Located just a 2-minute walk from Hankyu Karasuma Station, this chain restaurant specializes in yakiniku buffets in Kyoto and surrounding areas. I had a yakiniku lunch at Chifaja after a long time. The Karasuma Bukkoji branch has a modern exterior and private rooms. Upon entering, a large wooden eagle greets you, along with two suits of armor, creating a solemn atmosphere. I had a solo yakiniku experience in a luxurious private room where I could take photos without worrying about others. [Order] - Umakarubi set 100g (¥600) - Chifaja Tan 40g (¥220) - Domestic MIX Hormone 40g (¥270) * Set includes rice, soup, and salad * Rice can be upsized for free I was tempted by the Manpuku set and Pine Beef, but I went with the cheapest Karubi lunch and added individual items. [Yakiniku Lunch] Cook your own meat on the shichirin grill. Since it's an all-you-can-eat place at a reasonable price, I didn't expect top-quality meat. The Karubi and Tan were thin, but they tasted great when eaten with rice. The Karubi comes with a choice of miso sauce, soy sauce, or salt, which was a nice touch. The domestic MIX hormone, with my favorite senmai included, had a fantastic texture. To finish, I left a bit of rice and added egg soup, creating a Karubi kupp. I left feeling full and satisfied. [Summary] Chifaja is a well-known yakiniku chain in Kyoto. It was my first visit to the Karasuma Bukkoji branch, and the private rooms allowed for a relaxed yakiniku experience. The female staff were friendly and attentive. They open at 11 am, and their lunch buffet for 2200 yen is great value for money. Check out my Instagram @moritapan7 for videos!

We visited our favorite yakiniku restaurant with our family for the first time in three years, only to find out that it had closed down. It was disappointing because they always served good quality meat. It was 7:30 PM, so we decided to try a nearby izakaya instead. They had a wide variety of side dishes and dessert options, which was great for our kids who love to eat a lot. However, since there was a time limit, we felt rushed and couldn't enjoy our meal leisurely while chatting. We were so focused on the meat being grilled and the menu that we forgot to take photos after the first dish. We left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

Today's work was also in Shijo Karasuma. It's the rainy season, isn't it? The rain was drizzling, and for lunch, I went to Chifaja, a yakiniku restaurant in Kyoto. It was my first time there. The interior of the restaurant was amazing, with armor and eagle statues welcoming you. Even though I was alone, I was led to a private room with a sunken hearth, which made me a bit nervous. I ordered the delicious Kalbi lunch set with 200g of meat, and opted for extra rice. The set included rice, Kalbi, salad, and soup, all for less than 1000 yen. The Kalbi was thinly sliced and cooked with a strong ginger-flavored sauce and a light sauce. Personally, I preferred the light sauce. The salad had yuzu dressing, and the soup was full of vegetables. The freshly cooked rice was also delicious. Sometimes, having a yakiniku lunch like this is a good idea. It was a great meal. #AuthenticYakinikuChifaja Karasuma Bukkoji Store #DeliciousKalbiLunch #AtmosphericYakinikuRestaurant #Gourmet #GourmetInstagram #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #WantToConnectWithYakinikuLovers #AffordableLunchSet #YakinikuInstagram #WantToConnectWithKalbiLovers #InstagramWorthyYakinikuRestaurant #DeliciousYakiniku #PhotoYakiniku #WantToConnectWithExtraRiceLovers #KyotoCity #KyotoGourmet #KyotoStation #InnovatingMachiya #KyotoPrefectureGourmet #FreeExtraRice #Japan #Kyoto #Gourmet #JapaneseFood #AcceptsPayPay

