This place has the rudest staff I have ever experienced in my life. We showed up at 5:40 for a 6-7pm seating and they held up a sign through the door saying they GAVE OUR TABLE AWAY. Staff locked the doors and shut the blinds like they were shunning criminals. They wouldn’t even speak to us. I have never been treated with such disrespect. You couldn’t pay me to go to this joke of an establishment.

I don’t know, I didn’t have any expectations, so that’s why I was satisfied probably. I see many people are not glad with their visit, but for me, it was right as it should be-rice and omelette. The main issue here is that the only way to visit is by booking it, and booking opens twice a day only for half an hour -and booking is available only for that actual day.. and after like 10 to 15 seconds all times slots are gone.. that’s really distressing, but there is a way to raise up your chances in booking-you just have to try booking, fail, and think about it. Artistic cooking by the chef Motokichi Yukimura and his perfected skill in an omelette preparation are the main reasons for the visit. The actual dish is quite cheap, as well as any other dishes served in the restaurant(by the way, tasty as well), so the main issue is booking a table. Omelette itself was perfect. Recommend

For living in Japan for nearly a decade, this place has the worst customer service. First their reservation system is garbage as no kidding went through the whole process only for the site to crash when I submitted everything. Then they don’t respond to phone calls or return messages. When I get there before it opens, they didn’t try to rectify the situation and just tell us to wait only to be standing around for many hours and still not e. This is by far the worst customer service that I’ve experienced anywhere in this country from Okinawa to Hokkaido.

I was victim of social media influence like many others. Overpriced omelette with rice. Tedious and silly booking practice, staff has no care for guest comfort and satisfaction. Don't waste your time it's just a creamy omelette you can find easy in any city. The man show is fun only if you like the circus.

I want to express my utmost disappointment and frustration with the service and disrespectful treatment I experienced at this establishment. There have been a series of dishonest, arrogant, and venal practices. I decided to give this place a second chance, accompanied by a visiting friend who was eager to try the renowned spot. Already in the previous visit I wasn't left impressed by this overpriced omelette, but I was willing to overlook it as my friend really wanted to try, victim like me of the socials influence. I made a reservation for 5 pm. However, upon arriving at 4:50 pm, I was shocked to discover that my seats had been carelessly given away. To my disbelief, there were no calls, emails, or attempts to contact me regarding this unfortunate turn of events. The reasoning behind this absurd decision was even more perplexing. Apparently, one must arrive 20 minutes prior to the booking time and line up. Considering the fact that I arrived before the first seating at 5 pm, when the restaurant wasn't even officially open, I fail to comprehend how my reservation was canceled in favor of random passersby on the street. I had organized our day around this reservation, only to be met with sheer incompetence and disregard for customer satisfaction. If they are so inclined to give away my seat, then do so at 5:01 pm when I would genuinely be considered late for my booking. Alternatively, why not request a booking time of 4:40 pm? I would have gladly complied and arrived accordingly. Your insistence on customers arriving 20 minutes early to avoid lateness is reasonable, but it should never serve as a basis for canceling a reservation when the customer is not technically late on his booking. Such a policy is both ludicrous and arrogant, clearly demonstrating your lack of concern for patrons. It deeply saddens me to witness such a blatant disregard for the honorable and respectful principles that Japan is renowned for. I wish your establishment did not represent the image of your country, as it tarnishes the reputation of Japanese hospitality. Allow me to provide a valuable service to potential customers seeking cheaper and superior alternatives to this establishment for omurice in Kyoto: 1) Kyoto Grill Kodakara 2) Hokkyokusei Gion 3) fu-ka 4) katoriina omurice Rest assured, these establishments offer exquisite dining experiences that far surpass the mediocrity I encountered at this restaurant. Not only will you find their dishes more satisfying, but you will also be spared the indignity of dealing with this establishment's unprofessionalism.

The staff is very rude and can ruin your evening. there was a sign saying restaurant is full we walked in just to ask for information and one of the staff told us get out!!!!! the restaurant is full!!!! make reservation online!!!! Very rude and unprofessional we told her that we were just looking for information and that we tried calling and making reservations online but no body answers the phone and their website doesn’t work. I m not sure if they know that customers are who make them popular, but In my personal and humble opinion they don t have any clue how to look them after. Maybe, it’s a good opportunity to give them low rate and learning how to treat customers. Will take are business some were else. Kyoto it is a fantastic city where they are many other good places to enjoy.

Made the reservation as soon as the time slot was available and was really looking forward to it. The kids were excited too because they could finally meet the “egg chef” they saw in video in person. The confirmation email said to be there on time or call them if we are about to be late so that they can keep the seats for us. The traffic was bad that day and I realized that we will be late, so I called the restaurant trying to tell them that we might be late for 10 minutes but no one picked up the phone, I left a message telling them the situation. By the time we got there what we got was the chef yelling at me and my kids, extremely rudely, to get out; even if we told him we got a reservation he still kept saying “out! out! out!” Then the staff showed up and told us our reservation was cancelled because we were late. I tried to explain to them that I called them, according to what they told me in the confirmation email, they simply said they were too busy to pick up the phone. This is ridiculous to hear that a restaurant can’t even keep up with its own policy! They later offer us a table in the corner but you can’t see anything from the kitchen, by that time I lost all the appetite and felt disgusted, hearing the chef’s signature cheering sound in the kitchen, and imagine just a few minutes ago he acted as a complete different person, rude and arrogant, even in front of kids ( this upsets me the most, he screamed in front of my kids, even though they just wanted to get into a restaurant we made a reservation at). We refused their offer and found other restaurant to eat. Anyway lesson learned, we will never go back to that restaurant and hope other people read the review won’t fall for the same trap. If you really need to see him cooking, watching a video will be more than enough.
