Sumiyakiyasaitoyakitori TSUJIYA kyotoeki kitaten — Restaurant in Kyoto

Our daughter who lives in Japan with her husband booked this amazing restaurant! Even though weather conditions led to the cancellation of their train, my husband and I went along to one of the most unexpectedly delightful and delicious dinners! A double shot highball for hubby and a hot sake for me. We were given a yummy cold cream of potato soup as an amuse bouche. The English menu was available through a QR code and our waitress Yurine was attentive and helpful - although we needed to use google translate! This actually added to the fun atmosphere. We ordered an incredible potato salad topped with a perfectly poached egg and micro caviar, and several chicken Yakitori skewers. What a find.

TLDR: there’s plenty of good-quality food (at reasonable prices and with good service); don’t...

This restaurant was a great find near my hotel and Kyoto Station. When I arrived, it was full, but the staff kindly offered to make a reservation for a bit later — and I’m so glad I waited! The food did not disappoint. I ordered the yakitori assortment and every skewer was amazing. I also tried the grilled avocado with salmon cream cheese and the cheese sausage — both delicious. I paired it all with a refreshing lemon sour, which went perfectly with the meal.

The atmosphere was cozy and lively, the food was fantastic, and the staff were very friendly. While they don’t speak much English, they do offer an English menu and are very willing to help. I absolutely loved the experience and would definitely...
