"Best in Overland park!!" by J and D Freeland
We are regulars here so I have to admit that right off. As picky as we are, we know good sushi!
D is a Sushi fanatic and we have tried all the local sushi bars but this is by far the best.
We know the owner (family owned) and the sushi chefs know us too. They use only the best, fresh ingredients and are always willing to give you a taste or try of something new. Kyoto has gotten tons of local awards and with cause. When you are landlocked in Kansas, its hard to get super fresh, best quality sushi but Kyoto gives you that!
If you arent a sushi fan (which Im not) they have a fantastic fresh crab salad and their teppan-yaki dinners are always good. I order the steak and shrimp combo and they bring it out hot off the grill while D is gobbling his sushi. Nice KC strip steak, cooked to order with some super fresh shrimp topped only with salt, pepper and lemon! Fantastic!
Something else I must point out even though its more Chinese than Japanese is Kyoto has THE BEST FRIED RICE IN THE STATE OF KANSAS OR MISSOURI!!! No matter what you order, you must have a sample of this.. just amazing.
If you love good, fresh sushi served by people who will get to know you and serve you to order- this is the place. There are cheaper places and more expensive places... but there arent better places! |

As good as sushi can get -- in the Midwest!
by GFullerInc Kansas City Jul 10, 2009
I have had sushi from all around the world, and when I am in Kansas City, I like to have an occasional fix of sushi. Kyoto's food is really tasty, and I particularly am a fan of the rice they use, in that it is not extremely sticky and difficult to consume like some sushi is. The service was superb, and (not that this matters to everyone) there were a couple very attractive servers who were very sweet and attentive as well!
When you sit in the little side rooms, the servers even remove their shoes before coming in, which I thought was great and very true to authentic Japanese establishments. The only downside was the layout of the restaurant, as it also has the Hibachi style steakhouse with the flamboyant chefs yelling and tossing food around. This is a great aspect if you are going for that purpose, however, a couple times that I have gone with a friend or a group of friends, we were seated at the sushi bar in the same room, and we could not hear one another at all. Other than that, I was very pleased and have been the 5 or 6 times that I have gone.

“Great food and a lot of fun”
By TheHighwayWarrior Saint Louis, Missouri Jun 22, 2008
We got a couple orders of sushi to share between the people in my party. The sushi was great - probably the best I've had anywhere in Kansas City. The meal also started with salad and soup - both were fresh and tasty. The main course was great as well. The chef put on a great show, and the food was really fresh and flavorful. The chef started off by grilling up the fresh veggies, then followed with the fried rice, and then shrimp and the main course.
I ordered the chicken and filet combo for my main course. The meat was tender and extremely juicy and full of flavor. For about $20 you'll leave with a full stomach and have a nice variety of food. Kyoto would be a good place to go with a small group because they sit about eight people at a table/cooking station. |

“Excellent”
by dayna97 at Citysearch April 21, 2010
My first sushi experience in KC was at Kyoto. Since then I've tried several other places in the area, but nothing compares. The teppenyaki chefs are entertaining and the sushi chefs are excellent. I'm a lifer. |
