This was such a cute spot! Definitely feels very cozy and like an izakaya. They do Japanese home cooking. Everything is made fresh on the spot. You order on an iPad. I came for lunch and really liked my miso pork katsu bento. It came with miso soup. My friend liked his yakisoba with tofu. They have a large menu that can accommodate vegetarians. The staff is super sweet and food came out pretty quick. I love their big Japanese dessert menu since they have things like dango and Mont Blanc and mochi.
How does this place only have a 4.2?! I read through many and it seems that the pricing has a lot of folks disappointed but I didn't feel that way at all. Albeit I did go during lunch hours which typically reflect lower prices. I'd much rather pay a little more for quality and care than otherwise. I had the Kakiage bento and my husband had the Katsudon- both amazing. Honestly, I don't even know if the Katsudon was on the menu- my husband asked the owner if they made it and he said he would make it especially for him. I ate every single morsel and my husband basked in nostalgia. The owner is incredibly kind, the restaurant is beautiful and traditional. Although we could have ordered via the tablet the owner placed the order for us. We absolutely cannot wait to return.
Four of us went at 6:30pm yesterday for dinner. The inside is small and cozy with limited seating. We family styled a lot of different things so we got to try basically half the menu. Everything we tried was delicious! My faves were the yasai kakiage (it's deep fried but has veggies so it's healthy!), bacon mochi (the flavor and textures were incredible), the yakisoba with beef, and the crunchy and lightly sweet kinako mochi puffs! The service was very fast and we got all our food and paid by 8pm.
3.4/5 Stars This place is gorgeous. The decor and the atmosphere is SO lovely. The items here contain mostly Japanese street food and small bites here and there. I think it's a bit pricy for what you're paying for. I would say if you know that you like the items offered here, this restaurant will deliver what you're asking for, but nothing beyond. My okonomiyaki with yakisoba tasted pretty solid, but I wouldn't pay the price for it again. My friends yakisoba portion seemed pretty lackluster and wasn't particularly flavorful or well made. He commented his noodles lacked freshness. If youre a lover of japanese food, give this place a try if you're willing to spend a lot on items you could realistically recreate much more affordably/satisfyingly at home. This place benefits a lot from its location though, lots of lovely buildings and establishments surrounding it. I'd return here to try the dessert and maybe a drink next time.
A beautiful flight of delicious food and fancy. We really enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the Chef's do their thing. I would definetely recommend making a reservation on peak nights if you want a table- either way you will receive great service. My favorite was the salmon Teppanyaki. I have never had such crispy salmon skin. Do not skip the takoyaki. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Hiroshimayaki (the pancake just wasn't my thing) but my partner cleared the plate happily! Drinks were also great and good variety.
This was a very disappointing visit. 1. Okonomiyaki was essentially a oversized cabbage patty with bonito flakes. There was just enough egg to bind it. I definitely would not describe it was pancake. $11 for one of the cheapest vegetables - absolutely not worth it. It literally just taste like cabbage. Even my fiance's mother's cabbage/spam (Irish tradition), which everyone dislikes including herself, is more flavorful. 2. Beef gyudon was an absolute joke. Gyudon is typically made with the cheapest but if meat. For $11, this came in one of those small Styrofoam type bowls that sits in the palm of your hand (expect not made of cardboard instead of Styrofoam). This was probably like 4 oz of gristle and a scoop of rice. There's this authentic Japanese (owned by Japanese immigrants) on Philadelphia next to where I live that sells this for $14, but four - five times the serving. I wear a size 4.5 ring as a grown adult. The size of the $11 beef gyudon bowl is comparable to the size of my hand. 3. Yaki onigiri - rice ball the size of a small palm for $3. Not crispy, did not taste any of the smokey goodness that comes the grilling. Sushi rice used overcooked since it was gummy and mushy in the inside. As a Philadelphian visiting my home town, everything is cheap to me (including LeMont and Monterey Bay in Mount Washington) since that's how overpriced everything is in Philadelphia and Manhattan. Kytoto is hands down the biggest rip off and is the first place i fee that is unrightfully more expensive. None of what we ordered (which were very basic items) tasted better than what I have had in Philadelphia and NYC, but yet costed much more/similarly. Severely overpriced for very average food and every more below average portions. Server was nice, which helped my personal overall rating. My friend confirmed her will not be returning either. This was my first time - he brought me here so we could sit on the floor,but that area has been converted to restaurant storage. I especially do not like I'm giving small businesses negative reviews. I am more likely to not say anything,but my one friend once made a point that it is a learning opportunity for the owners/managers, if they even see it.
