You can enjoy all-you-can-eat high-quality Kyoto vegetables for around 1600 yen in a buffet style. You can fry your own chicken nuggets and potatoes. The mini tomatoes in the salad corner are sweet like fruits, and my friends went back for seconds. You can also drink alcohol during the day. The impression of the vegetables lined up vertically on the left and right of the entrance door is striking. It is recommended to go there when you feel like eating vegetables. However, the staff seemed inexperienced and inefficient, like temporary part-time workers.

It's disappointing that there are few options available. I wish there were more choices like sukiyaki or heartier meat dishes. It would be nice to have more side dishes available. Having a variety of vegetables is a plus. The seats are a bit hard. The prices are affordable. They have a partnership with Shichijo Motor Pool. It's perfect for families. [Request] Takeout option.

I went on a weekday for lunch. The website stated that the weekday lunch was 1,100 yen, but it was actually 1,150 yen at the actual store. It is a buffet style with mainly Kyoto vegetables and side dishes. The Kyoto vegetables were fresh and the dressings were well thought out, which made it delicious. However, the other dishes were nothing special in taste. There were few dishes, some were missing, and the waiting time was long. It felt like they were being run by just one staff member. It might be a good choice if you want to eat mainly vegetables.

I chose the buffet option (1530 yen) where you can eat a variety of seasonal vegetables and rice. I'm not a big fan of meat, so I didn't order the sukiyaki. I thought the price for this buffet dinner was great.

There is a shop near the Kyoto Railway Museum. I visited after 1 PM on a weekday, and the place was empty, so you might be able to get in even before 12 PM. This place is perfect for people who love vegetables because you can eat all these different kinds of vegetables to your heart's content! They also have self-service options like potatoes and fried chicken, which are enjoyable.

The fried chicken was greasy. It was mentioned that double-frying would make it tastier, and indeed, it was better than the original. The vegetables were delicious. The french fries were average when double-fried. The option to season with salt according to preference was good. The drink bar was not included for a 3-year-old, costing 300 yen for a single apple juice. This was not good value for money. The rice was not tried, but my wife said it was disappointing. The all-you-can-drink alcohol option for around 1000 yen for four beers might be appealing for heavy drinkers. We had this meal after visiting the railway museum, as there were limited child-friendly options nearby. Overall, it was mainly carbohydrates that my son, who dislikes vegetables, could eat - rice (with furikake), french fries, and somen noodles. If there were corn, beans, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes, he might have eaten some vegetables. It's a personal opinion, but it may be suitable for vegetarians. Compared to the now-closed Mame no Hana at Kawashinoseguchi, I would rate it 1 star. Thank you for the meal.

This is "Tsunoyasai Kamo," a buffet restaurant specializing in Kyoto vegetables, located near Kyoto Station. I visited around 11 am on a weekday, right after opening. It was not too crowded, probably because it was a weekday. There were many families with children, possibly because Kyoto Aquarium is nearby. The restaurant is located near Umekoji Park, Kyoto Aquarium, close to a convenience store on Omiya Street. It may be easy to miss because of its small size, but you can spot it by its purple curtain. There is no parking lot, but they offer a one-hour free service at a nearby parking lot. The restaurant is on the second floor, accessible by stairs. They operate on a system where you first purchase a ticket from a machine. The lunch buffet costs 1000 yen (slightly increased) with an additional 300 yen for a drink bar. You can also add sukiyaki for an extra fee. The interior is simple with a cafeteria-style setting and a cozy atmosphere with tables and seats. The staff are polite and welcoming. On this day, I only ordered the 1000 yen lunch buffet. The buffet mainly consists of locally sourced vegetables and Japanese side dishes. There were few meat and fish options, with only pork and daikon ginger stew and fried chicken available. The fried chicken and potatoes are self-fried in the restaurant. The vegetables were fresh and abundant, with standard local produce and some unique items like "corrinkee" available that day. The dressings were mostly Kyoto-inspired, and I particularly enjoyed the sesame miso dressing for its rich miso flavor. Surprisingly, the cold udon noodles were delicious, with a self-service system where you boil and cool them down. The broth had a seafood flavor reminiscent of Kagawa, which I liked. The homemade potato salad was also satisfying with plenty of eggs. The hayashi curry was sweet and loaded with vegetables like potatoes, onions, and carrots, highlighting the flavor of the potatoes. The self-fried fried chicken and potatoes were enjoyable as they were crispy and hot. This restaurant is a good choice near Kyoto Aquarium, offering a reasonably priced and enjoyable dining experience. With a variety of vegetables and light, healthy meals, it's a great place to enjoy a satisfying meal.

