Kyoto, Japan｜Masuya

Small restaurant in an alley in Kyoto. Family owned with 7 bar seats. Food was delicious and made right in front of you. Prices are amazing. Had the Omurice and it was delicious, wife had the beef patty with gravy and it was devoured. Reminded us of locomoco from Hawaii. Would definitely eat there again.

Forget about the overcrowded and overpriced restaurants featured on tiktok and instagram. This place is an authentic gem. The restaurant is run by the family. Food is great, prices are significantly cheaper than tourist spots. Service was warm, and they were very helpful and happy to serve us foreigners. I tired the rice omelet and a plate that was very much like a sampler of different items. We paid $27 for a family of 4. This place is just excellent. A locals spot.

This is a small and charming, family-owned restaurant. The food is incredibly tasty and gives you a comforting home-cooked feel. I highly recommend paying them a visit if you're in the vicinity. Oh, and just a heads up, they only accept cash.
