Juju — Restaurant in Kyoto

We came here for the second time tonight (our first time was precovid) and were surprised to find it still in business. That alone should tell you its a good spot and popular with the locals. The prices were fair and portions adequate, we had a little trouble ordering more drinks and another meat platter but miscommunication is a given when you don’t speak the language so we weren’t upset. Overall we spent about $100 for 3 meat platters, two sides and 4 drinks (this includes the table charge as well) so pretty good value for...

For folks with little to no Japanese language skills, you might feel daunted coming here. The trick is to not mind you don't know the language and try yakkiniku for real in an authentic restaurant.

There are English menus. The English language skills of the folks working here varies but I've had no problems on the 3 occasions I've eaten here.

The food is good, the service is good and the atmosphere is...

Nothing wrong with the food, the service was lackluster however. The bell at our table didn't seem to work (or they ignored it), and they wouldn't look at us at all when serving people next to us. We had to call for them everytime and they didn't seem to wanna deal with us.

I'm guessing they aren't very welcoming to...
