Sushi was solid; two sushi rolls for lunch for $13 was great. Comes with a soup (a little thin for miso but ok on a cold day). The agedashi tofu wasn't as good as it was before... simpler now in style and less interesting with dipping sauce. read more

My dad lived in Florham Park 10 years ago and we still come here. We live 1 hour and 12 minutes away now. We drive all the way here for the Pacific Roll which isn't even on the menu anymore but they still make it. It is honestly the best sushi I have ever had in my life. They give great portions, the service is nice and everyone comes for hibachi so the wait for sushi is usually short. I will continue to drive this to come here. It is so worth it. read more

My boss and I came here for lunch one day. There is plenty of parking since it is in a shopping plaza. The staff was very nice and service was quick. I had the lunch special bento box with shrimp. It was served with salad, California roll, shumai, and miso soup. It tasted flavorful, but I wish it came with steamed rice. The sauce with the shrimp was very good. Great spot for a quick lunch bite. read more

Kyoto Steak & Sushi - Lunch bento box with shrimp - Japanese Near Me - Florham Park, New Jersey

We ended up a big group (of 18) for a Saturday lunch. It was pretty empty when we arrived, so it was nice to have the spot mostly to ourselves. We had two tables/chefs, and almost everyone ordered hibachi. It took a while to get drinks (Even just tap waters) - we didn't bring any alcohol but it seems to be BYOB? We were half adults and half kids, and the staff was very kind and understanding when our kids were a bit fidgety and wanted to check out the pond with the fish, or play with the gumball machine up front. The food itself was tasty - perhaps a bit oversalted - but tasty. Our chefs were fantastic! They made sure to put a proper show on, and kept the kids very engaged. They did the typical onion-ring volcano (kids LOVED the fire) and chopped up zucchini to catch in your mouth. A few of us diversified our choices - some went with chicken, shrimp, salmon and steak. My chicken was very tender. Even my picky-eater son enjoyed a few bites! They allowed us to bring some cupcakes into the place and helped make sure we could properly celebrate one of the kids birthdays. Overall - a wonderful time with great staff and a great spot. A few things to be mindful of: -Make reservations in advance - if you're going as a group of 2 or 4, you may need to split a table with another small group - Parking lot was hard to find space during busy times. I assume dinners may be easier but lunchtime was rough! read more

Decent food but heavy on the salt! We got there early and we just waited for a bit at the hibatchi area to see if anyone else would come. It was just the four of us! Our "chef" was entertaining - usual onion fire volcano, throwing food in mouth and water "peeing" for kids. The wait staff were abrupt and non smiling. The food was average. The filet was definitely better than their regular steak. Fried rice was delicious but the noodles were soaked in sauce and salt! We loved the fact it was BYOB! Only downside is no fun drinks! A bit pricey but enough food to bring home (and we got kids size portions). After we ate everyone felt full and over salted! Recommendation: drink lots of water! We didn't try the sushi so no review for that. read more

Went here for adult family birthday party and chef was amazing. Kept us all entertained and made some great meals. Wish we got his name he really made the experience entertaining for all. read more

We stopped by for dinner here and they were able to accommodate 10 of us around one Hibachi grill table. We started with some sushi and miso soup. The kids loved the sushi and it was decent. The miso soup was flavorful but served in lukewarm temperature .. not very appetizing. The hibachi grill cook was friendly and showcased some fun tricks for us with the food. The fried rice was very tasty and should definitely be ordered. The noodles were plain and simple. The hibachi veggies were fresh, crisp and wonderful. For the meats, we liked the Salmon, Steak a lot and the shrimps were decent. The chicken was not good and was very chewy..would skip that next time. Overall it was a good dining experience for yummy hibachi and decent sushi! read more

Loved the old ownership, the new owners are meh. The quality has definitely gone down. What fried rice doesn't come with egg in it? We love the chefs here- sad to have seen some turnover of long term staff. The noodles and steak are still yummy, just wish the rice had eggs in it again. read more

Our kid loves coming here for the hibachi and the food is very good! Chefs are fun and it's nice that you can also order a la carte sushi and other entrees. The family seated next to us enjoyed their meal as well. read more

