High quality sashimi beyond expectation. You know that a Japanese restaurant is on a higher tier when they have fresh uni, fresh amaebi, toro, Spanish mackerel or scallops. This place has them all and they are so fresh. The uni is so buttery. Scallops is super sweet. Miso soup is better than most places we have been to. We inquired how their sashimi taste so fresh and learned that their fish come directly from Japan EVERYDAY. I'm so impressed. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.
The high quality of the fish is what surprised me and it's the best I've had in years. If you've eaten at other sushi places in the area, come here, sit at the bar, and see for yourself. Drastic improvement all around since the change of ownership. Casual friendly environment too. My new go to place. I dint even like to order. Just let the chef do his thing.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kyoto Japanese Cuisine, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, and the soothing Japanese music in the background added to the overall ambiance.
Now, let's talk about the food! Kyoto Japanese Cuisine truly delivers on flavor and quality. I tried several dishes during my visit, and each one was a delightful culinary adventure. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented, and the sashimi practically melted in my mouth. The menu offers a variety of options for both sushi lovers and those who prefer cooked dishes. The tempura and teriyaki were exceptional.
The service was friendly and attentive. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and helped me make some excellent choices. They made sure my dining experience was comfortable and enjoyable.
My only reason for not giving this review a full 5 stars is that the prices are on the higher side, but considering the quality of the food and the dining experience, it's worth the occasional splurge.
If you're looking for a lovely Japanese dining experience with delicious food and a great atmosphere, Kyoto Japanese Cuisine is definitely a restaurant you should consider. I will certainly be returning to try more of their mouthwatering dishes..
It's a good spot but has some work to do to measure up to some of the other Japanese restaurants in a fairly saturated market.
Pros:
-Great service! I've never had so many people checking in on our table.
-Nice ambiance: they have a tatami room, a bar, and some spacious booths.
-Great value: I got a lot of food in my combo order.
-Price: Very reasonable - doesn't seem to be getting hit by inflation a lot.
-Great presentation, everything looked well plated.
Cons:
-Neither sashimi nor rolls were really up to par. Something about them didn't taste as fresh as competitors - though I can't place exactly what the issue was...
Overall, I'd definitely go back again just not specifically for fish.
I have been going to this sushi bar for the last 15 years. Great food, great staff, and excellent prices. Definitely one of the best sushi restaurants in Southern California, if not anywhere outside of Japan. I recommend this place to all of my friends and family.
Very good food! We had the sashimi dinner, dinner boat, and shrimp tempura roll. Amazing service! Highly recommend!
Haven't been here in a long time but I am glad I came back. Under new ownership and the sushi chef is amazing. Super friendly and creative.
We were there last night for the first time and LOVED it! This is Tustin's best kept secret. Definitely a hidden gem! Everything was so fresh and delicious. Fair prices. Service was very attentive. We sat at the sushi bar. The vibe is a little retro / old skool Japanese and that's part of its charm. Will definitely be back! We had a vegetable cut roll, salmon skin hand roll, yellowtail sashimi, tuna sashimi, salmon cut roll, oysters on the half shell, tamago sushi, and uni sushi to finish it off! Yummy!
We took advantage of their takeout menu. We had a large group and to say we made it difficult might be an understatement. But, when we arrived home, it was perfect.
The food was tasty, great portions and a nice variety.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
In looking around, it was clean and packed with people. Would be a nice place to eat dinner at for sure.
Sashimi is so fresh. Chefs and servers are so friendly and professional. Strongly recommend!
Friendly staff and good food. They have a good selection of combo plates and sushi. Tried their boat and it was a lot of really good food. They also give complimentary dessert to dine in customers.
Fairly priced. Awesome outdoor seating. When it comes to Japanese food, I can be fairly picky. Does the basics well, decent Yakitori.
Excellent sushi here, have been going here for years.
lts always yummy coming to eat at this place. Fast service, great prices and most of all that dessert at the end! 🙂
Great bang for the buck. Poke bowl lunch is cheaper and better than any of the chains. Sushi and sashimi has never let me down. Good rolls at a good price. 👍
