Sushi's pretty good but i go for the tipinyaki! We do the chicken and steak for 2 which always leaves us with left overs. The rice is super addictive especially when you lather it with the signature yum yum sauce. Drinks are strong and the place is clean. Totally would do this for a birthday party or company event. read more

I believe there's been a change of ownership, and it shows. Went on a Saturday night. The waiter greeting us was visibly disappointed when we didn't want habachi, just sushi. I felt bad for a minute but then he brought us to a table where the cushions were so blown out that the table was coming almost to our chins. It felt vindictive and I didn't feel bad anymore. Things got even weirder after that. We asked about happy hour and he said you have to be sitting in the bar, we asked to move there. Get to the bar and there's no bartender.......why sit us there? Bizarre. He took our drink order and mocked me for my choices. "OMG, you think whiskey tastes good with sprite? Ew" I honestly didn't know how to respond, I've never had a waiter be so weird. Then instead of making the drinks, he disappeared and didn't come back. Finally had to flag down another waiter who took our order, made the drinks and put in our food order. The food has gone downhill. My spider roll was rolled so poorly I couldn't use chopsticks. Had to use my hands and pray it wouldn't fall apart. Most of it did. Crab tasted old. Prices have also gone completely out of control. There is no happy hour to speak of, 10% off isn't worth anything. And $11 for a Sapporo?!?!?!?!? That costs less than $4 in a store. This restaurant is paying less than that. Absolutely insane. This used to be a favorite spot but we won't be back. read more

The wife wanted hibachi for her birthday, so the wife got hibachi!!!! She has been to this place before but I haven't and my experience was absolutely epic! Our chef was super funny and super talented! Being as I made my bones in the culinary world I so enjoy watching my food being prepared in front of me! We both got hibachi for two and the entire meal was succulent and hot! Well prepared and well priced! The atmosphere is what you'd expect of a hibachi joint (I don't mind the noise as we shared tables with some nice people) Overall 10/10, would most definitely come back and would most definitely recommend to family and friends. If you ever find yourself in Kelso I most definitely recommend stopping by if you've the time! read more

My daughter and I came here for an early dinner right when they opened. We were greeted by everyone which was nice. The server was exceptional. She had a big smile and was very helpful since it was our first time. Food came out at the temperature it was suppose to. The Calamari was cooked near perfectly. 9.5/10 will absolutely come again to try the Hibachi next time! read more

This place is amazing! My bf took me there for my birthday and I was not disappointed! The service is amazing! I will happily go back! The shrimp and scallops were amazing and so much food! I love this place! The drinks are also amazing! read more

The food is wonderful and they put on quite a show when preparing it. I'm glad I wasn't paying as it's very expensive.

2nd visit to this place in a week. Went during lunch time and sat in the bar both times. Mary the bartender is a delight and made amazing drinks! It's a fun atmosphere, with lots of character and tons of tables. There's also a private room they rent out for private parties. On Thursdays they have 50% off a list of sushi rolls. Monday- Thursday you get $13 off hibachi during lunch. If you haven't tried them, it's time to get in there. read more

What a wonderful experience. Excellent food presentation, preparation, quantity..we didn't eat at the grill, as we had other meal in mind, but it sure isn't second best. Graduating eighth grader was made to feel so special by the staff that sang to her and used instruments..wow. Excellent all around experience read more

We took our 3 year old granddaughter to Kyotos yesterday for lunch. Our experience was wonderful. The food was delicious, the entire staff was wonderful and so gracious and kind to Emma. I didn't get the Chef's name but he was incredible. Thank you to everyone there that made our lunch perfect! read more

We really enjoyed the food. We got plenty of food. Cute and tasty drinks and lots of laughs! It was fun time!

