Umekoji KollaBo

We choose this place strictly off TripAdvisor reviews, and we were not disappointed by anything but the timing of the entrees, as mine came out well after the others in my group were nearly finished, to include someone who had the confit. Regardless, appetizers, salads, and mains (chicken confit, ...two steaks, and the piscatory) were all simply delicious, so I’ll give a pass on the timing. Nice place, comfortable, nice jazz playing, friendly staff. If I lived here it’d be a regular stomp.

We went with 3 kids (age 5 to 12), enjoyed our lunch there. A good place to eat in between visits of the Train Museum and Kyoto Aquarium and the Park. When we went on a weekend, there was a bazaar or weekend market near the park, selling small handicrafts, bakery and other things.

Nice place for dinner. The food and the place were awesome. Perfect to go with kids. Good option if you go to Kyoto.

I don't like to write a negative type review, but I felt I needed to in this instance. We decided to eat an early lunch here before taking the children onto the Kyoto Railway Museum (which is really great by the way and wonderful for children). I was feeling great and the place looked nice with a de...cent selection for lunch. We ordered three adult meals one of which the children were going to share (Karage) and my wife had the hamburger steak, while I went for their Ross steak (150gram). When the waitress took our order I requested it be done medium. About 10 minutes later she came back to us and said that they cannot cook the steak to that kind of specification as it is all pre cooked. This raised a red flag but I choose to ignore it as it was way too late to now change restaurants. When it arrived it looked nice but when I took my first bite it was luke warm but tasted fine and I was more concerned about the kids getting fed with their food. Fortunately I only shared my steak with my wife who only had one small piece. Thank goodness I did not give the kids any which I normally do! All the meals were nice and so I have no complaints, however on finishing the meal I started to feel a bit strange and by the time we had walked to the museum (5 minutes away) my stomach was bloated and very uncomfortable. It steadily got worse but I hung in there for the kids and their day out. Very very fortunately I did not need any emergency visits to the bathroom. By the time we got back home I had a temperature and chills. My wife too was not feeling great but as she had only had a small piece and the effects were far less. I may have just gotten a bad piece of steak but I hope the restaurant will take steps to remedy any hygiene problems it may have in the kitchen and storage of pre cooked steak. The restaurant seemed very popular and was turning away people at one point as they were full so I am guessing my situation is a once off. I sincerely hope so. I have given it an average due to my poor experience.