*Lunch buffet for 950 yen. All-you-can-eat Kyoto vegetables and a wide variety of side dishes that all seem good for your health ☺️ I tend to lack vegetables in my diet, so I made sure to get plenty of vitamins! Once I realized it was all vegetables, it started to look healthy, and I ate until I was full ( "´༥`" )✨

This is a review of the buffet restaurant "Tsunosai Kamo" located near Kyoto Station, specializing in Kyoto vegetables. I visited the restaurant around 11 am on a weekday, just after it opened. There were only a few customers at the beginning, and it gradually got a bit busier but never too crowded. The restaurant is located near Umekoji Park and Kyoto Aquarium, right off Omiya Street. You can easily spot it by the purple curtain at the entrance, up the stairs. There is no parking lot at the restaurant, but they have a partnership with nearby parking lots offering 1 hour of free parking. The inside of the restaurant is cozy, with the buffet serving area on the right as you enter, and tables and tatami seating throughout. The atmosphere is casual but neat. The staff, although small in number, provided attentive service. The lunch buffet costs 950 yen on weekdays (980 yen on weekends and holidays), with an additional 300 yen for the drink bar. You can also opt for extras like sukiyaki and shabu-shabu at an additional cost. On this day, I only had the 950 yen lunch buffet. The buffet spread had a variety of vegetables, with many side dishes of traditional Japanese cuisine. The meat options were limited to nikujaga (meat and potato stew) and karaage (fried chicken). The karaage and potatoes are self-fried twice, so you always get them fresh and crispy. The vegetable selection included unique items like green and red core daikon radish, purple kohlrabi, and purple komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach). The two types of daikon radish had a crunchy texture that was very enjoyable. There were also dressings made with Kyoto specialties like white miso. Additionally, they offered a self-serve noodle station with a flavorful Japanese-style broth. The restaurant was not crowded on this day, which made the dining experience pleasant. I imagine it might get busier on weekends, especially with the self-frying system for karaage and potatoes. Overall, the small dishes were all tasty and had a healthy appeal. This location is convenient for those visiting Umekoji Park and offers affordable prices. I would consider revisiting if I am in the area on a weekday.

Located near the university, this restaurant offers mainly salads and side dishes. You purchase a meal ticket at the entrance and then start at the buffet. They serve fresh vegetables and gentle-tasting side dishes, all of which are delicious and good for your body. There is also a counter, making it easy for solo diners. It's fun to fry your own chicken karaage. Thank you for the meal.

Visiting before 11 am on a national holiday, there were no other customers. While waiting for the store to open, a few more people lined up behind. The store finally opened 8 minutes late with no explanation. Inside, I purchased a lunch buffet ticket from the ticket machine for 1000 yen. The price was different from what was listed on the website. The fried chicken and potatoes could be reheated in a machine, but they weren't crispy. There were several types of fresh vegetables, including some unusual ones. The selection of dressings was good, with several original options. There were a few side dishes, but the variety was limited. They also had curry and miso soup. The taste overall was just okay.

"Located near Kyoto Aquarium, 'Tsunowa Kamo' is a buffet-style restaurant where you can enjoy freshly picked vegetables in the morning that have been blessed by Kyoto's bounty. Lunch costs 950 yen and operates on a system where you buy a meal ticket in advance. The 'Field Bar' salad bar at Tsunowa Vegetables offers a variety of fresh vegetables. I was hoping for some unusual vegetables, but aside from mustard greens, the selection was pretty standard. However, the vegetables were fresh and delicious. There isn't a wide variety of side dishes, but they are subtly flavored and tasty. The DIY udon noodles were enjoyable, and the broth was delicious. The curry was also tasty. It was nice to have plenty of fresh vegetables to enjoy."

I had a buffet dinner (1,400 yen including tax) at night. The taste of the vegetables and dishes is good, but there are some operational issues that I think are causing a lack of customers (at least on weekday nights). The buffet includes a salad mainly made with locally grown Kyoto leafy vegetables, and side dishes. There is also a DIY mini hot pot, rice, miso soup, and curry. The vegetables, including spinach, mizuna, and komatsuna, are delicious. There are also some less common vegetables like kale, which adds a nice touch. The dressings, such as pickled dressing, complement the vegetables well. It would have been even better if there were red vegetables like cherry tomatoes. The side dishes are traditional Japanese dishes that are well-prepared and enjoyable. However, there are some issues with the buffet. There are often multiple items missing, and they are not replenished promptly. It's disappointing when you're excited to try different things but many items are missing. It's unclear if the lack of staff or cost-cutting is the reason for this. Additionally, the staff does not clean up or replenish the dishes promptly, and the buffet area can become messy. The rice in the warming pot is hard and not tasty. Overall, it seems like the operation and management are not well-executed. The system is also confusing. After purchasing a ticket from the vending machine, you are given a note that is supposed to be returned when leaving, but it's not clear why. The transparent sheet hanging in front of the side dish trays makes it difficult to reach the dishes at the back. Despite the good taste of the vegetables and dishes, I hope they improve their operations to fully utilize them.

