A few years ago, I had never been to this place since its renewal, but this time when I entered the restaurant, I was surprised! It had been reborn into a bright and spacious space with a Japanese garden feel. There were several reasonably priced lunch sets available, and you could even add extra meat, which was very satisfying. Of course, when it comes to Tempura, the clear dipping sauce is a must, right? This time, for my husband's birthday, we ordered the premium pork loin set.

I made a reservation and visited for the first time. It was lunch time, but they only had a la carte menu that day due to the obon holiday. It took some time to park the car in the restaurant's garage. The interior of the restaurant had a luxurious feel compared to other yakiniku restaurants in town. There were private rooms available, and the conversations from the private rooms did not leak out. We ordered several types of meat, chishanai, rice, and chige soup. Even the small serving of rice was more than enough for one person. The meat was tender, and my partner particularly enjoyed the loin. I ordered the tongue, and I was pleased that it came with negi shio or as a side. The special chige soup was not spicy at all, and it had a subtle taste of cod, silk tofu, clams, and a hint of miso with a Japanese flavor. We only stayed for about 20 minutes, but it was a satisfying lunch experience.

The lunch menu is quite a good deal. I visited on 10th July 2023 and would rate it 5 out of 5. Taste ★★★★★, Presentation ★★★★, Cost performance ★★★★, Customer service ★★★★★, Environment ★★★★. I had the Misuji set for 2700 yen and it was very delicious. Not only the taste, but the beautiful and spacious interior, along with the excellent customer service from the staff, made it a wonderful time. Thank you for the meal.

There are private rooms as well as table seats, making it convenient for large groups, families, and friends. For lunch, I recommend the special prime rib lunch. The meat is really delicious, you can get free rice refills, and a drink is included after the meal. In the evening, in addition to meat, side dishes such as cold noodles, bibimbap, and soup are also delicious, and you may end up ordering a lot and it can get expensive. If you want to eat delicious food at a reasonable price, I recommend going for lunch!

I visited Yakiniku Tendan in Kyoto Katsura! They have a spacious parking lot, so I always go by car. The interior of the restaurant is very spacious and has a traditional Japanese atmosphere. You take off your shoes at the entrance and the floor is a mix of tatami and other materials, creating a very calming atmosphere. They have private table seats and regular table seats, as well as a large banquet hall. The menu items I ordered today were Yukke for 1540 yen, Salted Tongue for 1980 yen, Thick-cut Salted Tongue for 2640 yen, Angel Shrimp for 1100 yen, Tendan Sirloin for 1650 yen, and Techan for 935 yen. While the location is not particularly convenient, the restaurant is always busy. It's recommended to make a reservation, especially during lunch or dinner time. The meat is very juicy and delicious, and the portion size is generous, so you can try a variety of options. When I go with friends, we always order Yukke for each person. Otherwise, we usually share different dishes. Thank you for the meal!

I had heard that private rooms were good, but even though I made a reservation two weeks ago, a private room was not available. The interior of the restaurant was very clean, and the table seats were spacious and comfortable. The staff provided good service, changing the grill, recommending menu items, and being attentive. The prices were not cheap overall, but the taste of the meat was worth it. I recommend the Omi beef chuck flap, which had a nice distribution of fat and was delicious. The Omi beef chuck, which was 100 yen cheaper, had a slightly tougher texture, so I recommend the chuck flap. The misuji had a soft and gentle flavor. The kimchi was average, and personally, I found it to be okay. The namul was also delicious. I ordered the tongue with sauce and salt, and surprisingly, the sauce was good and seemed addictive. The meat was tender and tasty. The yukhoe was average. I felt that it lacked the richness of meat flavor. The drinks were served in thin and small glasses, which felt a bit disappointing (lol). Overall, the cost performance is not great, but if you want to eat consistently delicious meat, this place is not bad.

The interior of the restaurant had a luxurious feel like a Japanese garden. The restroom had automatic doors and the individual stalls were well-maintained, allowing for a relaxing dining experience with family or a group. The optional spicy sauce for an additional 50 yen was a nice touch. However, the cold noodles were disappointing as the noodles lacked firmness. The pork loin was delicious and went well with rice. The skirt steak was light, while the short ribs had a mix of tender and tough pieces.

