Birthday dinner for 14 people in Kyoto - Kyo Yakiniku Hiro Yasaka-Tei or better?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning a birthday dinner in Kyoto for a group of 14 adults in 2 weeks and would like some advice.
After a lot of searching, one of the top places I came across is Kyo Yakiniku Hiro Yasaka-Tei. It seems to check a lot of boxes for us:
- Traditional Kyoto atmosphere
- Wagyu / yakiniku
- Potential private room
- Large-group friendly
- Around ¥8,000–12,000 per person
Has anyone been recently? Would you recommend it for this occasion? I’m kind of hesitant because I have to pay now to reserve and it’s done through My Concierge Japan, even then they can’t tell me if a private room is guaranteed, so I kind of have to pray and hope for the best.
What we’re looking for specifically is a place that offers seating together for a group of 14 people, not overly casual but also not break the bank so like a budget of around ¥10,000 per. We’d prefer kaiseki but are open to other cuisines if there are better options available.
I’d love to hear your restaurant recommendations if you have any that check these boxes!
Thanks!