Authentic Japanese restaurant in my neighborhood of Highland Park. Was introduced by my wonderful friend and I'm glad I finally made my way to it. They have indoor dining but seating is limited so recommended to reserve in advance. Loved the vibes of the restaurant felt very at home. The waiters were very friendly and food was very tasty. The servings were a good portion I carried home my dish to have another day. We ordered the Ozeki drink, tasted like a milky wine and was sweet, I enjoyed it. We also had the Takoyaki which was filled with some diced octopus (very chewy) great snack and starter. Then ordered the Hiroshimayaki mine was filled with shrimp and corn and my friend had beef and bacon. It's a Japanese pancake layered with noodles and egg and your choice of fillings. We topped it off with Mochi for dessert which was stuffed with a sweet red bean filling. Texture was different for me but it was delicious. Definitely check them out!
It is one of the Pittsburgh restaurants that my wife and I regularly go to for dinner. I like Hiroshima yaki with pork, miso katsu and tako wasabi. My wife loves karaage. On a weeknight when we're tired from work, having dinner here is somehow comforting.
Authentic Kyoto style Japanese food. The Ambience and setting takes you to Japan... you can watch the chefs cook your food right in front of you if you sit at the bar. This is a family run and super friendly staff makes sure you feel at home. The cold unfiltered sake was delicious and a must try The shrimp tempura was so so delicate and crunchy melting in your mouth. All dishes were made fresh and tasted yummy. A must try for the entire family
The okonomiyaki is otherworldly It melted in my mouth! The best I've had so far in Pittsburgh! Please try for yourself! The unagi bento box and shrimp tempura are also good. Very cute Japanese decor on the wall and off the ceiling, creating a homey vibe along with the wood tables. The waiters were warm, fast in filling water and bringing out the food. We had to wait a bit for a free table but still would definitely come back!
One of my favorite spots for smaller plates. My fiancé and I like to order a bunch of different dishes, and there are some we always have to get. We are big fans of the Hiroshimayaki and Kushi Dango (dessert). This most recent visit, we also ordered chicken karaage, octopus karaage, and gyoza. All tasty, but the chicken karaage was especially juicy. If you choose to dine in, there are cool Japanese style decorations, and the open kitchen is a nice touch. Really fun spot.
Prices are reasonable to me but maybe a bit high to some. Portions are good to me- not too much or too little. Good quality Asian alcohol options. Some relatives of mine felt that the quality of the food wasn't on par but I am like you aren't going to really find anything more in this area unless you know how to make it yourself. I like their dessert options although I wished they had a fried mochi option for dessert instead of the stick of green tea mochis with the red bean paste on top . I had the fancy delicious pancake with addl squid, plum wine, yuzu sake, eel w rice, and sampled leftovers from others in my group. Some relatives of mine said that the rice should have had more seasonings and vinegar and sugar . I thought it'd be fine either way. shrimp tempura was nice Miso soup was disappointingly watery- I could've done a better job myself on that one. The waitress was very friendly and seemed like she had a lot to do On her own- too much To no fault of her own. I mean I was in a group of 8 and thankfully we made reservations. Dining is currently possible outdoors only.
