Sushi restaurants live and die on the freshness of the fish . We both ordered a sushi sashimi roll combo. Excellent fresh tender perfection. Good selection of premium sake. A very memorable dinner. Maybe they get their fish delivered on Wednesday? read more

The food was great especially the onion soup has a ton of flavors. The one thing that wasn't so great was the door in the bathroom was broken meaning that even when it is locked on the inside, the people outside could still unlock it and it feels scary. read more

We went to Kyoto to celebrate our granddaughter's 11th birthday. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the hibachi chef was so entertaining! He made it a really fun and memorable experience! He even got our grumpy 4 year old grandson laughing! Thank you for a lovely evening! read more

The food was good the waitress could've been more attentive instead of us having to flag her down for what we need like napkins and a refill. The price with the amount of food you get. Don't think I will be coming back to pay $30 for that little bit of steak. read more

Kyoto - Steak and Shrimp - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yakima, Washington

The staff is very friendly and the ambiance can't be beat. I usually go for lunch during the week so it's not so crowded. The sushi is great quality and the rolls are made with care. One of my favorite dishes is the beef ramen. Every meal for the most part is reasonably priced and the quality can't be beat. read more

I ordered via DoorDash for pick up, everything was nicely presented. The salad was a little sad and there were a few pieces of lettuce that were less than appealing looking sitting right on top but I just picked those out. The soup was 11/10, very flavorful and delicious and stayed super hot even though it wasn't consumed right away. The sushi tasted fresh and delicious. There was one roll that was covered in crunchies and sauce that I couldn't identify and just looked a little messy but tasted good. Taking off a star for the service itself. I think it was the owner but he greeted me right when I arrived, told him I was there for a pick up, he hurriedly said it was getting ready (even though the email I got said it was ready?) then rushed over to the bar to talk to the bartender who I'm assuming is new and proceeded to talk down to her. The other person who helped me after him really didn't seem like she knew what was going on and I don't think she normally worked in that particular role or something. Someone from the kitchen came up with the soups and salads which would have entirely been missed, even though I had no idea my order came with that. I'm glad it did, that soup was really good. The person from the kitchen packed everything for me, I asked them if they had a tip jar and the cash tip I left was put in a secured drawer. Hopefully the staff gets those. I'm not from the area so I can't really say I'd be back. But from the sounds of the people in the hibachi area, it appeared to be a good time. read more

Kyoto - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yakima, Washington

The servers at this restaurant are the most attentive and friendly in the entire town. If I was only rating the servers, they'd have five stars. Our experience with the hibachi grill was that we really enjoyed the food. I recommend not getting the tempura, sadly. It was flavorless in the batter, and the vegetables were not cooked well. I think taro and pumpkin were some of the offerings, and they weren't my favorite. The teriyaki was alright. Fried rice was ok. We love the onion soup. The salad had far too much dressing on it. It was swimming. I have no idea how the quality of the sushi was, as I'm truly unqualified to judge sushi. read more

We have frequented this restaurant since it opened and wanted to leave a review as I was surprised by the negative reviews. It is so nice having this option for dining in Yakima. We consistently have received great service, and the food is comparable to any other hibachi restaurant we have been to including Benihana, Mizu, Shogun, etc. Coming out of covid, the service was slower but that seems to have resumed to regular paced dining and the last several times we thought the portions were larger than in the past. It is a fun place to come with a group, to celebrate, or if you just want a little entertainment with your meal. read more

The food was magnificent and so good the service was amazing I would go here so many times a little pricey but not that bad at all for a hibachi place you should go here for birthdays or just to eat they have a restaurant or hibachi or sushi place go here read more

Good sushi, good server! Cold Sapporo! We will be back! I have been looking for some good rolls since moving over from T town, this is the place! read more

I really like this restaurant. It's not fair for me to give stars as it's NOT 5-stars by any means but 2-3 stars isn't fair either. The staff (servers, manager, Itamae) are so nice. Food is good too. I always get the same thing the salmon or scallop lunch that is served on a hot skillet. The dressing for the salad is good as is the soup. If you want a decent meal and maybe some of your party wants sushi as well I really recommend this place. read more

