Kyoto Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar Restaurant Review: In an area of town that once was light on restaurants, Kyoto sits as the “elder statesman” among a variety of dining options. Its team of chefs deftly turns out sushi and rolls, available with brown or white rice, and sashimi platters of unimpeachable freshness. The restaurant’s crisply simple décor supports the straightforward approach it takes with the food. A full menu of fried, grilled and seared seafood and meats includes such dishes as seared rare tuna topped with avocado and awash in a gingery vinaigrette. Just as good are the salmon steak, sizzling in its pungent teriyaki sauce on a metal platter, and the fat green mussels, baked in an egg sauce. We also recommend the tempura preparation (shrimp, squid or vegetable) and the mushroom salad. The occasional sogginess of the nori wrapping the rolls is easily excused when what's inside is so pristine. Sit at the low wooden bar in front or choose a table in one of the airy and inviting dining rooms. Bar offerings are limited due to the space, so the wines are mostly basic Californian selections, but there is ample cold saké and beer. |
