He Said: I have been here several times, and I enjoy coming here with my family. The location is located in an easy to find strip mall. Lunch prices are good and even better for young kids. This place does not have the best sushi in MN, but that's okay; the food quality is better than what you would find at a buffet with a sushi station. The wait staff is friendly and the service is quick. Pros: - Several food options that my kids enjoy (not always a given) - Lunch price is very reasonable - Restaurant is clean Cons: - Food quality is alright - Some sushi portions (e.g. tamago) are really small read more

Great spot for AYCE sushi at a reasonable price. The Eagan location is consistently fresh and delicious. Food comes out pretty quickly and the service is friendly. The dynamite roll is a dressed up shrimp tempura roll smothered in eel sauce, so good! My favorite roll is the crazy roll, which is like the dynamite roll but it also has cucumber so you get a nice texture contrast with the crunchy cucumber pieces. The fried rice and udon have a really nice smoky flavor. The beef and salmon teriyaki cuts are pretty thin but the teriyaki sauce adds a lot of flavor. For dessert they have green tea, red bean, and vanilla ice cream. The ice cream is creamy and the scoops are generous. They do not take reservations. There is plenty of booth seating and a couple of tables and high tops. read more

Stopped by here for lunch with some work colleagues. It is pretty centrally located in the heart of a lot of shopping and the town center in Eagan. It's an all you can eat sushi place that has a bunch of other stuff too. We were greeted by the host and got seated pretty quickly. The place was clean and the staff friendly. You order off the menu what you would like and they will bring it out as it's ready. We ordered a whole bunch of stuff amongst us. I tried the wings, edamame, and curry beef as well as some rolls and had rolls. The food was all decent. What you would expect at an AYCE restaurant. nothing stood out but nothing was terrible either. I wouldn't be running back there but also wouldn't mind going again if someone wanted to get sushi for lunch. If you are int eh area and craving sushi and are super hungry, this might fit the bill. read more

My partner and I got seated and then promptly greeted by our waitress. We got our first round pretty quickly. The restaurant is a decent size and it's easy to maneuver. There are so decorations but nothing that really stands out for me. They do have some tvs at the bar. I got a spicy salmon temaki, a cucumber roll, and Philadelphia roll. I enjoyed my spicy salmon temaki and the cucumber roll. They tasted delicious, and the cucumber roll is one of my favorite rolls. It's always so refreshing! My Philadelphia roll was okay. I thought the smoked salmon, cream cheese and avocado proportion was a little off. I would have like more smoked salmon in my roll personally. I got octopus, surf clam, yellow tail, escolar, red tuna, spicy salmon and spicy escolar nigiri. My red tuna, in particular tasty really fishy, and not in a good way. So did my yellowtail but it wasn't as strong as my red tuna. The salad was good, and so was the teriyaki salmon, there wasn't anything super special about either dish. Overall, this is an okay acye sushi spot. It doesn't have that "wow" factor for me. I've been here a couple of times, and will go here again. It's more-so just the convenience of where the restaurant is located and how hungry I am after running errands. read more

Kyoto Sushi - Kyoto sushi - Japanese Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

I wish it was possible to give this place zero stars. Come here for the rudest hostess/owner in town

I used to eat here every other week, I just brought my daughter in for the first time as our office is right down the street and she came to work with me. Nasty attitude from the staff the entire time with terrible service, my daughter didn't like the sushi she ordered the noodles she ordered and the manager came out with a very "spicy" attitude, saying we needed to pay a 20% waste fee on top of our bill. I've eaten here 20 times I've never had this bad of service and I would highly recommend no one ever eats here again read more

Our family LOVES eating at Kyoto for AYCE (All You Can Eat) Japanese Food. Of course you can get higher quality food elsewhere, but this is the place to go when you're all starving and ready to order a lot of yummy food QUICKLY. Ambiance is very casual. Decor hasn't been updated in quite a while. It's comfortable, but I wouldn't want to come here for date night. Service is hit or miss. Some servers are top notch and some will mess up your order multiple times or forget a few things. Our family favs: -Beef Fried Rice (our fav fried rice of all time!) -Snow Mountain Roll -Dynamite Roll -Tempura Roll (Dinner only) -All Tempura items -Beef Teriyaki -Green Tea Ice Cream Pro Tips: 1. Try to come in for lunch on weekdays. The AYCE price drops from $33 to $20 per person, and only a few items are dropped from the menu (sashimi and a couple of their specialty rolls). 2. If some people in your party are not hungry enough for AYCE, ask for Ala Cart menus for them. They just ask that the AYCE people don't share their food with you. read more

