    Teriyaki Tofu with Broccoli
    Adrian R.

    So disappointing. I have not eaten to Kyoto Bowl in years and was craving tofu and veggies. Looking for a healthy option and I had not eaten all day. I got a teriyaki bowl with tofu and broccoli. I was so hungry! I bit into the tofu.... Cold inside! Broccoli mushy and over cooked. I choked it down and was not interested in getting it replaced- instead I would encourage through a professional review, to have the owners do a better job on quality. They have been at this spot for years, bummed.

    broccoli and rice in a bowl

    Not good at all. The chicken was gamey tasting. The spring roll was an extra three dollars and was small and not at all 3 dollars worth. No flavor and expensive.

    fav comfort food ever! the owner is no nice and has the best energy everytime i go in without fail, and so cute inside i love that i can always count on this place not to change

    Large sukiyaki bowl
    Aarone M.

    I ordered the sukiyaki bowl just before closing - it was really good, as described and delish! I'm not sure why this place has bad ratings... the food was good, service was fast and friendly.

They told us to please stay and we are so welcome and they were over the top accommodating. Everything was so good. The spicy miso wasn't my favorite flavor but that is just a personal preference.

They offer a nice variety of Japanese dishes, but we were definitely here for the ramen. I ordered the spicy miso ramen, and it came out just right--perfectly spicy with fish cake, green onions, and all the toppings. It was delicious and hit the spot. The tonkotsu ramen had a nice creaminess to it, but it could've used a bit more depth of flavor. One thing I really liked is that you can order side appetizers along with your entrée, almost like building your own bento-style meal. We went with the deep-fried gyoza and gyudon. The gyudon was a standout--definitely five stars. The gyoza, however, was just okay for me. Breakdown:    *   Spicy miso ramen:    *   Tonkotsu ramen:    *   Gyudon:    *   Gyoza: Service was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and overall it definitely satisfied our ramen craving.

    I may not be able to eat sushi anywhere else after this!…read more I came for the Restaurant Week lunch deal and am so glad I finally made it here. Everything from service to ambiance to food was excellent. And I love that they brought lunch service back to this location! Friday, Saturday, Sunday only and still make a reservation! It was busy! I wanted something fun to drink but non-alcoholic, so the bartender stopped by to help me decide. I got the Miso Sour and it was so good! This had a nice balance of flavors. I started with the Hamachi Crudo which has grapefruit ponzu, lemon mayo, Serrano pepper, and thin cucumber slices. This was so good! Refreshing with just the right amount of spice. Next I enjoyed chopped salad and miso. The salad was very fresh and had a variety of goodies including edamame, purple cabbage, and avocado. The miso is so good!! It was delicate and yet so flavorful. I chose the Yuzu tuna roll option which has spicy tuna and avocado inside, with big eye tuna on top, garnished with micro cilantro, red onion, and yuzu. This was so good! I also thought their ginger stood out - I would bet they make this in house. I can see why this always has such great reviews!

Seating was adequate, but not great. I am of jumbo size, though my wife is not. Table was barely big enough for me to get comfy at. Chair was barely ok.

Crispy truffle crab , unimpressed. slivers of shredded crab on top of a tiny toast square. $ 23 Tempura udon bowl, very good. Came with 2 delicious large tempura shrimp. Chirashi bowl. Very nice assortment of super fresh quality sashimi, over perfect rice. The hit of the meal was the Saikyo miso black cod. We agreed, this was the most scrumptious piece of fish we had ever eaten. PERFECTLY cooked, buttery and luscious. Service was good, unpretentious, though final tab was on the high side. Food and drinks were outstanding, service good, atmosphere Japanese austere & pleasant. We enjoyed the meal, and compliment the chefs!

When I walked in, I was promptly directed to where I should go so I could place a takeout order. The genuine courtesy of the staff here was just what I needed after a long day. Lots of great options for sushi but ramen sounded amazing on a chilly winter day. I ordered a couple options and requested for the toppings to be separated so my picky eater could pick out what she didn't like. The food was out promptly and packaged with such care. Once I got it back to my daughter's hospital room, we were able to feast on the best meal we had all day.

Our server was attentive, happy hour was good and everything came out quickly. The cucumber salad was super refreshing and gyoza were yummy with a delicious sauce. We ordered sake bombs, and I absolutely love that they serve them with frosty chilled glasses. We tried two different ramen bowls and both were packed with flavor. The spice levels felt pretty accurate, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Each bowl had its own flavor profile, but both were equally delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

    I enjoy going to this place occasionally, and will definitely be back. I vacillated on how to rate…read morethem, but ultimately landed on three stars. Let's get into it. What they do well: cheap and fast. When I was there for lunch, it was AYCE for $19.99. You really can't beat that. The service is solid, though not stellar. The selection is pretty good, too! The restaurant is also well maintained. It's always clean and the decor is exactly what you'd expect for Japanese cuisine. Opportunity: the sushi has been falling apart all three times I've been there. It reminds me a little of what it might be like if i made it at home myself and didn't get the sushi rice right. That doesn't adversely affect the flavors, but it's annoying that I can never seem to dip it into the soy sauce and get it into my mouth without losing half the roll. Their service model also makes it so items from the fryer or other appetizers sometimes come out after the sushi rolls. There's no effort to synchronize the back kitchen staff and the sushi bar. This isn't necessarily an issue for me. I'm happy when there's food in front of me. But I could see others feeling like it's a disjointed approach and experience. Like I said, I'll be back. But if you're going to this place, make sure you're managing your expectations.
