Let me start out by saying that I have never eaten at Kyoto, but I tried to do so. My lady friend and I went to this restaurant because it had received a good review on Yelp, plus we had a coupon, so we figured to give it a shot. When we arrived, we were greeted by the sweet smell of hibachi grilling and the screeching sound of a kajillion kids. If my friend Laura was here, we would probably be awaiting her trial on 12 separate charges of manslaughter. We were informed that it was a group outing for a series of little league baseball teams. When we were told, along with all of the other people waiting that a table was being cleaned off, I figured that we were going to be ok. I was wrong. Now granted, it is already 8:30 when we are being seated. So we sit down and wait...and wait...At about 9, someone comes over to take our drink order. At 9:15, we left, never having received our soda and tea. Luckily for us, as we were walking out of the restaurant, the manager said, "Thank you, have a good night." Now, I know they were busy and maybe they weren't expecting so many kids, but 45 minutes and no drinks, unacceptable. We left and went to the Bob Evans in the same complex. Sure it wasn't hibachi, but at least we were done eating by 10. I wonder if the people at our old table had even had their orders taken by then! read more

Went here a few times and always enjoyed the food--the staff is generally good and quick. The fun part is the food preparation! Great prices for good food. read more

I love Kyoto's! I love their fried rice and sushi. Ask for Tony to make you sushi and Mr. Sing if you want a fun hibachi show.

It's now called "Tony", which the waitress explained was because the new owners didn't want to pay for a new sign, so they re-arranged the letters in "Kyoto"! Funny, Tony doesn't really sound Japanese to me (and what about the 'N'?). Anyway, of the 2 (!) hibachi places in Eldersburg, Tony is far better than Osaka. No one goes here so there is never a wait. It is much bigger than Osaka. The food is better and faster. Osaka probably does win on ambiance just because it is more crowded. Neither place has as entertaining chefs as, say, Nichi Bei Kei in Columbia. Not much to say about the food, it is pretty standard hibachi fare. They also have a large sushi menu but I don't eat sushi so can't comment. read more

Even when I bring friends and family who don't usually eat sushi or similar dishes, they end up loving it. Check it out!

This takes nothing from J&Y that gives a few small pieces of cheesecake on orders over $30 and a free roll on orders over $40. Hiko is a small, mostly take out restaurant with a few tables that people can wait for their food. They also have hibachi meals without the fair of the flying shrimp or flaming onions. Online they have a save $10 with an order over $40. Their prices are good along with their food. They have some very unique sushi rolls such as Nemo, Maryland, Strawberry, Checkerboard. They are very friendly, though the only person I have dealt with is the sushi preparer. Give them a try. Keep them all in business.

This is some of the freshest sushi I have ever had in this area!…read more Food: 5/5 I could not highlight more how fresh the fish tastes. The sushi in this area is mostly average, but this is comparable to the fresh servings I've had in Maui. Please go try the sushi. We also got the seafood pancake, which was not greasy and delicious, but noticed there wasn't as much seafood as I have seen in other seafood pancakes, more chives (which was still yummy). Miso soup and house salad was provided without us ordering it, unsure if it comes with every meal. Service: 5/5 no-frills service, food came out fast and no issues! Ambiance: sushi bar seats and tables for 4-6 people. Parking is fine, was not busy when we went. Soft music in the background. Bathroom was roomy and clean.

Nora’s Grill & Bistro

I loved the choices for lunch here recently, both the cuisine and the pricing. However, something…read moreseems wrong at Nora's. They're pretty much was no heat on a very cool late fall day. I would estimate the air temperature in the restaurant at not much above 60°. If they're having a heating problem they should be closed. Again the food was delicious. Both of us got the shawarma salad plates and they were great and also an excellent value. Service was slow even though only few tables were populated, but that wasn't what was bugging me. It was simply too damn cold in the place. They need to fix that or close until they do. Usually I would give this five stars just on the food itself as well as the value, but I'm subtracting a star and a half for the heat and a half star for the service. Assuming this was an aberration, I plan to return. We shall see.

I will preface this that I have high expectations for food. I love Mediterranean food and was…read moredisappointed that this place missed the mark. Pom-Born Kabob The pomegranate sauce gave it a bold vinegary taste. I appreciate that it was cooked order, however, the meat wasn't allowed to rest to room temperature before cooking so the middle was cold. For the price of $16 I expected more than three pieces of kebab. Lamb Gyro The lamb meat was very dry. The ratio of cold toppings to warm or hot lamb meat was very off leaving the Gyro cold. The slices of lamb meat were so thin if I folded my receipt paper, it would be bigger than what was served. Very disappointing. Tzatziki sauce had an odd flair to it, I can't quite pinpoint the taste. It was overpowered by something. I couldn't tell if it was the garlic or the dill seeds. I've had better blended and tasteful tzatziki sauce. Coppa 3 Chocolates Very pretty to look at for presentation. $8.50 is a bit of a high price point. It was overly sweet. I was surprised at the crunchiness to it, like a wafer was put in between one of the layers. It was OK. Service Great customer service. Very cute decor on the inside and plenty of tables to sit inside or out, if you'd like. While, this didn't feed my soul, maybe it feeds yours ?

I came here for my birthday and was so disappointed. I was excited to enjoy authentic Mexican food and the tiktok my daughter showed me did a good sale. I drove an hour out of the way and first saw the food sitting out that looked kind of cold and dry. We chose to get the tacos and carnes asada and was informed by the waitress the prices are different from what was on the menu. I asked for a tequila drink and it had mostly ice and tasted more like water than anything. The tortillas were dry and cracked to the point we couldnt even eat with them. The only good thing was the decoration. The worst part was the huge guy in the front of the restaurant. When the bill returned much higher than three plates and a drink should cost, he refused to proved a itemized receipt and also refused to let us speak to the waitress. Luckily, she came by and resolved a least some of the discrepancies. He was rude and said there are many more customers and that we are one of many.