Came and tried this place out again... worst decision of my life. Our server whose name was "lala" was so incredibly rude. waited 30 minutes to finally get my water refilled because our server kept walking past us and not helping. Finally after 45 minutes of waiting and having to go find our server our order was put in. then after over an hour of being there our food comes and it was cold and embarrassing. i found a hair in my food and not to mention when i went to go get out waiter i seen in the kitchen them grabbing the salad with their bare hands to serve to customers. I tried speaking with the owner who could not give two shits about our issue and said he would "talk to the staff" which was a lie because immediately after he was laughing with them while our server was giving us dirty looks and laughing at us. I didn't feel welcomed there and wanted to leave and didn't even eat my food yet i was still charged and left with nothing but an empty wallet and loss of appetite. If you value your money and have any taste buds. do NOT come here. read more

I've been to this place many times before and it's been good. Today was the worst! First of all... it's my mom's bday and she couldn't eat her food! Her hibachi chicken was drowning in sweet sauce and the rice was salty af! I shared this info with the owner and he just said "I'll talk to the chef" ok, well my mom's bday dinner was ruined, but ok. So I paid and walked out. Then it dawned on me that the bill seemed a too much for what we had for dinner. So I walked back in to get an itemized receipt and just as I expected I was charged an automatic gratuity for 3 people!! They acted surprised and apologized. Offered to give me a $25 gift card for future visits, but only if I left the $14 gratuity they charged me! I declined because in reality he was only giving me an extra $11 to return with a gift card. No thanks! Didn't offer a discount for the terrible food either. PEOPLE WATCH YOUR BILL SO YOU DONT GET ROBBED! I'm over this place and won't be returning. read more

Kyoto - Pork Shogayaki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Great food! Pork fried rice best ever had!!!! Reasonable prices and portions! Will be back!

The servers were really nice. The highlight was the fish appetizer that was like a poke. I can't remember the name, but it had chips standing in it. With those two ideas in mind, I've rated them higher than the meal would merit. The meat and seafood didn't seem fresh and were coated with a sugary glaze. I had scallops and my husband had the sukiyaki steak and vegetables. For a small town it's commendable to have some variety, but this isn't near the quality I've had before. read more

I love this place for a night out. Perfect date place or place for special occasions. My family has spent Christmas Eve dinner here doing the hibachi experience and it was busy but so fun. The food is wonderful, huge portions. The fried rice is a favorite in our family, especially with the yum yum sauce. Service is decent. I love the dark ambience. read more

Very overpriced for what you get. The quality was below average and the portions were embarrassing. Stopped in Yakima just for the night and made the wrong decision stopping here. Hope it improves drastically. read more

Kyoto - two trays of sushi and chopsticks - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Our chef was new and made lots of mistakes. He over cooked the lobster and the shrimp. My husband choked on his lobster and threw up on his plate. Sorry to be gross, but you can see how much food was wasted and they asked if we wanted a box for it. We said he threw up on his plate. Other people at our table verified. After arguing for 10 minutes they finally took his meal off the bill. Won't be back. read more

Kyoto - Steak, lobster, shrimp and fries rice. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yakima, Washington

This review is based solely on a takeout lunch experience, but based on it felt like I got a good feeling for the spot. Upon entering it feels very much like you're going into an old-school hibachi restaurant. Appropriate decor, A little bit of a wait before somebody realizes you there, but ultimately worth hanging around four. A couple of us got bento boxes, both with chicken teriyaki. It was a solid meal for something like $10 and when we ordered out it was ready as soon as we got there. The Bento box was excellent with just the right amount of rice, a nice couple pieces of sushi, some delicious orange and some surprisingly delicious onion soup - don't think Cold War Russia type soup, think French onion without the cheese and bread! The box was a good amount of food and didn't have an overwhelming amount of rice. Strong to quite delicious! Based on this experience, I'm excited to come back and try and more options, especially around dinner time. read more

Came in one evening, we had the chicken teriyaki bento box. Was a ton of food firstly. Came with a salad and soup. Also a bunch of fried veggies. The chicken teriyaki itself was not so good, kinda tough or chewy. Sushi was good. Service is ok. I like the darker setting this restaurant has with the dark wood. read more

Kyoto - Samurai roll. Fancy rainbow roll and triple crown roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Came on a Saturday at about 8 pm. Service was terrible. Hostess was running around like a maniac. We had to go find our waiter. Food: Ordered 3 rolls. Volcano Roll with tuna was good. Spider roll with crab was good. Samurai roll bad (shrimp) just all shrimp flavor lost in all the toppings. Drinks: most expensive glass of wine is $8.00 Do not order wine here. Kendall Jackson. Sake-pear sake was decent. Waiter never came back. Had to pay up front. Even the hostess said you are better off to order take out on a Friday or Saturday.... read more

