We did the all you can eat option, and felt like kings ordering a bunch of sushi. Our favorites: Number 9 roll Spider roll Volcano roll Chicken fried rice was amazing. Could skip on dumplings. Save room for the vanilla ice cream! Rolls are huge. Water was yummy. It's a little loud in there but we could still hear each other. Quick service, and the non all-you-can-eat tables had a cat robot delivering sushi read more

Had a great night out for my daughter's birthday. Enjoy hibachi with steak and lobster. It was good but my medium steak was a bit overcooked, I ate it anyway. The salad was tasty but didn't care for the miso soup. They offered my daughter a piece of mango mousse cake. They even have a fancy robot that helps deliver food. Almost like living in the future. Try it out, you'll even have some to take home. I heard they have all you can eat for $33 which a good deal. read more

Really, really poor quality food -- even for $20 AYCE lunch. Service was friendly and quick, but I have no idea why this place has positive reviews regarding the food. I've been to most of the AYCE spots around town, and never had such poor quality food. Even the fried rice was bad. Spicy tuna, was not spicy tuna. Shrimp tempura, was cold -- and bad. Salmon nigiri was barely chewable. Seriously, would never recommend this place even for a quick lunch. The best item I had was the miso soup... Check came and it said $0.00. I had to mention to my server that there was no price. read more

Went out to Kyoto for sushi. Been here e few time. This visit was exceptionally good. Everything was super fresh and hot and exactly how you want to be. The server was friendly as always and I love watching the little robot come bring out your food! Even when it's busy, the booths give you a nice secludedness to enjoy your food. My favorite was the Little wings. And I love tempura shrimp so lots of rolls!! read more

My favorite place for delicious all you can eat sushi at an affordable price point! The menu is large and offers up something for everyone. They have a lunch and dinner all you can eat special that includes appetizers, rice, udon noodles, teppanyaki, nigiri, maki rolls, temaki, ice cream etc. Even if you are not a fan of sushi you will be able to enjoy a meal with the people in your group that do! Don't let the Har Mar Strip mall shop fool you from the outside! The staff is super friendly and the robot servers that help out are so fun! Pro tip: go with a group so you can try everything on the menu! read more

I am officially done with all locations of Kyoto Sushi. We had mediocre food at another location a year or two ago and I thought I'd never visit one of their restaurants again. I should have stuck with that plan, but we were craving sushi today and were near this one, so we went. Service was good. Food was okay, but not great. If this had been a $12.99 all-you-can-eat buffet, I'd say it was fine, but when you are out for a sushi meal for two with a bottle of wine that ends up costing over $!00, it is not okay. I have never had as much sushi as in the last few months, so I have a lot of experience. This was by far the poorest quality sushi I've had out of at least 20 sushi meals in that time. It is buffet-quality sushi but priced as high as the places that serve really good sushi. I should have learned my lesson before. Now I have. No more Kyoto Sushi for me. None of their locations. Never again. read more

Service is worth 5 stars! Our server was charismatic and attentive. We had the AYCE menu, and their salmon and escolar (white tuna) tasted the best out of all the nigiri options. Miso soup, shrimp tempura, dynamite roll, and eel roll stood out to me. Wish they had sashimi options for AYCE, but overall, it's an alright sushi place. read more

Came here on a Saturday for my birthday dinner and had such a great experience! The waitstaff was super friendly and attentive, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I honestly don't get the bad reviews because we loved it. The robot that delivers food was such a fun touch! The only thing I'll mention is that the menu was a little confusing. It says "all you can eat," but we were charged full price for our pork cutlets, rice bowl, and ice cream--so it seems like the all-you-can-eat part is just for sushi. Other than that, everything was fantastic and I'd definitely come back. read more

One of thee best sushi spots we've been to! Clean, peaceful, inviting, positive, atmosphere. We ate sushi until we couldn't eat another bite and then had some green tea ice cream, the perfect finish to a fabulous meal. Did I mention our waitress?!? The kindest, sweetest, most wonderful ball of light! We could not have asked for better service. She was perfect for us, so loving, friendly, and attentive, she made sure we were always happy and had everything we could want or need, she even sent me on my way with a fresh hot cup of green tea! I wish we asked her name, you'll know it's her bc she keeps a friendly smile on her face! Gratitude to her and the Kyoto chefs for a memorable and delicious lunch! read more

