The bar seats are way too close together — you constantly have to be careful not to bump into the strangers next to you. It’s super awkward. Food is average.

Absolutely outstanding experience at Kyoto Gyukatsu! From the moment I walked in, everything exceeded my expectations — the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were incredibly polite and attentive, and the food was simply exceptional. The gyukatsu was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. You can truly taste the quality in every bite.
The prices were more than fair considering the high quality of the ingredients and service. It’s rare to find a place that gets everything right — but Kyoto Gyukatsu absolutely does.
Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area. I’ll definitely be coming back!

i was scared that this place was going to be trendy and overhyped coming from an instagram page. while it’s not like gyukatsu motomura where you grill your meet. the food is absolutely delicious! the onsen egg and the cuts of meat were perfect!

I ate here three different times, so the prices range wildly from the katsu sandwiches at around $10 per plate to the $120 A5 Wagyu set, which they only do 10 sets per week. I think this is a really good Japanese restaurant, with juicy meats, rice, and lettuce galore. The fact I went here three times in three weeks should tell you about how good this place is.

Very good food and service. Its very affordable for japanese cuisine. A friend recommended this place to us and we'll be back for sure! ありがと!

Gyukatsu was great! It reminded us of the one we had in japan from the famous chain. The Katsu is nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We go the Sirloin and ribeye cuts. The Sirloin had a nice beef flavour but a bit tough, meanwhile the ribeye was amazing. It was a bit more expensive but it was very tender and fatty, great experience!

Great place for the price in the downtown area. The side dishes that come with the meal make it so filling

Had a really good time here. Food was great and fresh. Service is 5/5 what you expect at a authentic Japanese restaurant. Highly recommended. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, soft inside and outside was crispy with a thin layer of panko. The rice was seasoned well with a light sweet sauce. The cabbage salad and pour your own amount of tart and sweet ponzu perfectly balanced out the bites of heaviness of the gyukatsu.
Food was good but not great for the price point. I was hoping for a more succulent steak but it was a bit chewy. I got the Australian Wagyu. The condiments were good though. Staff were good.

I recently visited Kyoto Katsugyu and tried the Striploin Gyukatsu Guu. The flavors were nice, with a great variety of dipping sauces to enhance the dish. However, I didn’t leave feeling completely full, as the portion was a bit on the lighter side (I ordered the 6oz). Overall, a great spot for a flavorful meal, though you might want to order a bit extra if you're very hungry. Staff were really nice and inside was cute.

Great experience, tasty food. Very good services. The only downside is the rice was dry and a bit chewy. Nonetheless, will recommend.

I had the rib eye Katsu served in a juu. The Katsu was delicious but I wish there was a bigger portion. Even with the 6oz, I still felt hungry ? The cabbage salad also had no seasoning so it was plain. Nice space overall

The dishes served were not freshly prepared; the katsu was not fried on order and lacked the crispiness, juiciness, and tenderness I would have expected. The rice was dry and not fresh. The staff are pleasant and dishes served fast but I would prefer slower service and food prepared to order. Considering the somewhat high prices, I was expecting better and would not recommend.