I entered the restaurant a little after 11:30. I liked the Kitayama branch, so I revisited this branch. I ordered the same Kalbi lunch set for 1400 yen as the Kitayama branch, and also added Tongue for 550 yen (4 small pieces). Here are the differences between this branch and the Kitayama branch: 1. Price (about 100 yen cheaper here) 2. Salad is made with salad greens instead of lettuce. 3. Different dressing for the salad (sesame dressing this time) 4. The quality of the meat is lower (more fatty and chewy) 5. The drink is included, but the soup was also lukewarm. I would prefer a hotter soup. Even though it's 100 yen cheaper and comes with a drink, if the quality of the meat is lower, I prefer the Kitayama branch. Also, it was nice to take off my shoes and feel the heated floor, but the restroom... Some of the restroom stalls had slippers with a lot of water on them, which was a bit off-putting. Personally, I prefer the Kitayama branch.

It was a Sunday and the restaurant was quite crowded! We waited for about an hour and a half! It's a popular place! Since we had a child with us that day, we got a private room! Eating in a private room was nice because we could eat slowly and the atmosphere was good! When we ordered, there were two adults and one child (2 years old), so we ordered one serving of each meat! Even though we ordered Tan Shio, the Tan Shio came after two sauce meats, kimchi, and bibimbap... Usually, salt-based items are served first, right? The white cabbage kimchi was mostly stems. Haha. The bibimbap had too much food!! We shared it among the three of us, including the child, and it was a sufficient amount◎ I might prefer the lunch menu at Tendan over dinner♩

There were quite a few people who had reserved the Tian Tan Chige lunch for 1,100 yen, and I was surprised to see it so busy during lunchtime. The Tian Tan Chige soup was delicious, with a smooth and strong umami flavor and a slightly spicy taste. The mild spiciness of the Kimchi and the non-aggressive seasoning of the other side dishes reminded me of a yakiniku restaurant near Gion in Kyoto. I didn't get full, but I enjoyed trying something a little different and experiencing the atmosphere of Tian Tan. It was satisfying. Thank you for the meal.

Second time at Tiantan. I like the unique sauce here, a bit tangy. I ordered a lot due to exhaustion and ate a lot. Arugula salad, kimchi assortment, yukhoe, kalbi, ichibo steak, mille-feuille roast, and white rice. Too full. The ichibo steak was dry, and I wished the jeon was crispier, but overall it was decently tasty. The salad was limp, so-so. The yukhoe was fresh and maybe the most delicious. Tiantan has tatami flooring, bright interior, and a touch of luxury, pleasantly surprising for a spur-of-the-moment visit.

I felt like having the dessert plate I had when I encouraged a new employee before, with the apple pie, grapefruit compote, and premium vanilla that the manager recommended. So, I casually dropped by on my day off. I was seated in a cozy spot with a bit of privacy, while still being able to enjoy the open feeling of the small garden outside. I savored the Mille-feuille rose for lunch, and ended with an iced coffee and the dessert plate I mentioned earlier. Ah, this apple pie with premium vanilla, and hey? Last time it was just the grapefruit compote, but today it seems to have something extra. Maybe lychee and raspberry? Whether today was a win or last time was a loss, it doesn't matter. It's raining all day today, so I spent a leisurely day enjoying delicious food.

We encouraged the young members here. We were given a private room, and enjoyed Milfeuille roast and the manager's recommended dessert plate in a clean room. We were also given a spicy sauce as a souvenir. Everyone was delighted, saying "It's my first time trying yakiniku dipped in sauce" and "It's my first time having such a delicious apple pie." Now that we've enjoyed delicious meat, let's work hard together!

I came after a long time! I was greeted from the parking lot and I always think the customer service is polite! On this day, I ordered the lunch set for 1400 yen and also ordered teppanyaki separately! The meat was delicious and the side dishes (salad, small dishes, etc.) and drink that came with it at this price are cheap! However, the teppanyaki I ordered in addition to the lunch set menu was more delicious!

I visited the Ten-dan in Upper Katsura for the first time in a few years, and I was impressed by the new atmosphere with flowing water, bamboo, and tatami mats inside the restaurant. The meat was indeed delicious, but some cuts like the thick tongue were tough. Unfortunately, the service and customer service from the staff were lacking compared to other restaurants. Despite these shortcomings, I still like this restaurant and hope they will improve in the future.