All you can eat sushi? I'm in! Say what you will about AYCE sushi restaurants... I personally love them. Sure the quality isn't quite as good but it's without a doubt edible and the flavors are always pretty solid. This particular location had kind of a weird atmosphere. It was trying to be fancy but missed the mark and just kind of looks old and dumpy. Nevertheless it was clean at least. Our server wasn't exactly the friendliest person ever nor was she very attentive. It was a bit tough flagging her down for most of our lunch visit. Food is good. Don't go in expecting super high quality fish and you will find yourself pleased I feel. If the service was just a better this would be 4 stars! @danny_runsforbeer read more

If you're craving a ton of sushi for around $25 on a weekday, Kyoto Sushi is a great spot for unlimited sushi. For the price, it's hard to beat. That said, the quality isn't top-tier--the rolls tend to have a lot of rice and not as much fish, which feels like they're trying to fill you up quickly. A better rice-to-fish ratio would definitely improve the experience. Still, it's unlimited sushi, and that alone makes it worth considering. The service is consistently solid, with quick refills and attentive staff. Seating inside is pretty accessible and there's usually enough room to get comfortable. read more

Terrible food. Will never eat here again. Save your money. The miso soup is like bath water. Any positive reviews are from people who just got covid and can't taste or smell. Shocking to see anyone consider this stuff edible. I've had better sushi from a gas station. read more

Very open layout which makes things feel more noisy/busy. It is neat to be able to see the cooks putting together sushi rolls and such. Server was speedy, attentive, and friendly, no issues there! The food left a fair amount to be desired. The prices are low, and portions large, but you absolutely sacrifice taste for this. The shrimp tempura appetizer lacked any seasoning, which lead to it feeling bland and greasy, rather than tasty and crunchy. The Kyoto roll is as advertised, and tastes fine, but the ingredients seem mis-proportioned (lots and lots of crab vs anything else) The robots delivering food are quirky for sure, but watching them get stuck and need intervention by staff is a bit awkward. This is definitely personal preference, but I don't like the detached nature of taking my food from a clunky robot. read more

Nice restaurant, good sushi - located inside a dumpy mall - 4 stars. THE MALL: This was my latest adventure with a Kyoto location, one that I've never visited before. The first thing I noticed is the mall itself is pretty crappy. The restaurant is on the north end of the mall, inside the mall itself. The very first thing I saw (when I pulled into the lot), was a police vehicle loading an arrested suspect into the squad car. The next thing I noticed was the sad state of the exterior...cigarette butts all over the place in puddles, exterior siding in disrepair, and a dirty greasy utility door with 2 people smoking cigarettes by the restaurant entrance. Yuck, yuck, yuck! FOOD: The food was exactly what I expected - good. I know Kyoto is a chain but I think they usually do a good job. I ordered 3 sushi rolls and they were good, bursting with flavor and arriving with a beautiful presentation. SERVICE: As usual, the service was impeccable. My server was completely on top of everything, attentive, and friendly. CLEANLINESS: The restaurant seems to be clean. I checked out the restroom and everything was good there...no nasty surprises. The décor is nice too. I couldn't help but day dream and wonder what this space used to be in past decades. It's huge with super high ceilings and a weird geometric block wall behind the bar that looks like it used to be an old bowling alley wall or something from the 60s. Pretty cool. PRICES: The prices seem to be reasonable and in-line with similar sushi joints in the Twin Cities. LOW CARBOHYDRATE: It's easy to eat low-carb, keto, carnivore style at Kyoto. I avoid big piles of rice, huge noodle portions, added sugar, and anything that might be concealing crappy "vegetable seed oils". I might have gotten some in the yum yum sauce and the spicy tuna roll but I think it was pretty minimal...I hope. Of course, you can get a few animal based hot "kitchen" appetizers and also a couple of the soups. I'd go back again any time. Thumbs up. - Maxx read more