Huge space good for going out for lunch with a group from work. Then you have the option of sushi or Hibachi style cooked foods You can eat at tables or at the hibachi and watch the chef toss the food which can be lots of fun if you haven't seen that before wide option of meats and seafood available. There is something for everyone Lots of parking so you can meet up with friends and everyone can have fun and something good to eat. read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night recently after watching The Lion King. Let's just put it this way...its no way near the same class as Benihana, but for the price we paid it was a nice dinner. I knock down 2 starts because: a. The food is way too salty. Unlike the previous yelper who said the food had no taste and bad quality, we did not encounter bad quality, but the cook put too much soy sauce on everything. b. The food was just piled on your plate, instead of being served nicely. But I guess that is the difference between Benihana and Kyoto. Service was attentive. The chef was very good and funny. So if you want better hibachi experience, go to Benihana, even though the one in Short Hills has been going downhill lately. read more

Wow!!!!! If I could give 6 stars I would!!! This place was amazing!!!! The food was SPECTACULAR!!! I highly recommend the YUMMY sauce too! My fiancé and I came here for our 4 year anniversary and not only was the food incredible but our chef made the entire experience! Not only were we laughing and entertained by all of his talent and tricks, but we had the best conversation and learned so much about life, food, family and beyond. It was so nice to have a "normal" night out amidst such a solemn time and celebrate life and meet new people. We will never forget this night and we cannot wait to come back! read more

Before ordering - made waitress and chef aware of food allergies. All agreed to cook seafood at the end of the order. They have No understanding of food allergies. You will put your self at risk if you have an allergy. When chef contaminated food - argued with 9 person party (5 of who have same allergy) that it was OK to cook on same surface in spite of multiple request to have sea food prepared for party members at the end of the order. 5 of the 9 could not eat the food. This $ 300 plus order was destroyed - and they still wanted us to take it. NOT A CHANCE. The chef and staff verbally abused the group - causing the children to CRY!!! After the long wait to get the first attempt at correct order - they said it would be an additional 20 minutes before they could send another chef to recook - and they were unwilling to do that. They put our safety at risk, they insulted my family, and they expected full payment of the bill. This "new" chef did not speak English and was barely interactive with the group - until we refused to eat contaminated food. Then he was very verbal - not in english. Please if you have food allergies do - go someplace that can accommodate you. read more

Really nice hibachi place. We made reservations and the restaurant did well with distancing those who came in. We had an entire hibachi table to ourselves for 2 people. The service was quick - we were served drinks, salad, and soup right away and the hibachi chef came out within 10 minutes of us ordering. The hibachi chef was super fun and personable - he did all the fun hibachi tricks! As far as the food, they gave us a lot (which I'm not complaining about at all!) We knew from the start we'd be getting boxes to go. The food was good! A bit salty, but overall good. We would definitely go back here. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's not the best hibachi I've ever had, but definitely high up on the list. As a side note, this place is BYOB! There is no bar. read more

By my thinking, if you pay the same price you should get the same portion. But this last Saturday night is the second time I've been here, 18 years apart, where I noticed they gave me, a woman, and the adolescent a smaller portion -by half ! of steak than the men at the table. Last time it was two women, and yes we noticed, who got significantly less steak than the men. How is that fair or even legal?! I tried to talk to the owner about this practice because I did not want to blindside him with this very serious concern through just a Yelp review. His English suddenly became bad and he started stuttering that the prices had gone up. He tried to tell me he'd have his daughter call me back but I said that I knew he spoke English very well and understood that I was asking him to stop this discriminatory practice and that it's not fair or maybe it's even illegal. I asked him what he was going to do about it and surprise! He hung up on me, Thankfully his daughter called a short time after and understood that this practice is not acceptable even though she made some excuses about chefs not wanting food to be wasted so they may give women less because they eat less. I corrected her that it's not the chef's or the establishment's decision to make on how a purchase gets distributed, but it is the consumer's decision! Even that thinking is sexist and I told her so. So keep your eye out, not only ladies but, everyone because I think this is how they save money by skimping on certain people's portions. Hopefully the owners daughter will be able to exact some influence and retrain her father and the chefs on how NOT to discriminate. Just so you know.. I ordered the filet mignonette and scallops hibachi at 30.99 or maybe even a dollar more, no worries . But if my steak weighed 3 oz that is generous. It was sliced through horizontally so it was so thin would even be cooked too fast. Hard-working buyers beware! read more

Food used to taste better. We were unable to sit at a Hibachi table and they prepared the food in the kitchen. It was salty and the salmon had no flavor than being drowned in teriyaki sauce. I will not be going back. read more

I went here tonight with a group of friends. Arrived a little early-- the owner was pretty annoyed so we waited outside in the foyer to avoid him. Ordered hibachi and a Japanese (oshinko) appetizer . The food was mediocre, I had to ask for my appetizer and when I got it and took one bite it was so gross I didn't touch it. It was yellow pickles (that tasted old very old) accompanied with seaweed salad and some old mushrooms. Which is not the typical way oshinko is served. The chef was not your typical/authentic Japanese hibachi chef. He was not very interactive. I wouldn't go back - food just didn't taste fresh, and the service wasn't great. read more

