in the last weekThe owner was a terrific and the food was amazing. We got the beef set and it was delicious. Highly recommend this place! It was quiet when we came in and we had a chat with the owner the entire time and he was super funny and nice. Help him spread tacos across Japan!!

a week agoStumbled across this place when in kyoto last week. My daughter is vegetarian, so it was lovely to find somewhere so accomodating and helpful to her dietary needs. Chas was lovely and really friendly, even giving my daughter a translation to help ask for vegetarian options when eating out. Food was delicious, atmosphere was great. There were other returning customers there also enjoying the great food and hospitality. Great night spent with my girl at BalMil.
