| Reviews: | "Unfortunately my least favorite Japanese restaurant (nationwide) happens to be the closest to where I live. Over the past 14+ years every year or two I will break down and revisit hoping things have changed. Well they have not." |

| | "Kyoto serves superb sushi, the previous reviewer must have been there on a bad day. I have been going there for 10 years along with my friends and no complaints, just praise. Kyoto specializes in Uni, Yellowtail and various Clams. Also known to serve Bonito, Sea Bass and Rockfish. Kyoto is the Washington area´s best kept sushi bar secret!" |

| | "I, too have been to this restaurant. I must agree with the first reviewer. I have been enjoying Sushi for many years. My husband and I like to try different restaurants in our area and compare them. One day we decided to try KYOTO restaurant. It was the worst sushi we had ever eaten. It was not fresh at all. It smelled terrible. It was just all around awful. I was worried that we would get sick from it! Fortunately we did not, but we vowed never to go back there again. It was a terrible waste of money. We were so disappointed." |

| | "I am siding with the majority here. One day last year, our normal sushi group from
work decided to visit Kyoto rather than going to one of the places in Rosslyn (Kyoto being MUCH
closer).
Service was horrendous. It took more than an hour to get food for 8 people, and when it did
arrive, it did not smell appetizing. The wait staff all but ignored us (possibly to not have to
deal with how upset we were getting), but it was as unpleasant a dining experience as I've had in
a long time.
We'll continue going to Rosslyn (25 minute drive) rather than ever eating at Kyoto (10 minute
drive) again.

| | "Unfortunately, I am also disappointed with this restaurant. I enjoy sushi restaurants with a variety of creative rolls, not just a california or cucumber roll. Kyoto just does not have a very good selection. I think there were only three rolls that had something other than tuna, shrimp, salmon, or crab. I just think its a shame that Old Town doesn't have a better sushi restaurant.

| | "I am shocked about the bad reviews Kyoto has gotten. My friends have been going there for years and now my husband and I are addicted. I`ve tried sushi at many different places but Kyoto has the most tasty and fresh fish ever. Our friends have become very friendly with the staff and know for sure that the sushi chef buys the fish fresh every single day. The variety is great, too. Maybe lots of things have chaged there since the bad reviews in 2005 so please go and try the food at Kyoto for yourself. You won`t be dissapointed.
