Unagi Toku - Kyoto

Good taste but portion and price do not match.

Very traditional delicious Japanese unagi restaurant. Expensive but worth the price.

Not easy to find, but this place it's an actual gem

Excellent eel rice served in a variety of sizes (including double layer inside the wood pot) and ways. The tea soup eel rice is a highlight. Efficient service. Kyoto branch of a chain.

Went there with my parents for dinner today (Sunday at 6pm), it was not packed full, and we got seated right away. Since it's on the 7th floor of a building, that wasn't a surprise. From what I can see, the restaurant is pretty small; full capacity is at probably around 20-25 people. There was about 4-6 wait staff. So plenty of people to help out. -- yet our tea was only filled once during the whole meal. Considering we paid over 8500 yen for 3 set dinner meals, in addition to the fact that most of the time the staff was just loitering around (again, not full). The meal I had was the set meal with a bento box, 2 pieces of ungai, soup, steamed egg with unagi, and some sides + random salad. -- 3250 yen. --- the portions were regular Japanese meal portions; but what made me bitter is the fact that I can easily tell, that, the unagi in my bento was significantly smaller than the one for the customer next to me. No, it wasn't just 'cause in their bento they ordered a 4 piece one. But I literally could see, one piece of theirs = 50% bigger and thicker than mine. And my meal wasn't even a cheap meal! It's not fair. The sizes should be similar. But, redeeming points: they do taste fresh, it's nothing like the microwave frozen ones. Though I cannot say for certain that the TOKU ones taste /BETTER/. It did taste fresh and different. It is well cooked, seasoned, and flavoured. The white rice is of good quality. The atmosphere was also pretty good, ideal place for a date or even dine alone. You can see where the unagi is cooked and grilled; the whole process while the chief is working on it. Other than the poor cost/portion value ratio; and the disparity in the amount of unagi that's served (even the cheaper bento of my parents, they had bigger ones too)... and slow service; everything else is fine. Though I would not go again.

Quite expensive but delicious japanese Elle can be enjoyed.

Price more expensive than Singapore but did not feel it is any better than the unagi I get to eat back home. Ambience is good.

I have walked for quite a long time in Gion district, Kyoto to find a Unagi restaurant. Finally, i decided to have it here. Price is quite moderate to high, but still acceptable coz in the department store. Unagi size is okay in price 2,900 yen something. It is tasty. Good place to try.
