The entire Resturaunt’s was empty and we sat a a big table for 4 and was directed to move to another table which was smaller ?????? Make it make sense. When asked for the manager, David said he can’t come out because he’s busy. I wonder why the workers there have such bad work ethic maybe because it reflects on David the manager.

We have been here three times. The services are good. The dishes look good. But the flavors are so so so bland.

The food was ok. I had the Kimchi Udon. It came with foam on top of the noodles. There wasn't enough Kim Chi. They could have added some kind of meat. Their beef dishes are expensive.

Five adults, five different dishes, plus a calamari appetizers, and each dish was pretty average, super bland except for the calamari. The udon dish was super sweet. Eeek. Although cute idea of searing the meat on the ceramic mini grill.

Parking is easy, decor is nice and modern (but not overly so), staff are nice. But the food isn't great, at best a B- C+ kinda joint. Korean ran Japanese joint, so the flavor is a little different, and cheese on everything. Okay place in a pinch, but not really recommended.

Came here for my bday and all the food we ordered was delish! Everyone loved their order. If it's your 1st time going, might be best to come in a group so you can share most items because it's so hard to pick one! Service was a bit slow and ambiance is on point! We would be back!

My girlfriend and I were really excited to try this place since it reminded us of our time in Japan. The food was good but not great. The highlight of our meal was the cold soba. The noodles had a great texture to them and the dipping sauce paired very well. There was just enough amount of wasabi, radish and green onions.The ramen was alright for us. We've definitely had better ramen and much less salty. The egg was probably the highlight of our ramen bowl. I love the toppings but it doesn't get much better than that since the broth was quite salty.Our premium gyukatsu was also just okay in flavor. The meat comes precooked and breaded (hence the "katsu"). You get to cook as well done or as rare as you want. The breading on the exterior gives it a nice texture to the silkiness of the meat. Even though we cooked the meat to a medium/well done temp it still tastes really chewy.Service came fast but they only stopped by the table once so I was left thirsty through our meal as it was a bit difficult to flag someone down.

I've been here many times! The #1 in check in's here for munching. I've told all my friends about this place and they enjoyed it as well. I always get the Curry Beef Udon and my girlfriend gets the Beef Udon, sometimes a Chicken Cutlet w/ Curry to share as well.The prices go from really affordable to fine dining if you'd like since they carry quality meats here. I have yet to try there delicious Wagyu...ONE DAY!!!!My only problem with this place is the service, nearly all the times we have to flag someone down to get something and i don't think its the waiters fault it just seems understaffed on their side, always running around and having to get this & that for others. Overall! Recommend this place to anyone who wants good udon soups with consistent flavors every-time you come around!

We came on a Friday, right when they opened and was directed to sit at any available table. We ordered the pork cutlet dish with a side of the kelp egg. We also got the chicken curry udon noodles. Pork cutlet was delicious, crispy and tender. Went very well with the kelp egg in my opinion. Chicken curry udon was also very delicious. Udon noodles was cooked to my liking. The restaurant was very nice.

I have had Kyoto Gyukatsu bookmarked for some time now but I forgotten about it until my boyfriend brought it up as one of the options for lunch. I clearly opted to come here for lunch that day. Parking in this plaza can be crowded, but there is a parking structure in the back if you don't mind walking a bit. As we approached there was a decent amount of outdoor umbrella covered seating, but it was so windy no one was sitting outside. They also have a decent amount of tables inside. The décor was really cute modern and whimsical. We decided to share a Beef Gyukatsu Set ($24.95), the Kelp Egg ($2.50) dipping sauce, and a Cream Curry Udon ($13.95). The beef gyukatsu set came with rice, salad, miso soup, edamame, pickled veggies and delicious dipping sauces. There was tableside mini stove to cook the beef, which seems like a gimmick. I think I would pretty just normal beef without the katsu layer. The kelp egg dipping sauce was nice but I actually like the sauces the set comes with more. The Cream Curry Udon was really thick and rich. The first few bites were amazing but I don't think I could have eaten a whole bowl of this by myself. Good thing we shared. Also I had to ask staff for a spoon. By the time I was able to wave someone down, I was mostly done with my meal. I feel like this dish should have came with spoons to begin with. Service was on the slow side. Considering they weren't that busy, I'm not sure why it was so hard to get some service. A training opportunity for management. A fun spot to try but I'm not sure it's a spot I would frequent.

Came here for lunch on Saturday and was seated right away. The restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. I ordered the pork cutlet which comes with a bowl of rice, miso soup, and coleslaw. The meat was tender, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. You also get a pretty big portion size for a decent cost. The waiters mostly leave you alone, but it's a nice quiet place to dine by yourself. They also have a variety of other items on the menu that I'd definitely want to come back to try!

Came here on Christmas Day for dinner and got seated away. I ordered one of my favorites here: snowy cheesy flakes gyukatsu. Love the melted cheese on top of the beef and the sauce is super flavorful (a little bit sweet and a little bit savory - hard to describe so you have to try it)! I also love that the crust of the beef is a little bit caramelized so it's a little crunchy! Love the texture! It also comes with cabbage salad, potato salad, miso soup, rice, and a side of radish. Super filling overall!There's a parking lot right next to the restaurant that is in a shared plaza.This place sometimes gets packed so if there's a line, just write your name down on the clipboard that's by the door.
