Ootoya - Food!

Restaurant Ootoya!

This will be the first food review of a restaurant in Japan. Until now I have eaten the most delicious food, but considering most of it has been of the fast food or cafeteria type I've decided not to bring those up unless they are exceptionally tasty.

Restaurant 大戸屋, Ootoya , is located near the river Sanjo and the road of kuwaramachidori. It is on google maps if you search for Ootoya, kyoto.

The restaurant is small but the staff are friendly and the food is excellent. Ordering food is a piece of cake because they have a picture based menu, a picture based and English menu and from what I've seen, 2 staff members that speak good English. I have been 2 times and have been surprised at how busy the restaurant was but that must be a good sign I suppose? It is slightly noisy though.

The food is about 700 yen (100 SEK) for a meal, that includes meat and rice and miso soup and if you order soft drinks it is all you can drink. I have had the ton katsu (fried pork) and chicken katsu (fried chicken) and have enjoyed both meals.
