Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse - Japanese restaurant in Vancouver - 16409 SE 1st St, USA

This place is amazing. I come here occasionally because I love the atmosphere, the way the cook and how comfortable it is inside. Some notes first The person, "Baobo" who posted 3 days ago about it being " uncomfortably cold", it was snowing, it was below 25°F outside, and it was really windy. The restaurant probably did their best in those conditions to make it comfortable inside. Today it was 27°F outside with lots of snow still and I was quite comfortable in there, grow up. The staff are very friendly here and the Hibachi employees have always been friendly and fun. They play little games with you and help you make good memories here, I've taken a lot of people close to me here, and they've always wanted to come back! The only problem I have here sometimes is that it can take a few minutes for them to come out, but they have to get all their ingredients out so it makes sense. Food is very flavorful and they're very respectful about how you want your steak done. Yum Yum sauce is very special to this location, can't find their quality anywhere else. They even sell their Yum Yum sauce, so I can enjoy it at home now! The Hibachi items come with free onion soup and salad and both are delicious. Price is very reasonable and fair. A nice 9/10 for this place.

Very friendly staff. Had a good time. It was clean and good was yummy and good entertainment while cooking the food. We love going to this place, especially on birthdays. Great prices for what you get. I highly recommend it. Don't forget to tip your staff, they work hard. They also have great much prices. Definitely don't wanna miss out by not going. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

The lobby is uncomfortably cold as they haven't turned on the heater. My steak with shrimps and chicken quickly went cold, and within 5 minutes of entering, my hands felt numb due to the low temperature. Additionally, the sprite they serve tastes like tap water with an overpowering bleach flavor. Overall, the experience doesn't justify the price or time spent in the restaurant.

Presentation was great, food looked good. But it tasted like it was purchased at Walmart. Everything about the meal was drawing red flags 🚩 The meal was Teriyaki Chicken and it was one of the grossest meals I've ever had. I tried to eat as much as possible because I payed $32 for it ($22 before tip) and it made it even worse. Their fried rice was terrible and didn't even taste like fried rice normally does and was crunchy. The meal tested extremely undercooked and gave me one of the worst food borne stomach aches I've ever felt. Today is a day after the experience and I'm still having trouble eating anything else because of how bad the stomach ache is. It's not worth it. Go anywhere else for your food.

Great hibachi experience! They celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. The food was delicious. The shrimp was slightly over cooked but the chicken and steak was amazing!

I love it there because the chiefs do a amazing job and I love their sukiyaki steak because it has to be the best by far and their services has to be on point and our family loved how the food is getting prepped and the food is really really tasty and I love the lollipop making machine where you can chose different shapes or animals and the cotton candy making machine was pretty amazingly awesome and it was a amazing place not gonna lie it is the best ever. I care about this place and I would never ever talk about negative things about it. I love the positive stuff. Keep up the awesome great Japanese work.

FIRSTLY, I don't suggest you going here without doing the Hibachi. When you do the Hibachi, service is 5/5. When you decide to do the regular dining experience, the service is horrible. We were greeted, walked to our table, and it took over 30 minutes for someone to bring us water. We could not find anyone in the dining area (literally ghost town). It's so upsetting because, we love their sushi but, to get great service, we need to do Hibachi. I suggest that if you are only wanting their sushi, DO NOT DINE IN. Do a pickup order or Hibachi. This is the 3rd time we've dined in (definitely the last time), and the service have been the same. Really slow and no sense of urgency.

Great food, had the Hibachi Steak and Chicken, my partner had the Hibachi Shrimp, comes with salad or onion soup, and a side of Yum Yum sauce. Third time here, and as usual the fried rice and vegetables are excellent. Everything is prepared and cooked right in front of you. The server was very entertaining and deliberately comical. It's a complete performance. Bring your sense of humor. Great place for a lunch or dinner engagement. The bill was $30. Not bad at all. I did ask that they wipe the area I was sitting at a little better. There were no issues with that. Other than the people they set me with that were visiting from Chicago, and obviously had no time for fun and entertainment while eating, I had a great time. Yes it's a big grill that you sit around and you can be sat with random people. I just prefer people who enjoy themselves. I do highly recommend that you try this place. It's addicting. Sorry forgot to take pictures before I started eating.
