Teppan Steak House 青山 — Restaurant in Kyoto

Food was okay, but the service was the worst I have ever experienced in Japan. From the second we entered the staff couldn’t be less friendly. The supposed ‘nice meal’ was all served within 30 minutes. Not a single dish was explained - each time we had to ask to get even the shortest glimpse of interaction. The staff were cleaning up the whole time while we were eating and made us feel rushed and unwelcomed. Totally unjapanese and would NOT recommend this place to anyone who comes to Kyoto. Only giving a 2 star because the food was OK but the service was absolutely ghastly, and a 2 star is frankly...

With seating for only around 10 people you can easily imagine having your own private gourmet meal. We rented out the entire restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed our evening there. The food was at a reasonable price and delicious. The wine was good. The ambience and friendliness of the chefs and staff made the experience a five star rating for myself. And my family we have become repeat customers when we go to Kyoto. I highly recommend you make reservations a few...

We were staying close and wanted to have some teppanyaki. This was an excellent choice. Only eight seats, but this is the real deal (forget Benihana).

This will be about a $100 USD per person (including sake). Your heart will be satisfied....
