The Genghis Khan here is incredible! The lamb is so tender and packed with flavor thanks to their special marinade. We sat at the counter and grilled it ourselves—such a fun experience. The staff were friendly and even recommended a local sake pairing. Perfect after visiting Kinkakuji
Stopped by for the Steak Bowl lunch, and it did not disappoint. The Wagyu beef was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the portion was generous for the price. The restaurant has a relaxed vibe, and it’s just a short walk from Kinkakuji. Would come back!
Loved the cozy, rustic feel of this place! We ordered the Genghis Khan set and loved how the meat caramelized on the grill. The homemade dipping sauce was a standout. Great for small groups—we’ll definitely return for dinner next time!
