The day's adventures took us to Winnetka, IL today. Hungry, our family decided to eat at Kyoto Sushi Japanese restaurant for dinner. Summary: Good food, cost is higher than average for a mom-and-pop restaurant, poor ambiance, service was lacking Food A Ambiance D Cleanliness D Service F First impressions: The restaurant looks old and dirty. Chairs, tables, the sushi bar, and window sills look old and need some deep cleaning. Dusty. Greeting: None when we came in 4 people). The teenage kid just stared at us when we came in. Had to stand there for a bit until a lady greeted us. Observing from the interactions with other customers, this is a mom-and-pop shop that locals support. Exchanges with...
We've been here several times and I have always stopped short of writing a review. It's always been OK but I don't like writing just OK reviews. We came in for lunch and seated ourselves. We ordered seafood miso soup, which was miso soup with one overcooked shrimp, a tiny clam and part of another mangled tiny clam that looked like it had lost a knife fight, a bit of rubbery squid, two tiny unidentifiable bits of fish and two bits of tofu. The broth was good but the seafood was underwhelming in taste and portion size. The smoked salmon sushi tasted fresh but not terribly flavorful. The eel sushi came and looked like it had backed into the same motorboat that mangled the poor clam in the seafo...
Kyoto is a small local business that we frequent. We have tried other surrounding Japanese sushi restaurants but keep coming back to Kyoto restaurant. We love their fresh salad with the amazing ginger dressing and their Sushi is always fresh and tasty. The Bento boxes they have are a favorite as well but the Chicken Teriyaki dinner platter is awesome . Recommend for a casual, comfortable spot to have a good Japanese meal.
The salmon teriyaki entree is a must! A generous portion and full of flavor. The best fresh side salad. The spring rolls are also so fresh and generous portion. The owner is so kind and genuine in wanting to serve her customers the best. Not much of an indoor ambiance, but very fast service and also perfect for takeout!

Oh my god. I've been going to this place for a few years now and the workers are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They are so determined and awesome! Not only that but the vibe of the place is so chill and welcoming. Finally, the food. Is AMAZING Ambiance : 10/10 Service : 100/10 food : 10/10
Our favorite new Japanese place. The sushi is good, but so are the other dishes. My 3 YO loves the udon and broth. It's a perfect kid size portion and he finishes it every time. I'm a fan of the spicy scallop. My husband really enjoyed the Seafood tempura. The portion is well sized and really tasty.
This place is a knockout I've been really looking for fantastic fish on the North Shore since we moved from the city and this place is the best. We got two chirashi bowls and a chef selection sashimi platter. We will be back!
Amazing customer service. They helped us when there was a problem with their system and over compensated us which was a very kind gesture . Props to the owner and her kind character.