We sat at table but most of us ordered from hibachi. Wait staff was very attentive. Drinks were good-- it's a festive kind of place. As I've read, it's odd they charge more than what menu says. Ex. Hibachi dinner for two people listed at $76.95. Bill arrives and charges you $78.00. Weird how dinner is served. One plate at a time came out for our party of 7. So 7 or 8 minutes later everyone has their dinner... well, when you are being polite and one of the first ones served, some of your dinner is not hit anymore. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves and food was pretty good. read more

My first time at a Hibachi restaurant. It was so much fun! We went for my moms birthday, had about nine people in our group. My mom loved it too! The chefs do a wonderful job at keeping everyone entertained and the food was phenomenal! You will definitely walk out with leftovers! Pricing isn't really too bad if you go with a small group or for date night. 10/10 recommend! I love this addition to small town Longview, absolutely wonderful! Thank you! (: read more

Food was delicious, our chef was entertaining and fun. Highly recommend.

We would definitely be going back. read more

Kyoto Sushi Steakhouse - Promoted to the moon. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Longview, Washington

Celebrating a birthday? This is the place with their hibachi service and entertainment! We opted to get sushi and sit in their dining area. Our service was top notch and the sushi was overall fantastic. Well, why the four stars instead of five? We ordered two rolls and a variety of sushi. Unfortunately the hamachi (yellowtail) was a bit off and the Escoral (super white tuna) was delicious but cut the wrong way, which made it difficult to bite and seem stringy. Minor complaints for the amount of sushi we ordered, which was overall fresh and tasty. If you visit Longview, this a tasty stop, even for the pickiest sushi lovers. read more

First time ever trying this restaurant for my birthday, and honestly it was an amazing experience! The decor was amazing, the place is very lively, staff seem friendly, and the birthday experience was fantastic! They gathered everyone and used instruments and sang, honestly a great experience. Now food wise. I will say this is the reason I gave this place 4 stars, my hibachi chef did the bare minimum on food performance. No tricks, no funny jokes, just sat there and made the food. The best part of going to a hibachi place is always the entertainment and I wish I got that, but I will say the food was absolutely delicious. I got the shrimp and steak hibachi with double rice, oh my gosh mouth watering. My husband got the chicken and steak and I will say he NEVER eats shrimp but he was asking for mine! Also the alcoholic drinks are very good. He tried the apple sake and it was very delicious, and I ordered a strawberry daiquiri and oh my gosh the presentation was amazing and the drink itself was soooo good. Will definitely be coming back! read more

We've been in here several times for dinner. Hubby has a bento box or tonkatsu, always good food. I'm a fan of the tempura, but I usually order the salmon lovers dinner and just pig out. The salmon is always delicious. But here's the not great: the kitchen and sushi bar are not at all synced up. On a couple of occasions, hubby's dinner has come out a good 15 minutes before my sushi. Pretty annoying. It would be a very good thing if the waitstaff communicated with the two in some constructive manner so things arrived together. Please? Overall, still really good food, a good vibe, and excellent spot for sushi. read more

Food and services was great. We will go back again soon. Very enjoyable. We ate in the dinning room but we have in the past enjoyed the hibachi read more

Id like to give this place a better review, it used to be an ok place to eat. I have had the past three experiences not meet expectations. The food is ok at best, and overpriced for the area. I have had one experience where the staff was sleeping in the bar area and we left as to not wake them. We have had an experience where the beef katsu tasted really off. This last experience had us wait for the hibachi which is normal, but once sat down and waited longer was told cocktails are not available (tell the customer before they are sat!) So beer was ordered. Then was told they only have coors light out of 8 beers listed. Very strange for a restaurant and it was enough for us to leave. We hoped for more but unfortunately will not be back. Good luck Kyotos, we did have like 2 good experiences many years ago. I have been in the restaurant industry for 20 years and I do know how things should work. You are missing the mark. read more

