Kyoto

Very good food, but I want to shout out the staff. While I was there there was a horribly obnoxious woman who complained about every single dish and seemed to not be able to rest until everyone around her was as deeply miserable as she obviously was. The wait staff never stopped smiling, they never stopped trying to help. Amazing. I would've lost my mind.

Sooooooo, food was spot on. All we ate and ordered (and it was a lot), gyoza, sushi, salad, udon veggie was just perfectly balanced. Fresh ingredients, service was VERY attentive. Only thing I have to say is lights are too low, it’s too dim and the place is not very “Japanese”. Seats were super comfy, tables are solid. A true gem 💎 gotta go ♥️ (The food was finished so quickly I only took a picture of the last dish my friend ordered)

Great little restaurant, and perfect for a nice dinner! The sushi was so delicious 😋 The price was very reasonable, and my family and I completely enjoyed everything!

First time and I had the sashimi lunch and 2 roll lunch special. One with soup, other with salad. I had both, yes both and it was really good. I want to come back and try their other food and adjust rating, this is based on one lunch visit and it looks promising. I do like that their lunch specials come with some edamame. Please see pic.

I was shocked this place wasnt packed. Unbelievable solid Chirashi. Warm Sake. A+ Miso soup. Dragon and Sunny roll. Choice. Brooklyn, you are missing out if you are not frequenting here.

Good and always fresh food! Decent quality, especially compared to many other places. Nice customer service. Highly recommend.

Came here today for lunch which was incredible as they offer you the lunch special for sashimi for $13 with a salad or soup and it also comes with edamame and two pieces of shumai Even on the weekend. The fish tasted very fresh and the service was on point will definitely be coming back

Wow, Amazing place. Great food and customer service. Very affordable!!!!!

My first review was a general one outlining some of my favorite selections when I visited Kyoto through the years. Just this evening, I had the opportunity to refresh my memory and tastebuds with regards to their food. My opinion is a favorable one. Before I start, there is one important thing to note---their online delivery prices are $1.00 more than stated on the menu when you takeout in person. No idea why. We decided on having a maki roll semi-feast. Wait time was reasonable and unlike another business closer by to where I live, they pack all the necessary sauces, ginger and chopsticks. No aggravating debate over the phone about missing condiments, orders gone wrong, etc. This order included: *Garden salad--like most garden salads at Japanese restaurants where the lettuce leaves are green, fresh and including chunky cucumber slices with the best salad dressing--ginger carrot. *Steamed vegetable gyoza--thin skinned green dough with vegetable filling steamed to perfection. *Kyoto special roll--so good. This roll was Yellowtail, white tuna and tempura flakes, topped with eel, smoked salmon, avocado and caviar. *Salmon skin roll--always one of my favorites but their version had a little bit too much soy sauce drizzled on it *Seared Tuna with mango roll--another winner. Some other places might present this roll as a special one but it wasn't *Philly roll--not my selection but got 2 thumbs up *Spicy crunch salmon--received a favorable 2 thumbs up Their rolls are not puny and don't fall apart. The people are nice and efficient when putting an order together. I'll be more of a regular at Kyoto.

Not quite sure how this place got so many reviews , but it's not that greatest... Miso soup is diluted and the mayo in the rolls tasted old. The ginger seems like it has gone bad. Would not recommend, esp the lobster ball which is basically a ball of mayo. If I had to pick though, the best roll would be the Paradise Roll

Ordered from Kyoto today. Delivery took a little long but it was worth the wait. Its a great lunch deal, 2 rolls, edemame, shumai and salad! Im stuffed. Rolls had crunch with a hint of spice which i enjoy. The edemame were delicious and how can you not love fried shumai?! yummmm This is definately one of our new "go to" lunch spots!

Came here with my sister on a rainy night. We were the only ones there but we noticed they were prepping a lot of delivery orders. We both ordered the spicy maki combo $15 as well as a special roll (forgot the name) ~$13. The food came fast and the tasted very good. The tuna is surprisingly super fresh, I usually feel like tuna at other places taste fishy. The service was #1 in my book. The server came to ask us how everything was many times. She also made sure our water was always full. The only thing that startled me was the amount of fruit flies that were on the wall. Didn't notice them until we finished out meal and got up to leave. Other than that, this place was pretty good. The service is good and it's exactly what you would want ordering from a sushi place.

Good. Fast delivery and the lunch special gives a good size portion. Love the Shumai!

