I'm something of a sushi connoisseur -- no actually I'm a fanatic. We (extended family and friends) have been coming to Kyoto in Savage since they opened and we're never disappointed. There are plenty of excellent choices for those of us who don't go for the raw fish (but that's not me). The fish is always fresh and the salmon (my favorite) is fantastic. Last thing, don't miss the Ice Cream -- Green Tea, Red Bean(?!?!?) and Strawberry flavors. read more

This place is just fine, nothing too special. Seemed like a popular place for young families on a week night. Quality was just ok. Tempura was lukewarm, rolls were ok, sauces were ehh. I didn't care for the hand rolls. Fried rice was weird. Miso soup was ok. Best thing was the sashimi. Stick to the basics. I wouldn't rush back, but with an ayce craving it does the job. read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but a negative experience warrants a negative review. We went for AYCE dinner. I don't know what our server's problem was, but she did not want to stop at our table. It's all you can eat...meaning you're going to have to take multiple orders? And my husband and I are not high maintenance people - I think she came to our table 4 times in total. When we tried to place an order with multiple items so she didn't have to make as many trips, I listed a few things that I wanted and she closed her notebook, ready to walk away, when I asked my husband what he wanted to order. Her response? "Oh, I thought that was the order for the table." Mmk, lady. I'll keep my other thoughts and choice words to myself. Food was fine. Not exceptional. read more

The Kyoto has Wonderful Food, and the Service was very good. The dining room is very large, but comfortable. The seafood was fresh, and Scallops and Shrimp were well prepared and very tasty. The Beef was delicious, and tender, as was the pork. Kyoto is a "Happy" fine restaurant, that should Satisfy all Diner's palate. We are now Regulars. Thanks Kyoto! read more

Kyoto/Kyota(? the name is different on the outside of the restaurant) is a staple in the Twin Cities; it's got a lot of variety & their sushi is fairly reasonably priced (I think around $31 for all you can eat). A couple of friends & I stopped in for dinner on a Friday night; the restaurant itself is a little depressing, with low lights, windows covered in clings, & kind of strange decor. The floor was super slippery & I almost fell, not sure what that was about. We ordered a fairly large amount of food to start with, & it came out as it was ready, which was nice. Each time we ordered, though, we were missing at least one thing we'd ordered; not a huge deal, but it's annoying to not know whether it's still coming (& you may get double), or if they just missed it. The sushi itself was pretty good, not the best I've ever had, but good for the price. In all, I'm sure I'll be back to at least one Kyoto location, but I wouldn't go here expecting the best sushi you've ever had. read more

Finally stopped in for the all you can eat sushi. $30 was a good price for all you can eat sushi rolls, appetizers, dessert. Drink is xtra. Waitress was very attentive. The rolls were tightly prepared and they were very good. I love the shrimp Tempura and many of the appetizers. I especially like the fried mushrooms & spring rolls. I was too full for dessert. I will be back to try different rolls. read more

Kyoto Sushi - Fried scallops and crunchy shrimp roll - Japanese Near Me - Savage, Minnesota

Few things: the Sushi rice tasted old. (This is where food sickness comes from.) I appreciated the AYCE lunch price of $24, when we walked in. However, I could have got better sushi at a gas station. There were a total of maybe 5 "parties" in the entire restaurant, and we were all seated next to each other. 0/10 we will not return. Save your money and get sushi from a grocery store! read more

There's a smaller variety of all you can eat sushi for the lunch menu. They don't have any deep fried options for the lunch menu which is a little disappointing. The server was attentive. The area is a quiet intimate setting. read more

All you can eat sushi? Say less. They have both menu options or the AYCE. If you want to try a lot of things I highly recommend the AYCE. We had a large party but it was split between two servers. There weren't any mistakes made and we had enough room. The only downside had been the bathrooms which had a distinct and off putting smell. read more

Returned to this location after an over-year-long break, hoping beyond hope that this time I would be able to leave with a positive experience from this restaurant. Unfortunately, I was left dissatisfied with the quality of the food for the price and disappointed with the service provided by the wait staff. Every time I have attempted to create a positive memory with this restaurant, I am increasingly let down by how low the standards are allowed to slip. After this last experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend it to others. There are a number of other local eateries in the area that would offer you much better quality, value, and service for your money. Not worth your time or money. read more

