Kyoto Restaurant

⸻ I hadn’t been to Kyoto in years, but I was happy to discover that it’s still just as warm and welcoming as I remembered. It may not be cutting-edge in terms of food or décor, but it delivers exactly what you want in a neighborhood Japanese restaurant—reliable, comforting dishes served with care. This is a family-run spot with consistently friendly service that makes you feel at home. I met a friend there last night—she lives in town but had never been. After our meal, she said she’d definitely be back. We each had a cold Japanese beer served in a perfectly chilled mug—refreshing and a great pairing with our food. I had the salmon teriyaki dinner, which came with miso soup, salad, and rice. Everything was satisfying and just right. After too many years away, it was a joy to return to Kyoto. I won’t wait so long next time.

Very warm and welcoming, and a quick service. Food was the best Japanese food I’ve tried so far. The lady was so sweet, she gave me lots of candies, cuz I loved them.

Tasty food at a reasonable price. The atmosphere is peaceful and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. If you go for lunch, the bento box specials are a great deal. Miso soup, salad, tempura, rice, and an entree for less less than $15!

Been coming here for twenty years. The sushi is amazing, the service is always fantastic. It's a home away from home for us.

Incredible lunch special of chicken teriyaki, soup, salad, rice, and California roll for only $12.25 every Tuesday through Friday 11:30 to 2:30. If I lived in the area, I would come here all the time. Very clean restaurant with a koi pond and authentic decor, friendly and fast service, and delicious food. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a fabulous meal at Kyoto Restaurant today.

Good food, nice location, comfortable ambiance but slow service. Working owner was very nice, accommodating and gracious. Food was pricey, does not offer Saba Shioyaki as an entree, which is my favorite dish. Available Saba side order was over cooked and dry. Also, wrong noodle was used in Sukiyaki. However, sushi rice was cooked and seasoned properly resulting in delicious sushi rolls regardless of what kind we ordered. We made reservations for our party of 7 and our table was ready on arrival socially distant as per CDC guidelines. We ate well, and spent over $300 in food. There's lots of room for improvement starting with ensuring that sushi plates are free from food debris. We asked to replace 3 of ours. Also, an included salad wasn't dressed. Looks like they forgot that too. When restrictions are lifted, this restaurant has potential and probably worth a second visit if we are in the area.
