Kyoto Japanese Cuisine - Martinez (GA)

4 /5 Ciera Perez: I used to frequent this place a lot when I was younger and it was a favorite spot for my family. However, this most recent experience was a little disappointing. We arrive and were seated promptly. Server gets our drink order. Both sodas are flat. So we order sweet tea. We order our appetizers and meals. We both order the filet mignon and shrimp entree, an order of gyoza and vegetable tempura The vegetable tempura was soggy and soft. Did not have the crunch outside I was hoping for. The gyoza was delicious- no complaints there The soup and salad that comes out was great but the ginger dressing tasted a bit off. Unsure how to word it- it was weirdly sweet The filet mignon and shrimp entree was okay but it, also, just did not taste as good as i remember Server was prompt with refills and was super helpful. Atmosphere is nice and calm and not overstimulating I will most likely come back again and give it another go as maybe it was a bad day

4 /5 Ricky Smith: Not sure if they changed sushi chefs recently. Been ordering from here for years as one of my favs in this area for taste and price. My last two visits however the rolls I used to get all the time changed and just arent hitting the spot. Will probably continue to order every once in a while but I miss the old rolls and definitely dont crave the new ones. In the attached photos the ones with two per photo are the old ocean, rock n roll, Red Dragon, and seafood rolls. The individual photos are the new ocean, rock n roll, and red dragon rolls. The ocean and red dragon have changed drastically.

1 /5 Sydney Dains: I grew up going to this place and loved it every single time. Haven’t gone in about 6 years, but a friend suggested it for dinner the other night and we went. I was severely disappointed the entire time. We were sat quickly and the host was very nice. The place looks the same as it did when I was younger, nothing majorly different. We sat down and it took a while for our server to even come to the table. She was fine. Not overly talkative, but not rude. Slow to bring us things, and generally felt like she didn’t want to be there. The food? Awful. My friend ordered hibachi and an order of gyoza and I ordered two sushi rolls (Kyoto special and seafood roll). His hibachi order was wrong, and the meat was way overcooked that he did get. The gyoza was never brought to us before his entree. I had to ask about when it was expected to come out probably about 10 mins before we left (we were there for an hour). My sushi came out about 20 mins after his hibachi did, by then he was halfway done with his food. The Kyoto special roll was okay, but the seafood roll was god awful. The meat was gray colored and tasted watery/too much like fish. I’ve never had sushi taste like it just came out the water. It made me sick after we left. I was really disappointed in this place. It didn’t used to be like this. But now I understand why the parking lot is never full anymore. Would not recommend coming here.

5 /5 Barry Bramlett: First time trying Kyoto and it was incredible! Great lunch menu and wonderful service. I will be back soon!

5 /5 Raquel Welborn: The food was absolutely delicious. Each course was hot and served in a timely manner. Our waiter was very pleasant. The peach Saki was outstanding.
