I used to love this place. I would go in here for lunch semi-regularly, often enough that two of the servers remembered me. I'd get a roll and a salad. The roll was amazing then. I had started telling my wife "I can't believe something can taste this good!" The only other place in Toledo I would have something about which I would say this about was Souk. But then sometime towards the end of last year, the roll changed. It was still pretty good, but not the superb thing I had come to love. So I stopped coming in so often, but still once in a while in the hopes that they would go back to how they used to make it. I'd given up, but today broke down and went in today as I missed it so much. But my hopes were dashed as the roll was just pretty good. So I'll have to start the search to find another place to get my fix for rolls. Another thing is that during this time frame is how most of the time the salad comes out with just a bare dribble of dressing on it. So I guess a plausible explanation for this places downfall may simply be from skimping due to food costs. read more

This is, without a doubt, the best place in the surrounding area for fresh, high-quality, and fairly priced sushi. I'm consistently amazed at the quality and quantity in relation to the prices. It's a hidden gem that's not so hidden anymore--no matter the day of the week, the restaurant is always bustling with diners. I recommend making a reservation on weekends, as it tends to get busy, while weekdays are more low-key. The service is exceptional, and the drinks and bar offerings are fantastic. While wait times can be longer when ordering sushi--especially during peak hours--everything is made fresh with clear attention to detail. Although there are many creative and extravagant rolls on the menu, the Beast Roll remains a personal favorite. Topped with crab and shrimp tempura, it's an incredible value at around $12.50. The combination of quality, price, and service here is unmatched, making it the best bang for your buck. I've tried various dishes and appetizers, and I've been consistently satisfied each time. Having dined here numerous times, I've never encountered a single issue, which is a rare and impressive feat. Their takeout service is equally excellent. read more

I came here with some girlfriends for dinner. We have a friend that has a silica allergy so she cannot have gluten. When we arrived we asked our server and she brought over another server that was gluten free as well. She went over all the great gluten free items as well as great substitute options to stay gluten free. We ordered some steamed sugar snap peas and we all ordered some great sushi. Good sushi for a good price. The other time I've been here we ordered takeout and it was packaged well and had a great flavor. read more

Had lunch here with two friends on a Wednesday. The place was nearly empty. My friends had the lunch teriyaki chicken and liked that. It came with a salad. They liked the dressing. It also came with miso soup, which they let me try. All three of us agreed it was too salty and had no other flavor. I had the cooked New York Roll. It had one measly shrimp cut in half to decorate each end. The overall flavor was not bad, but the beef strips on top looked tired. Overall not a fan enough to return. read more

Service was great, ambiance was so calm and welcoming. We had never been here before and our prior plans had just been cancelled so we were a little bummed but honestly once we came in everything started to feel better. The food is fantastic, the music and lighting were very relaxing. As a first time visitor I will definitely DEFINITELY be recommending them to everyone and revisiting very soon! read more

We came in on Black Friday evening after calling in reservations. We were immediately seated upon arrival and the staff was very good. The food was excellent. I tried the belly tuna sashimi and it is the best! We had a party of seven and everyone loved their entrees. It is decorated in traditional Asian ambiance for restaurants and is clean and welcoming. I will definitely be back! read more

10 stars. I have been eating at Kyoto Ka for about 11 years. Never once have I been disappointed. Chef Joe treats me and everyone else like they are family and not just another person. The sushi, nigiri, sake and everything else is always super fresh and delicious. The service is perfect and I never worry that my needs will be taken care of. The rebuild after the fire has proved to have done wonders to the new omakase room. I can't wait to try that. LOVE YOU CHEF jOE read more

So we were driving through and accidentally went to their old closed location but didn't fret because when sushi calls you drive right back to the right location. So glad we did, the place is amazing. The staff are super friendly and attentive without feeling like you're being watched. They had a sizable Friday night crowd so we knew we chose well even before the food. Also the soda fountain had free refills which was awesome. We ordered five rolls and they came out timely. I got two vegan rolls and the rice was super fresh and both were delicious. I was super impressed by the specialty vegetarian roll. Also, these rolls are big and very filling. My husband had three different eel type rolls and said the shrimp tempura eel roll was his favorite. Something he hasn't seen around us. Enjoyed the family friendly clean experience with great staff and service. Highly recommend if you're craving good sushi in the area. read more

