I'll admit it I didn't have high expectations for sushi in a landlocked town that's pretty far off the beaten path. But sometimes those are the places that surprise you the most. The sushi was fresh, the rolls were well made, and everything arrived looking like someone actually cared about what left the kitchen. The rice had a nice texture, the ingredients tasted clean, and the portions were generous without feeling overdone. Service was warm and welcoming, and the staff made the experience even better. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable, making it an easy place to settle in for a meal. It's a good reminder not to judge a restaurant by its zip code. Great sushi can show up in unexpected places, and this spot proves you don't have to be on the coast to serve a meal worth coming back for. read more

always good sashimi great egg roll I'm getting hungry writing this the soup and salad are good too

Services was horrible, she was a fast talker, did not want us to enjoy our food, have never experienced this type of service before, dropped check off before we even finished with our food and foods wasn't even that good, bad from first to the end. read more

I have had lunch and dinner here off and on. I don't know why,but recently I have grown to appreciate this fresh well made authentic Chinese/ Japanese food!!! So It is so peaceful with dim lighting and great staff. Two.dinners in a row,only myself. I had the Pork dumplings,as recommended by my server,Tonya, she is pleasant and knowledgeable,as are the other servers . Wow large shrimp,fresh no fillers added Egg drop soup. Got chili oil made in house so aromatic and spicy. Tonight I had the Kung Pao shrimp dinner,full of shrimp. I enjoy sitting quietly and savouring every bite!! More to compliment. Want to try everything on the menu. read more

We ordered 1 order teriyaki chicken, and fried rice. When we opened the box, the chicken was in a slimy clear liquid, no seasoning, and a few vegetables. No teriyaki flavor at all, slimy texture, and just overall bad. I wouldn't order from here again. read more

We spent the day traveling to Duncan. We did Chinese takeout from here. I couldn't order sushi in the middle of Oklahoma. The food was ok. I ordered the Moo Goo Gai Pan, but it lacked flavor. They did not have wonton soup, so I got an egg drop, and I didn't like it. The egg roll was okay, but I had better. My husband got Szechuan Beef and said it had no spice, but it was okay. My father got the Pepper Steak and had no complaints, except for the lack of wonton soup. It was fast, and my husband picked it up. He said the place was fine inside. He stated many doordash people were waiting to be taken out. We will give it another chance the next time in Duncan and order differently. read more

ARROGANT, RUDE MANAGEMENT, would not even listen to me to correct an omission of "egg rolls" that I ordered. I ordered "Vegetable Fried Rice and Egg Rolls". He said "What kind soup? Egg roll come wit soup." When I asked him what kinds they have, I could not understand him. After repeating himself, I still could not understand him. He pointed to a picture low on the desk area that listed 3 soups. I said "egg drop". 15 minutes later, I received a stapled shut bag, paid, and went home. I opened the bag at home. It had 3 items, but 1 was CORN CHIPS. NOT THE EGG ROLL THAT I ORDERED. When I returned with the corn chips and said that I did not get my egg roll, the same man said "No egg roll.", and pointed to the receipt which did NOT include the egg roll that I ordered first! When I told him that I ordered the egg roll and he did not fill the order, he pointed at the receipt, said " NO-EGG-ROLL! ", and turned around and walked away from me, refusing to allow me to speak any further. GOOD WAITRESSES. HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT! read more

Ordered the Lunch Bento! Great value for the amount of food you get! The fried gyoza and sushi rolls were tasty. I ordered Mongolian beef. Seemed like an exhorbant amount of onions compared to the amount of beef. The flavor was good, just would have liked less onion. I didn't care for the garlic dressing on the salad. Couldn't put my finger on it. I usually really enjoy ginger dressing! If you are hungry for lunch, this place is definitely worth a visit! read more

had lo mein and kung pao chicken tonight. . the food was as usual which i to say consistently good. altho tonite the food tasted much fresher. and in particular the egg rolls were toasted to a nice golden tan color whereas usually the egg rolls are practically burnt and a very hard exterior. . tonite the roll casing and cabbage/meat ingredients were very good. i give them 4.5 out of 5 tonight. read more

Sat there for 20 minutes and did not have order taken. Attempted to get waitresses attention and she continued to talk to the other waitress. read more

If you like the smell of weed/marijauna then this place is fine. Get the food to go if you don't like weed.

I was surprised to find a sushi place in Duncan, and it's very good! The waitress I had was phenomenal, and she knows about everything on the robust sushi menu. She is happy to answer questions and has a rapport with regular customers. There is also Chinese food served. I go here every time I come to town. Maybe someday my family will be brave enough to try the sushi! read more

This place is the best in town for sushi or Chinese food services friendly atmosphere his family and the food is delicious. I recommend it.

