    A very drab uninviting room on our side of the two sides of restaurant. Basic booths and tables. Very little decor on the walls. I seem to be hearing a lot of Spanish from the staff. Hmmmmm. We ordered the tuna roll and cooked clam roll, a hibachi steak with mushrooms and a teriyaki steak with broccoli and a garlic wing appetizer. It all came out at once.. The rolls are very fresh and a good size. Matter of fact, all the food is very good. Especially the wings. Nicely fried with a touch of crust and very well seasoned. Don't expect much of service as they seem to be very inexperienced. Only complaint is I could have used some more steak. Everything else was well portioned

    Menu!

    Located on a hill off of Oak street, Forest City, Kyoto Express, a Japanese eatery, has plenty of seating sporting both tables and booths. It's a casual restaurant that has a variety of appetizers, noodles dishes, rice dishes, and sushi. While their restaurant was clean and kept tidy, their service was average at best; our main server forgot to give us items such as eating utensils (although I do believe it was an honest mistake). My family and I went and tried a variety of appetizers, noodles, and rice dishes. I would definitely come back again as the food was good for its price (especially during lunch). Suggestions: Pros: - The chicken wings (Teriyaki) (9/10), steak rice dish (8/10), and udon noodles were fabulous (9/10). - ALSO - use that shrimp sauce (or white sauce as some people call it). It was so gooood. The ginger sauce is pretty good too. They also have sriracha available. Cons; - The chicken entree dishes were slightly dry. - Not sure if this is a con, but the Yakisoba noodles are no different than instant ramen packs you can find at your local grocer - but if you're into that then go for it. - May have to occasionally call for the server if you need something. (Based on server and day I feel).

    Tasty, good value, and a lot of sauce comes with the hibachi meals. I would go again.

    Another Michelin 2025 star restaurant, found in Asheville, but a Japanese fusion restaurant called…read moreUkiah (apparently haiku spelled backward -- cute)! The restaurant is just beautiful and seating capacity is great--inside and outside. If weather is nice and permitting outside, you get a beautiful view of the mountains. The interior has a full bar and modern-decor. The menu features lots of creative fusion dishes. I enjoyed the avocado salad more than I expected. Maybe it was the ginger lemon dressing. It's light and filling. The ramen bowls are rich and the miso vegetarian Ramen is much more bold, flavorful than I had expected. The carrots and roots were caramelized. The ramen bowls are generous in size. The waitresses gave us several recommendations and her shows through her service and her recommendations of local shops to explore after our dinner.

    My wife and I went to Ukiah twice this week while on vacation from Ohio. Our favorites were the BBQ…read morecarrots, crispy mushroom bao, baby back ribs and the brisket. The vibes in the place are great too. The first night we had Jess. Jess is great - took amazing care of us. We did have a couple issues with the way the food came out. The manager got involved, and I have to say they take excellent care of you here. Excellent enough that despite our issues we came back later in the week. Jess wasn't there, so we got Xander and she also took excellent care of us! We explored some new tastes and sat on the patio, enjoying the view. Definitely a place we will return to, next time we are in Asheville.

    Extremely well done. I showed up at the end of the day looking for some food and a beer, and I was…read morevery happy with the overall experience. The space was nicely decorated. The staff were extremely helpful. I mentioned I was looking for vegetarian options, and the bar tender thoughtfully guided me through the various options on both the tapas and ramen menus. That made for a great experience. In terms of the food, I opted for the miso eggplant and the garlic butter broccoli. Both were excellent. The miso eggplant is served as well cooked Japanese eggplant with a light tempura treatment and somewhat sweet miso glaze. Not too heavy, but still delicious and nicely textured. The broccoli was perfectly cooked with lots of flavor. It made for a nice pairing. In terms of beer, they had a few different local beers on tap. I went for a local pale ale. Great. In any case, this place is highly recommended. I suspect their vegetarian ramen would probably be pretty good, but that was a little heavier than what I was looking for. It was nice to have a few other vegetable forward options available as a backup.

The entire bowl was phenomenal & I wished we had gone back there, the boiled egg they gave was also roasted and the bamboo shoots were fresh, the meat so tender and juicy, and the broth is very tasty!! I craving it while typing and a watery mouth! My partner and I shared a Miso Ramen and I wish we had something similar where I live!!! The decorations were cool and retro and the staff were nice, just an odd waitress but food is amazing!
