The food here was delicious!! I’ve done a few omakases, but this was hands down one of the best. Just looking at the sushi you could tell it was high quality. They also cut generous pieces of all the fish.
Mugi was our chef of the night and fantastic. He answered all our questions and made sure we satisfied throughout.

Solid omakase. Not the best I’ve had but also not the worst. Akami, Wagyu, kimba(esque) roll were my favorites. The chutoro and otoro unfortunately were let downs for me since the connective tissue wasn’t fully trimmed off the piece so they both weren’t the most pleasant. I do realize with fatty pieces as such it can be very difficult by nature to trim all connective tissue off but paying a premium price I tend to have premium expectations. Overall it was a good meal but not a place worth returning to for me. Next time I will try the other restaurant Kyōten.

This place is….. special. And Incredible. The quality of the fish is unbelievable, the service was fantastic, and we never wanted to leave. We are already talking about who we should bring back with us for next time.

Everything was so fresh. Been to a variety of omakase in the city but this is my new favorite. The last tamago piece was the highlight! Still dreaming about it weeks later.

This was my third time at Kyoten Next Door, and honestly, it just gets better every time. Went with a group of friends and we had such a fun night!! We had lots of laughs, great conversation, and the kind of food that makes you pause mid-bite because it’s that good.
The sushi was super fresh and carefully put together, you can tell they really care about the details. The rice, the seasoning, the pacing — all of it just worked. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, but the quality is top-notch.
It’s quickly becoming one of our favorite spots for a night out. Already looking forward to the next round!

This was our second time dining here, and both the food and service were excellent. Every piece of fish was incredibly fresh, and a special shoutout to Chef Jorge—his skill and hospitality truly elevated the experience. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

Kyoten Next Door offers an intimate 10-seat omakase in a sleek, modern space. The fish quality was excellent, though much of the nigiri leaned heavily on soy sauce and lacked a bit variety in seasoning. The pacing also felt a bit rushed, with 16 courses served in just over an hour. Overall, the toro, Wagyu, and tamago were standout highlights. A well executed meal overall, even if a few elements felt a bit restrained.
I was genuinely looking forward to my meal at Kyoten Next Door, given its reputation and the caliber of its sibling restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience left me disappointed. The sushi, which should be the highlight of any omakase, was surprisingly underwhelming.
One of the most distracting aspects was the rice. The grains were unusually large—so much so that they overpowered the delicately sliced fish. Sushi is a balance of texture, temperature, and proportion, and here it felt skewed. I'm not sure why the chef insists on this particular style, but it detracted from the subtlety and finesse one expects at this price point.
Overall, while the ambiance and service were fine, the food didn’t live up to the expectations or the price. With so many other exceptional sushi experiences available in the city, I’m not in a rush to return.

Very nice experience with very tasty food. One problem was we had one very rude couple that showed up 25 minutes late and was watching loud YouTube videos and overall being very rude. I was celebrating my birthday and we were disrupted by this couple making remarks in Chinese which I could understand berating the chef for not giving him extra scallions as a side dish. I would suggest the host to either not allow them to dine after being so late or to at least tell them to be respectful

Had an amazing experience tonight. The chef even accommodated some of my meat and fish preferences and subbed out different things. So nice!!
