Excellent sushi restaurant with over-the-top service!
The service was very fast, efficient and friendly. The sashimi and sushi dishes were carefully prepared and fresh. The presentation was on point. They have three different kinds of soy sauce in three small pots on the tables. The environment overall was very clean, organized and peaceful when we dined at night. We had a very pleasant and satisfying experience and left feeling full and happy!
I was impressed at the amount of different kinds of sushi rolls they provide on their menu. We ended up ordering the sashimi appetizer and then the sushi platter for two. We drank sake and had fruit for dessert. Last time I had sake (at a different sushi restaurant) it was very unbearable to drink.
This sake at this restaurant changed my previous opinions about sake because I actually enjoyed it a lot. It was warm and delicious. Lastly, we were given lollipops that were given with the check, which was a very nice touch! This is one of our favorite sushi spots in Brooklyn. They are very dedicated to provide fresh, quality sushi and friendly, amiable service. I recommend this place for dine-in with friends, family or your significant other (the delivery is spot-on too and a popular option).
I'm a bit of a sushi purist – just fish and rice and none of that frivolous roll nonsense for me! I was pleased that the fish on the sushi was sliced artfully and the rice formed with finesse, but would have preferred to have 8 different types of sushi than 2x of 4 different fish.
Decent quality, restaurant looks clean. I would not mind coming back.
I ordered delivery and was very satisfied with the quality of the food. They have soooo many rolls, so many things I've never seen anywhere else, so I went a little out there and tried some new things.
The salmon tartar and California roll were solid, the gyoza delicious.The seafood salad comes with a small portion of sashimi covered in a creamy, slightly spicy mayo and is very tasty.
The kaki roll (avocado and deep fried oyster) was surprisingly filling, a winner. The heaven roll was a show stopper; salmon with avocado and shrimp on top. The shrimp was so fresh! My favorite had to be the spicy scallop roll and the dancing shrimp roll. I've never had a raw scallop before and the texture had to be the best part. With that dollop of spicy mayo the whole thing is soft and and silky. Dancing shrimp is shrimp tempura and crab tobiki, with eel, avocado and spicy mayo on top. Top notch.
I also ordered enough that they gave me the California roll for free, which is apparently something they do when you spend $30 or more. Sweet place!
My only complaint is that their rolls are so massively tall and wide that they can often be hard to fit in your mouth in one bite. Makes for some awkward eating! But "too much sushi" is a pretty good problem to have.
I order from this place several times a month. I don't eat meat or seafood, but I usually get their tofu or vegetable based entrees and/or sushi. The food is good, delivery is extremely fast, and the staff is friendly. My boyfriend told me about this place, having lived in Greenpoint before, and we probably funneled in thousands of dollars worth of business into this place :X
Occasionally, we'll go into the restaurant as well. We've ordered from this place so many times, they practically know our orders before we even place them. You wouldn't think a decent sushi place would exist in a sleepy part of Greenpoint, but lo and behold, Kyoto is there to fix your sushi cravings.
Good Sushi, poor service.
There was nobody there in terms of customers so our food was made fast. The woman who served us had some attitude like her entire family was just shot execution style in the back room of the restaurant … I ordered a Miso soup, and she asked my lady if she wanted one also which she did and she completely forgot about the soup. My chicken yakitori was overcooked and the Black Dragon Roll was the only reason I gave three stars. It tasted pretty damn good.
Damn that lady was pissed. No wonder everyone just orders delivery.
I would steal a child's bike if it meant I could dine here every day for the rest of my life. Seriously.
Best sushi in Greenpoint. Hands down. Screw Sapporo, and the other 5 million siushi spots in Gpoint and Billyburg because this spot is it. They even give you free lollipops when you leave!
When I come in there, angels start singing. Highly recommended.
The fish here is awesome whether in the roles or as nigiri. Thinly sliced, but not too thin, no stringiness, just delicate. Fresh. The tuna and salmon in particular were delightful. The yellowtail not as much.
Rice is so-so. Doesn't have a lot of flavor and was somehow too firm and too mushy all at once.
Seaweed wrapping was more tough than need be. Rolls weren't as tight or precise as in some A-one sushi establishments.
Good miso. Strong wasabi. Weak tea. Udon was ok, not stellar.
The waitress is indeed short with customers but still very kind. She will say nice things to you if you listen (she's quiet). I liked her a lot (but can see how some might not).
And yup, inside smells fishy but my vegetarian friend didn't mind it and we both adjusted within 10 minutes.
For a Japanese restaurant in the land of Polish, it was definitely better than I expected.
For what this place is – un-fancy, cheapo take-out kinda sushi – I think it's pretty fucking great. If you roll up expecting Masa or something, hey! You're… way off. We order from here fairly often and I think my husband wants to be best friends with the delivery guy now. What we've gotten has always tasted fresh and the price is right. And please, what else do we have in this 'hood.
