!! The grilled liver also give an on point of taste, not too light not too rich, also soft and chewy which I really love it! So first impression is perfect to the point I want to give 10 out of 5

But... On the 2nd times we tried, everything gone down to another story, the unagi gave the burnted bitter taste, another dish was almost have no sauce at all. And both of the dish was burnt. Even the liver is not on point anymore. I won't lied, its pretty bad and I want to give an 3 stars

I don't know if its because the chef was in hurry or the first time was just accidentally perfect, so I'll give him a third time go later and I will make a review again.

Anyway, because the first impression was hit me real hard, so I'll still give 5 star for this time, because I still thinking of that dish until now!!

(The more burnt eel and almost no sauce eel pics are the set we get in...

I usually prefer my eel without any sauce, as I find that sauces often mask the freshness of the fish. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I enjoyed the sauced version here even more! The sauce was light, with a perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness that enhanced the flavors of the fish. I highly recommend it!

That said, this restaurant can get quite crowded, and the servers seem eager to turn tables quickly once you've finished your meal. While the food is fantastic, if you're looking for a place to relax and chat with friends, this might not be the...

This place has the worst attitude and services ever. I went to this place in July, and my brother was not feeling well, so we asked if we could order just one dish and other drinks and small dishes just to catch up the price for two people, because he clearly couldn’t eat any. Then, they asked him to WAIT OUTSIDE until I finish my dish, because ‘ one dish per person’ was their RULE. It was 38 CELSIUS outside. I will never recommend this place to anyone. There is reason why there was no customers when we came here. Just go to other famous places, if you want to have a nice experience in Japan. P.s. I’m the opposite of picky eater, I can literally eat anything, but this place’s food was to fishy. Also the dish I got was so different from the photo on the menu. I’ll attach photos for better understanding. No one there could understand, or speak English at all. I could understand what they said because I can understand Japanese; can’t speak tho. I wouldn’t recommend this place to foreigners. I’d rather starve and die if this was the only restaurant left on the earth.

7월에 다녀왔는데, 한창 더운 날에 뭘 잘못 먹었는지 동생이 속이 안 좋아서 뭘 먹지 못하는 상황이었어요. 그래서 두 명이서 갔지만 차라리 음료나 사이드 디쉬로 금액을 맞출테니 안 되냐 물었는데, 1인 1메뉴가 필수적이라며 동생보고 밖에 나가서 일행이 다 먹을때까지 기다리라더군요. 밖은 38도에 열사병 주의보가 뜰 정도로 더운 날씨였는데 말이죠. 최악의 서비스였습니다. 기본적으로 일본어 못하면 나가라 하는 분위기였습니다. 저는 일본어를 조금 해서 그나마 알아듣고 꼽주는 분위기도 눈치챘지, 일본어 전혀 모르시면 정말 눈 뜨고 코 베이고 오겠네요. 불친절하고, 무례했습니다. 맛도 그다지 좋지 않았네요. 생굴에 상한것도 모르고 먹을 정도로 비위가 좋은 사람인데, 여기는 한참 죽어서 가기 직전이었던 장어를 구운 건지 비린내가 심해서 두세입 먹다가 내려놨습니다. 메뉴판에서 보이는 사진이랑 실물도 너무 다르네요. 사진 첨부해두겠습니다. 사람이 안 오는데에는 이유가 있네요. 굳이 이곳 오지 마시고 서비스 좋고 친절하다는 다른 유명한 집들 가세요. 여기...
