About Kyoto Steakhouse & Sushi Bar | Japanese

Kyoto Steakhouse & Sushi Bar | Japanese is a small town restaurant offering a variety of Japanese cuisine, including sushi and hibachi dishes. Customers appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, who often provide menu recommendations and good service, even if some servers are young or inexperienced. The atmosphere is casual, though some reviews mention less tidy areas, such as stacked beverages and staff at workstations, which do not greatly affect the dining experience.

The restaurant’s food receives mixed reviews. Many enjoy their sushi, especially the Flying Fish Roe Roll, Hwy 90, and Caterpillar Roll, noting that the sushi is always hot and fresh. The kids particularly like the miso soup and cowboy roll. Customers also enjoy dishes like the smoked mountain roll with soy, cucumber salad, and steamed wontons, which are described as delicious and a good choice for a first-time diner. The hibachi steak box is popular among some guests.

However, some meals have been disappointing. The soup and entrée are sometimes served at room temperature, and the signature Kyoto House Roll is often too rice-heavy with insufficient meat and vegetables. The blackened tuna is described as overly spicy and poorly prepared, with too much pepper overpowering the flavor. Other issues include the older building with leaks, challenging parking, and some presentation concerns, such as beverage cases in view and staff counting tips openly.

Prices are considered fair, and many find the food tasty for the cost. Overall, Kyoto Steakhouse & Sushi Bar is seen as a friendly, casual spot that offers good Japanese food, with room for improvement in presentation and consistency.
