Sukiya Shijo — Restaurant in Kyoto

Quick and cheap ideal for students or people on the go, or for those eating alone with the counter seats. This place specialises in sautéed beef sukiyaki over rice, i however opted for the beef curry in a set with salad and miso soup. Partner got the hamburger curry with tofu and miso soup. The curry sauce although modest on the spice and overly sweet made for a delicious bite when eaten with the marinated/sautéed sukiyaki beef and onions. This was surprisingly umami. The hamburg patty was soft and drizzled with a Demi glaze which my partner enjoyed mixed in his curry. Overall this place is great value for money which earns it a higher rating however doesn’t compare to coco curry for depth of flavour...

As the kids are getting cranky, we decided to clean one of the table and managed to order our food. Luckily the food were still served and they looked fresh...