Where to even begin. I was working in the area and Kyoto's was suggested to me by a local. I had really high hopes for this place that fizzled out shortly after I entered the building. The decor is also like a weird retro 90s vibe, with wall to wall carpet. I ordered online with an ETA of 20 minutes. Perfect, I got there 25 minutes later, but food wasn't ready yet. No biggie. It was everything after that which really put me off. As I stood there patiently, a woman barked at me that I needed to wait while she dealt with other things and she'd get to me later. Ok. In the time I was waiting for my food, I watched the man and the woman who were handling online orders and payments at the front booth yell at other staff, argue with customers about their bill/applying discounts, and make distasteful comments in passing. The man was licking his fingers as he sorted through receipts and then turned right around to bag to-go orders without ever washing his hands or thinking twice. He also dropped a salad dressing on the floor and picked it up and threw it right in the bag. The food was 2-stars at best. The shu mai was inedible to me, hence the one bite in the photo was about all I could do. The beef was an odd texture and cold. Fried rice was average. The California rolls and tempura were good. Fortunately, I'm not in the area too often, but if I find myself in Longview I know where I WON'T be eating. read more

Sushi is so far absolutely by far one of the only and amazingly well done in Longview/ kelso area, idk if anyone can beat it. Try and you prob won't succeed. It is that good. Great portions on the grill, you will deff need to get a box let's put it that way. I talked personally with the staff, they can really hold a convo while doing everything all at once. I'm pretty impressed by far. Not to much rice but a whole bunch of flavor . Worth it. There's something for everyone literally. read more

Food was mostly good. Service was ok. Server was wearing cologne that gave me a headache. Not acceptable in the food industry. She messed up my husband's order but fixed her mistake quickly. I prefer my seafood not heavily sauced and it was all drowning in some sort of sauce. Even the delicately flavored lobster (overcooked) was drowning in sauce. My salmon was overcooked and not great quality salmon. Not sure if I will be returning. For the money I am not sure it's worth it. It's rated $$ but I'd say more like $$$. read more

Went here for my wife's B-Day. Food was awesome and the cook for our hibachi was awesome. The biggest complaint is the hostess or whoever she was, began to rush us out of our seats. We had barely finished our meal. Very Rude and inconsiderate. read more

Our group ordered everything, Lobster, Shrimp, Steak and Chicken. Everything was great except the Chicken. It's not Chicken, more like tofu or something other than meat. Just disgusting if you like chicken. Service was good, but they should be serving what they advertise. read more

Normally I have a great experience here and visit nearly once a week for lunch. However, today was not a good experience. I entered at about 12:30 (lunch time) and had to wait for an actual 5 minutes to be seated. Someone from the dining room finally came into the main lobby and found me near the host stand. This revealed that there had been a "manager" sitting behind the large counter, playing on their phone the entire time. They obviously didn't see me and I didn't see them. After I got seated, I ordered my regular steak and shrimp lunch that today came with burnt vegetables. It was not busy in the restaurant today, which would make me think they would be MORE attentive to guests coming in the door and preparing their food correctly. read more

Everything was amazing from the host the service to the waitress. It was the night before valentine day and busy but didn't have any issues at all. read more

Fabulous food! Great presentation too. Our waitress Bre was wonderful. She checked on us a few times (perfect amount) & always wore a smile. A÷ experience read more

This place is incredibly fun, but that's where the good review pretty much stops. We went out on a Sunday evening for a family birthday. There were 8 in our party and we were seated right away. When the server came over to take our orders, the first 6 people in our party ordered hibachi while my boyfriend and I tried to order sushi and yakisoba respectively. The server basically yelled in our faces letting us know we needed to just get hibachi because otherwise "it's going to take a full hour for your food" Um okay? Thanks for forcing us to choose from the most expensive options on your menu. I honestly immediately felt insulted and didn't want to buy anything from this place. Please don't bother looking through their menu because they won't let you order LOL. ALSO, the birthday girl who was turning 9 specifically asked for both plain white rice and fried rice. The white rice never came, probably that wild kitchen backup they pretend to have. read more

My wife and I loved this place so much. We went here to celebrate the start of an ozumo tournament (we love sumo wrestling) and were amused to find the large rikishi statues in the lobby. The staff was amazing. Everyone was very sweet and accommodating. And the food was absolutely incredible. We got some yakitori, beef ramen, katsu, gyoza and a couple deserts and everything was absolutely wonderful. I also got some fried rice and the portions were enormous and rice was delicious. Also try the Japanese beer! Very, very good! Lighting and the decor were all very pleasing. We will be coming here on many occasions. read more