This is officially my go to sushi place. Service can be a tad slow at times, but the food makes up for it. It has a chill ambience that could be casual among friends of a great place for a date. read more

Parking is great. The service was outstanding today - best service we've ever had there. We ordered a variety of rolls and they were delicious. It's a great place to go and share a variety of sushi with a group of people. My older son even got a birthday cheesecake and ice cream with a candle. read more

Hits the spot when I'm really hungry but not the best AYCE sushi spot overall. Friendly and fast service but pricey at $31/pp for AYCE. I can't really say if any one dish stands out but we try to get something from each menu section. Large dining space for large groups and plenty of parking. read more

My wife and I are not sushi snobs, so we love the concept of Kyoto and their AYCE menu. There are a ton of choices to choose from including sushi, rice dishes, noodles, appetizers, panko fried dishes, and teriyaki grilled dishes. You really cannot go wrong. We like to choose a couple rolls at a time and then sample a little bit of everything off the menu. We especially enjoy the Kyoto Roll and the Spicy Dragon Roll. Service is very quick so do not think you have to order everything you want to try all at once. They can turn out those sushi rolls very quick. Also, don't be foolish and fill up on rice side dishes too fast (but do make sure to try the BBQ Eel Fried Rice), make sure you leave room to enjoy some shrimp teriyaki, fried scallops, and panko breaded prawns as well as your sushi! Yum! If you leave hungry you did something wrong. read more

It's one of my favorite sushi places to go to. Especially when I moved from the west coast. I love coming here on my day off with a friend or two. And splitting sushi with them. They always give you plenty of wasabi and ginger. And if you ask politely they give you an extra bowl so that you can have more soy sauce. I always get the water no ice with my meal. So I can't comment on their drinks. But their sushi is amazing. I absolutely love it. It melts in your mouth. Or crunches. Just like it's supposed to. I've had some of their tempura. And it's super yummy as well! The staffing is on top of things. They don't over crowd you and bug you. Yet they keep an eye out when your plates get empty and need a refill. I keep coming back. And glad they reopened! read more

I Went in for dinner, it's located in a strip mall. The price is about $26 per person, if you go with an appetite it is worth every bit of it. There menu contains are allot of cook items for those of us that are not a fan of sushi, the Teriyaki and freind Items on the menu were delicious and the food keeps coming. If I had a complaint it would be that the service is slow and less than attentive, that may have been because it was the dinner hour, I'll have to go back at a different time to verify. read more

Keep in mind this is an AYCE joint, so the sushi they crank out isn't Park Avenue. However, for the concept, its pretty damn good. I've started coming here on an approximately bi-weekly basis with at least eight other co-workers at open to enjoy drinks and some decently good food. They are very patient with our group and bring the food out in a timely manner. The beef teriyaki is a highlight, as are the gyoza. I've tried the spring rolls twice and I'm not a big fan. They are minimally packed and have tasted mushy both times I've ordered them. My favorite sushi rolls at Kyoto are the Snow Mountain roll and the roll that comes with a wasabi sauce on top of it. Just a note when you order dessert and I apologize if someone else has commented on it...when they offer ice cream, the "banana" is actually vanilla. read more

I love the all you can eat menu! There's so many options to choose from. You definently won't leave hungry if you eat here; if you do, it's your own fault! My favorite rolls are: Kyoto Roll Crazy Roll Volcano Roll #9 Roll Tempura Roll read more

I'm very disappointed in the waitress . We ordered salad and When we receive the salad it was literally sinking in the sauce. We showed her and asked if we could get another and she literally scolded at us like we were kindergarten kids. It took the world for me to hold back and not respond to her . I notified the manager but by this time my mood was completely turn off. Could barely eat anything. read more

Kyoto Sushi - Chicken wings - Japanese Near Me - Savage, Minnesota

It's decent sushi and convenient for an all you can eat, however it's gone up over $10 per person in the last year and a half while service declined. Was very impressed my first time in 2020, however it's not the same now. Food for thought - if finances aren't a problem, it's good sushi and (REALLY good ice cream) however a typical weekday dinner for two will be roughly $80-$100 easy and don't expect 5 star service. read more