I took my client here once about two weeks ago. She loved it. So this is our second visit. My client is an elderly woman who' uses an extra large wheelchair. The staff is so pleasant here and accommodating. The two sets of double doors. Do not have the handicap switch but I have had no problem getting help with the doors. On our last visit. I'm a male my client is female. The staff was kind enough to watch the bathroom door so another guest didn't get surprised to find me in there. Her chair barely fits through the bathroom door but doesn't fit through the handicap stall. At this visit we sat at the sushi counter. This was her first time trying sushi she loved it. We got only the cooked sushi due to her many health issues. The staff behind the counter talked with her a little and gave her the remote so she can watch the game. This place is so accommodating it's hard to believe that people can be so nice. This makes it memorable for her and fir me highly recommend. read more

Horrible' waited over a hour for a drink. Had to go to server and ask for our drink. They finally came sucked horribly! Food was over cooked and not good would not recommend! read more

The food is outstanding but the service and wait has drastically decreased the last few years. Tonight was probably the last straw for our family. They took us back to seat us but didn't have space where they wanted to seat us (counted wrong), then when we were seated, it took an hour and a half before our chef came out, more than a hour after our orders were placed. There were only six of us. Our drinks were never refilled, we were not checked on and other tables were seated after us but cooked for before us. We have supported Kyoto since it opened and placed takeout orders regularly during COVID, and are incredibly disappointed at the repeatedly worsening service. Again, the food is really wonderful but the other stuff is no longer worth it to us. read more

After years of one style of Asian eatery here in Yakima, it was time to expand and branch out. Kyoto accepted the challenge of breaking tradition by keeping the old and adding the Hibachi Grill experience. This evening, we enjoyed a Rainbow roll sushi and Hibachi Steak/Chicken. #besttimewithfriends After entering the building, there is a lounge waiting area to one side of the door and a martini bar on the other side. Beyond that is a sushi bar, two hibachi grill rooms, and a booth style dining room. They really kept tradition and added onto it. We sat at the Hibachi and order food from the sushi bar. I wanted to toss that in to share that just because it's Hibachi, doesn't mean sushi and other food can't be ordered from the menu. The food was great, the pricing is justifiable for the amount that comes with an order plus the prep of a chef right in front of you. Our chef this evening was funny, efficient, and skilled!! I'd love to elaborate here, however, it would ruin the show. :) read more

I had the vegetable hibachi and it was fresh and tasty. The waitstaff was friendly and our food was delivered quickly.

Sat at a hibachi counter. Food is very good and chefs very entertaining. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. The hibachi rooms are very large so when things got going the noise level wasn't conducive for conversation with anyone other than the person sitting right next to me. If you are looking for a place for a group, party, kids, entertainment it's great. The kids in our area had great fun with the chefs. Not recommended if you want a quiet evening with your partner or a couple friends. As an aside, for those of us wanting to find Lori who used to be a bartender at a restaurant down the road, she is the very visible GM here at Kyoto. Big bonus! read more

Kyoto - Hibachi Filet Mignon & lobster tail with fried rice & scallops - Sushi Bars Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Wanted to try them from day 1. However in my opinion Bland and boring food. Sexy sauce just a nasty house made sauce like an under flavoured thousand island, poured on shrimp and salmon washing out all potential flavor. SEAFOOD with no flavour = old SEAFOOD. Caution on fresh Sushi Menu Steak drowning in soy sauce, "for flavour". Even vegetables drowned with nasty Sexy Sauce. Only drinks reordered were only alcoholic and some of them returned due to spoilt flavour. No pops refilled Dishes piled up around me making it hard to eat, bus boy was random at best. Pretty disappointing for the hype and prices. Will not be back again dissapointing. Just another disappointing restaurant. Look on YELPERS. read more

This place was packed on a Friday night which is great however, they were vastly understaffed. We had to wait an hour from being seated until Chef Messy Messterton started flipping food around and splattering liquids on us. Our waitress took our drink order and then vanished never to be seen or heard from again. I hope she's ok. I'd give the food a B. It's not the greatest hibachi style restaurant but guess what Yakima, it's the only one in town so you're stuck with it. The couple beside us had to go to the bar for rounds two three and four. We all waited about 20 minutes after our meal was finished and had to ask for our check. I've been to other hibachi restaurants before that give you a heck of a lot more food. This place was just ok nothing great. read more

we love their hibachi and onion soups! I am lucky to have a man that gives me his soup cuz he knows it's my favorite. the sushi is fresh and always well prepared. We've been going here for a few years and havent been disappointed yet.
