I DON'T LIKE GRATES!
I don't like the smell that come out of them, getting stuck in them with my heels, the feeling that at any moment I might fall in, and the Marilyn Monroe-esque dress flutter that occurs when I walk over one.
All in all I must say I try to avoid grates at all costs!
The ENTIRE entrance way fro Kokyo is surrounded by one large grate! This to me is as appealing as going to a restaurant featuring a 200 year of drawbridge with alligators snapping below! I mustered up all the courage I had and ran across the front entrance screaming "I hate grates" until I was was safely inside.
The service was ok. Not great, not terrible just ok. I ordered the Spicy Makimono set and it was ok. Not outstanding, not horrible, just ok. In fact everything about this place was just ok, and looking at my fellow yelper's comments I would quote a wise Connie T. who once said "Kokyo is another run-of-the-mill Japanese restaurant, with no real excitement or passion put into their food. "
If a friends wants to come here, rest assure it's not that bad, but I won't be coming back on my own accord (damn grates await me on my way out!)
