LOBUTA plus Ajibil — Restaurant in Kyoto

We came here for one night looking for a quick dinner and arrived shortly after they opened. The lighting is dim and a TV was playing k-pop music videos, which was fine for us for atmosphere but the volume of the videos varied quite a bit which would sometimes make it hard to hear across the table.

You can scan a QR code for the menu and to order from your table - there is an English selection for the menu but most things are still not translated, so you may need to use a translation app still. The menu and ordering requires the Line app, so make sure you have an account set up before arriving or you may need to spend some time doing so before you can order.

We had garlic salt french fries, corn & cheese, and the soy crispy chicken with chili. Everything was very good, The fries were surprisingly some of the best we have had. I did not care for the cheese on the corn as much (as it was very dense) but that is personal preference- the taste was still good. The chicken was definitely the best part, it was not spicy even with the chili but the flavor was very good and the chicken cooked well. It is basically half of a chicken roughly chopped into large pieces.

I would definitely return here for some drinks and fried food...

Extremely disappointed : staff wasn't helpfull at all. we took about 10 minutes to order on the ipad as the menu and photos were quite rich and mouth watering.... but as we were about to finish we were asked to give back the tablet and got another one and all our basket was lost ... 5 minuts later we finalize again... 10 minutes later we got the drinks ... and the server explain 2 out of 3 of our food choices are unavalable (the tablet already showed other option as out of stock but not those ...) ok this happens but would gave been better to say before.... we take another 5 minutes to choose something else, send the order .... and the other choices we again out of stock ...

so at the end this was supposed to be a coraen restaurant but no more bibimbap, no more noodle.... and bascally only fried chicken nd fried rice, which would have been 1/2 price at chinese or japanese restaurant. staff was unhelpfull, and our order took a while to get delivered... I rarely make bad reviews but this was a real bad experience from...

The food was average at best. After trying real korean fried chicken, this was clearly not as good. Food took a bit long considering I was one of the only ones there. Staff not really helpful and absent most of the time (nowhere to be seen for more than 5 minutes at one go). I also don’t understand why I have to pay an extra 220 yen to take out food which im paying for. Music is also a bit too loud for my liking. A bit overpriced too. 2 stars...
