What User likes about Kyoto:
The yakitori was cooked to perfection. Kyoto has been an experience each time that I’ve dined here. Make sure to try at least 3 4 rolls and a hand roll with some warm sake. During these Covid times the spaces are neatly separated for a safe atmosphere. If you’re dining out make sure to call far in advance so that you get your meal right on time. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Kyoto:
Friendly service and food was ok. We ordered fried Gyoza which were crispy and not oily. We also ordered 3 sushi rolls but the ahi in one didn't taste fresh. The booths are currently set up with plexiglass between them for COVID-19 compliance. They also have an outdoor tent dining. View all feedback.
