Kyoto Sushi Steakhouse - Edwardsville (IL)

5 /5 Jacqueline Infield: Went for NYE and it was a great experience. The server was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and timely. Looking forward to going again.

5 /5 Cathy Brooks: When you come in it is quaint and beautiful and everybody has just the most welcoming personalities ever. We had a reservation for 5:00 and I mean we walk in the door they said us down immediately and started with our orders it was fabulous I could never ask for better night with friends

5 /5 Cody Odom: By far the best experience Ive ever had at a restaurant. The chef was amazing. He was energetic, hilarious, and just made everyone laugh and smile the entire time. He would squirt the kids with a water gun when they werent looking and tell them it was a leak in the ceiling lol. He did all the cool tricks and stuff: throwing food into our mouths, doing tricks with the spatulas, using one to flip and egg around and up into his chefs hat, etc. He was just super fun. Plus, the food was PHENOMENAL. Best Asian food Ive had in my life, no joke. I got the steak and chicken with extra fried rice. Absolutely divine. Plus, the atmosphere was beautiful and everything was neat and very clean. We also had a pretty large group and eveyone was tended to quickly. Theres also a ton of options to choose from on the menu. Personally, Im not a fan of sushi, so I got the steak and chicken (which as previously mentioned was some of the best Ive ever had), but they have a ton of sushi options, vegetatian options, and options for meat lovers like myself lol. Plus, some good alcoholic beverage options, as well. 10/10 would recommend.

2 /5 Betty Sagovac: I dont bother taking time to review places... unless it was really bad and i felt compelled to keeo others from making the same mistake. I have not been here in a few years but I wonder if I have become a sushi snob and the midwest standard is just sad. The restaurant does both Hibachi and regular sushi. We wanted sushi so we were by the sushi bar. Japanese cuisine is supposed to be about presentation and flavor. This was neither. I order the sashimi appetizer, shrimp & vegetable tempura, and fancy rainbow roll. My tempura came out in a plastic red basket. PLASTIC. The dipping sauce was a funny red sweet and sour sauce. The tempura was warm, but it lack the light fluffiness. My sashimi was somewhat arranged in a plastic tray. The only thing that barely passed was rainbow roll. Note: I did try asking for something else for my tempura. The waitress brought me a mustard base sauce and BBQ type of sauce... maybe from the hibachi side. Whatever happen to classic tentsuyu sauce made with dashi, mirin, soy sauce, and grated daikon. Its tempura... not chicken nuggets. Hubby had the salmon lover and 2 white tuna fish nigiri. Both were equally unimpressive. The nigiri was once again served in a plastic tray. The salmon lover arranged in a curved plate haphazardly. It could have been from Sams or the chinese buffet. The bill came out to be $85... and was an experience I rather forget. Upside, neither of us got food poisoning. Needless to say, I wont be back. The food was not worth the calories nor the money. Maybe better luck at Wasabi?
