About this place
“Kenji’s Feed” is an unusually named special egg-over-rice dish, listed on the menu as “TKG.” Diners who have ordered it have described it as tasty, and it makes a good choice whether you want a light bite or something more filling. Another dish that catches the eye is “Hellfire Fried Chicken.” One visitor described it as “extremely spicy,” so it may appeal to fans of heat looking for a drinking snack.
For a heartier meal, consider “Doctor’s Chef’s-Choice Champon,” which reviewers have singled out as a recommended dish. The menu also features udon noodle yakisoba, udon with thickened sauce and a pork-and-kimchi rice bowl, offering options from drinking snacks to full meals. Drinks include beer and Kaku highballs, alongside chūhai in flavours such as lemon, shikuwasa and Otoko Ume.
The izakaya is open from 18 until 0, then again from 0 until 6 in the morning. A place to get a meal late at night, Pon can also suit a second stop or a late drink in Kyoto’s Kiyamachi district. Visitors say the interior is small and that guests may share tables. It can work for dining alone, but the atmosphere seems better suited to a night that includes conversation than to a quiet, intimate catch-up.
