Good fish seems to be fresh. Service is seriously lacking. Needs a good waitress .they seem to be put off by early diners. Should be an opportunity. read more

I haven't found a rival for my fav sushi bar until today, not that I needed one as I tend to be fiercely loyal, but lunch today at Kyoto WOWED me and the bestie. Cute, intimate, authentic and fresh. Try the Superman and the albacore sushi. Oh and bestie had to have two salmon skin hand rolls to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke. Sweet people, excellent bites, loved it! read more

Kyoto Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Ventura, California

Kyoto Sushi is our favorite sushi restaurant in Ventura county!! The warm and friendly service, the authentic and fresh flavors of everything...It's almost therapeutic. Odd to say perhaps but this is true for my friend and I. Everything is consistent; Food quality - always fresh in flavor restaurant, customer service is consistently wonderful. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. The ambiance is inviting, perfect for an enjoyable meal and there's always great music playing. Plus it's always clean. Now, for the best part: the food. The cuisine is authentic and absolutely delicious. We order different sushi rolls and each one is a work of art--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even the basic rolls...not art but outstanding flavor and quality. If you like RAMEN....please try the seafood ramen here. My goodness, it's so good. I cannot recommend Kyoto Sushi enough. If you're in Ventura and craving authentic Japanese food in a clean, welcoming environment with incredible service, this is the place to go. We will definitely be back!! read more

Just had the chicken teriyaki Bento Box with mixed tempura for lunch, to go. Everything was absolutely delicious! Best chicken teriyaki I've had in a looooong time, and the tempura was perfect. Great rice, nice dressing on the salad, and the miso soup was good. Everything was freshly prepared with flavor in mind; you can tell that the chef cares. I'll bet the sushi and rolls are top-notch. Couldn't ask for a better lunch today. Will be back!! read more

Love Kyotos! Our go- to-spot. Food always slaps and is always a nice mellow setting to enjoy spending quality time with friends. Feels like home read more

Great food. Fresh sushi. Yummy ramen n soups. Great friendly service Highly recommend!!

My boyfriend and I have been here a few times already and it's hands-down our favorite sushi place in the area. This small hole in the wall place is cozy and welcoming, and the service is always exceptional. It's tucked in the back corner of a shopping center but don't miss out on visiting. Clarice goes above and beyond to make every visit special. She's very attentive, and remembers all the little details. Sean, the chef, consistently delivers some of the best sushi we've ever had. Every dish is fresh, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with care and passion. The sushi is well priced and worth every bite. I would highly recommend coming and getting some sushi and sake for a great date night. We will be back again. read more

Amazing food and service. Great prices and convenience. Never disappointed best tempura

The ambiance was very calm, warm, and friendly. The service was great! Our waitress was really sweet. The chef gave us 2 complimentary Gyoza, and they were absolutely, without a doubt, the best gyoza I've ever had. The crisp was insane, and the flavor was bursting! A wonderful surprise. We also got hot tea, which was and always is great and starts the meal off. I ordered a miso soup as I always like to see how good their soup is, it kinda sets the tone of the meal for me. It had tons of flavor, and felt like a hug to my stomach. My spouse ordered the Red Blossom Roll, she loved the roll and said it was very balanced with the salmon and tuna, and it had really good flavor, it was very fresh. Simple and delicious. I ordered the Las Vegas roll and really enjoyed it as well. The fry wasn't too heavy, and it didn't feel overly filling, it was the perfect balance of sweet, crunchy, salty, savory. We then shared the Calliand Roll, that was special! I have never tried anything like it. Sweet, but delicious, that melted cream cheese was just divine! We just moved to town and were starting our sushi spot search, but I don't feel we need to search anymore. It was 10/10 for us, we will be back, and often! Check them out if you're in the neighborhood, it's a small but mighty place! read more

Great food! Advise against ordering. Food is impeccable and delicious. I would order here again.

