Great Happy Hour

by weidiii

I feel like I need to address a couple of reviews first...

DiamondSkyy: 1.) There's no squid in the seaweed salad, you won't find it with anywhere else. 2.) You're not looking to eat authentic sushi if you want eel sauce for everything. 3.) Most sushi restaurants in America aren't that authentic if they serve California Roll...much less something like the Longhorn. 4.) If you were there for happy hour, that's their way of letting you know time's about to be up. It's not that they want you to leave.

tsangth: They're very strict about their happy hour prices; it's written ON THE MENU. Read it. They also refuse to sit people during happy hour if it's an incomplete party. I've been there many times with big groups and we've never had bad service aside from the one rude waiter.

The general complaint about slow service--most, if not all, sushi restaurants I've visited are really slow. I've been eating sushi my entire life. Sushi takes awhile to prepare; try making it yourself. If you're looking for something fast, go to Japan and visit one of those fast service ones with their sushi on a conveyor belt. Sushi is definitely for those who are willing to sit around for awhile. All that said, their prices are great during happy hour. I've been going there for a couple of years now, and aside from the one rude waiter we got (he literally got into a verbal argument over procuring a spoon for my friend) my experiences have been nothing but great. The Japanese manager has always been polite to us. I definitely recommend Kyoto.

• Pros: Great prices, rooms for larger parties
• Cons: long waits during happy hour

Great Happy Hour!

by Leelee84

The happy hour is amazing! Get there early and pay 1/2 prices for select items. The service was average, during happy hour be prepared to wait a while...but it's well worth it!

• Pros: Happy Hour
• Cons: Higher prices during lunch and regular dinner

Great Food - Terrible Service

by bradskate

I eat at Kyoto, mostly due to the close proximity to my job. Their sushi and lunch boxes are good, but far from fabulous. Their service at least during the lunch hour is very slow. They must have something going on for happy hour, because there is a line out the door every day. They must be doing something right.

• Pros: good sushi, good prices
• Cons: terrible service