Kyoto Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

If my friends and me want an AYCE on a budget, I think Kyoto is a decent spot. The sushi's not amazing but it's not terrible either. The servers are quick with getting in and serving orders, so it helps a lot if you come in with a hearty appetite. read more

Previously, I've eaten at Kyoto Sushi in Minneapolis, Coon Rapids, Roseville, and Maple Grove (now known as Akame Sushi). Two days ago, I ate at the one in Eagan for the first time. My server was a bit difficult at the beginning. After I ordered a vegetable salad, I started asking about the ingredients in the vegetable fried rice. She interrupted me three times assuming I was talking about the salad. Otherwise, she did a good job. Before I left, another employee asked if I wanted my water glass refilled. He was much friendlier. The ambiance of the place was okay and the food was good. I definitely got my fill for just over $20. I might eat here again if I'm in the area on a weekday during lunch hours. read more

Kyoto Sushi - Hibachi Shrimp and Scallop Combination with the 2 scoops of rice they serve with it! - Japanese Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

This is a great sushi restaurant in the south metro. They also have excellent Udon and tempura menu options. I have never been disappointed in the quality I received. The "All you can eat" option represents good value compared to ordering from the menu. My wife and I typically get more food for about 2/3 the price when dining in on vs ordering from the menu. I don't personally feel that the selection is diminished in the unlimited option vs the standard menu. The restaurant can get a bit loud during peek times, but that is to be expected. There are plenty of tables, so we have rarely had to wait. Servers are timely in taking orders, though sometimes the sushi kitchen can be slow. The "hot"/non-sushi kitchen is always incredibly fast. read more

I took my sister where for lunch today. We have eaten here many times before. HUGE disappointment. We did the all you can eat. We had to repeatedly ask where our food was. When we did finally get it it was cold and nasty! It will be a long time before I will go backagian. The place was very busy and they were clearly under staffed! Our waiter was overwhelmed . I don't think he listened to a thing we said! Had to flag him down to reorder! read more

Last Sunday, I was craving ramen. I did a quick search and found Kyoto Sushi. It was five minutes away from where I was. I drove over to this eatery, which is fairly close to Best Buy. I backed into a parking spot steps away from the entrance and walked into the restaurant. I was quickly greeted by a woman. She asked whether I was here for the all-you-can-eat menu. I had no idea that this place was an AYCE joint, but you could also order items off the regular menu. I said yes to the former. I was first seated at the bar. I asked for a table instead. I got one. It was around 1:50 pm, so there was plenty of seating. This place charges some fee if you order way too much food and can't finish it. I don't do well at AYCE places as far as volume goes. However, I like coming to such establishments because I get to try a bit of everything. I needed something to drink and got a Diet Coke. By default, you get a glass of water, which was nice. The soy is low-sodium. I appreciated that attention to detail and that decision. I got a bunch of items to start: - Rainbow roll - Chicken wings (2) - Shrimp tempura (1) - Chicken ramen - Beef teriyaki - Seafood udon I felt like I needed more food after the first round, but was getting full and got the following: - Dumplings - Green tea and strawberry ice cream You know what I didn't enjoy the most? It was the craving that I had. The chicken ramen was okay. I found it bland. I think if the broth were miso instead of the milky, boring broth, it would have been perfect. The surprising dish that wowed me was the seafood udon. The lack of flavour in the ramen was totally made up in the udon. So flavourful! The udon noodles were chewy and perfect. I loved the veggies in this dish. The seafood was fake crab, which wasn't surprising. I have been thinking about going back just for the udon. The chicken wings were delicious. They were full wings with lots of flavour. They were messy to eat, though. No one knew me here, so it didn't matter how much of a mess that I made. The shrimp tempura was huge. It was so crispy with all the tempura around it. The rainbow roll hit the spot. You get different varieties of fish. The roll tasted fresh. The dumplings were deep-fried. They were pretty good. The beef teriyaki was outstanding. The char was perfect while the beef stayed juicy and tender. You must have the ice cream. Super creamy. The green tea and strawberry flavours were rich and delightful. I was here for lunch. It was $22 for AYCE. It was a decent price for the variety and quality what I got. I want to come back for more. I can save a bit by having lunch on a weekday, but I'm fine returning on a weekend. Great find! I wanted ramen and got a whole lot more. (3) read more