Kyoto Sushi in Roseville offers a solid sushi experience, but nothing that stands out as extraordinary. The sushi is fresh, and the variety on the menu is decent, though some rolls feel a bit basic in terms of flavor. If you're looking for standard options like California rolls or spicy tuna, they do the job well enough, if you want something of their best quality I would recommend the tempura shrimp and some of their special rolls. What really elevates the experience is the service. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making sure you're well taken care of throughout the meal. It's a pleasant dining atmosphere, with a lot of noise and very busy. We had to wait about half an hour before we could get seated. Definitely plan ahead and be sure to bring extra room for dessert! read more

The reviews for Kyoto Sushi are such a wide range that I can't make heads or tails of it. Our experience was pretty banal: we came in, got seated, did the All You Can Eat, and worked our way through some rolls. Nothing was a stand out, but nothing was bad either. The tempura came out steaming fresh, the various rolls (Volcano, Sakura, Pizza, a few others) were good enough for our expectations, the service was friendly and attentive. All in all, a decent sushi place from our experience. read more

Is the food here amazing? No.... Is it all you can eat? Yes! You definitely all about quantity than quality here. The food is nothing amazing but it's decent for all you can eat. I honestly do visit often which is why I give it 4 stars. The menu is pretty big and they do offer a big selection. Unlimited Nigiri & Sashimi is a plus! The space is pretty huge compared to the Lyndale location. There's also parking so that's a plus. As for the service, it really depends. Sometimes it's great and sometimes it's not. They are pretty good at remembering what you ordered. Overall, it's pretty fine for all you can eat. read more

We had great service, a very attentive waiter kept coming back as we ordered little plates of everything a little bit at a time to see how full we were and see what we liked and wanted more of. We liked the curry beef (although breaded), udon noodles with chicken had amazing flavor, chicken teriyaki sushi (weird so I had to order it) , shu mai (little lamb dumplings), tobiko (fish egg sushi) and green tea ice cream. The all you can eat dinner price was $33 a person. The ambience is big loud room. The food came out at the perfect tempo and at the proper temperature. Our water glasses were kept full and out mounds of plates were taken away fairly promptly. We had fun trying random things we wouldn't have tried otherwise. Lunch might a better deal for the all you can eat. Give it a try! read more

Food tasted like shit. Dishes weren't washed properly I could rub off old smudges!. employees look like they were annoyed .

The food is very overpriced, and none of the servers spoke English, which became an issue when we attempted to order and ask questions about the menu in general, and food allergies etc. The food was low quality. Additionally, one of the members of my party got food poisoning from one of their dishes. I informed the restaurant politely, with the main goal of preventing anyone else from contracting food poisoning. Upon calling, the staff member did not speak English and could not understand what I was attempting to communicate. He said the manager would give me a call back, yet the manager never called. Overall, the exceptionally high pricing is not reflected in the food or the service. They charge you as if this is a high end restaurant, yet provide poor service and food that is not prepared properly (resulting in food poisoning). read more

This is my go to all you can eat sushi place. It has good service and a large variety in the all you can eat menu. The sushi quality isn't incredible, but that's pretty standard for all you can eat places. I think it's good enough, but I wouldn't buy it a la carte. read more

I was invited here for a group birthday celebration. The one-price-per-person made it easy to split the bill, and the restaurant was well-equipped to handle our party of nine. We started with an assortment of sushi, rolls, tempura, and noodles to start with, put everything in the middle of the table, and shared, being careful not to order too much. They will charge you if you order excessive amounts and waste it--and you can always ask for more. A good strategy is to order a few things, see what you like, and get additional servings of the good stuff. Very festive and fun. Service was friendly and lightning fast. It wasn't the greatest sushi/tempura I've ever had, but it was good and worked well for our big group. I think the basic price is $39 per person. With tax and gratuity (automatically added for our large party) it came to about $44 each. read more