Pleasant staff. Huge menu. Best sushi in town. Also tried the chicken teriyaki dinner for the first time. Comes with soup and salad and you get a big portion. Diablo Roll, twin shrimp, shrimp tempura and a spicy California roll. So so good! read more

Recently had a great meal there - Spicy tuna roll and a California roll. Delicious. My first time back since they re-modeled (they had a fire I think???). Both rolls were well made and on-par with what these would cost at other sushi restaurants ($7.00-8.00 per roll). Fish was very fresh and each roll had wonderful texture, etc. Great service, great experience. read more

Food and service have been great both times we have ate here. We even took our 1 year old and the sushi chef kept him entertained.

Good spot for Sushi. Domo used to be the spot, but the rolls have gotten very small and the prices are crazy and the owner is an asshole, but the staff there is great. $50 for two rolls of sushi is out of bounds in my opinion. read more

One of my favorite places in the Sylvania/Toledo area. Large selection of Sushi and dinner options to choose from. Kyoto Ka has a very professional and knowledgeable wait staff to help with your selection if need be. I have also been very pleased with their take out too. read more

First time here today with a friend from out of town. The waitress was very nice and helpful. We ordered the Avocado Bombs and those were delicious! We both ordered hot tea that was very weak for me. My friend ordered the Teriyaki Salmon that came with a salad and miso and she liked it. I had the miso and the flavor was just ok. There was very little greens and only one piece of tofu. Overall, the sushi was very fresh but a little lacking. I ordered the Star Roll and the Ninja roll. The rolls were skimpy, barely any salmon in the Star. The Ninja had a very thick piece of tuna on top and the crab was a good size but the rest of the ingredients were almost non-existent. I'll probably go back with my husband for a second try or at least for the Avocado Bombs bc they were awesome. In the end there are 3 other sushi places that I like better in Toledo read more

Kyoto Ka is hands down the best sushi in Toledo! Joe and his family work really hard to provide an elevated experience. The level of effort that goes into each order not only appeals to the taste buds but is a beautiful work of art. whether you're new to sushi or have been enjoying it for years, there's something for everybody! Even If sushi isn't your thing, there's delicious entrees from the kitchen made fresh with love. The beautifully lit and decorated environment is perfect for every occasion- intimate gatherings with loved ones, work meetings that will leave your clients dazzled- there's an even an extra room especially for big celebrations. This place feels like home!!! read more

The first time my husband and I went was pre-covid. It was pretty busy that night and a little loud, which is always a turn-off for my husband, but that is always a great sign for me because it means the food is good! This is the first place I have ever had Agadashi Tofu, and can I just say that I still think it's the best in the city of Toledo? Of course, I haven't tried every place here, but it still has been the best so far. They have fabulous sushi rolls and sushi. I haven't really tried their entrees, but I'm sure they're stellar. And when we went, at that time, they were also the only Japanese restaurant here to have sake flights. That has since changed, but if you get a chance to go there, definitely go! read more

Had dinner yesterday. Food was good. The server, Jeda, was friendly and helpful. However the chef/manager is not accommodating. My husband is celiac and the salad and soup that came with his entre were not gluten free. My husband asked to upgrade his salad and soup and pay the difference, but chef/manager refused to do so. Not a friendly place for celiacs. Won't go there again. read more

given multiple chances, used to be my favorite place. after their Renovations everything went up. my favorite roll is now four more dollars... it's just not worth it anymore. same quality right down the road at spicy tuna for a lot less and they have half off nights. never again for me. read more

Only recently was there for first time,but definitely will return for more yummy treats,that's for sure.

Nice food and reasonable price. Excellent service. I have been going to this place for the last 8 years.