This is a restaurant where you can enjoy Viking-style meals! First, you climb the stairs and buy a meal ticket, then present it to the staff. It is located near Kyoto Station, within walking distance, and right next to Kyoto Aquarium. The food mainly features organic, pesticide-free, and reduced-pesticide vegetables, which were fresh and delicious. The salads had homemade dressings that were flavorful. There were also solo male customers, so it seems suitable for a wide range of people. If asked if I would go again, I would say maybe 50%.笑

We visited around 12 o'clock with our family. We came from Osaka. It's located next to Mini Stop near Kyoto Aquarium. It's only 950 yen, which is cheap. Since it wasn't crowded, there was no time limit. The food was really delicious. The female staff was also very nice. Putting pink salt on the rice made it tasty. The small fried chicken for salad and fried onions were extremely delicious. Everything we tried was tasty. There was also all-you-can-eat vegetables!! The red and yellow bell peppers, pineapples, and purple komatsuna were delicious. There were about 4 types of dressings, all of which were tasty. We could eat a lot of vegetables that we don't usually eat, such as homemade mayonnaise and Kyoto turnip dressing. The tofu and chicken were also delicious. It was great to come here!! The wooden plates were also nice.

This restaurant offers delicious Kyoto vegetables and obanzai dishes. You can also make small pots to cook at your inn, which is fun. However, there were many cold dishes and as someone who gets cold easily, I wished there were more warm menu options. But for vegetable lovers, this restaurant is a very happy and delicious place!

500 yen for a morning buffet of Kyoto vegetables. I went around 9 am, just before 10 am when the morning service ends. It's conveniently located near Kyoto Station. You buy a meal ticket and hand it to the staff, then you can sit wherever you like. There are tables, seats, and a counter inside the small restaurant. It wasn't full, but there were quite a few people. They serve wooden plates and chopsticks, along with vegetables, highland tofu, natto, udo flowers, simmered daikon, and udon. The udon is soft noodles drained and served with broth, green onions, tempura crumbs, and shichimi spice. Instead of white rice, they offer a Japanese-style rice porridge. There's also miso soup, slightly thickened and flavorful. The vegetables are fresh from local farms, crunchy and delicious. Today's selection included mizuna, komatsuna, bean sprout namul, snow peas and seaweed, cucumber, and wasabi greens. They have various dressings like spicy mayonnaise, sesame miso, and tomato dressing. It's a great breakfast buffet where you can enjoy a lot of vegetables for a low price. The value for money is so good that I was surprised to see only one staff member managing the place. Thank you for the meal ☺︎

When I came to Kyoto, I found the restaurant my friend had decided to visit next to Mini Stop, with its distinctive purple noren curtain. As I entered through the purple curtain, a staircase led up to the entrance, with lanterns guiding the way at the foot of each step, adding to the excitement. Inside the restaurant, I first purchased a meal ticket. Just as I had heard, from 7:00 to 10:00, the buffet was only 500 yen including tax!!! (Closed on Mondays) What can you get for 500 yen? A buffet! So cheap! I was seated at a table, surrounded by decorations with a natural wood theme. The tableware, both small plates and deep dishes, had a gentle, rounded design, without sharp edges, made of wooden material. The food on offer included bread, rolled omelette, natto, okara, plain cereal, mizuna, mini white turnips, daikon radish, red faldar udon, miso soup, and rice porridge, among others. All were available for unlimited refills, which was delightful. The vegetables were fresh, with labels indicating the farm where they were grown. I enjoyed the texture of the fresh vegetables while eating the rolled omelette, flavored with Kyoto green onions and white miso, which was light and delicious. I had to stop myself from eating too much since it was an egg dish. After enjoying various refills, I felt full after having rice porridge and miso soup. It had been a while since I had such a satisfying meal that my body seemed to thank me throughout. Bathed in the morning sunlight that illuminated the restaurant, I replenished my energy for the day ahead. I definitely want to dine here again when I come to Kyoto! Thank you for the meal.

Luxurious Morning✨ For just one coin, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat fresh local vegetables, delicious rice, and homemade side dishes! The atmosphere inside the restaurant has an organic feel with plenty of natural light, making it very pleasant. They also offer porridge, miso soup, and bread, so it's a place that families can enjoy together. I would definitely want to go back when traveling or on a business trip! Women will surely be delighted ❤️ Highly recommended!