Overall this is a decent deal for all you can eat. Portions have gotten smaller over the years and quality of rolls are not as good. Service is ok. Make you feel guilty for eating and question you when you ask where is your order. ClIm it has been sent. Just uncomfortable at times but today service was faster. Not sure if I'll be back anytime soon. read more

Rude waiter who delivered us wrong food, then doubled down on it being right when it obviously wasn't ours. The guy had a smug attitude from minute zero and thought we were morons who couldn't tell Yellowtail from Tuna. He proceeded to avoid and ignore our table for twenty minutes. Kyoto used to be pretty good value for decent quality and now it's $40/person to feel like you're dining at Chucky Cheese. It's barely worth the review honestly. My wife and I have been going to Kyoto for over a decade and never received service like that. When trying to give the feedback the waiter didn't seem interested nor did the other staff so we won't be back. I figured just share it here and move on, there's other sushi spots in MN, just go there instead. read more

The food was great but man the service by our waitress was pretty bad we asked for a side of white rice we were told only if you order teppanyaki . We asked another associate and said 2.50 and brought it to us for my small daughter the waitress chewed him out loudly in front of all the people it was terrible im very disgusted about this we didn't say much but at the end another employee was nearby and I said to him the service we received was not good he just shook his head up and down like no one cares about your experience here tonight never will I ever go back that was a sad experience. We also didn't get asked if we would like anything else and then when I asked for a tiny box she went off again all I could think was wow I usually leave a big tip but we were going to leave a $5 tonight but before we could even do that she grabbed the money book so we just left read more

What ever I say about this place is very less. I love this place. They have amazing sushi buffet made to the order. Man I never eat sushi anywhere else. Love there fresh sushi made to the order and they are quick. They have a huge menu for lunch buffet and more items added for dinner menu. There service is quick and maintain the place clean and neat. They even have appetizers, fried rice , noodles and many many more. I would recommend this place anytime for anyone who loves sushi. This is absolutely amazing place read more

Other than the all-you-can-eat deal, I would say this is your average sushi joint. Service was ok here - when we first sat down, service was slow to get an order in, but once we were getting food it wasn't bad. The people in our group with the AYCE deal were served their food about 5 minutes after every order, which was great timing. As someone that can't eat more than $30 worth of sushi, I got the B.C. Roll (salmon, avocado, cucumber) and some edamame. Edamame was basic but still delicious, and the beans weren't over cooked. You get a big portion for $6! Two of us were eating it and barely finished one order - shoutout to our waitress for stopping us from ordering two since it's so big! The B.C. Roll was delicious, but it's a pretty basic roll so I feel like it would be hard to get wrong. I did try a bite of my boyfriend's gyoza, and it was a bit unique compared to other sushi restaurants I went to. It was pan fried in a starch to get it nice and crispy on the outside, plus had the usual dipping sauce drizzled on top. It was a nice change-up! Overall, I'd say this restaurant is good, just nothing out of the ordinary. read more

i love kyoto! they've got a wide range of menu options including sushi, sashimi, maki rolls, ramen, udon, hot and cold appetizers and lots more. one roll that i was surprised they didn't have was the alaskan roll (salmon, cucumber and avocado). despite that, they were able to make a salmon avocado roll. service is very quick. they have all your can eat as well as a la carte. i personally think the price is worth it for lunch, but not for dinner ($33.95). overall i had a great experience. overall rating: 9/10 read more

It was a normal -35 below day, and me and my friends wanted some sushi. From the painful cold walk into the store, to the painful food service we had, this sushi place certainly should not be your number one pick. Many rude comments were made by our server from the moment we ordered our drinks. She was rude and constantly disagreed with our food decisions. We could not eat in peace as our server was glaring at us, and gossiping to her co workers. The food we ordered was decent, yet our dumplings were had ordered never arrived to our table. Unfortunately, this restaurant has lost multiple new customers. Do not recommend this sushi Place to anyone. read more

