Pound Kyoto Ekimae

We didn't realise it was a cook your own meat style meal...the 5 selection of kobe beef was average, no side's veg or anything, I think if you know what to order you can have a nice meal here, all the locals seem to order everything but the kobe beef, I would be tempted to go somewhere it's cooked for you, as we had no clue the best way to cook it or what to have it with etc

SCAM. Pictures are showing the meat pieces for each dish but our plates werent including the same number than on the pictures. The waiter said the meat is paid by "grams" but nowhere is written the number of grams or even that it is the way the restaurant works. Funny for a restaurant named "Pounds". Hence we had 5 small pieces of Kobe beef instead of 6. Of course the price will remain same.We ordered 3 dishes of meat by showing the pictures because the staff doesnt speak english. 1 dish has been forgotten...Also we ordered and pointed at a white wine bottle on the menu... and got a red wine bottle.Besides, the meat is good. Even though the price is verrrrry high for the value. 140 yen for 4 and I am starving!!!Wont recommend this place as I am sure you can find a better deal somewhere else.

The food quality was actually pretty good, but not enough to justify the high price. Additionally they didn't bring a few items we ordered, even one that we re-ordered twice (a simple bow of rice). Luckily we spotted those items still being charged on the final bill (might be a challenge if you don't read Japanese) and got the removed from it.
