Kyoto Japanese Restaurant

A Delightful Sushi Spot with Cozy Booths & Great Vibes! Stopped by this charming sushi spot last night, and it was a fantastic experience! The space is super cute, with cozy little individual booths that make for a comfortable and intimate dining experience. We started with the pickled vegetables, which were a fresh and tangy treat, and I loved their homemade soy sauce--it added such a unique depth of flavor to everything. For sushi, we had the Lobster Roll, Mars Roll, and Rainbow Roll, all beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The mussel shooters were a fun and flavorful addition to the meal. Despite it being a Monday night, the restaurant was lively and full of great energy. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making the experience even better. Can't wait to come back and try a Sake Martini!

Kyoto is one quintessentially unique japanese restaurant in salt lake. We loved the ambiance, seating is kind of japanese style. The variety of food they offer is great, service personnel were friendly and helpful. We loved their food and services

It was so sweet how they celebrated my birthday! Delicious food and wonderful service! Definitely in my top 5 favorite sushi restaurants in Salt Lake 🩵

I would give the sushi here a solid 3 stars. Very average, nothing exceptional at all, but not bad. None of the fish blew me away, grilled squid was just ok, and the rolls were just ok. Service was wonderful and the atmosphere is great, but I probably won't get sushi here again. I hear the hot dishes are wonderful, so I'll have to change my tune and come again.

I recently dined at this Japanese restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a major disappointment despite its appealing atmosphere and decor. The ambiance is inviting, with tasteful decoration that suggests a promising dining experience—but sadly, that’s where the positives end. The food was simply terrible. The rice used for the sushi was dry, bland, and completely lacked the delicate texture and seasoning that defines good sushi. Even worse, the ingredients tasted stale and far from fresh. Nothing we ordered resembled the quality or authenticity of real Japanese cuisine. Instead, the food felt like a poor imitation—overly Americanized, lacking depth, and full of shortcuts. Every bite reinforced that this place prioritizes appearance over substance. It's unfortunate that such a beautifully designed space is let down by such low-quality food. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Japanese fare. A truly disappointing experience overall.

I had dinner at Kyoto restaurant last night and had a pleasant experience. The greeting was warm, and there was seating available right away. The decoration was lovely, and the waitresses in traditional attire added a nice touch. The cleanliness was impeccable, with a nice smell throughout and clean bathrooms. The service was outstanding. The food was good but not particularly impressive, and the prices were average. Overall, a solid dining experience.

What a wonderful treat to have found this place! An amazing atmosphere that is only rivaled by Peggy and staffs' welcoming nature. Food is outstanding and presentation is even better. Best advice I could give for your first visit is to ask for Peggy's recommendations. You will not be disappointed. A must-try if you visit or live in the Salt Lake City area.

My wife made me come here... I'm sooooo glad she did. Our waiter Sean suggested the Chicken Beef Curry....I got that..It was AMAZING! My wife got the Katsudon. It's one of her favorites. I think I found my new favorite Japanese restaurant in SLC.
