My fiancée and I visited the Fujimoto restaurant to celebrate our engagement in Kyoto on a Saturday night.
The atmosphere was great within the restaurant, the serving staff where really polite and took the time to talk to us and where honestly interested when we said we had just come back from Japan.
The food was really amazing and as they say in Osaka (I think) "めっちゃ美味しい" - Extremely delicious. The portion sizes where bigger than what we thought they where going to be and we ended up over ordering, but the food was so so good. I did ask for extra pickles to be added to the pork katsu curry and was told that wasn't a problem, the pork katsu and the curry was better than what I had previously in Tokyo. The prawn tempura/gyoza/yakitori and croquettes where all as delicious. Only thing that I would ask is if crab croquettes could be added on to the menu, but guess it isn't for simplicity. The serving staff did apologise to us about the wait for our food, which we was actually shocked about as the food came out quickly and at a decent rate, as in the food wasn't just thrown at us like some other restaurants do. Also there was Asahi Super Dry on tap, which went down a treat!
We really enjoyed our meal/time and we have found a new favourite restaurant. We are looking forward to our next visit, and have been raving about the food with our friends and family. The only real issue we had was that we wasn't sure if we should be ordering in English or Japanese? lol Attached picture is my tonkatsu curry.
I had such a lovely time eating at Fujimoto! The service and atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing :)
The food 100% complemented that fact. I had a lovely time overall and would 100% return in the future!
Had the pleasure of having a buffet Saturday night at the restaurant and Bentos boxes for lunch Sat and Sun.
Has to be some of the best food I have ever experienced.
Hygiene was perfect, the buffet dishes were not over filled and topped up regularly with Fresh.
I was made to feel very wanted and welcome in a warming environment.
Safe to say I will he returning and not by myself.