Chifaja is a chain of authentic yakiniku restaurants located in the center of Kyoto city. Among them, the Fuko-ji Temple branch and Kyoto Station branch serve charcoal-grilled yakiniku. The Fuko-ji Temple branch offers private rooms for a calm dining experience, making it especially recommended for women dining alone or in groups. If you're looking for a quick and affordable meal, they offer set meals starting from 600 yen. However, if you want to eat to your heart's content, during lunchtime they have a "Gyukore Demo Ka Lunch" for 1540 yen (tax included) where you can enjoy unlimited servings of beef, pork, chicken, salad, soup, and rice for 100 minutes. You can also enjoy a variety of condiments like fried garlic, grated garlic, puccochi, chopped green onions, wasabi, and samjang for free. For those who are particular about their meat, they also offer Pine Beef, which is raised on pineapple dregs-fed black wagyu cattle. The "Excellent Course" for 4380 yen (tax included) allows you to enjoy this premium meat in an all-you-can-eat style, so you can choose a course based on your budget. The sauces available include sukiyaki sauce, lemon juice, and soy sauce, but you can also request grated ponzu or salted ponzu, both of which are delicious and allow you to customize your dining experience. This level of customization is rare in other yakiniku restaurants, making this place a great value for money. During lunchtime, they also offer a "Lunch Buffet Course" for 2200 yen (tax included) where you can enjoy side dishes like kimchi unlimitedly, so you can choose according to your budget. Lastly, by downloading the restaurant's app, you can collect stamps with each visit and receive special rewards when you fill up your stamp card, making it a great deal.

After several years, I visited Chifaja for lunch. The staff were very kind and guided me well. The entrance was spacious, and when I took off my shoes and entered the restaurant, I saw several private rooms that could accommodate up to 5 people each. I sat in a sunken kotatsu-style seating area. There is also a second floor! I was impressed by the brown-themed logo chopstick holders and checkered hand towels, which are the restaurant's colors. I ordered the Chifaja Rosu with extra special Harami. It came with salad and plenty of egg soup, which was much appreciated. There were also two types of sauces to enjoy. The thinly sliced pork shoulder cooks quite quickly on the grill, so you need to be careful. It's great that you can enjoy authentic yakiniku at such a reasonable price! I thought the portion of rice in the set was a bit too much, but when eaten with the meat, it was just right.

I heard that this place is a rare charcoal-grilled yakiniku restaurant in the Chifaja series, so I came to try it out! When entering through the entrance decorated with furnishings, I was led to a private room - even though I was alone, I was seated in a room meant for six people. I ordered the Prime Kalbi Set (100g for 600 yen) and Chifaja Tan (40g for 220 yen), totaling 820 yen. What a great deal for two types of meat! The portion was surprisingly generous - 8 pieces for 100g! When grilled, the flames from the charcoal were amazing! It felt luxurious to have all this for myself. The taste was excellent, especially the Prime Kalbi. The Tan was also tender and delicious. It was fun to enjoy two different types of meat, and the total portion of 140g was just right for me. They also offer a "Mampuku Set" which includes Prime Kalbi, Pork Kalbi, and Pork Loin (100g each, total of 300g for 1320 yen). You can choose between miso, soy sauce, or salt for the Kalbi. They also offer a choice of large, medium, or small rice portion. The best part is that all the rooms are private, so even solo female diners can enjoy yakiniku without feeling embarrassed. They have wifi, so you can relax and enjoy your meal. Lunch is available on weekdays from 11:00-15:00 (last order at 14:00), and dinner is served from 17:00-1:00 (last order at 12:30). They have 20 private rooms for 6-8 people each, and there is also a third floor.

I happened to stop by this yakiniku restaurant for lunch, which I found by chance while passing by. The lunch set was surprisingly priced at "starting from 550 yen including tax", so I couldn't resist checking out the menu. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I noticed the rock-style wall paintings by the artist Kiyan, also known as Hideki Kimura, whom I had encountered at other places like "Momonare" and "Gokou no Toraji". The seat I was guided to was a private room with a table for 6 people. The room was decorated with Kimura's paintings as well. The menu offered a variety of lunch sets at incredibly reasonable prices. I decided to order the "Chifajarose set 100g (770 yen including tax)". The set came with three dipping sauces, pork loin, rice, soup, and salad. Despite ordering only 100g of meat, the portion was quite generous. The meal was well-balanced with plenty of soup and salad. I enjoyed grilling the meat in the private room, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Although it may no longer be open for lunch, I was satisfied with the quality of the food. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

During the state of emergency, I visited this restaurant for lunch. All seats were private rooms, which was a very thoughtful consideration in these times. I had the Kalbi 100g for 550 yen and Pine Beef 50g for 480 yen. The meal came with rice, salad, and soup, all for this price... The sauce could be chosen from soy sauce or miso, and the miso was slightly sweet. The quality of the meat was so delicious at this price, I wondered if it was okay to eat something this good! The staff's attentiveness was also wonderful, and I definitely want to visit again. The interior of the restaurant had a mysterious atmosphere with paintings on the walls and ornaments placed around. Thank you for the meal.

