Hiroshima Teppan Kamu — Restaurant in Kyoto

We were a group of 5 that walked in because the restaurant wasn’t crowded at all. We sat down and used their scanning system to order. The food took 1.5 hours to arrive. The food was room temperature, the broccoli very overcooked. We believe this restaurant treated us in this manner because they do not want to serve tourists.

If you want to waste your money, leave hungry, and deal with unprofessional behavior, this is your spot. I’ll...

I don’t think they are into doing foreigners’ business. Maybe they should just put up a sign outside to say ‘locals only’. It would have been much better if they outright tell me no foreigners than to make me sit and wait. Left a bad taste...