Kyoto Steak & Sushi - Oshinko app- yellow pickles tasted very old, rubbery and had a foul taste. Mushrooms/seaweed salad typically are not served with oshinko. - Japanese Near Me - Florham Park, New Jersey

I went and got horrendous food poisoning from spicy tuna, spicy salmon and spicy yellowtail roll

Hi-dee ho! Kee-Yo-toe! Some people say you should not drunk review, but i think these are the most authentic. Kyoto is a great spot. They always have excellent chefs who are fun, entertaining and skilled. I would love to see them do some more cool tricks with knives, like throwing them at the customers. Cool. The food is delicious. I love the soup and salad although i would have preferred dressing on the side. The filet mignon is tender and juicy. The veggies and noodles are tasty too. Did you catch the food they threw in your mouth? No? Loser. Just drink more saki. Overall, the food at kyoto is one of the best hibachi spots in the area. The sushi is good quality (I've had it several times before) and is fresh and delicious. read more

Not the same sushi chef. Tried the salmon tar tar. Full of seaweed and tempura flakes with a few small pieces of salmon you could barely taste. I left without finished the appetizer. Maybe hibachi is better. But i went next door for more bad food. Nona is terrible. read more

Ordered "Sushi Lunch" ($26, including tax & tips). Food is small portion & fishes not fresh. Also, have to ask waitress to provide the rice? poor service. Not recommended. read more

Unfortunately I had a really bad experience here last night. Our reservation was for 7:00pm, by 8:15 our hibachi chef still had not come to our table. When I asked, who seemed like the owner/manager what was going on, he pointed to the two chefs behind us who were finishing a table of 30+ people us. We had to wait until those chefs were done with that party until they could start ours. The best part was, when the chef came to our table (who was so sweet and considerate) the owner neglected to turn on the grill. So we had to wait for that. I will not be going back to Kyoto, don't waste your time here. The chef was great but how can you staff an entire hibachi sushi restaurant which is very popular with just 2 chefs? Either that or don't accept the reservations if you know you can't accommodate. Poor customer service. And the owners excuse was "sorry we are really busy" read more

Since this was close to my hotel we decided to give this place a try. I was not impressed. The food was just OK. Not a lot of flavor. I also was not happy with getting charged $2 for each soda that I drank. You should be told if you are going to be charged for refills. Needless to say, I wont be back. read more

If McDonald's made Asian food, it would be this. Food was warm, just warm, and had no flavor. I thought this was odd as we ordered off the menu, both sushi and hot food. I wasn't eating it and the waitress asked if I wanted it boxed up and I said, no thanks because it isn't good. The chicken is over cooked and the noodles have no flavor. The shrugged and walked away. Nice. It ended up costing me almost $75 but worth it because I never have to wonder if the food is the same as other like restaurants in the area. #keepitmovin read more

me and my friends had a reservation for 4 people at 6:45. we were on time for our reservation yet it took them 20 minutes to get us to a table. After waiting for 15 minutes we asked the woman at the hostess stand how much longer the wait would be. She was extremely rude and got all up in my friends face for no reason. That is poor customer service if you ask me. All we did was kindly ask how much longer we would have to wait for our RESERVATION. The woman claimed that just because our reservation was at 6:45 that doesn't mean we had to be seated at 6:45. So then what is the point of making a reservation? The service here is not that great either. Not once did someone come over and ask how the food was, or if we needed anything. The family we were seated with was given more attention, received everything they wanted; any to go boxes, their check, honestly if they asked for the waitress to lick the bottom of their shoes she probably would. They basically disregarded us. How can you ignore paying customers? The only reason i gave this place 1 star was for the fact that the food is ok not the best but not the worst and decently priced for hibachi. Other than that i really have nothing nice left to say about this place. read more