I used it for a closing party at work. I ordered the Excellent course which was all-you-can-eat, so it was okay. The staff's service was good. However, the service was a bit slow, and ordering from smartphones meant that the same item was ordered from each table individually, causing some issues like our orders being delivered to a different table. They also had unlimited soft drinks, making it easy for non-drinkers to use, so I think it's good for group use.

The all-you-can-eat deal is great, the portion size per person is satisfying. The kalbi is delicious, please give it a try!

I had a great time with fun friends, eating and drinking to my heart's content! All-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink. This place is a prime example of a reasonable restaurant!

I am interested in both high-end and affordable courses at restaurants. Even the cheaper options may be good. I think black-haired beef is delicious. I like thick-cut tongue and black-haired beef wrapped in green onions. It was tough feeling like the time was short - I wanted to eat more. I really tried a variety of dishes.

Today was a welcome party for a new member of the management team. We enjoyed delicious meat and had a fun time together. The meat here is truly the best! Thank you for the feast! It was also fun to be able to pour the drinks myself!

I have recently been obsessed with yakiniku. This time, I visited the Chifaja Karasuma Bukkoji store. It was a Kyoto-style restaurant with a slightly luxurious feel. I enjoyed the Light Course for 2300 yen. I had delicious kalbi, loin, squid, grilled vegetables, and more. Vegetables are expensive right now, so it was a treat. It was very delicious to add the grilled meat to the kimchi bibimbap. For dessert, we had soft serve ice cream, yuzu sherbet, and choux ice cream. Thank you for the meal. I would love to go again.

The exterior of the store has a luxurious feel with a hawk statue welcoming guests. The time management is relatively strict. The Light Course costs 2,484 yen. Plus, unlimited soft drinks are 410 yen, and unlimited drinks including alcohol are 1,058 yen. With a total order of 6,430 yen, the dining time is 70 minutes and the departure time is 90 minutes. There are 52 items available for ordering, which is sufficient in terms of fullness. Both the meat dishes and vegetable salads are satisfying in terms of portion size. There are 3 types of sauces and a unique sloped plate that prevents food from sticking. However, 90 minutes pass by quickly (laughs).

I want to satisfy my meat cravings with cheap meat! This is the place to go. You can enjoy various types of meat at a reasonable price and feel satisfied. This restaurant stands out from other yakiniku places with its luxurious interior. A large wooden bear greets you at the entrance. The individual private rooms are spacious, with wall paintings by the artist Kiyann. We ordered the standard course for 2800 yen (excluding tax). They now offer 7 different sauces, which added a fun twist to the meal. The garlic and ponzu sauces were particularly delicious. The staff were energetic and provided quick service. The Chorogi salad was a bit too strong in flavor for my taste. We ended the meal with soft serve ice cream, which was fantastic. They offer a variety of ice cream flavors, and I recommend trying at least two. Overall, it's a delicious restaurant in every sense.

I went to a farewell party with my part-time job colleagues. There were about 8 of us. We chose the all-you-can-eat course at this kind of restaurant for our small gathering. We were seated at a large table where everyone could fit, but unfortunately, it was the only table near the entrance, making us feel a bit isolated. It would have been nice if they had at least said something like "We apologize for seating you near the entrance" since we had made the reservation early. As for the food, the meat was fine as expected at this type of restaurant, but the problem was that the grill's heat was too weak. It was understandable for a group of 4, but when we put meat on the grill, it cooled down too much and the meat wouldn't cook properly. Even though it was all-you-can-eat, we couldn't eat as much as we wanted, and everyone's mood was affected. It might be for easy cleanup and other reasons, but I thought this was unacceptable.
