Kyoto Japanese Cuisine

"FEB, 2024. Took my mother for her birthday dinner along w 6 other people. I orderd a bunch of sushi and rolls. The 1st dish was two pieces of sushi. We just stared at it as we didn't want to fight for one piece. It took twenty minutes to get another dish, ONE roll, we all took a bite of an ice cold eel roll and waited another 15 to 20 minutes for two cold California rolls. We were starving. We had been there for one hour. The restaurant was freezing, we all sat there with our jackets on. I talked to the manager and he apologized profusely and said he would talk to the chef.. I figured I might as well order some more in the hope that we could eat something. Nothing changed we kept getting 1 roll or 2 pieces of sushi for the whole table despite having ordered plenty. I complained again. He apologized profusely. By this time we were all quite arround a cold food less table. I asked for the bill and it was full price. I asked the server who by now assumed is a young owner/manager because I asked how he could charge for a full price after knowingly ruining our mothers birthday celebration. He said of course not. He gave a 15% discount. I had even there many months prior and enjoyed it. I think it has new management. I'll never be back, not only was it not delicious the services was the worst I've had in long while. What made it worse was the lack initiative to make it better."

"The sushi chef was welcoming and friendly despite my little knowledge about sushi. All I tend to order is salmon sushi, spicy tuna hand roll, spicy tuna roll and some other rolls here and there. However, seeing him prepare sushi for the couple nearby made me want to try different kinds of sushi. I am looking forward to trying different fish from the sushi chef’s recommendation. Stay tuned! Their beef soup was good, just a tad pricy for what it was. I’ll stick to Shabu if I want soup. Their sushi was very good and I liked that the chef made the salmon sushi with lemon and did not need soy sauce. My sodium intake thanks you!"

"We had the chicken and beef teriyaki combo. Aside from the chicken being a bit dry, the food came piping hot and appealing. We feel we get a lot of good food for the price and the service is exceptional."

"New owner. Sushi are New style which I never have before. My salad is horrible of rotten leaves ."

"High quality sashimi beyond expectation. You know that a Japanese restaurant is on a higher tier when they have fresh uni, fresh amaebi, toro, Spanish mackerel or scallops. This place has them all and they are so fresh. The uni is so buttery. Scallops is super sweet. Miso soup is better than most places we have been to. We inquired how their sashimi taste so fresh and learned that their fish come directly from Japan EVERYDAY. I'm so impressed. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience."
