| - Went there because I had purchased a certificate on Restaurant.com. Upon entering, there is a handwritten sign stating that they are NOT a Restaurant.com contractor, implying that certificates will not be accepted. The waitress said that Restaurant.com included Kyoto in their site without their permission, which I highly doubt. (Their certificates are STILL on the Restaurant.com site.) Though it did not look busy, I was told there was a 20-40 min wait and they would call me when a table opened up. A table did open up in about 20 min, and I met my friend there. We both ordered the 11 pc sushi special for $22.50, which was not bad, though the white tuna was pretty rubbery. The salmon was good though. To their credit, this is one of the few places where the actual sushi rice (yes, sushi refers to the rice, not the raw fish) was prepared like it should be, namely slightly still warm and seasoned with rice vinegar and sugar. The miso soup was obviously instant, and it was just warm, so we asked that it be heated up. It came back moderately warmer, I assume they reheated it in the microwave. They apparently do not have a liquor license since there is no alcohol on their menu, and the available drinks are mainly bottled drinks that you would find in a vending machine. The servers appeared inexperienced, not surprising for a college town and this being a new establishment. The food was good, though a bit pricey, and the execution still needs work.
