The cuts were generous and incredibly fresh. The Tekka Maki rolls were rolled perfectly, with a great bite and, again, very fresh. We were also treated to dessert and chose the fried green tea ice cream. It was definitely firm, which makes sense since it was fried, but fried green tea ice cream. It was definitely firm, which makes sense since it was fried, but the contrast worked well. Sweet and savory with the crispy exterior overall, really good. Service was fast and efficient, with a very attentive server. The ambiance was clean, nice, and relaxed. It wasn't very busy, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

I immediately loved the setup. Instead of the typical romantic table for two, everyone sits together along a large hibachi grill. You might share the table with another party depending on your group size. For a second or third date, it was actually perfect..the lively atmosphere helped ease my nerves and gave us something fun to focus on besides just making conversation. We ended up sharing our grill with a family of four. Our chef was hilarious and super interactive, which made the whole experience entertaining from start to finish. My boyfriend helped me navigate the menu since I had no idea what to order. I went with the filet mignon and shrimp combo, and it did not disappoint. The fried rice was especially delicious..everything was fresh and flavorful. I really enjoyed Kyoto Palace. It's a fantastic spot for a fun date night or any evening when you want great food with a little show. We went on a Friday night and it was busy, so I highly recommend making reservations (my boyfriend was smart enough to do so ahead of time). Bonus: It's located in a cute little plaza, perfect for a relaxing stroll before or after dinner. I'm so glad he introduced me to this place..great ambiance and even better company. Highly recommend!
