Kushiya Monogatari - Kyoto

Everything you can eat. The staff was very friendly. Great place in the Yodobashi camera building in Kyoto.

This is the Kushikatsu buffer restaurant. Most customers are teenagers. Buffer price is 2500 yen for 90 minutes. Customers pick up the kushi items then making their own kushikatsu at the table deep fried pan. Many basic kushi items are available. There are 6 kushikatsu sauces . Also, rice, noodles, fruits and desserts are in buffer lines.

The restaurant allowed customers to deep fry their own food and eat with sauce. This allowed for some error to be had when cooking the food, which ultimately lead to some overcooking and disfunction. The sauces provided had some great tasting elements with the right combination of cheeses and spring onions. The offering provided a decent selection of food to be deep-fried. Unfortunately, the restaurant was outdated and uncomfortable. Overall, the restaurant left me feeling ill.

Filling. Quite an interesting experience to fry your own kushikatsu. Just select from the buffet, coat, and dunk. Might be a good experience for kids, though you might have to be careful with the hot oil. Food quality was not so good so go for the experience. Lunch time was ¥1700 for buffet and an extra ¥200 for drink bar.

Fun experience, but I didn't feel it was worth the price. Food was alright, though the matcha-chocolate fountain was neat (and delicious! .
