we had dinner for our 25th wedding anniversary. Didn't sit at hibachi but could still see the action at the hibachi stations. Booths are very private. Felt very special & like we were somewhere else entirely. Service was excellent!! Food was amazing. Will definitely go back & not wait for a special occasion. Lots of food too.

I just visited Kyoto Japanese Restaurant in Crystal Lake, and wow—what an incredible and unique experience! This is so much more than just delicious food—it’s a full-on show. We were seated at a table where the chef prepares your meal right in front of you, and it was absolutely amazing to watch. Everything is cooked fresh on the spot with fun fire and light effects that make the whole experience exciting and unforgettable—truly impressive!
