01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Deftly seared on the teppan griddle and glazed in a sweet-savoury sauce, tender cuts of pork belly served over soft egg and warm rice make the pork belly rice bowl (butabara don) a signature draw at Kiyo. Diners seeking a lighter profile can turn to the pork and bean sprouts with citrus ponzu, served as a full set with rice, miso soup, and pickles that keeps chopsticks moving.

Pork takes center stage across much of the menu, with dependable daily fixtures including pork ginger stir-fry, thick griddled pork steaks, scallion-topped pork belly, and breaded tonkatsu sets. The kitchen’s repertoire extends well beyond standard teishoku, turning out griddled staples like yakisoba and omelette-wrapped noodles, savoury okonomiyaki, and comforting bowls of Japanese dashi-based ramen and udon.

The dining room draws a steady midday trade from neighbouring workplaces, offering a comfortable, relaxed setting where solo diners looking to refuel for the afternoon feel easily at ease. As settlement is cash only, keeping Japanese yen on hand will ensure a hassle-free meal from order to payment.