I had a serious hankering for late night sushi and HOLY MOLEY did Kyoto deliver! As they were close to closing, I was expecting something hastily thrown together, but what a got was a fresh and beautifully arranged platter of some of the neighborhood's best sushi. The "Kyoto Sushi for 2" included 2 generous rolls, 16 pieces sushi, and 2 miso soups all for around $50. I suggest picking up for maximum freshness and minimal jostling of your meal! Will be back! Like maybe tomorrow? :)

Love the soft shell crab tempura roll. I had it delivered and it arrived quickly. I was very happy.

Ordered delivery and it came right on time! And I didn't notice a price increase from the menu on their website and the one on seamless which was good. I hate price increase for online ordering. Prices are reasonable for most things, I got very basic sushi. 1 salmon and 1 tuna roll. 6 dollars each. It tasted fine nothing amazing, but it was basic. The ginger they had on the side wasn't my favorite. It was super sour pickled, more than others. But some people might like that best. They were also really nice on the phone when i called since seamless put in the wrong address. I would order again and try some more sushi!

I've never eaten in the restaurant but have ordered delivery multiple times and am always left satisfied. Sometimes you just need a solid sushi fix, or some miso soup when the spring/summer weather is somehow 50 degrees. This place doesn't disappoint. My go-to favorites are just the salmon avocado roll and the crunchy spicy salmon roll. Nothing fancy, just the basics, but that's all I need. There are six pieces to each roll, and they're $6 each. Plus, free delivery through Yelp (and they're always there by the estimated delivery time or earlier). I definitely recommend this place and will have to give it a try in the restaurant sometime soon!

Perfect place for dining alone on a random weekday. $10 lunch that includes 2 rolls, a soup, and some shumai. Its typically quiet during the day. I'd assume its popular for take-out orders. The fresh is fresh, and the food is affordable and sometimes that is all you need.

food was good, but the service needs polishing. I ordered my food for takeout and instead of handing it to me, I was told to go to the table adjacent to me to pick it up. this is not good customer service. Good customer service is actually taking the time to go to the game and turn around and hand me food to me, not telling me to go to the table and pick it up. I think if I was a different skin color I would have been treated in a more congenial manner.

Came in at 12:20 on a Friday. Place was open, but owner said takeout only cuz he had no server. I told him that yelp and Google show him as open from noon. He said "nothing I can do about that". I told him he just lost a customer. He didn't seem to care

This sushi place is such a solid spot especially for the price and quality of the fish. No wait time for dinner and the service was excellent. Cork fee for wine but 5 bucks. not bad! They do serve wine and beer from what I saw. The fish was really fresh and also the special rolls were all moderately priced. The service was very nice and checked in on us a couple times consistently pouring us water and tea. The special roll with the spicy tuna and seared tuna was excellent. It's also a good spot for takeout. They do a ton of business there!

I ordered takeout here (through yelp) and thought it was great. Prices were certainly reasonable. The sushi was prepared really well and the fish tasted very fresh. The rolls contained 6 pieces and were on the smaller size-- though I'd take this quality over larger pieces of lesser quality. I would certainly like to try this establishment in person. Delivery was within the time frame scheduled through the yelp app, but was still over an hour.

I ordered from here once before and had a successful delivery, beat me to my own door and sushi was p good. this time the sushi arrived like it had been sitting out for hours, salmon mushy. also was 1 hour 15 late. won't be ordering here again.

Great lunch special here. Came here with a friend for a quick bite and was quickly seated by a friendly waitress. I ordered the lunch special -- which came with 2 rolls of your choice (salmon avocado, crispy spicy tuna roll - 6 pieces each), 2 pieces of shumai, edamame, and miso soup or salad (I opted for the salad). Price ($10) was great for what you're getting. I thought the fish tasted fresh, and they didn't skimp on the portions of fish in each roll (AKA a great fish:rice ratio). Our waitress was very attentive to us throughout the short time I was there as well. Ambience was a little dark for my liking. There's a bathroom in the back. Overall, a great spot to check out if you're in the area. Nothing incredibly unique about this restaurant but in my opinion, you don't always need unique to do things well.

I'm pretty impressed by this Chinese owned Japanese sushi place, we originally wanted to go to Ki sushi but were told it'd be an hour wait & wAndered into here. Kyoto is a small space but warm and inviting, sushi bar had 3 hard at work sushi chefs that night and 2 frantic waiters running around, the place was pretty packed but luckily we got seated within minutes. We ordered 5 regular rolls, tuna, salmon, Philadelphia, yellowtail and scallion , salmon avocado & a "special roll" recommended by our server the princess roll, along with a bottle of plum wine. The rolls were great, fish was fresh, rice consistency was just right but we agreed the princess roll was too overbearing, my friend commented that these "special rolls" were probably for people who don't enjoy regular sushi. Great prices, nice servers, fresh sushi. I am a fan

Randomly came here with friends with a craving for fresh fish. So happy we stumbled on this secret gem. Sushi here is bomb!! 10/10 recommend.

