Been here for lunch a few times. The tandoori chicken special is always juicy, spices are just right. Nice and relaxed spot, even though it&#39;s right above the station.

Lunch buffet is solid value. Went during Golden Week, surprisingly quiet. Staff cleared plates promptly. The 4-hour free parking with meal is a major perk for visiting the park nearby.

The Omi beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, making it a must-try for any meat lover. The dining experience was enhanced by the attentive service, which made us feel welcomed throughout our meal.

The restaurant&#39;s location within a hotel offers a nice ambiance, but the food quality can be inconsistent. However, the variety of dishes available allows for a diverse dining experience.

I was impressed by the variety of dishes available at the buffet, especially the thick roast beef and the delicious desserts.

The burger was just okay, a bit dry. Good spot for a quick bite if you&#39;re passing by.

The Lunch Course B was a nice surprise. The cold pasta was the highlight for me. They suggested a crisp white wine that went perfectly with it. Good value for what you get.

The soy broth here nails that Kyoto style. It&#39;s got that deep, dark flavor but doesn&#39;t feel heavy or greasy at all. Just a clean, savory finish. The noodles were a good match for it.

The classic bean daifuku here is lovely. It&#39;s not overly sweet, and the salted beans inside have a nice, traditional balance. A very pleasant treat.

The shuttle from the station is so thoughtful. Just a quick call from the phone booth there, and you&#39;re whisked away. It made arriving feel like part of the experience, not just a commute.

The lunch menu offers great value for the quality of food. I had the Omi beef cut steak lunch, and it was delicious and satisfying for the price.

Grabbed an early lunch with friends. The DIY sesame seed grinder was a fun little activity while we chatted! Pork fillet katsu was crispy and tender. Miso soup was hearty. The all-you-can-eat rice and cabbage are perfect for sharing.

Buffet style is nice, the rice and soup stood out. Staff are kind, makes it feel comfortable. My soup was a bit lukewarm though, could be hotter. Still, a relaxed spot for a quick meal.

Rooms are pretty spacious with tatami floors. Tried the one with a private open-air onsen. Soaking alone in the evening was really relaxing. The bath was just the right temperature.
