Ushiya Yohei — Restaurant in Kyoto

Stumbled upon this beef restaurant by chance and what a find it turned out to be! It's nestled in a spot where not many eateries offer walk-in availability, making this place a true gem. Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded during dinner, allowing us to enjoy a whole room to ourselves.

The food quality was unexpectedly superb, especially for a restaurant in the heart of Kyoto that wasn't bustling with patrons.

They gave us a customer service rating sheet which makes me think they don’t get a lot of customers, BUT THEY SHOULD!! If you’re in the area defiantly come here to support them and if you would like a cozy...