Kyoto is my go-to sushi restaurant - I pick up a to-go order once, sometimes twice a week! The team is extremely friendly, always ensures my order is accurate, and goes above and beyond to prepare the items in a timely manner. Wish they would resume Monday hours because they really are the best. Thanks Kyoto Team - see you next week!

Kyoto is legit. I don't know why I've never eaten there before, but I'm glad I finally did. It's one of the mainstays on a stretch of Smith Street that's slowly dying. It looked like they were getting a lot of delivery orders, so I'm glad they're staying afloat. Their menu is less traditional than Ki down the street, but different isn't a bad thing! Plus, that allows you to order things like the tuna "dumplings", which is literally lobster salad and avocado wrapped in a thin slice of raw tuna shaped like a dumpling. Topped with some roe. Two large pieces and a little side salad in the middle. Holy crap, that was amazing. I want to eat that every day. And only $10!!! They have an extensive sushi and sashimi menu (though they weren't serving some of the more exotic items I wanted to try). No matter. I ended up getting the red clam, baby yellowtail, and mackerel. All were fresh, but the red clam was probably my favorite. You get to choose whether you want it as sushi or sashimi, so that's nice (same price). Most are in the $2.50 to $5 range. I also ordered their namesake Kyoto roll, which was yellowtail, white tuna, topped with eel, smoked salmon avocado, and roe. So good. I'm a sucker for eel sauce. They also do 8 pieces rather than 6 for their special rolls, so that was a nice surprise! All in all, a pretty good sushi experience, and I'll definitely be ordering delivery from them more often. Oh, and they have some pretty good lunch special deals!

4pm on a Monday proves to be a quiet experience by 4:30 I was the only one in the house. Maybe that was to my favor in regards to the food. 2 rolls and a beer put me back $22 bucks before tip. Despite the really quick service, the food was delicious and presentation was on point. Definitely give it another try. Cheers!

I'm from Brooklyn and have had sushi from all over Manhattan and Brooklyn. I've been going to Kyoto for years! It's one of my favorite sushi restaurants hands down! Everything is delicious and fresh!

I found this place thanks to my handy dandy Yelp app. Wanted Japanese food for lunch, but something different. They have a few of the standard bento boxes as lunch specials but one caught my eye... the mango teriyaki box (with chicken or shrimp). So I locked my computer and went for a long stroll. The hostess was very friendly and recommended the shrimp over chicken. I took her advice and placed the order to go. As I waited, I glanced at the various dishes being consumed by the customers. Everything looked delicious, with large portions and beautiful plating. The restaurant is fairly small but cozy and welcoming. After a few minutes my order was ready and back to work I went. The lunch box had pretty large, plump portions and everything was delicious! The California rolls were large with well balanced proportions. The gyoza was perfectly bite sized and full of flavor. The salad was fresh and crisp. The soup was good and had little noodles in it, a nice change. And the edamame was a great addition and perfectly steamed. The best part was the shrimp. Large, meaty shrimp in a teriyaki sauce that had a subtle spicy kick, but also a mildly sweet flavor. The veggies and mango were julienne so they offered a perfect balance with each bite. I will definitely go back but next time I'll dine in.

Food was fresh, piping hot and ready to pickup early via Yelp. Nicely packaged and generous quantities for the price. I would definitely go back!

Walked into this place after looking at the menus of the other three local sushi places in the neighborhood and found them to be the most reasonable. I had the Sushi Sashimi Combo, but what I really wanted was the Sushi for two but I didn't want to feel like a fat bastard. It was a solid 4 out of 5 for me in terms of flavor. It isn't the freshest sushi I've had (God I miss Tokyo) and it is hard for me it seems still to be impressed by anything in Brooklyn. The wasabi was fresh and the standout was the eel. If you're looking for a quiet and more soothing atmosphere Kyoto has that down to a science. Feng Shui was absolutely kept in mind for this floor plan. Worth a trip at least once for the overall experience. I can honestly say that I will probably return again.

