Toyo

One memorable lunch at Toyo is the chicken nanban set. One diner reported that the chicken breast came with plenty of tartare sauce made with boiled egg, creating a pleasing contrast between the relatively light meat and rich sauce. The set also included miso soup and small sides such as stir-fried glass noodles with sausage, chilled tofu, and daikon and shimeji mushrooms simmered in broth. A diner who ordered the fried oyster lunch on another day also reported receiving rice, miso soup, two small sides and pickles. It is a good option for lunch if you want a main dish with a variety of accompaniments.

The fried oysters came with tartare sauce, which one diner enjoyed without using Worcestershire sauce. Lunch reports also mention fried white fish, hamburg steak, tonkatsu and grilled fish, so there are set meals to consider beyond fried dishes.

For dinner, ordering a few dishes to share sounds like a good way to explore the menu. One diner was especially impressed by the rolled omelette and also ordered fried oysters, fried young chicken and grilled yellowtail collar. The tofu salad was topped with fried yuba, a detail that made it stand out as a distinctly Kyoto-style dish.

Tonpeiyaki also earned praise from one diner and appears among the menu options. The restaurant serves alcoholic drinks, including beer and wine, making it possible to pair a drink with a few dishes. Lunch and dinner menus are available. The restaurant is open Monday to Saturday from 17:30 to 22:30.