What a great Japanese street food experience. Loved the interior and exterior of this place as well as the super friendly service. I ordered kimchi pork which was straight gas. The pork was so tender and juicy, and the kimchi was the perfect amount of pickled honestly. The onions were a nice touch. As for the Okonomyaki, it was a first for me and i thoroughly enjoyed it. Topped it off with pork because I wanted protein read more
Another fantastic meal at Teppanyaki Kyoto! With family visiting, this was the first spot on my list. We sat at the traditional tatami table with so many of my favorite bites. Service is always amazing, interior is so cute and has cool seating options like tatami! Highly recommend. read more
I went in a group, and we split a lot of different items. The seaweed salad was good (4/5), and the pork gyoza was all right (3/5). The takoyaki has a crunchy outside and a good flavor (4/5), and the okonomiyaki is pretty filling (4/5); these were the best two. The yaki-udon with shrimp was ok (3/5) but definitely expensive for what it was and the quantity; they also don't add much shrimp, despite the up charge. The sake no shioyaki was below average for salmon (2/5) and very expensive for that amount they give you. Similarly, the onigiri is almost entirely rice if you add salmon (2/5). You order on a tablet, and they bring the food out. Service was ok (3/5); we had empty waters for a while. The restaurant is well-decorated, and you can see the chefs work, which gives it an ambiance somewhat like a hibachi place (4/5). Overall, I think most of the items are pretty expensive for what they are; they don't have the quality or quantity to justify the price. read more

Delicious authentic Japanese food, about the closest thing you get in PGH. Tasted just like the same dishes I tried in Kyoto. The okonomiyaki was great, and they make some of the best takoyaki I've ever had. The servers were extremely kind and the seating was also very cozy. Would absolutely recommend to anyone that wants to try real Japanese food, past ramen and sushi. read more

I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed this food! I haven't been to too many Japanese restaurants, but I think this is one of the best I've tried. This was my first time trying everything I ordered. The menu has many unique options, but I decided to try the okonomiyaki (Japanese cabbage pancake, without any add one), kushi dango (sweet rice balls with red bean paste), dashi maki (Japanese omelette), and korokke (fried vegetable and potato patties). All of them were excellent. The star of the show had to be the okonomiyaki. The price was quite reasonable for the portions (not too big, but not small either). It was bonded with a fair amount of eggs. There was some seaweed or something of that sort on top, alongside some Japanese Mayo or some similar sauce. The cabbage and vegetables were crunchy and overall, this was fantastic! I can't wait to try one again. Must get this if you come here. The dashi maki was quite good as well. The texture was a bit unpleasant to me, but this could be because it doesn't travel well. Flavor-wise, it was on the sweeter side. Decent portion. They sprinkle some spicy flakes on top. Still, quite a good and light appetizer or snack. The korokke was extremely tasty as well. They were large and crispy; a fair deal for the price, I think. There were little pieces of peas, corn, and other vegetables inside, but it was mostly mashed potatoes with some crispy coating and fried. They serve it with a delicious, slightly sweet sauce, which also has a little blob of Mayo. So good! The dessert was unique and interesting. The rice balls (kushi dango) were chewy, but did not have much sweetness to them. The bean paste was what had most of the flavor, and it was very tasty. They come on a little skewer. For a very reasonable $3, why not give it (or one of their other desserts) a try? This is a good option for those that want dessert, but don't have a huge sweet tooth. All in all, I am very happy with my order. I tried many unique items and appreciate having this option in Pittsburgh. The food is very high quality and the portions are quite decent. Highly recommend! read more

There are lots of regulars that love this place, and with good reason. It's a very welcoming Japanese restaurant with authentic cuisine. Although they are called Kyoto, the restaurant features foods from other regions of Japan, especially the Okonomiyaki pancakes from the city of Hiroshima. So while the owner is from Kyoto, her husband was trained to cook Okonomiyaki. There's a wide range of Sake, Beer and Shōchū, oddly there is no Shōchū made from sweet potatoes, which is fairly common in Japan. The Sakura Mochi was a delectable finish to a wonderful meal. The sweet rice cakes filled with a delicious bean paste quite hit the spot. read more
