Yataiya Karasuma Review Summary

Lovely Izakaya, prices are pretty good too! We needed a place open during the 3-5pm quiet hours and this place saved us from hunger. No one spoke English but ordering is via QR and google auto translate got us where we needed to be. No issues at all ordering food and it was all delicious.

Local izakaya with zero tourist so highly recommended! We went 6 of us and drank so much and ate so much but bill came a lot cheaper than what we imagined!

Food was good, fresh sashimi, yummy sake.

Authentic izakaya with self service QR code ordering. We happened in on a rainy day around 2pm when many other places were closed for lunch. The food was really well done, sashimi don was fresh and not too large, just the right size. Clam soup was amazing as were the fried yama imo. Yuzu sour was nice and refreshing. All in all a nice surprise.

We were coming back from a shop and was looking to get an afternoon snack. Heard some laughing and took a peak in... staff seated us and gave us an english menu.

We ordered butter garlic clams and a bunch of deep fried items... delicious and cheap. Felt great for the atmosphere.

Looks like a frequent local dive as even the staff spoke very little english... it just made it a better experience! Amazing for what it is!

Great Izakaya for nibbles and drinks. Service was very friendly for a limited English speaking restaurant.

Try the chicken cartilage bites and potato salad. For the skewers try the quail egg, prawn and the mochi ones.