In terms of their sushi, I wouldn't rate it very high. In my opinion there are plenty of better options for sushi. Granted I've only ever gone for all you can eat so I'm sure they aren't generous on the fish/other pricier ingredients to still make money for AYCe, but in general the sushi is incredibly mediocre to just not worth it. However if you're looking for a decent price for AYCE sushi and appetizers, their weekday lunch price is a great deal. For around $21-$22 including tip you can have unlimited rolls, appetizers, and certain entrees which makes it pretty worth for an average hungry person. I personally think their appetizers and fried udon are the most worth it and would rather get those over sushi. Their tempura is pretty well made, favorites are the shrimp tempura and sweet potato tempura. Favorite roll is their snow mountain roll and favorite dish is their beef fried udon. If you're looking for an nice sushi place, you might want to look elsewhere. If you're looking for a lot of food at a decent price point, the weekday AYCE is not a bad idea. read more

Previously I've eaten at Kyoto Sushi in Coon Rapids, Maple Grove (now called Akame Sushi), and Minneapolis. Yesterday I visited the one in Roseville. I arrived just after 1:00 p.m. and learned their AYCE lunch menu ends at 2:00 but could finish eating beyond that time. For the most part I was pleased. The food was good. Service is OK. One thing I didn't care for was no background music except from the kitchen. It looked like a crime drama or science fiction program played on a flat screen TV. Some authentic Asian music would improve the ambience there. read more

Nothing nice to say about this place. Stopped here during lunch with my husband very hopeful based on the reviews on google. But boy was I disappointed. The food quality is low. The nigiri is warm and does not taste fresh at all! I am not sure why others are reviewing this place and giving it high stars. The service was decent. Our waiter came by a couple of times and she was friendly. The place is outdated and could use some cleaning if we're being honest. It was busy for lunch, with faint music in the background and Harry Potter playing on a projector. Management really needs to reconsider the menu options and quality of food. I will definitely not be back. read more

Great variety of sushi and other Japanese cuisine! Service is pretty solid, but can get sometimes overwhelmed when the place gets crowded!

****food poisoning (more details towards the end) Although I rated this place very low, I would come back to try their non-sashimi/raw fish items such as their fried rice, fried dishes, noodles, and specialty rolls. On a Thursday evening, my friend and I decided to dine-in for their AYCE sushi option (~30/person). The wait was only 20 minutes but I would recommend getting a reservation ahead of time since the restaurant closes at 9pm. I am a huge sashimi and sushi lover. I read the reviews before coming here and had low expectations for the quality and taste (but who doesn't love all you can eat places???). However, I was pleasantly surprised by my experience here. The establishment was clean and had a great atmosphere and bar area for date nights. Every server I interacted with was very kind and patient. I tried almost all of the sashimi they offered and found the selection to be interesting and tasteful (I've never had Tilapia or Escobar sashimi before!). My favorite dishes were the fried scallops and the specialty rolls (highly recommend the Sakura Roll). The dipping sauce for the fried Dumplings were also a major plus. The menu had a variety of options I don't often see at other AYCE restaurants such as different selections of fried rice, noodles, soups, and other dishes. Which is great because I would not be coming back for their sashimi. Although, I had no issues taste-wise with the sashimi- my friend and I ended up getting food poisoning after eating here. My friend was impacted a lot more than I was and had symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, chills, sweats, fatigue, and aches. I luckily only got by with nausea and abdominal discomfort. Overall, I don't think the quality justifies for how expensive this dinner was ($64.40 for 2 people) but would recommend trying their other stuff. Although proceed with caution when trying anything raw from Kyoto as myself and other reviewers have experienced cases of food poisoning. read more

*ASK FOR THE DINNER MENU* We tried this restaurant today. Service was quick & kind. Cleanliness was average. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Food was alright. We went during lunch hours and their lunch menu is very limited. Little did we know, you can ask for the dinner menu, get many more options and just pay for the dinner price. Nigiri has way too much rice. Sashimi is only offered for the dinner price. Funniest thing is that they do not present the sashimi very well at all (photo included). Udon is soooo plane & it's a dry dish. We got the seafood udon and they put 3 shrimp only. Ramen is super plane also. Not worth your stomach. read more

Kyoto Sushi - Sashimi (not presented well) but tasted fine - Japanese Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