This is my one of the spots that I usually end up at for lunch, mostly because it is close to my job. I sit in the sushi section because, for lunch, I don't have a lot of time, so I can't comment on how any of the hibachi aspect of this restaurant is. Generally speaking, everything that I've had (usually a California roll and a spicy tuna roll) is pretty good. I did order the avocado salad one day which, though yummy, was not what I was expecting for the price. Their ginger dressing isn't as great as the ginger dressing that I have had elsewhere. I do enjoy the shumai, as well as the sauce it comes with, so I would definitely recommend that. The other day I tried the Bento box, which is a good portion for the price. The steak was a bit chewy in my Bento box, so I didn't finish it, but the sushi, shumai, and salad were good. I do wish the waitresses would smile a little bit, say hello, or generally be a bit more pleasant than they are. Usually, they just come to the table, ask if I've decided yet, and then walk off. There have been times when they're a bit slow and times when they have tried to pull my plates when I wasn't finished yet. If they were just a bit more friendly, it would definitely boost up the atmosphere of Kyoto and the pleasantness of eating there. However, if you're looking for a decently priced lunch menu and food that you can eat within the span of your lunch break, you may as well try this out. read more

Kyoto Steak & Sushi - Lunch bento box - Japanese Near Me - Florham Park, New Jersey

Went for a birthday celebration. Had a reservation. We were seated immediately. All down hill from there. Also had waitress come to take our order within 2 minutes. Definitely got rushed through everything from ordering to eating.. Food was terrible. Over cooked and over priced. Chef raced thru cooking. They started taking our plates even though we werent finished. Had to tell them to stop. Then after we were done the owner came and asked us to move to the front. There were six of us. We were seated and finished in an hour and asked to move to the front twice. We used to love coming here but NEVER again. Really went down hill. So incredibly rude. There were 3 people waiting when we left. We spent a lot of money and were celebrating birthdays. Have never been treated so rudely in a restaurant. read more

The food what so good I had to go there 5 times and I recommend buying the sushi there and getting the sushi bar seats you get sushi all you want and in love it there,And the staff were VERY VERY NICE,but the volcano was to scary for my 6 year old but I love the hibachi! read more

Been coming here for years, some of the best hibachi around, and they move quick which is great when its busy.

Really great hibachi spot in Florham Park. This place is byob and the chef handling the hibachi was very engaging the crowd. To start they give you a salad and a mushroom soup. Then the chef comes out and makes a very tasty lo mein which was awesome then the group decided on fried rice. Obviously everything came out hot and extremely tasty. For my meal I decided on the combination filet Mignon and chicken. This was one of the best filets I have had in awhile. Tasty chewy and extremely tasty with plenty of seasoning. The chicken was also very very good and cooked to perfection. Was able to try the shrimp which was another appetizer which again was tasty and seasoned perfectly. The scallops were awesome. I can't say enough about this place and how fresh everything was. Worth trying out if in the hibachi mood. This place is BYOB read more

Have been here a few times over the years as my parents live up the street. I go for the hibachi and mostly every time I think has been lunch. Today I had the steak and shrimp combo which came with miso, noodles, veggies and course fried rice. I should have went with the filet but the steak was pretty good. Cooked to my liking, a few fatty pieces but overall it was good. Shrimp was great I thought as always. Service was fine and the meal is enough for two people really. I am stuffed but I ate most of mine. It really you can stretch it into two meals if you wanted to bring it home. Place was empty (the hibachi part at least) but maybe people opt for a quicker meal at lunch time I don't eat hibachi often so it's nice to come here I get my fix. Way better quality the Benihana imo. read more

We liked it better than Benihanna and much more reasonably priced. Food was good the service was not so friendly but the chefs were. Good place to family. Also came for lunch special one day and it was very good! read more

Kyoto Steak & Sushi - Lunch Hibachi Special - Japanese Near Me - Florham Park, New Jersey

Huge portion of good when you sit down at the hibachi table. I've been there for lunch several times. The bento box also a huge amount of food. I normally get the chicken teryaki bento box. It comes with Miso soup, salad with ginger dressing, chicken teryaki with steamed veggies and white rice, shrimp shumai, and a California roll. I believe the price is 12.95 for that amount of food it was definitely worth it. I also had a few of the specialty rolls that change daily on the specials board and they are huge. I have never been disappointed with one of the specialty rolls. It's normally so big that I never finish the full roll and take some of it with me. Also try the green tea ice cream. It's excellent. read more

Do not ever plan a birthday party here - they have one chef and if something happens they just call you 2 hours before the party and say - oh well you can't come today. I had a group of 10 for my son's birthday going tonight and they just called - do not trust them read more

I orders two diners and appetizer. Food was at best mediocre. I do not think it was worth the prices! Will not be back again.

I have been sitting here for a very long time. I haven't gotten a single drink. My order hasn't been taken and it's unacceptable. I come here to have a good time with my friends and now we're without food and drinks. I am so disappointed in this and I am very outraged. This needs to change. and we have reservations. Our reservation was for 7 and it is now 8:10. I am so angry. read more