I've been here twice and I really love it. Their hot tea is delicious! It's like that gunpowder green tea - the flavor is POW! Delicious. I also love their Korean Ramen. It's pure comfort food. Their fried gyoza is perfect! For me it's little things... that make this place 5 stars. The music is great. Big speaker near the door that plays a great mix of music. Custom, not a radio station but a nice play list. The bathrooms are clean. The tables are roomy and seats are comfortable. Customer service is the best! The food is ALWAYS tasty! Lots of regular customers that always return! Ambience is great. Cozy, friendly, you feel welcomed. I really feel happy here. Definitely need that in our rush-rush world of fast food chains. It was raining.... The music was romantic and lovely. Definitely needed this little retreat in my life today. Thank you Shawn (or is it Sean?) for your great cooking and great service! Just love Kyoto Sushi! read more

The BEST sushi place in town! We love to try out different sushi restaurants all the time from all over the country, but this one takes the cake every time. Staff is extremely friendly, ambiance and music is always super comfortable. It might be tucked away, but Kyoto Sushi is a MUST visit when visiting Ventura! It is our #1 choice every time read more

We frequently order takeout or dine in here and were very disappointed in our recent experience. We called to place an order for pickup. Someone answered, immediately asked us to hold, and set the phone down. We could hear them finish a transaction with another customer and then continue with other work. We tried yelling into the phone to get their attention and it was evident we were forgotten. We ended up calling another sushi restaurant using a different phone, placing an order and picking it up during the time we continued to wait on hold. read more

Kyoto Sushi - Long wait time - Japanese Near Me - Ventura, California

Horrible!! I can usually eat sushi if it's OK but I can't if it's horrible. This is disappointing. Kyoto is better than this. These rolls taste like mush and they are loaded with a spicy Sriracha sauce and that is all I can taste. You're better than this Kyoto! read more

Kyoto Sushi - Spicy tuna and yellow tail rolls. - Japanese Near Me - Ventura, California

For full disclosure, I didn't mean to order from here. I thought I was ordering from Sushi Fresh by CVS and Vons. When I found out that I ordered from the wrong restaurant I decided to do the right thing and still pick up this order. Hindsight is 20/20. The sushi roll was a mess. This order is not a door dash delivery; I picked up my order after calling-in and this is the presentation. So disappointed! I don't think I can blame this on the c0vid or dinner rush as it was 3:55 pm when I ordered. The sauce container was half mayo/half eel and it wasn't even filled up to the top! The random tempura thrown around was burnt and I threw the pieces out the window. It just was a very bad experience and I'm still confused! (One positive thing is the avo tasted fresh). Do. Not. Recommend. read more

Kyoto Sushi - Hiroshima boat - Japanese Near Me - Ventura, California

We walked in and the smell of grease was pervasive. And the menu is heavy on the fried food. We prefer fresher, lighter kind of sushi. That being said, what we did order was fine. But we won't be going back. read more

When I was 14 and everything was embarrassing I came here with my mom and found a band aid in my sushi roll but I knew my mom would make a big deal about it so I quietly hid it and ate around it. The food always tasted good before but every time after my mom suggested we go to Kyoto, I thought of an excuse to go somewhere else. read more

First off, I am a germaphobe., so my eagle eyes are on when at a restaurant. I had one roll but noticed that the cook, which Im assuming is the owner - would go check people out in between preparing food. After handing money and touching the register, he would not wash his hands. I ate because my friend took me and I didn't want to make a huge deal but it's so unsanitary. My stomach hurt after eating there. Maybe it was a mental thing! It's a 2 person team and I know it's hard times but come on. Proper food handling is so important. It makes me question if they follow all health codes. I won't be back. When eating raw food, I am extremely careful. read more

My most recent visit the food wasn't as good as I had remembered. The rolls were good enough but I remembered it being amazing. I did try different rolls this time vs. the last time I was here. Break down of what we had: Pink Lady: good Salmon crunch roll: bland Dwb roll: good Caliland: good Jalepeno: meh Garlic edamame: gross (super salty) Plum wine: yuck But my last visit I had the k2 roll that was awesome. That's my 2 cents read more
