My wife and I have eaten at Kyoto several times here in tupelo and have always enjoyed it. Somewhat hidden in a back shopping center off the main road, but well worth the find. We usually get a Bento box for lunch, but from time to time we get the shrimp or chicken tempura appetizer and fried rice and share as it is plenty for 2 people. The crab rangoon appetizer is always a must for us, and i like the dark ginger sauce on those. The tanginess mixed with the cream cheese center in ver good. My wife is a yum yum sauce person and enjoys their version very much.The ginger dressing on the salad is just ok, but not the worst I have ever had. The interior could use a little touch up in my opinion, but we've never had bad service or bad food. Definitely one of our go to restaurants when we are wanting asian food.

Excellent food. Friendly attentive staff. Kudos to having no issues modifying the menu item to suit a picky kid. Children demolished their entrees. Excellent sushi and cold beer.

Food was mid but service was terrible. Restaurant was empty and it took FOREVER to get my food. I’ll take blame as I should have known when it took several minutes for someone to come and seat me.

Absolutely a wonderful experience every time we’ve been. Our servers were top notch, the guy cooking our hibachi was entertaining, and our food was absolutely delicious.

Parking: went here for my boyfriends birthday 12/27/24 we went in to eat the food was good, we parked on the side of the building unfortunately my car got broke in to and they don’t have cameras on the side of the building only in the front.
I hate writing this because I really do have fond memories of this place when I was young, but the quality has tanked and it will be our last visit here. We were seated quickly and got our orders taken. The chef appeared to not be trained. The rice had no flavor, the vegetables were undercooked, and the meat was spongy. The lack of flavor was the worst. It's almost like he was afraid of flavor. After the 143 dollar bill, we just can't justify this kind of expense for sub par food. There is a reason Mt Fuji has an hour wait and Kyoto is a walk in. They aren't in the same league. Sad day.

Kyoto was a good restaurant at one time, now not so much. Upon entry, the floor was tacky liked they had mopped with sugar water. This was at lunchtime and it was not busy at all. The waitress was ok, but not very attentive. Our salad came when the meal was served. Thought salads were served before the meal and it was swimming in dressing, just an overkill. But, before I could eat, I went through 3 sets of silverware, they were all sticky with food stuck on them. It really didn’t matter because the chicken was way over cooked and dry. Where the grills are, it looked like storage space with a kids bicycle, just weird. Do they even use the grills anymore? One last thing, I would have preferred Japanese music in the background than country music. Not that there’s anything wrong with country music, it just didn’t fit the atmosphere. Note to self, if you walk in a restaurant and the floor is sticky, just turn around and leave.

The Pina colodas are extremely good, the sushi is amazing. I go there mostly for the sushi but everything there is really good. If you haven't tried this place definitely give it a shot some time.
We waited 15 minutes for our server to come to our table, the food wasn't good and one of our meals didn't show up for almost 30 minutes after the rest did and it was cold.
