In “the Cube” by the Kyoto Station, on the 11th Floor, just journey up the many sets of escalators. At night it’s a sight just getting there with the ongoing light show on the staircase! While the food in this place is good, its not great, and the tripadvisor reviews are on the high side I would say. The pork... More

This place is in the middle of lots of choices so if you have seen the great reviews here and set your heart on this place only to find it full, please explore around it since there are plenty of other good places to be had. That said it is worth the short wait times (20 minutes for us) because... More

This food was so delicious and probably the best pork I have ever had! The meals came with really nice accompaniments and great friendly service. It's on the 11th floor of the train station which made it very easy to find.

Traditional japanese, only pork on the menu so no vegetarians or muslims. Friendly service. Crowd is a mix of japanese and europeans.

Had very high expectations about the place considering the #6 rating. It was quite tasty but unimpressive. Had much better katsu at Katsu-Hama in New York. I'd say not worth the long lines and doesn't deserve the cult status.

Kyoto - The cube Pros: Inexpensive, casual dining; fresh ingredients; good location (near main station & shopping complex eg food courts); nice/unique idea...grinding your own sesame seeds/adding sauce etc; friendly atmosphere & sharing a table can lead to conversation with fellow travellers. Cons: A limited menu with specialty of pork; plenty of friendly staff but not very attentive or well... More

We have been relying on Trip Advisor when selecting where to go out to eat, and it did not disappoint. There were three great things about this restaurant, the location on the 11th level above Kyoto station. It was a great journey just getting there, like a 'stairway to heaven'. It was easy to find by simply going up the... More

Read the reviews on trip advisor briefly before we went to the Cube however didn't decide on this restaurant until we got there. It wasn't hard to find if you took the escalators up from the central entrance of Kyoto Station all the way up until the 11th floor. Turn left at the top of the escalators on through the... More

Like guampanda, found this restaurant through Tripadvisor. Also had difficulty locating this place. However, if you take the elevator through Isetan Dept Store to the 11th floor, it will be much easier as you just need to walk round the floor to find this restaurant. If you are not sure which restaurant it is because they are all in Japanese,... More
