I have been coming here nearly 15 years and it's definitely a favorite of mine. The dedication from the staff quality of food and atmosphere are top tier. BUT lately they've been lacking in quantity and quality. This place used to be fantastic food and a good quantity for your price. Now it seems like they are cutting corners at every place. Portion size has significantly decreased becoming almost half of what it used to be. Same thing with the amount of meat you get in your dish. Even the size of their sushi rolls has shrunk. I understand they are on tough times, but even the spicy sauce served with our Bebe and bop feels watered down compared to the vibrant flavor that we are used to.
We have been a loyal customer here for years but it's becoming harder and harder to recommend.

Kyoto Ka on Central Avenue is hands down one of the best sushi experiences you’ll find in Toledo. What sets them apart is their use of Grade A sushi, which refers to the highest quality, freshest fish available. For those who may not be familiar, “Grade A” means the fish is handled with the utmost care from catch to plate, ensuring vibrant flavor, perfect texture, and absolute freshness. It’s the gold standard—and once you’ve had it, you’ll immediately notice the difference from what many other local spots may serve.
I started with a warm bowl of vegetable miso soup, which was comforting and perfectly balanced. Then came the highlight: the Rainbow Roll. This roll was truly a journey of flavors, beginning with the delicacy of sea bass and white tuna, gradually building in richness, and finishing with the bold, full-flavored crescendo of salmon and red tuna. Each bite was clean, fresh, and perfectly composed—exactly what you’d expect from true Grade A sushi.
On top of the incredible food, the atmosphere at Kyoto Ka is spot-on. The restaurant feels calm and welcoming, with a modern vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The acoustics are good so you don't hear everyone's conversations or clinking and clanking of dishes. It’s also immaculately clean—so much so that even the air feels fresh the moment you walk in. That kind of attention to detail in both the environment and the food really sets them apart.

I was really impressed with this restaurant in a strip mall outside Toledo. I had the black cod soup (special) some nigiri, and some genmaicha. The soup was beautifully Japanese. Clear, basic, very well-done flavors. Kyoto KA is unassuming, casual, affordable, and much better than expected.

Revising my review to a 3 star from 5 due to pretty poor service tonight. I believe we had Alyssa - she took a half consumed cocktail from the table when one member of our party was away and then somewhat argued when it was brought up that someone took it. She also forgot two items we ordered (luckily she didn’t put them on the bill) and had a rushing attitude as if she was trying to leave. Food was very good as always.
Every time I eat here I wonder why I waste my time with other sushi restaurants. They always do such an excellent job here and I am never disappointed in my meal.
