What People Are Saying About Kyoto Japanese Restaurant

Kyoto Japanese Restaurant
Owner
One of Salt Lake City's best and most affordable Japanese restaurants, Kyoto succeeds at providing all the sushi options and offering a wide range of authentic Japanese cuisine, which will hopefully urge those myopic labelers out there to expand their palates. Kyoto captures perfectly the simple regality that only the Japanese can create with little more than wood, paper and cushions. Minimal yet elegant paper curtains and hanging lanterns provide soft lighting and white accents, while the rich, dark wood trim provides a sharp contrast and balance.

Great Traditional Japanese Cuisine
by ceted at Citysearch
Kyoto offers some of the best sushi and sashimi in town, as well as some excellent non-sushi dishes. The tempura is very good, and the Beef Sukiyaki is outstanding. The service is always great and the atmosphere is a nice alternative to the common trendy sushi bars. Highly recommended.
- Pros: Great sushi, wonderful traditional Japanese atmosphere
- Cons: None
Nothing memorable
by myasquirrel at Citysearch
I recently moved to slc from florida and have been looking for a good, affordable place to eat sushi. In FL there was one sushi place I frequently went to which had huge, really tasty rolls that were very inexpensive. Usually between 3-6 dollars( including rainbow, dragon, and other specially rolls). I went to Kyoto because I had heard that they had pretty good, affordable sushi. While it was affordable then other places- the sushi was below par. For one thing, the sushi menu was sparse having only a handful of rolls to choose from(nothing creative either). They used minced imitation crab meat and the rolls were bland and boring. I was disappointed to say the least. Other food items on the menu may have been good but they were pricey.
- Pros: The miso soup and tempura vegetable appetizer was good
- Cons: Sushi was below average. Other food items were pricey.
Best Udon in Utah
by watkins07 at Citysearch
Always same great taste! Love the nabeyaki udon and tempura. Best food in utah. Kyoto never seems to fail me. The owner is so friendly as well as the watiress ladies. They seem to all be from Japan, yet their english is very easy to understand and they are so kind and fast. Recommend Kyoto to everyone!
- Pros: Great food and service.
- Cons: There's always a bit of a wait.

Everything on the menu at Kyoto is refreshingly different from everyday food in name, preparation and presentation. Newcomers to Japanese cuisine will be pleasantly surprised by all the choices they have, and long-time enthusiasts will rejoice over the variety and quality of the dishes.