My friends and I have made this our regular spot when we meet up for dinner. We go during the week for AYCE and it's usually not very packed so we can sit there for a while and catch up. All of the servers have been great and attentive. The sushi is good but will not blow your mind but remember, the price will! AYCE menus are great because it allows you to try different foods and you don't get stuck with a massive entree so no worries if it's not up your alley. We also tend to share dishes so that also helps us be adventurous. My usuals from a few category are the following: Deep fried - scallops, dumplings Sashimi - salmon Sushi with rice - unagi, spicy salmon Maki - kyoto roll, caterpillar Hand rolls - shrimp tempura, spicy salmon, cucumber avocado roll, salmon roll, avocado roll Ice cream - green Tea or strawberry (or both!) I tend to gravitate away from deep fried rolls in general but my friends that order them are always pleased. They offer beer, wine, sake, and pop. We learned one day it's a very generous portion of sake so we all ended up drinking the sake! Parking lot available and easy to find spots in. They offer beer, wine, sake, and read more

Met friends here for dinner- there is a strong fishy odor which isn't a good sign at a sushi place- but I tried to avoid anything explicitly raw. The menu for all you can eat is large, there is a ton of options. I liked most of what I tried, some of the stuff we ordered never came and we were also delivered items we hadn't ordered. I would go back, we had fun trying new items. Skip the chicken teriyaki Try the Dynamite roll that was my fav read more

Honestly I think us Yelpers get a bit crazed with our expectations sometimes. This is the one time I guess I'm coming back to earth and realize that this place is an AYCE establishment, as in we should be comparing this place to Teppanyaki (Fridley), Hibachi (Spring Lake Park), Royal Buffet (Burnsville), and in this case we're in Roseville, so there's Great Dragon (St. Anthony), Panda Gardens (Roseville), and Great Moon (Columbia Heights). The first three serving authentic fare and the latter three being 100% American-Chinese. There's also India Palace in Roseville that's AYCE. I wanted to make this clear as my review is not basing this place as a Sushi restaurant, compared to places such as the late Origami (which was my fav), Masu, Sakura, Sanji-ya, Fuji-ya, Tiger, etc etc. You get the point. If the latter Sushi establishments were to offer an AYCE option, it would be $35-40/person today. Remember when Ichiban tried that with the sushi river concept? And do we remember how it went for them? Right. The food quality started to slide in earnest. And...There is no longer an Ichiban. And they were charging $30. This was like 15-20 yrs ago. So if I closed my eyes and imagined a mall restaurant like Big Bowl or PF Chang's serving a 5-course Bento meal, starting with miso soup, then with cold plates like maki rolls, hand rolls, and nigiri. Follow that up with all the tempura you want like shrimp, scallop (albeit imitation), squid, veggies. Now comes the hot plates with your choice of Udon, Ramen, or Teppanyaki fried rice, with a side of Teriyaki meat of your choice. Now that you're stuffed like a duck cap it off with either green tea or red bean ice cream. All this for the same price as a meal at Old Country Buffet. Ok now would you complain that it doesn't taste like Masu?? BTW I just listed what I ordered in the order I wanted it. You can have all this anyway you want, literally no limitations...have Ramen AND Don rice bowls, or all sushi. Whatever suites your fancy. It's all very edible, and it's a fun experience. I would say it's tops for AYCE sushi compared to the big buffets like Teppanyaki and Hibachi. Ok well if you skipped the fried "scallops" you wouldn't be missing much. Be sure to get the Eel fried rice. If you haven't tried Japanese food before this is a great way to try it all. What's great is that the formula is working, and all that without needing a sushi river. And may my OG favorite Japanese stops like Origami, Ichiban, Kikkugawa, Tanpopo, and Obento-ya R.I.P. read more

No better deal than just over $20 with a tip for all you can eat! I typically stick to sushi, shrimp tempura, and the vanilla bean ice cream but they have a large menu with tons of other things from udon noodles, edamame, hand rolls, etc. We came on a busy Friday afternoon and there was almost every table full. The server could've been a bit more attentive and she forget a few things (never got a fork requested twice, forgot soda request twice, walked away before our table finished out order). We could tell she was busy though and would check in when time allowed - she was nice enough. The food was 10/10 - can't beat it for the cost! Random but I'm pretty sure the soda was not fountain, no biggie but nothing beats a fountain drink. Dinner menu for all you can eat is more expensive (still great deal) and has more options so check out menus before. If you're a sushi fan, run don't walk to Kyoto! read more