Since I am a pretty, pretty princess, I ordered the Princess Roll. Sushi purists, beware. This isn't the type of sushi experience where you are savoring the beautiful simplicity of the fish. This is a spicy, crunchy tuna roll with eel, tuna, salmon, and avocado on top. But it tastes GOOD. In fact, everything I've had here tastes good. The gyoza, the tuna dumpings, the Sunny Roll, the Fantastic Roll...I have yet to be disappointed. Kyoto is not spectacularly decorated, and although that doesn't matter much to me, they seem to do a lot of takeout/delivery business as a result. Overall, I must admit that I prefer Ki Sushi across the street, especially aesthetically; it is far more conducive to a date.* However, this place is an excellent option when there is a line out the door at KI, as the fish is fresh, and they have more than a few interesting combination rolls. And it's cheaper. Which matters if you're, you know, me. __________ *I hate to mention it, but our waiter suffered from a case of body odor that was impossible to ignore. My date probably chalked it up to my usual stank, but I can imagine how it could ruin a date for a man with generally good hygiene.

Kyoto Sushi is definitely now one of our go-to Japanese restaurant in the neighborhood. We always walk pass by this place and we finally decided to have lunch here on Saturday since we were craving some Japanese food. We chose to sit at their lovely back patio. (Although in my opinion they could improve the back patio a little bit more) I chose Salmon Teriyaki lunch special on their menu. It came with a miso soup and vegetables salad with ginger dressing. Not to mention that it was served with California Roll, Edamame, a portion of corn and greens. It was delicious and sumptuous for a $10 value. We washed down our meal with a cold bottle of beer. The staff are great and we did not have to wait very long for our food to be ready. There's definitely a repeat visit to this restaurant in the near future.

Keeping this short and simple, Kyoto serves good quality sushi at affordable prices. There is a competing sushi place called Ki right across the street. The ambiance there is more suited for a date than here. Kyoto is a nice place to order sushi that won't break the bank. I have only tried basic rolls here and they were great. If I'm around the neighborhood and not feeling fancy I will come back here.

Decent food with a decent price. I was in the neighborhood and was craving for sushi. Ordered their chicken teriyaki bento box. It came with California roll, edamame, shui Meis, miso soup and salad. I never had a bento box accompany edamame so that was a plus. It as a raining day and they were flooded with their take out orders. The waitress was attentive. Overall service was good. My entire lunch was $10.89. Last but not least, it was a bit too dim inside. It was probably due to raining and cloudy day. Should have turn on the light a bit to brighten the mood.

Came here for dinner many times. It's in a great location on Smith Street close to Bergen Street (F,G) and Jay Street Metro Tech stations. Food is solid. We usually order a bento box and some rolls. Staff is really friendly and service is fast.

Uber eats delivered it. We got the sushi and sashimi plate for two. Looked beautiful, good amount of food for the price but the taste was a bummer. There was barely any flavor the fish just wasn't good. Really Disappointing

Had a taste for sushi while out shopping and this was the closest (open) place. The sushi was decent, not bad or good and the service was okay, again nothing amazing, but no complaints. We went with the shrimp tempura, spider roll and fried oyster roll. The shrimp tempura and spider rolls tasted like any other I've had. It was my first time trying a fried oyster roll and it was good. I think it would have been better somewhere with better quality sushi. I probably won't go back here as I was just passing through the area and it was close.

There's nothing like cold sake and raw fish on a hot day. My fiancé and I came in for a late lunch. The lunch menu is pretty limited, just one page of their specials. We ended up splitting the sashimi lunch plus we each chose a 2 roll combo. Each special comes with miso or salad plus a few shu mai and edamame. The miso was surprisingly good. They didn't skimp on the tofu and even threw in some enoki mushrooms. The broth was great and even those it was sweltering outside, I downed the whole bowl. The sashimi was great. We got 3 types of fish (tuna, salmon, and unknown) plus 2 pieces of a salmon roll wrapped in cucumber. I wish I knew what that was called because we really loved it. For the rolls, we split salmon skin, salmon avocado, eel roll, and crunchy spicy crab. Eel was definitely our favorite and the salmon skin was a bit too fishy for me. We noticed they had sea eel on special and ordered two pieces, as we don't come across it often. The presentation was pretty, though the pieces were dissimilar in size. The lunch specials are a really good deal - the 3 lunches plus sake came out to $50 and we definitely didn't feel cheated on portions.

I used to get from this place all the time after the gym! I ordered today and they cancelled and when I called to place via the phone the guy said can u order from somewhere else u cancelled before an order which never happened. I will never be returning to such a horribly run restaurant.

