    Came in for lunch on a Saturday when they first opened. Friendly staff. I'd like to return to try some of their specialty rolls. I was with my 2 young daughters so only got to try shrimp shumai, edemame, California roll and shrimp tempura roll. Everything was standard and not out of this world but they were also basic stuff so I'd def come back again and try some different rolls

    I've largely been tepid on Kyoto Sushi over the years; I had a sit-down dinner there maybe six or seven years ago that was hit or miss (Kyoto Roll was really, really good, but the Godzilla Roll had a few fishy bites, which is the kiss of death for me, sushi-wise), and I avoided it for a while. That's also partly due to discovering Kenko Sushi in Lincoln Park, which is the best sushi I've ever had and puts pretty much everything else to shame. Since COVID, I've started ordering lunch here from time to time for pickup. It's a quick drive and with a little firsthand knowledge of the parking lot layouts nearby, you can easily avoid the drama on Route 23 if needed. In terms of service, you're obviously not dealing with waitstaff when picking up, but I haven't had to hang out awkwardly in the restaurant for ages waiting for my pre-ordered food to arrive - that aspect of the experience had been consistently solid, and the girl behind the register is always pleasant. Over the past few months, I've been ordering sweet potato ($5) and salmon & avocado ($6.95) rolls. Both have been decent for the most part, especially the salmon/avocado. Once, the sweet potato wasn't cooked enough, and another time there was an overly crunchy layer that was tough to chew through, but 90% of the time it's been fine. I also tried the sushi pizza appetizer with spicy tuna ($8.95) a few weeks ago - a wee bit messy but very tasty. My opinion of Kyoto overall hasn't changed too much from my first experience, but I've adjusted my expectations as well. At the risk of beating a dead horse, if you're really famished and want to go balls to the wall with special rolls, I'd head up 23 to Kenko, but the regular rolls do the job here - there's no shame in ordering from a place that is a solid double versus a guaranteed home run.

    Horrible service at this location in Cedar Grove, came in on Saturday** with my family (entire place was empty) and the service was so horrendous that we walked out. I'm glad I did because I shared our experience with my neighbor and they mentioned they had food poisoning after ordering food here. We left and went to Miga sushi in Livingston. Took another 15 minutes but the food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful! Highly recommend this place instead.

    Great spot, great service, always happy and quick to see you. I have been here a couple times and my favorite is the Spicy California Roll dinner (great price) and the Chicken Tempura Roll. The Hibachi Noodles were very good too. Tonight I got the Fantasty Roll, it was good. Not my favorite, I wish the mango was sweeter but it is not their fault. I also wish the roll had a bit more of a kick to it and something to mellow it out like cucumber or avocado maybe. I just prefer the Chicken Tempura rather than this Roll. I got the Steamed Pork Gyoza and they were great, filling is juicy and outside is nice and soft. One of my new favorites. (Of course I had to get the strawberry soda to go along with this meal!!) Overall, great spot and a classic go-to I can rely on.

    Kani salad
    Jessica R.

    Even with the reviews, I highly underestimated this place. We ordered the steak hibachi, kani salad, and beef negimaki and wow everything was so good. The environment is nice as you can tell a lot of locals visit. We sat for inside dining and everything came out quickly as well. We will certainly be back.

    Fresh and delicious seafoods and wait staff is most attentive. My hubby loved their soup udon minus the chicken.

    I went into Kyoto with a friend for lunch on a weekday. She's been going there for years, but it was my first time. I definitely enjoyed my experience! The food was good and fresh and the restaurant itself is very comfortable. The thing I think was most memorable was The variety of cold appetizers they offered. There were things like sushi tacos sushi pizza stuffed tuna appetizer... It was all very unique interesting. if i could've gotten it all I would have! I'll definitely return :)

    I'd call Kyoto Sushi a fairly standard sushi restaurant. There's seating for about 16 I'd say, with a lot of takeout going on. I visited recently and was treated very nicely. The sushi I ordered was fresh and delicious. I didn't try anything overly exotic, but fresh and delicious is enough to satisfy me in the sushi realm. I would recommend Kyoto Sushi III for very casual dining or takeout.

    Our favorite go to sushi place in our new neighborhood. We order online and pick up in store. Unless there's a rush, it's always ready on time. There is parking lot to park in when picking up so that helps. I always get the vegetarian sushi- sweet potato, vegetarian and honey peanut and avocado rolls with a side of spicy mayo. I would highly recommend Kyoto Sushi to anyone looking for a good sushi place near Cedar Grove.

I went with the 12 piece Omakase without Eel and enjoyed every piece (no soy sauce or wasabi, just chefs choice). My husband loved the Umai Big Special roll. Service was great. No rushing like many NJ restaurants and very helpful servers. Our high top table was right next to the sushi bar so we could see and hear what was going on. Next visit I definitely want to be at the bar. The restaurant is small and intimate. Definitely lots of "regulars" with relationship with the owner/chef. He was very friendly to us from afar. I would love to be a regular, it's just too pricey for my weekly budget but definitely worth every penny. If you eat sushi in NJ you've got to try it. Plus there's a great video about the restaurant and owner I found online.

Sitting at the sushi bar, we were ready to EAT! Just absolutely loved every bite... most fish is flown in from Japan! The simplicity of each bite allows you to appreciate the freshness of the fish. Thankfully, we were the early seating, as the restaurant was packed by the time we were finished. Service was good and didn't rush us out the minute we ate the last bite... refreshing!

I love temaki! We started with shishito peppers with a smoked honey miso. I was curious to see how they did vegetarian options, so I went with five plant-based temaki. I'm hard-pressed to pick a favorite; each one was so delicious! -- avocado "toast" -- cucumber black sesame -- tofu chimichurri -- sweet potato tempura -- maitake truffle Our waiter was so nice and welcoming. She checked in on us and answered questions that we had about the menu. That kind of genuineness and hospitality always makes the dine-in experience a notch above. I hope to return again soon.

Pro tip: theres a parking deck right across the street behind the bike store! You can cross through the lit up alley pretty safely there.