Went in last night for AYCE, server was extremely rude and in a rush from the start when the restaurant was not even full and was well after rush hour. Our party ordered we received our food, when the bill came we told the server to keep the change as we had paid in cash she returned with the change and made a smart remark yelled and said "(this much amount) for 3 people??" Started angry laughing then yelling at multiple other staff members in a different language. I decided to not address the situation with a higher up as this was embarrassing enough. I have came here for years and after last night WILL NOT be coming back. Tips should be appreciated AND NOT DEMANDED this was absolutely not okay, managers and supervisors need to address this situation and train their staff and employees to have better manners read more

Ambience and Location Yes, it is located in a strip mall but don't let that deceive you. The sushi is pretty good. It is not the fanciest or the highest quality but at AYCE you really cannot go wrong. Food and Drink The menu that they offer for the AYCE is pretty expensive. You can order sushi, sushi rolls, fried rice, noodles, appetizers, teppanyaki dishes, and much more. My wife and I really like their Kyoto Roll, that is probably our favorite. You are able to order as much as you want each time your waiter comes around. Food output is always pretty fast so we usually order one or two things at a time and then sharing between the table. Service Pretty quick. You waiter makes sure that your table is always full of food and that you are getting what you want. Price AYCE is about $30 a person. Not bad when you think about all the sushi you will be consuming. Final Verdict Fun place to spend a date night or with family. With lots of choices, you cannot go wrong and it gives you a chance to try something new. read more

Sadly, I have to drop my rating for Kyoto down a star. I have been dining at Kyoto for more than 11 years. It took a little bit to get its bearings at the beginning, but once it did, the place provided good value, good service and good sushi. Now, Kyoto needs a refresh. The decor and other aspects just seem tired. The portions have shrunk while prices have risen. I don't begrudge them raising prices as they were steady for a long time. I'm just hoping that the owners can make some investments in the place, or I fear it will struggle. Service was still very good when we visited recently and I will return. It just won't be as soon as I otherwise would if the place was in better shape. read more

Came here for my birthday lunch & for the very first time. I was happy that there were so many options for the all you can eat buffet! From noodles, rice bowls, to various sushi & roll options, it was so great! The quality of the sushi was surprisingly great, but I don't eat sushi too often, so am definitely not the expert! I don't know if I would come here regularly because of the price. It feels more like a special occasion spot. read more

I'm in town on business and I had a hankering for some sushi since it's something I eat on the regular back home. Kyoto has a nice setup but doesn't feel very big. It lends itself to a more intimate setting, which I can get behind, especially if I want to keep things private and quiet. My server, Vicky, was quiet but friendly and she made my dining experience pleasant. She always checked up on me and brought my food and drink with a strong sense of urgency. So from a service perspective things were top-notch. The food was pretty good but their fish didn't seem as fresh as a restaurant closer to the water would be. Coming from the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area, I think we have fresher fish. At the same time, this establishment does AYCE so that may be the reason (mind you the Hampton Roads area does AYCE, too). There were a couple of rolls I tried which I haven't seen at other sushi spots - a chicken teriyaki roll and a roll they've named the Sexy Girl (which contains spicy tuna and little crunchies and is topped off with spicy crab meat). The chicken teriyaki roll wasn't the most memorable (but points for creativity) while the Sexy Girl was good, but heavy. I tried their seafood fried udon, which I felt was fairly good. Overall, Kyoto is a decent spot. I've dined at better sushi spots but, for the price, the service and the ambiance, it's worth a shot. JV read more

Two Stars: Reasoning- service was good. Only thing is you can't go here if you only want a little bite to eat. My girlfriend and I went here only to get some fried rice and miso soup. I asked the waitress if we could only do one all you can eat because we were getting such a small amount of food. So yeah apparently you have to do two app you can eats. So it costed us $70.00 for two small miso soups and a split chicken fried rice....: highly disappointed.... read more

The pricing has since changed from my original review...It is more around $33 now for dinner AYCE

Love this location!! Doing the all you can eat is a no brainer. The rolls are fresh and so delicious.