It's been a while since I ate at a restaurant ☻♬ The restaurant itself used to be a place I frequented in the past, but I hadn't been since it was renovated, so it was a first for me as an adult ♬ ▪️Sirloin Steak The meat was tender with just the right amount of fat, and it made me crave for some white rice ♬ ▪️Mille-Feuille Ichibo I thought it might be thick because it's mille-feuille, but the thinly sliced meat was layered to create three layers. It was cooked while still stacked, so the thickness was just right, and since there was little fat, it was light and easy to eat ◎ ▪️Salted Tongue I love salted tongue, so I ordered without hesitation ❤︎ Since I was there, I ordered both types. Both were delicious ◎ Of course, when compared, the higher quality one was far superior ◎ Since the price difference wasn't that big, next time I come, I'll just order the higher quality one ☻♬ ▪️Upper Minohormone I'm not a big fan of upper minohormone, but I want to try various things since I'm here, so I ordered it ♬ It had a good chewy texture and was delicious ◎ ▪️Yukhoe It had been a while since I had yukhoe ◎ The amount was just right and the seasoning was perfect ◎ ▪️Stone Pot Bibimbap The flavor was light and refreshing ☻ You could add sesame oil according to your preference, making it even lighter ☻ ▪️Choregi Salad I chose a salad that I don't usually eat ♬ I was worried about the spiciness, but it was totally fine ◎ It had an olive-based dressing, so it was light ☻ ▪️Homemade Creme Brulee (limited quantity) Even though I was full, I ordered a dessert to finish off the meal ♬ I was drawn to it because it was limited quantity and homemade ♬ It had raspberries on top, which personally I didn't think was necessary, but the creme brulee itself was delicious ◎ The service from the waitstaff who took the orders and brought the dishes wasn't the best, but the meat was delicious, and I would like to come back to eat again ♬

I ordered the Mille-Feuille Roast for 1705 yen based on recommendations. I avoided the cheapest roast. There were three layers of roast meat stacked on top of each other, and you get three sets of that. The meat alone may not fill you up, but there are side dishes and the atmosphere is relaxed, so you will feel satisfied. After the meal, you get a choice of coffee or tea. The space has clean tatami flooring where you can take off your shoes. It's not a private room, but you won't be bothered by the surroundings too much. However, you might find it a bit distracting when customers and staff walk by frequently to go to the cashier. The taste was delicious, although it relies heavily on the sauce, the meat was tender and tasty.

It was my birthday so my family visited the restaurant together. Since it was a weekday and after 9 pm, the restaurant was not very crowded, which worked out in our favor as we were given a private room that was almost too big for just the two of us! The first surprise was that the entire floor was covered in tatami mats, with bamboo growing in the middle of the floor. Even the toilet was covered in tatami mats, which was quite surprising. The meat was decent and not necessarily the best value for money, but it was delicious. Since it was my birthday, they also gave us a complimentary dessert at the end. I would like to visit again in the future. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the popular Tendan restaurant's Katsura Gojo branch! The building looked a bit shabby from the east side of Gojo Street, but it was actually quite impressive when viewed from the front. It was crowded on a Sunday evening, with many families with children. The atmosphere was not as loud as I expected, especially for larger groups who were seated in private rooms with sliding doors. My favorite menu items at Tendan are the beef loin and Sol-Lontan soup. The beef loin melts in your mouth without being too oily, and the thin slices make it easy to eat. I also tried the "Kakuyahime" sake recommended by the staff, which was dry and easy to drink. Overall, I was satisfied with the food and drinks, ending the meal with the flavorful Sol-Lontan soup.

It's no wonder this place is so well-known with branches everywhere! In the past, yakiniku used to have a high-class image, but now it feels more affordable. There are so many menu options to choose from, so you can really enjoy a variety of dishes! The meat is definitely delicious! It's not about the extravagant cuts of meat you find at high-end restaurants, but rather a consistent and tasty experience! The atmosphere is not too noisy, so it's a nice place to relax! This restaurant definitely lived up to my expectations! Thank you for the meal!