As long as you understand it's a sushi place in a small town I'm sure you will get what you pay for. The people are kind and the environment is decent. The service is nice and semi quick. Located in a nice little strip of different businesses, it is a decent place to go to when you want to break up the mundane. The food I have never had an issue with it, but to each their own. They could have a better menu set up, fix up old photos and such. I promise if you want sushi around here this is going to be the best you are going to get! read more

The best sushi ever! The Hawaiian roll is my favorite. There is a very sweet lady that works there and we love having her as our waitress.

90% sushi with fake crap and the rest of the menu is Chinese. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, there wasn't any Japanese food besides sushi, and it was very bland and the fried rice just a joke ... the waitress was super and tries to help us not order a mistake ... stay away, far away! read more

We ordered the Shaggy and the Clearview, and both are very good. We moved here from Katy, Tx and we're looking for good specialty rolls. They didn't disappoint!! It's great to have this restaurant in our little town. We recommend it!! read more

Let's see how to start this, we've lived here for about three years, and this WAS the place that we went until recently. The staff is really nice except for the female owner. She must just be absolutely miserable. I do not care for their Chinese food. But I lovED their sushi, egg rolls, soup and their little salads. They just recently got back from their vacation overseas. We went back August 2. I ordered the same thing I ordered every single time and I got the worst food poisoning I have ever experienced in my life. We suspect it was from the cream cheese, cause I substitute cream cheese instead of avocado. I mean, one really bad food poisoning will definitely change your mind about where you eat and how you let people prepare your food. I will miss this place and the waitress was phenomenal. I mean, I know I will not be back, and we did eat there for three years and never had any food issues before. But it's important to read reviews you know they're little insights. I have read many reviews that people have posted. And from what people have said, there is no point in me calling and letting them know. Their business will not fail because of this, they're not going anywhere and there's not a lot to choose from in this town. We used to go at least once a month maybe every six weeks. The bill was anywhere from $35-$55 depending on what we got. read more

Underwhelming. Everything is there, all the textures, things are cooked well, good portions, but there was basically no flavor at all. I wanted so badly to have an awesome experience and to have a great option for Japanese in town, but I'm not sure I'll be back unless it's just for sushi. We may try again for a redemption but it'll be a while. read more

I go here all the time! Some of our favorites are the heart attack 911 roll, kani neruto, and sun roll read more

I would give less if it's possible. The absolute RUDEST and most unprofessional people running this place. No wonder the review are now awful and the food is getting bad... it's due to the slow business due to failures by the ownership to maintain the behavior of the staff. RUDE. I will never eat here again, and when asked, I'll make sure everyone knows why. Don't expect them to treat you any better read more

Fairly good Japanese for southern Oklahoma. Staff was just average. The sushi was also just ok, but what made me rethink eating here was the owner and cook eating KFC in the middle of the dinning room. read more

The food is good the service is ok. Have had a few amazing experiences eating here but also have had waitresses who spent more time on their phone then making sure we had enough to drink or if we need anything. The egg drop soup is great during the cold days. read more

Best sushi in Oklahoma!! I am very picky about what sushi I actually like. I try every sushi bar I find and they make the very best rolls. Kyoto's always succeeds to satisfy my craving. read more

The woman that was "helping" us (would say her name but she didn't say it) was not helpful whatsoever. She was extremely rude, didn't check on us once and that includes refilling drinks. She was yelling at one of the employee as well while there were kids around. Not only did she mess up our order she was unwilling to fix the mistake she made and denied it as a whole. read more

Visiting from Houston as always. This place really impressed me. Not only was the staff respectful and health conscious (masks + gloves) but the sushi exceeded any expectation I had of what I'd find in southern Oklahoma. Delightful, fresh and well priced, we ordered many different rolls and loved them all. Will absolutely be back when we are in town again. read more

I'm just THRILLED there's a sushi place in Duncan! And it's actually pretty good! Who'd a thunk it?!? Yes, they didn't know what I wanted when I asked for Ikura and a sliced my finger on the take out container. Still, I'll be back! read more

Kyoto - Sashimi Deluxe - Japanese Near Me - Duncan, Oklahoma

Long story short, the owner wanted his employee to hang up on me because I was asking if anything on their menu could accommodate my gluten allergy. She was more than willing to help out but he was in the background saying we couldn't and to hang up on me. If they genuinely couldn't accommodate and told me in a better manner, I would've MORE than understood and went somewhere else but he didn't even give her a chance. And they could've accommodated, because she was in the middle of giving me recommendations! Anyways, She was put in a hard place because of him. NOT allergy friendly!!....or friendly at all for that matter. Except for the lady on the phone. She was awesome. Sucks she has to put up with an owner like that. read more