Now i remember why i keep telling myself i won't come back here. Service is poor, serving sizes aer not even serving size. My sashimi was smaller then a cm cube. Driver by servers drop and dash your food at your table. 27$ for dinner. Salmon, shrimp, talapia, white tuna all stringy. Red tuna was good. Cold, almost frozen in cubes again. Sushi was all in varying size. Again no quality control . Chunks of fish & tamago some tiny, odd shaped meat. Seaweed was chewy. Ordered fish row roll. Filed 1/3 full (see pictures) sad example. I wonder if these guys have ever made sushi before. 1hr later. Feel queezie. Daughter got sick last time (maybe a coincidence) wont be back. ~ read more

Very disappointed with this location today. Our military friend came back in town. He made us all a reservation for 6pm today for 10 people. We show up and they tell us our reservation is not until 630. OK find we wait. We finally get seated order drinks/alcohol and wait for food. We'll the workers in front come back to try and tell us we did not have a Reservation. He shows them his phone with the store # and time he called. They had a group of 24 people upfront that they tryed to say has the same name as our friend. His name is not commen. They tryed to tell us even though we ordered that we would have to leave for this larger group of people and that they could not accommodate us to be served at there location on this day. The spot we were sitting in only accommodate 12 people as that is what they told us when we check in and they tryed to kick us out for 24 people where would they put the other 12 people. Very disrespectful today and they did not bring us all the food we order. Left still hungry as they keep forgetting to bring items to the table. Plus we had a few special order as we had a adult that was allergic to certain items. She never got the items. Also when we went to leave the waitress stop the guys at our table to deman more tip some gave a tip and some did not but the stop them as the think they need more money. Aslo to add to the edit. That night I am pretty sure I now have food Poisoning. I think it came from the sexy girl roll. I order as it was crunchy and I have never had a crunch when eating that roll. read more

My friend treated me here for my birthday in November. We came here during lunch time, great deals for All You Can Eat (sorry forgot the price, just call them). I was being a spoiled girl cause I ordered almost everything, crazy...yea I know cause it was my birthday people!!! Well, in the end we didn't finish it all. Seriously we got EXTRA charged for not finshing the food. I felt so bad for my friend paying the extra...lesson learned for me! :( My waiter were a little slow, place was crazy packed, and food were excellent. Parking is free. Try to get there early so you don't have to wait long. read more

4 words: ALL YOU CAN EAT! It's fun to come here with friends that you know are hungry. If everyone in your group wants to do the all you can eat option, you can share your food and try a bunch of everything. This is the best option! Otherwise, you can always just order a few things to satisfy your appetite. A few of my favorite sushi: the sexy girl roll which is slightly spicy but not too overpowering. Also try the shrimp tempura roll. Who doesn't love shrimp tempura? The Kyoto roll was huge! It fell apart when I tried to bite into it. It wasn't my favorite tasting but it was still good to try something new. He dumplings are perfect. Try them and if you're still hungry, get more! Save some room for dessert of course! Try the red bean ice cream. It tastes like vanilla and we all know that green tea ice cream is just a safe bet.. But I do recommend red bean! read more

I am THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED with the service that I received at the Kyoto Sushi restaurant in Eagan on 1/4/2021. First, when placing my phone order, I made it very clear that I wanted SEAFOOD FRIED RICE, not shrimp fried rice. I've received shrimp fried rice in the past when seafood rice was requested. This time, I'm certain that this was INTENTIONAL! Additionally, the young lady who assisted me in-person was extremely RUDE and outright disrespectful. I handed her my debit card, and instead of placing it in my hand, the looked me in my brown face and placed it on the counter. She then placed the credit slip on the counter with a pen & said "sign this" with a very nasty tone. When I politely stated that I wouldn't sign with the pen provided unless she allowed me to use the hand sanitizer first, she again said, "Sign this!" The sanitizer was on the opposite side of the register, out of customers' reach, and the pen was used by anyone and everyone else who had to sign a credit slip. Unlike most places of business there were no cup holders to differentiate used vs. sanitized writing utensils. She finally slammed the sanitizer on the counter after my 3rd request. Needless to say, I will not patronize this restaurant again. As I initially stated, I've had issues with requesting one thing and receiving something different. No apology or effort was ever made to rectify the errors, and this time it happened after I clearly stated that errors were made in the past and that I wanted Seafood Fried Rice. I will mot spend money and tolerate blatant disrespect!! read more
