Korean BBQ Vegetejiya shijo-kiyamachi — Restaurant in Kyoto

Do not believe the reviews. This is not Korean barbecue.

This is a tourist trap "Korean barbecue experience" for those who have never had it before.

There was no rice, garlic pieces, onions, oyster mushroom, or fish cake. The side dishes were pitiful. The ssamjang had PEANUT BUTTER or something in it, and the stew had miso in it (not Korean ingredients).

Believe me, I asked for rice and the like, but they said they "didn't have any." The restaurant doesn't even properly ventilate. The table under the stove is burned through.

Please stop rating an inauthentic, expensive, and bizarre restaurant 5 stars. We wasted like 8,000 yen...

The meal was fine but the service ruined the whole experience. The staff was clearly untrained and treated us very poorly. They delivered us the check before we finished eating and we hadn’t even asked for it yet. Seemed like they were rushing us out. And then, a new customer came, clearly a local, and a staff person directly guided him to our table and literally motioned for us to scoot over, with a very unfriendly face, like we were being inconvenient or something. And mind you, there were plenty other empty tables around. I was so upset that I decided to not finish my food, and left the place. If you are a foreigner, beware...

Hi, here is a very young team working. You will experience their ambition and also their disability to serve a group properly. They forget the order and bring the wrong food. The food is very fat, nothing for people who wanna loose weight :) the price is affordable. Give the team some time and let them try to produce a better quality I was wondering why my Asian friends were not complaining, it was only me the Caucasian one who got ignored, the waiter who I’ve asked 3 times to bring my meat, brought the wrong menu when all my friends had finished their meal. Maybe this restaurant is little open...
