Kyoto Scottsdale at the Waterfront offers a unique teppanyaki dining experience. The atmosphere is fun, and the staff is attentive and patient, making it easy for guests to navigate the menu. The appetizers, including sushi and seaweed salad, received high praise, and several guests found the food delicious. However, some main teppanyaki dishes were noted as over-salted. Despite these issues, one reviewer found the overall experience remarkable and plans to return.
The restaurant features a hibachi section that can make the air a bit smoky, but it is not bothersome. Prices are considered decent, and many visitors, including families celebrating special occasions, look forward to coming back. The restaurant has an older Japanese chef who comes in later in the day and makes the sushi, and the drinks are not bad. They also have happy hour, and reservations are recommended for the teppanyaki, especially in the evening.
The service is exceptional, and the owner is described as extremely kind, even opening a vending machine and handing out toys at no cost when the granddaughters of a party wanted them.
