Yomenya Goemon

After wandering around the dining area, this was one of the restaurant that had a short wait times and a high chair for my 18 month old. We went in and was promptly given a table. I had ordered the half and half special. Hubby got the seafood spaghetti and my toddler got the kids meal. It was ok, I think due to the fact that my 18 month old still haven’t adjusted to the time change, we basically just ate everything and left. Portion size were good and there are lot of choices on the menu. It’s like aPasta Comodoro in Kyoto. Great choice if you are tired of eating Japanese food.

Located at the Kyoto Porta (JR Kyoto Station)
Delicious pastas! After wandering around the Porta Dining area, we decided to try Yomenya Geomon because we thought our daughters would want a change from eating udon, sushi and/​or french fries (their primary sustenance on this trip to Japan). I can’t complain too much — they’re eating right?
My wife and I opted for the half and half specials (¥1420) as it would allow us to try a variety of different pastas. I had the carbonara with camembert cheese and crispy bacon, and the shrimp, avocado and fresh herb with genovese sauce. My wife had the spaghetti margherita, and the peperoncino with karasumi dried mullet roe, zuwai crab and shrimp. Both sets came with a small bowl of miso soup and a drink (we chose ice coffee). Everything was delicious! The serving sizes were large enough for the four of us to share and with everyone getting their fill. We also got a tiramisu/​chocolate ice cream-​type dessert (¥450)
Great choice!
