Kyoto is what I like to call the "diner of sushi places." This isn't necessarily a negative. The prices are very fair, and the atmosphere is very laid back.
In an area of super "hip" sushi, it's nice to have a place with a local feel. If you are looking for fancy, out of the box rolls, exceptional service, or a great ambiance, this isn't the place for you.
If you're looking for cheap, good, normal sushi at a great price it's worth a shot.