Customer service was great! Wait time was a breeze! Place was not packed decent amount of people and atmosphere did not feel overwhelming. Food was serviced promptly, nice and clean restaurant. Definitely recommend this place!!! Especially for the GYOZA!!!

Racism still exists obviously in this place Ironically if your a miniority You shouldn't come here We got asked to pay for our food before we can even take a bite of our food And yes we were sitting at a table And when we asked the waitress why She Said we want to make sure you pay No other table was asked that or requested to do that at anytime before there meal Couldn't believe this We both work in hospitality as severs That's racial profiling

Good price, but you get what you pay for. That, and the crunchy tempura bits in our special roll were stale. Too many better options to return here.

I got food delivered from here and there is so much that comes with the lunch box! I got the Chicken Katsu lunch box, which came with the chicken katsu and rice, miso soup, salad, shumai, 6 pieces of a California roll, and edamame! Oh my! And all that for $11!! I also decided to try the Age Tofu. I'm not sure I would order this again because the batter seemed as though it wasn't fully fried because it tasted floury. Everything else was good though. I would recommend this especially for the lunch special

Always fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. My favorite for takeout and for delivery. They never miss, please support this local business, you won't regret it!

I've been here multiple times and will keep reordering for my sushi cravings. It's solid and consistent, and the price is fair. We never have to wait too long for our order.

I went with my family on Saturday for dinner. the place is clean , the food was amazing, sashimi was so fresh , the staff were so nice and patient! We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, we were differently go back there!

Ordering takeout for a few months already, sushi is fresh and well prepared, service is fast

Every time we've eaten there, the food has been good. We love ordering their sliced seared tuna which has a smokey flavor and some type of chili oil? Amazing. Also like the black pepper tuna, as well as the tuna dumplings which are stuffed with creamy lobster filling, great textures. While the cold appetizers are our favorite part, the sushi is also solid. Everything tastes fresh!!

Order here if you want your evening ruined by a rude delivery man. Ordering from Kyoto is like playing a lotto. Might get good food or might get cold beef nagamaki and a stale tuna roll and attitude from the delivery man. I've ordered from Kyoto at least 12 times over the past half a year so I speak from experience and not a single event. The hot food is below average, very constantly. The sushi on the other hand are inconstant. I've had good sushi, soft smooth tuna sashimi, delicious lobster salad wrapped in tuna and black pepper tuna. I've also had chewy seaweed in the rolls and rice that tastes like it's been lying on the counter for several days before they used it. Hot food is always cold because it cooks way faster then sushi and then sits on the table waiting. To top it all off the asian gent that delivers the questionable meal looks at the tip and smirks and says something in his native tongue that sound a lot like F***k you. Probably in the country he is from it's appropriate to tip a $20 for driving 3 blocks on a scooter in a beautiful 74 degree weather and then taking the elevator to the final destination and being an hour late. But in my mind a tip has to be earned. It's not obligatory to tip for doing a poor job. A customer has to feel like something extra has been done on top off what he asked for, but somehow it is long forgotten tradition and now a tip is part of the bill and the price keeps going up at the same rate as the service quality is going down.

So, last night I ordered the sushi and sashimi combo for delivery. It was a Thursday night, around 6:45, and it was not raining or snowing, so I expected to receive my food in about 45 minutes. After waiting for 1.5 hours, I called Kyoto and they said it would be another 20 minutes and that they are "very busy at night." I finally received my food 2 hours after I ordered it. The food was fine, but a 2 hour wait is ridiculous. I won't be ordering from them again.

Came here for the first time for take-out... It was grrrreat. I wasn't really sure what u wabted. The Hostess gave me some suggestions and was really helpful. My favorite was the scallop sushi. It was super sweet. I will be ordering from here again!

THIEVES! Apparently they thought i wasn't going to tip them. But even when I did, they kept my cash and still charged me another 20% on my total bill. 40% tip in total for mediocre fish and horrible service. NEVER AGAIN

Very solid option for reasonably priced sushi & sashimi. Not much ambiance but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Kyoto platter. Fast service

Kyoto did its job of satisfying my hunger, and that's about it. I ordered a spicy tuna and spicy salmon roll to go. The food came out quick. Too quick. I get home to find a long hair connecting from a piece of sushi to under the ginger. Not happy at all. The sushi was mediocre at best. Their rolls had very little rice on it and the fish was oozing out while in the tray. Great place if you're starving and want real cheap sushi. Otherwise, go across the street to Ki Sushi.
