"All Kyoto Bowls are pretty much the same, so this review could apply to any of them. It's OK. If you're on a diet, it's pretty good because it's low-fat, low-cal, and better tasting than a salad. Some of the upcharges are just silly - brown rice wholesale is basically the same price as white rice, so why the $1 upcharge? The steamed veggies are heavy on cabbage on celery and light on the tastier more colorful veggies. And no Japanese curry??? Or Katsu???\n\nThe decor is just awful - everything is a depressing shad of teal (everything! walls, booths, chairs, etc), with 1980's faux brass finishes everywhere. Dim lighting and a lots of ugly spindly plants everywhere round out the picture; a depressing ambience overall. \n\nIf you want cheap, good, big portions of Japanese fast food, with an eating area that won't make you suicidal, hit Yoshi's (two locations in Phoenix) or Tokyo Stop in Tempe.
