Description: The Kyoto is a Japanese restaurant in Cologne?s Belgian quarter, bringing Japanese simplicity and cuisine to this city on the Rhine. The décor is bright, minimalist and concentrates on the bare essentials. This most popular of Japanese restaurants turns Zen sitting into Zen eating. The menu of course includes sushi - served on little wooden boats - and many other Japanese dishes. The service is friendly, giving the restaurant a casual and informal feel - making it a good place to spend time and enjoy yourself.

Kyoto was a nice experience. All employees are friendly Japanese and the Sushi was nice and not too pricy. The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet. Not too fancy, very simple and clean cut. Almost no background noise even at nearly full house, inviting to a good conversation.

Usually I eat small in japanese restaurants. But this time I was so hungry I ordered the biggest menu.. I don't regret, really was delicious, fresh and there was everything in it. The atmosphere is nice and friendly. The most difficult thing for me is to choose what to eat from a menu. At the entrance in two glass stands... More

Excellent shushi chef who delivered to our table wonderful sashimi - very succulent cuts of Tuna. However the atmosphere was very lacking. i am not sure if this was because it was a bit out of the restaurant area or because the restaurant was dominated by a large boring dutch party all doing long speeches . anyway it did seem...

Our sushi was prepared with the most tender and delicious fish we've had in years. Even the ginger slices were one notch above anything we had in other sushi places. The green tea ice cream dessert: wonderful. Service was perfect and very attentive, and the place itself was nice, clean, and quiet. A clear triple-A rating!

Having read the reviews on this site, decided to book a table for the Saturday of the Easter weekend. I booked via the restaurant website and the booking was confirmed via email. On the Saturday evening of the booking we went to the restaurant to find an A4 sheet of paper on the front door, saying they were closed for... More

We had dinner here based on the reviews we'd read - we certainly weren't disappointed! Be aware the staff did not speak English, but between our tourist phrases and having models of all the dishes on display we managed. They also didn't take cards but I have no idea if that was a fault or normal practice - the phrase... More

Found this restaurant via Tripadvisor and was happy with the choice. Excellent Sushi, good quality at a VERY good price. I also recommend the vegetable Tempura which was in my opinion the best I ever had.
