About Kyōten

Kyōten offers an exceptional sushi experience with high-quality, unique ingredients and expertly prepared dishes. The restaurant's relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere and Japanese-style minimalist design create a magical ambiance. Standout dishes include the exquisite monk fish liver with ginger sauce and the rare puffer fish testicles. The sushi rice is exceptional, making every piece extraordinary. The chef, who is deeply connected to Tokyo's fish markets and sources only wild-caught fish, creates a seasonal menu based on the market’s best daily offerings. The menu features many courses of the freshest fish, some from Japan, and is carefully crafted to highlight the natural flavors. The restaurant offers only a single seating per night, with a base price of $490 on weekends, which includes a carefully curated, multi-course Omakase. The chef’s passion and skill are evident in every bite, from the delicate slices of fish to the beautifully shaped rice. Although some dishes like monkfish liver may not appeal to everyone, the overall experience is memorable and worth the price. The attention to detail, the artistry of the chef, and the high-quality ingredients combine to create an unforgettable dining experience.