I love me some sushi! The issue I have though is that my stomach is bigger than my wallet. As a result, I have to go to all-you-can-eat sushi establishments to compensate for the bottomless gullet that is my tummy. Kyoto is the place to be! The staff is friendly and attentive, the food is fresh and reasonably priced. In going to an all-you-can-eat sushi establishment, the quality of the food will not necessarily be on par with a per roll charged joint, and that is my only reason for rescinding the one star. Otherwise, come here, feel welcomed, get the Itis (i.e. that drowsy feeling you get from eating a large meal), and be prepared to have your taste buds thank you for the experience! read more

Yes, I'm rating the Savage and Eden Prairie locations separately. Even though they all seem to have the same overall look/feel, they are VERY different! Food: I feel like the sushi itself is actually a little better here, but not by much. They do something different with their peanut roll here that my husband prefers. It's great food for the price you pay. Service: It seems to be a TEENY bit slower here and I know we usually end up missing parts of our order. Since it's AYCE, we end up just ordering whatever's missing the next time rather than splitting hairs. Atmosphere: It seems to be a busier restaurant, so somewhat louder as well. Still very enjoyable! Overall still a great place, but seems to have its own "flavor". If you're in the area, stop on by! read more

AYCE sushi buffet that comes with unlimited appetizers, nigiri, sashimi, noodle and rice dishes as well as desserts. Think they only offer ice cream for dessert though. Don't hate me if I'm wrong. The concept is rather easy. You pick a few things off the menu and server comes out with them. You can order as much as you want and as often as you want. Just make sure you finish what you order otherwise, they'll charge you for wasted food. The quality of fish is just OK. Not the highest quality obviously! And also not the crappiest unlike some of the Asian style buffets that offer sushi. If you're craving for sushi, come here and get your grub on. Sometimes I'm tired paying $100 for a sushi lunch or dinner for 2. Come here and you can walk away fully satisfied for a little over $25 a person. I've tried the other Kyoto locations and this one is the best. read more

Phenomenal lunch deal of All-You-Can-Eat sushi. My roommates are constantly trying to coordinate all of our retail schedules to go eat there. The price is an affordable 17$ give or take with tax, not including beverages. There is a small surcharge if there is leftover sushi, but the percentage is small. The all you can eat does include the ramen, appetizers, and other dishes. So, even if you are not a huge sushi fan there are a great many options for you to choose from so you leave full and feeling the 17$ was well spent. I have never had bad service nor have I had any complaints post meal about the food. Definitely a place I recommend going for lunch over dinner as the dinner price is closer to 25$ for the same All-You-Can-Eat deal. I would like to mention this review is being done by a person who has never gotten sushi in the cities that are proclaimed to be amazing sushi towns. I don't know comparably how Kyoto measures up, but from this Minnesota girl's point of view it is two thumbs up! read more

All you can eat sushi, sashimi, ramen, soup, tempura teppanyaki and more! I enjoyed this a bit too much! So much variety! Our servers were nice. The food is make to order, so they give you an all you can eat buffet menu, the server takes down what you want, brings back the food and typically comes back when youre done with your first round! The red bean ice cream is super delicious! I suggest you try that one! Its part of the buffet menu. I wish I ate more now that I am back at home. The one thing I didn't like was that the rice is not cold and pretty much everything you eat (sushi, sashimi related) is pretty much room temperature. But that didn't stop me from enjoying all the food coming out! I recommend trying this place, it was a new, fun experience for me! read more

Okay, I freaking LOVE it his Kyoto, but upon going there this last week, it's apparent there's a new sushi chef or something. So I'm quite disappointed and wanted to give this a 3 star, but I love coming here too much to do that. Anyway, they decreased the amount of sushi rolls and got rid of my favorite one... 'Twas a very sad day for Shelby... the rolls we did have, though, the Sexy Girl and Crazy roll, were not disappointing. With the exception of the Philadelphia and Spicy Salmon roll, we had to gag those down so we wouldn't be charged... as usual the beef teriyaki was good--not a great cut of meat tonight, unfortunately. Overall, definitely recommend Kyoto to friends and family--it's a great suburban sushi option read more

Kyoto Sushi is a all you can eat sushi franchise, that has been popping up all over Minnesota in the last few years. The sushi is ok at best, but they have a wide range of surprisingly good appetizers. If they only sold sushi I would not be recommending anyone to them, frankly you can better sushi at Target. But if you are in the mood for a lot sushi roles and a lot of Appetizers then you may want to check out Kyoto Sushi. If you are not feeling very hungry or want sushi they you can be impressed with I would not recommend Kyoto Sushi to you. 2/5 -Trenton V read more
