Reviews for Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar

The special was average, the sushi was good, but the service was TERRIBLE. We could not get refills, they didn't bring everybody's food out at the same time (we were at a regular table), & the waiter forgot the rice and it was 15 minutes before he finally did bring it after we asked several times. THEN he tried to stiff us for our change - we paid with cash and should have gotten $38 back. He brought us $18 back and when we questioned him about the remainder he said "You gave me that for tip." We never had the option to give him a tip, he took it out before giving us the change back! There were only 4 of us, so gratuity was not included in the bill. After a huge ordeal, he finally handed us $10- he kept $10 for himself. We gave up at that point and let him keep it! We will never go back! Shogun is the best! Ma would never treat her customers like that!

We drove from Olive Branch, MS and all I can say is WOW. People were already at the door 30 minutes before they opened. We were seated and then the experience began. The waiter took our order for drinks, helped us on what to eat. Shrimp GREAT.. The our cook (KID) came and made our meal. Our children loved it and we had so much fun. We plan on going back again. WAY TO GO!!!! Food was good and service was happy and fun.

Okay! Well my experience was horrible due to on Sunday lunch. It wasn't busy. The service got our order but he forgot our soup, salad, and drinks at the grill. The show was awesome no doubt but the food was too dry to eat and i didn't really enjoy my meal. But it's okay somewhat....

As good as any of the hibachi grills in Memphis...definately worth a trip! Although I will say that if you have ever been to a Benihana or Ichiban in Tupelo and love their shrimp sauce, Kyoto does not have it.

Kyoto is great. The food was really good; I had both sushi and something from the grill. The teppanyaki high jinks of our cook were very amusing. I would have rated the cleanliness higher had I not sat in a pool of oil where a server had an accident.

The only negative was the wait for seating. The food prep was wonderful and was worth the wait!

A great atmosphere and quality food at reasonable prices makes this a great choice in the area for Japanese food. You have a choice between the "grill" area (communal seating) and the food is cooked right in front of you (with some flare), or you can chose to sit in a more traditional "restaurant" area and order from a menu at a regular table. I chose the menu and ordered a special box lunch of chicken teriyaki, which also included 3 California rolls, salad, and steamed rice. The cost was a very digestible $9.50 including beverage. Service was ...eh, ok, but the waiter was "in training" so I may have rated the service higher if I didn't by chance get "the new guy". There are two bars, one for sushi and the other for alcohol, both have 40" flat screen TVs showing various sports/news channels. Overall, this new addition to the Tupelo restaurant scene is a great choice.