It's been a long time since my last visit in early 2020. A lot of things have changed - they use paper plates for appetizers, which looks cheap...also they don't have Yakitori anymore, which is disappointing. All other dishes we ordered were yummy though, especially the Okonomiyaki, highly recommend! read more
A hidden gem in Highland Park. Eating in is a wonderfully authentic Japanese experience bur takeout is also a great idea. I love their gyoza and I always like to try something new, like the chicken Katsu and the pancake. So good! read more
What a wonderfully cozy restaurant! It seems that a Japanese family operates the business and a lot of the dishes taste just like the ones I used to enjoy in Japan as a little kid. The Okonomiyaki and Hiroshimayaki (Hiroshima variant of okonomiyaki only available for dinner) brought back so many memories of my own mother making them after school. The chicken curry and takoyaki are also my favorites to order from here along with dry Japanese beer of course. Pricing is fair for the city. read more
Low-key, cheap, but interesting Japanese food. Located right in the middle of a small set of restaurants very close to Highland Park. Family friendly kind of place. Small space inside makes for a pretty intimate feel. We sat at a table with some bamboo overhead, which was kind of fun and well-themed. Very friendly service! My fiance and I got the famous pancake that the restaurant is known for - Okonomiyaki. It's a mix of cabbage, noodle, egg, whatever meats you add (for $1-3 dollars each), and is topped with fish flakes. Very good flavor and an interesting dish! Haven't ever had this kind of thing before, which made it fun. The base pancake with no add-ins is just $11. We also got a chicken katsu plate (I am surely spelling it wrong). This was more or less chicken and gravy, but with Asian-style, curry-flavored gravy, on a large bed of white rice. So very basic on one hand, but on the other hand kind of an interesting take on chicken and gravy. Pretty filling, only $13. They have 12oz bottles of Sapporo for just $5. read more

A rare find of a restaurant throughout the US, Teppanyaki Kyoto serves the less commonly found Japanese food (sushi, teriyaki bowls, ramen) and instead has okonomiyaki, hiroshimiyaki, fried snacks. This place reminds me of Japan greatly, and would be a great place to hang out with friends after work with a beer or two. Their food doesn't blow me out of the waters, but that's in comparison to Japan. However, I would love to go back again because I love hiroshimiyaki and the vibes! The agedashi tofu was also a must! read more

We were super excited to try out this spot since we heard great things, but our experience was just alright. They have very limited seating due to COVID, so make sure to call in for a table before visiting. Everything is served on paper plates/bowls, which slightly affected our experience dining in. We ordered a variety of appetizers, deep fried dishes, okonomiyaki, and a bottle of plum wine. The fried plates were definitely the stars; agedeshi tofu was extremely tender and paired well with the sauce and the tako karage would have been stellar if it came out hot. The tako wasabi and okonomiyaki were novel and we were glad we tried, but we wouldn't order again. The plum wine is delicious! Overall, it was a fun experience with new foods to try, but the meal wasn't very impressionable. read more

Great experience dining here for the first time last weekend for a friend's birthday! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I heard from a few people that I needed to try a variety of dishes to get the full experience, so I did just that. I tried the seaweed salad (delicious, classic), korokke (mashed potato and veggie patties, so rich and yummy), kimchi (some of the best I've had), yaki udon with pork (very big portion and very fresh), and a yaki onigiri (grilled ball of rice wrapped in seaweed, so comforting) - all were delicious and so simple yet flavorful! I also tasted some of my husband's dishes, including the gyoza (simple and perfectly cooked), tako karaage (deep fried octopus), and kamo negi (a SUPER flavorful duck and veggie sauté). Everything was great and authentically Japanese, and I highly recommend veering out of your comfort zone and trying something you may never have tried before. It's a small place, so I recommend calling to make a reservation! Cannot wait to return and try something new! read more
