Kyoto, Japan｜Grill Hasegawa

This is a very popular place so people come to line up before opening time. Their food is really good and makes you think of coming back to try and order everything included in their menu. Wait staff are very attentive.

I’ve had a lot of hamburger steak in Japan but this place was definitely #1. I had the “A-Mix” which is a shrimp katsu and hamburger steak combo. Both mains were perfect, probably one of the top shrimp katsus I’ve ever had as well. Really cozy interior and pleasant staff. Overall a nice place to stop by during a walk on the river. Cash only.

Incredibly delicious! Everything was well flavoured, cooked perfectly. Be prepared to wait — we waited approximately 20 minutes, from 1330, so not exactly peak lunch time. Their hamburg is amazing, and unexpectedly the chicken katsu is very juicy.
