Consistently Great Food and Service

by QTIEPIE at Citysearch

About a year ago, we were looking for a place to go in Queens that had the quality and service we had in the city without the hassle of having to travel into the city. We went out on a limb and tried Kyoto and have been going there ever since - at least once a week. The food is excellent and the staff is extremely friendly. We were amazed at the quality of sushi, which is comparable to many places we go to in the city. For those who prefer something cooked, the Thai/Japanese kitchen menu is extensive and delicious. It's great to have a place to go that accommodates the sushi lovers and those who prefer their food well-done. The tatami booths and private party rooms are great for gatherings and private parties.

Whether it's date night or just a casual night out with friends, Kyoto has yet to disappoint. The atmosphere is casual yet romantic and chic. It's a pleasant surprise to have a place like this in Queens. The cocktails, sakes and desserts are definitely worth a try! My recommendation - start with a Lychee Martini, followed by the Sushi Deluxe or Pineapple Fried Rice and end with the Thai fried banana with honey for dessert. Mmmmmmm!

• Pros: Friendly staff, great food, excellent ambience
• Cons: None

Private Party Rooms are a delight!

by ChiliPeppar at Citysearch

we recently had a nice birthday celebration in the private party room and was pampered by the staff. we were loud and a bit messy but the noise never bothered anyone else so we could be ourselves. there was a ball game on the tv, which some of us could watch while courses were being served. all in all, we had a great time and would definitnely do it again!

• Pros: Private Area for large groups, special menu for our budget
• Cons: Away from the main crowd and not close enough to the bar

Tasty Food, Trendy Atmosphere!

Kyoto has become my favorite Japanese and Thai restaurant. Not only do they have delicious food, the restaurant has a hip atmopshere one can only expect to find in Manhattan. The best thing about Kyoto is their special rolls, they are addictive! The fish they use is undeniably fresh. Their salmon teriyaki is superb! All of Kyoto's dishes are reasonably priced for their fine quality. Definitely try their tatami booths for a more authentic Japanese eating experience.

• Pros: creative platings, tatami booths, superb special rolls
• Cons: busy at times, especially on weekends