I had the hibachi vegetables Was yummy but a bit more saucy than I am used to. Others in our party had the Mignon which was delicious as well. My recommendation would be to create a delicious spicy dipping sauce. Our chef was excellent! read more

We ended up here after our planned restaurant for the evening had a long wait. Drinks at the bar before dinner were great. They have all the fun drinks you normally see at Asian restaurants and the prices were really good. Dinner was eh. I am not a big fan of Japanese redtaurantscwuth the hibachi. Mainly because of all the sauces and seasoning they use on the meats. My filet and scallops were just ok. Rice was very good. Vegetables were ok. Again everything tastes the same with the spices and sauces. Overall it's an ok restaurant but likely would only go for drinks next time or try the sushi. read more

Stoked to have stumbled upon this beautiful spot. We parked outside and looking at the storefront I wouldn't imagine it to be so spacious inside. Beautiful decor on the interior, from the trim to the traditional Japanese design. I'd say the only thing better than the interior layout was the food; although it was SAUCY- it was delicious. The salmon literally peeled apart upon first bite. The Beef Ramen was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Highland roll and the Black Dragon roll, I would highly recommend the Highland roll. My lady ordered Seafood Udon (if I remember correctly) and the rootbeer was delicious HALF PRICE ON WEDNESDAYS, ON TOP OF ALREADY DECENT PRICING FOR THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD. Bomber waiter- Brandon was our waiter and we will be back IF the food was as good as it was last time. The service I would not doubt will be as good as it was last time, Brandon was very respectful to us and it was hard to top his respect for us . His knowledge of the food was top notch, I'd consider this a 3-5 star restaurant. It wasn't too busy so that might be a reflection of why the food was so good, although I would beg to differ that their food is usually pretty bomber. Although this was our first time, we will be back based upon the customer service. The waiter, Brandon, showed nothing but respect for my lady and I and it is much appreciated. Hard to find this kind of service in The Highlands...... Thank you for this refreshing service, God Bless! read more

Spicy tuna roll tasted like cat food rolled up in rice. The egg rolls were clearly cheap, frozen variety. The crawfish roll was mediocre hence the 2 star instead of one star. read more

After I moved away from the area, this restaurant opened up and I kept seeing posts from friends and family on social media about how wonderful the food was. I made a mental note to try it out if I had the chance on my next visit back home, and last week I was finally able to do so. If you're wanting to eat at the grill, be prepared to wait. They will generally see if more people are coming in as to maximize the number of diners being attended to by one chef. We had excellent timing and actually filled the spaces others were waiting on, so we spent no time waiting, and were actually rushed to place our order. We made it in time to be able to take advantage of the lunch prices, and I still cannot believe the amount of delicious food we got for such an incredibly low and reasonable price. I got the Hibachi Sukiyaki Steak, while almost everyone else at the grill ordered the filet mignon. I stood by my decision, and I'm very glad I did. The food had such wonderful flavors, and the dipping sauces only enhanced them. I had an ice water with my meal, and have no regrets -- it was refreshing and actually had great flavor. So, for about $8.62 I had a fantastic meal, a delicious water, entertainment, and a nice visit with family and a friend. So, if you haven't tried this place yet, do yourself a favor and get in there as soon as you can! read more

Kyoto Sushi Steakhouse - Hibachi grill with the beginning of a fabulous meal. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Longview, Washington

I gave this place a while before trying like I do with all new restaurants. So they can work out the kinks and whatnot. Well today was the day. I took a friend. We ordered gyoza appetizer, tuna maki roll, chicken teriyaki with miso soup, and the spicy shrimp ramen. Well they ended up bringing salad out instead of the miso soup...strike one. The gyoza and sushi were really good. The chicken teriyaki (came with fried rice) was a very small portion and the rice was meh. The spicy shrimp ramen came out in this ridiculously weird bucket thing... it was alright, the mushrooms in the ramen were disgusting. Shrimp was over cooked. I also ordered a margarita which was very watered down. The two stars are for the gyoza and sushi. I will go back there but only for the sushi and gyoza sadly. read more
