Wagyu Sukiyaki Kyoto Chikarayama Shijo Kawaramachi Store

A genuinely exceptional experience. Booked last minute for the following night upon seeing the reviews, and I’m so glad I did. Exceptional service from a young team of skilled chefs, expertly preparing everything for us. They came and spoke to us throughout, giving a number of recommendations across Japan for us too. Every course brought an extra depth to the experience, and my only regret was finishing the rice on course 3 without realising there was a 4th! Yet, I was still offered more rice. Lovely experience on my last night here in Kyoto.

I had a great experience here. They were very friendly when they welcomed me in and cheered for me when I said I wanted to eat sukiyaki. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I ordered the Fuji course and everything was made in front of you. They allowed pictures and filming, so it's a great way to make memories. Would definitely come back.

Our dinner wasn't only about the food itself but also the experience. 1 staff will take care of you, from introducing the ingredients to cooking with the stove in front of you and serving the food. 1 course per person, it includes the appetizer (sashimi), 1 slide of beef on tofu cooked in clear broth, then 4 pieces of beef grilled in caramelized sugar pan (which was the star of the whole meal) then 2 slide of beef in the hotpot (yeah, literally very sweet with that caramelized sugar and some soy sauce) then tea & yuzu ice cream. Tbh, I love everything but the ending hotpot which was way too sweet for me, water spinach, mushroom taste like candies. Staff are very nice, totally the Japanese customer service that ppl expect. Please note that their POS may not take your foreign credit cards like ours, my husband had to run to the convenience store to grab cash instead.

The sukiyaki and beef is certainly nice and they will cook it for you for a very relaxing experience. The waitress who served us was very friendly. The tables and seatings were spacious and make for a nice Tatami experience although it was quite noisy as the tourist group next to us were quite loud. It obviously has nothing much to do with the restaurant, but would've been nice if they helped to tone down the noise a bit by giving them a nice reminder to respect other guests. Overall I would recommend this place for the food and service.

The beef was absolutely superb — tender, rich, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and all the staff were so friendly and attentive. A special shoutout to Taiki, who served us — he was so warm, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a top-quality sukiyaki experience in Kyoto!

We had such a wonderful time! Sana cooked our food perfectly and they were able to cater to my dietary needs (no onion) with ease. They were also very patient with our little kids. 10/10

What an amazing experience this was, one of the most lively and expressive dinner experience we have ever had! Everything was perfect, the service, led by Shoki, Kaiya, Tahseen was superb and entertaining; the food was the best sukiyaki we have ever had and it was the highest quality! There was a light and fun atmosphere all throughout the dinner and people were asked to take Halloween photos and it is not even Halloween yet!

Amazing experience! Staff were so kind and welcoming. English speaking so they were able to explain the menu. I got the wagyu set and the meat was melt in your mouth! The shabu shabu part of the meal was a bit salty for my taste but otherwise excellent meal :) total cost plus drink was ~ 18300 yen for one person. love from Canada!