If I could have given a zero, if I could have. 1st of all it took forever for us to get our food, once we got food, it was flavorless. We didn't eat any of it and the owner said we'd have to pay for it anyway. Never again will we be back. Waitress even noticed the difference in color, between our 2 plates and the owner refused to remove it from our ticket, unreal!!! I recommend you not waste your money. read more

Awesome place for the area! People in Duncan are so close minded, hateful, intolerant, and racist it's really a breath of fresh air for a place like this to be thriving. I try to stop in every time I'm in Duncan. I like the Hawaii roll, but I have not had anything bad here. It's all good! read more

The sushi is definitely the best you can get in southern Oklahoma! The waitresses go above and beyond to help you understand the menu and ensure that you have a wonderful dining experience! This is my favorite place for a date night in Duncan! read more

When I caught a glimpse of the Kyoto Japanese Restaurant while driving in Duncan, I thought I saw a mirage. Sushi? In Duncan, OK? Excited at the prospect of not having to drive an hour to Oklahoma City just to eat sushi, I immediately went there to give it a try. And to my immediate surprise and delight, it turned out to be really good! And very cheap...for sushi, anyway. They have some good lunch specials, that come with 2-3 rolls, soup, and salad. The rolls were really tasty, and the side orders were good, too. I also sampled their Sushi Deluxe, which is a nigiri sushi plate. Considering the fact that I was in Stephens County and not the Ginza district of Tokyo, I was very pleased with the sushi portions. They also have curry and a number of cooked dishes on the menu for those of you out there who are still sushi-phobic (c'mon, my fellow Oklahomans -- live a little!). I was kind of disappointed that they don't have Japanese curry or even tamago (simple egg nigiri), but you know what, beggars can't be choosers. In the culinary wasteland of Stephens County/Grady County, there are no Japanese restaurants, so I'll take what I can get. Of course, compared to Japanese restaurants in a major city, it would not rank as high, so please keep that in mind. Still, I like it! I've eaten Kyoto's food several times, and I have to say the restaurant is a nice change of pace from the plethora of greasy fast food joints and all-you-can-eat buffets that populate the area. I highly recommend Kyoto for those of you who love Japanese food or are eager to try it for the first time. read more

In a city whose population adds soy sauce and salt to menu items before ever taking a bite and rejects self-serve yogurt places for not being all-you-can-eat venues, an otherwise modest restaurant like Kyoto becomes a bold, ambitious addition to Duncan's cultural landscape. Less a Japanese restaurant and more a Chinese restaurant with an extensive line of sushi rolls, Kyoto does way more right than a small town, Asian mix-and-match place has any business doing. My partner and I split the veggie tempura, which comes with a bowl of fried rice, and three rolls. Those four dishes + 2 sodas only came out to about $34 -- a steal in the sushi world. The Clearview roll, shrimp tempura, crawfish, and cream cheese roll deep fried and covered in a spicy mayo sauce was my favorite, but everything tasted pretty good. Suspiciously good for the region, honestly. As others have said, the restaurant's interior leaves much to be desired, but it's not so sketchy that eating in is out of the question. It looks more or less like a fast-food restaurant, and so if ambience is less important than simply getting a good meal, then the decor shouldn't be too much of an issue. The only real caveat I have about Kyoto is that sushi veterans looking for nigiri will find little to nothing for them. The sushi menu almost exclusively consists of makizushi, save for a $19.99 chirashi bowl, and while it's an appropriate menu for the majority of Duncan diners, sushi purists will likely be disapppointed. However, as an attempt to bring good sushi to a town lacking in culturally diverse options, Kyoto is a food oasis. read more

Duncan, Oklahoma has sushi?!!! Yes and this place is legit and very good! I visit the Duncan, Marlowe, and Rush Springs area every year to visit my boyfriend's family and this past summer was the first time we stumbled upon this place. Kyoto is located on Highway 81 in the same shopping mall as Hastings and Johnny's. They have a great deal on lunch specials and they have bubble tea! All of the sushi rolls are delicious and their meals come with soup and salad. For anyone who wants a change from the usual Sonic, Golden Corral, and Chinese Buffet, this is the place to go. Seriously, who needs Sushi Neko in Oklahoma City when you got this place just down the road? read more

Good take out as far as Duncan is concerned. The Chinese food is shockingly good for a Japanese restaurant. I mean, they're all Oriental cuisine, right? Embrace it. Sometimes with sushi you just need to close your eyes and not think about where the sausage is made, but Kyoto's sushi is decent! Just don't think about how far away you are from an ocean and it goes down fine. Kyoto loses points because I can't recommend dining in. The ambiance is near identical to the creepy diners down 81. Take out. read more

There is a limited amount of Chinese food in the area. This is the one that I like the most. Sushi is very good and fresh. Meals are made to order. And there is no buffet. read more
