| - Kyoto House is very cheap, but it's cheap for a reason-- the food is atrocious.
My friend and I came in for dinner at 6.45 on a Thursday evening, and the place was empty except for a table of two other people. We had to stand there for several minutes while the waitresses were chatting at the sushi bar, and it wasn't until the only non-Asian waitress saw us after she came out of the back that we were seated. My friend and I both did the AYCE, and we were expecting somewhat decent things.
We ordered every roll on the menu to sample, as well as the squid sushi, egg sushi, and tofu pockets. The food that was passable was the california roll, the seaweed salad, shrimp tempura, the tofu pockets, the egg sushi, and... that was it. Everything else was terrible: the salmon and squid were SLIMY, the avocado was brown in everything, the spicy mayo tasted off, and the rice was warm and falling off the rolls. To make things worse, there were insects all over the walls :( One got on my hand while I was pouring myself some soy sauce, and I was startled so I spilled soy sauce all over the table.
We were feeling extremely queasy after just a few pieces of sushi, so we paid our bill and left before the sushi pizza made its way to our table. I would never go back to this place because it was filthy, 6 out of the 8 waitresses on staff that night were rude and inattentive, and the sushi was just not fresh at all. I didn't feel well the rest of the night and into the next morning, it's not worth it. There are cheap AYCE lunches elsewhere in the GTA that are better value. I am genuinely so upset that we paid 50 dollars for this crap.
The only reasons I'm giving this place one star is because the South Asian or South East Asian waitress who served us when everyone else ignored us was the nicest woman ever.
