Kyoto has been a favorite family go-to for decades! We hadn't been for a while (so busy trying all the new places in SLC) but really wanted grilled salmon and gyoza take-out. For a busy Saturday night it was ready very fast, about 20 mins. Everything was delicious, just like we remembered. The Gyoza were a perfect combo of soft and chewy with umami flavor, and our teriyaki dinners were just what we were wanting. I opted for teriyaki sauce on the side with my salmon and it turned out to be some of the best salmon I've had from a restaurant in a long time. My husband went with the chicken teriyaki and loved it. The portions were large and we had enough for leftovers the next day. The side salad was fresh and crisp and the dressing is still one of my favorites. The tempura veggies were a little different than I remember, more like veggie sticks, but still very good. We usually go there for sushi and love that as well, but now I'm obsessed with that salmon!

It's been a couple of years since we have been to Kyoto so we decided it would be good to revisit for a family dinner. The parking in the back is convenient and we made reservations for a busy Saturday night. Our server was nice however he was a bit inattentive which was understandable. The restaurant itself is cozy with detail of Japan giving it an authentic feel. The gyoza was good. I prefer the more crunchy gyoza but this was a nice, chewy and soft texture. The beef flavor was strong and the accompanying sauce was a good addition. The steak teriyaki was probably my favorite dish I tried! It might honestly be my favorite steak teriyaki in Utah. It was tender, juicy, melt in your mouth perfection! The chicken teriyaki was good and used dark meat for a more authentic preparation. The tempura was good, not too oily, but could have used a little salt. The sunomono was perfectly prepared with tangy dressing. The beef udon had a rich and delicious broth perfect for a snowy day. The Funky Charley was not my favorite roll. The vegetarian roll was fresh, crispy, but left more to be desired. The star of the show was hands down the Geisha roll. In the future I will definitely be returning for the Geisha roll & the steak teriyaki. The green tea was a good addition and pretty standard. An overall good dinner.

I've visited Kyoto many times, and after exploring various sushi spots in SLC, I can confidently say this is my favorite. The food is consistently excellent, and the ambiance is fantastic, especially with the traditional Japanese seating that adds to the authentic experience. The staff is attentive and friendly, making every visit enjoyable. While the parking lot is a bit small, street parking is easy to find, so it's never an issue. Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking great sushi in the area!

This was one of the best Japanese restaurants I've been to in a while. Every roll we ordered was creative and delicious, and the mixed tempura was top notch! It was a hot day so we sat outside, enjoying the greenery in the outdoor seating area. The service was prompt and attentive. If I visit Salt Lake City again, this is a must-visit for me!

By far one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the valley. The most memorable item here are the mussel shooters, 10/10 I would recommend. I haven't found another place that makes them like Kyoto. They also have good sushi rolls as well as their tempura and sukiyaki. Their service is generally always pretty good and I do love the booths they have to make it feel more authentic. I am glad to see that this place is doing well and still around. If you have a big group, they take reservations. Regardless of group size, I think reservations are a great to ensure you have a table.

Cool and cozy/homestyle Japanese restaurant in Sugarhouse. They have seating where you take off your shoes to sit inside a booth, which makes it an experience. If you sit at the sushi bar, the sushi chef will take any of your sushi orders. I would suggest making a reservation if coming on a Friday night or anytime on the weekend. 5/5 Yasai Tempura (very good onion rings, kabocha, and carrots) 5/5 Green Eggs and Ham roll 3/5 Mars roll (too much rice for the shrimp) Sashimi was also good, but cut really small. Wasabi is almost neon green and doesn't have much of a kick. I ended up using just soy sauce and ginger.

We came in on a Sunday evening without a reservation and were able to grab spots at the sushi bar - but the place was pretty packed! While sitting at the sushi bar, you place drink and kitchen orders with your server, but you can order your sushi directly. Our server was very nice, as were the folks working at the sushi bar. Service was prompt and attentive. I went with the caterpillar roll and the geisha roll while my partner tried the steak teriyaki. I enjoyed the rolls, the caterpillar roll had eel, avocado and cucumber while the geisha roll had salmon, spicy tuna, mango, and tobiko. Both were very good. My partner really enjoyed the steak teriyaki. It comes with a side of tempura veggies and rice so you get a lot of food! The steak was cooked well and you get a nice piece of meat, no skimpy strips here. For dessert, we had to try the chocolate "sushi" which was a chocolate shell filled with cheesecake and topped with raspberries. It wasn't too big, the perfect size to share for a small sweet treat at the end of the meal. Overall we enjoyed our meal and I would return if in the area!
