Kyoto Kitchen

Excellent Japanese restaurant, many unique dishes, all presented beautifully. I had three small…read moreplates. The best was black cod gyoza. Also a very good poached scallop dish, quite an interesting flavor. Lobster harihari was also interesting but the lobster flavor got a little lost. The mixed sashimi was wonderful, all the fish was fresh and well cut. Particularly liked the mackerel and always love tuna, tuna here was top quality. Finally, the wakame salad was surprisingly the star of the evening, it had some nice twists I wasn't expecting. Very enjoyable meal.

It's rare to find good Japanese restaurants outside London but Kyoto Kitchen is a gem that should…read morebe better known. Unfortunately people are still wary of raw fish and are uncomfortable with chopsticks, but both are easily mastered and sushi and sashimi are absolutely delicious. I have now been twice to Kyoto Kitchen, the first time for a birthday party and the second to cheer myself up after the Referendum result, and on both occasions the charming service (from a lovely Thai) and the delicious food were memorable, as are the light and fresh surroundings. After some warm salted edamame (delicious) we of course had sashimi and it was fine. Of course nothing compares to the sashimi one gets in Japan, but for the UK, the salmon, scallop and tuna were good. Yakkitori followed (but no 'gizzard' which is my favourite) and beef tataki, asparagus and scallops, gyoza, vegetable tempura, wasabi king prawns and scallops and superb black cod. Needless to say the rice was delicious but the sake was a little disappointing. I like a nice crisp, dry Niigata sake, but the staff don't know much about the drink. A place to return to as frequently as one can!