We have eaten here a number of times. The food is generally good. The staff seems to be somewhat familiar with the dishes, some more than others. Its a dimly lit restaurant with a nice atmosphere but the tables are a bit close so you will hear others conversations. Its not cheap or expensive for Japanese food but leans on the higher side. The sushi is OK for midwest US sushi. NOTE: This place closes after lunch. I arrived at 2:10PM, was seated by the hostess and was waiting for my family for a few minutes and another person approached and urged me to get my orders in by 2:15PM. They were 10 minutes away so I left upset. Super annoying and ruined our lunch since we had to go to another restaurant. I have spent extensive amounts of time in Asia including Japan and was never asked to get my order in even if they closed soon. Once your seated that would considered rude. Really any country for that matter including the US. How weird. Not a bad place overall but this experience upset me. Don't seat people and then embarrass them by essentially making them get up and leave if they cant order right away.......very unprofessional I suggest closing the doors at 1:30PM so you can be sure everyone's order are in early. Probably out last visit. read more

Joe never disappoints. From top to bottom, left to right: belly tuna sushi, salmon sushi, roe: flying fish, smelt, maddi sushi, egg cake sushi, titanic roll, salmon skin roll, vegetarian roll, lotus roll (not on the menu). Everyone is friendly, great service and always delicious. read more

We are kind of new to sushi. We've heard nice reviews of Kyoto Ka and were feeling adventurous. The service was good. And our waitress guided us through an extensive menu. The number of choices can be intimidating. We weren't overly adventurist with our first sushi adventure, but we wanted to try new delights. For an appetizer, we had tuna tataki. Where the tuna was seared. And it was covered with a seaweed salad. Very good For the main course, we split a California Roll and a Star Roll. Very similar. The California had crab. The Star had salmon. Both were very good. And maybe next time we'll be more adventurous. read more

Awesome sushi, little pricey but we'll worth it and it's made to order will always get my sushi here

Super cute place, tasty and fresh food, servers are always so nice. I've never had anything less than good service

Kyoto Ka is by far the best sushi in Greater Toledo. I currently live in Ann Arbor and drive to Sylvania just to get this sushi. All of my friends in Ann Arbor love it! Joe is the best owner and chef and Sylvania is lucky to have him. My personal favorites include: the joe roll, the hot lover, the playboy, spicy tiger, and the shumai. You're the best, Kyoto Ka! read more

Everything was fresh, timely and delicious! We arrived before the normal dinner rush and were welcomed by our server, Sarah. Our starters were amazing, the spicy calamari and the miso soup. Portions were perfect, just enough to save room for the main course. The blue ocean roll was my favorite tonight. It was so fresh and so flavorful. Next we ordered the Kiss of Fire and the Spicy Tiger Rolls. Both were delicious. The atmosphere inside is friendly. The next time I dine here I am am going to try sitting at the sushi bar, seems like there is good conversation and interaction between the chefs and guests. Great dinner tonight! read more

We read a lot about this place in Toledo City Paper... so here we are. Sushi...In this order... 1) Hot Lover Appetizer Roll 2) New York 3) Black Dragon 4) Calamari Tempura 5) Vegas Roll 6) Eel Crunch Along with Eel , Tempura, and Teriyaki sauces. It was the best Sushi we have had to date in the Toledo Market. We will soon compare to what people say is the best Sushi in the Ann Arbor Market. Service was great, bathrooms were clean, parking and acoustics were good. Quiet sound and no roar even though there was 2 dozen people in the establishment all conversing. They certainly earn their reputation. I no longer give out 5 stars unless everything is flawless. e.g. Parking, environmental comfort, bathrooms, etc. 5 it is. ***** read more

The sushi was phenomenal. Our waiter was hospitable and present. The udon soup was out of this world and our appetizer which was stuffed peppers was on point! There are a bunch of awards on the wall when you walk in and it lived up to the hype. It is a great date night spot as well because it is mostly quiet and has low lighting. Go get you some amazing sushi!! read more

Clean,pristine atmosphere, always 100% quality offerings and great service, we enjoy both locations dining here often. Chef Joe is a master

I usually love going to kyoto ka because their sushi is so good, but tonight the service was terrible. Our server, Stephen, didn't check on our table for 45 mins and we waited for over an hour and a half to get our sushi. When i asked him how much longer for our food he said he didn't know. I then told him that we had put our order in almost an hour ago and I asked if he could check on our order. He proceeded with "I can try". 15 mins later our sushi comes out and it is great but we ate it within 5 mins because of how starving we were. Stephen never apologized for the wait or had warned us that the kitchen was backed up. When we got the check, I was expecting to be given a discount or something to accommodate our long wait but there was nothing. I was very disappointed because i had never experienced this type of service in my life & it disappointed me because I am a server myself! Sad! read more
