Kyoto

We were traveling through on I-80 and wanted some sushi. We thought we found a suitable place, but contrary to its online hours, it wasn't open on a late Sunday afternoon. Bummer. A local resident saw us elderly folk looking confused in a parking lot, and told us to get our old butts to Kyoto if we wanted sushi. That anonymous young lady was right! We've eaten there a couple of times since. If you trust the wisdom of your elders, you'll get these rolls: Shaggy Dog, Pretty Alaska, and the Omega 3. And don't be such a sissy about the wasabi sauce! If it doesn't make you just a bit uncomfortable, then you didn't eat enough. Pile. It. On. Your sinuses will thank you.

Visiting Kearney and found this hibachi/Japanese restaurant. The dining room is large, clean and very well decorated. The full bar looked impressive. I ordered takeout and had the two roll sushi combo. The spicy crunchy crab and spicy crunchy tuna was very good. The spicy crab was more spicy than the tuna but still good. The special comes with soup or salad. I chose salad and it was iceberg lettuce that wasn't drained well so it was watery. The service was pleasant and quick. I hope to come back again and try other menu items.

Delicious sushi and great service, especially in a small city! Craft martinis were great, too.

The service is always casual, never hurried. Food continues to be good but the portion sizes seem to be deminishing.

Visited Kyoto on a Sunday afternoon. Interior looked a bit grim. We're quickly taken to a table. Ordered various sushi items - Alaska, Philadelphia, California, Crunchy yellowtail. Everything tasted really good. They have a fantastic happy hour menu and I strongly suggest checking it. Servers were very attentive through out. We can't wait to go back and already recommended this place to our friends and family who live around the area.

I've had several good experiences with this venue, and this server, but this time was very different. I arrived at 5:45 and asked for a table for three (given a pager to wait). We were seated at 6:15 and I was excited to see that we'd made out for happy hour. I selected a BUNCH of items for the table and waited for the server. He didn't come to the table until 6:29 and I asked if I still had time to order from the happy hour menu and he responded with hurry, so I told him what we wanted. He left but returned to inform me that it was 6:31, so I'd need to select something else. I was disappointed, having waited so long for a table and then for him to come to the table, but decided to overlook it and do the usual.Unfortunately, things didn't get better. I ordered the yellowish cheek appetizer and the sushi/sashimi combo for one. My friends ordered several items and we waited. Soup and salads arrived quickly and were tasty, as usual, but one had ordered the seaweed salad which did not arrive until we asked when our entrees came out. The entrees didn't come out until 7:30, an hour after we'd ordered; not to mention my appetizer had not come. The sushi rice was bland and dry and the sashimi tasted off - chewy and tasteless. My friend had finished her nigiri and waited on her fried rice that did not come out until 8:15 and I wondered what I should do about my appetizer - cancel it (which I hate to do) or wait. I asked the server and he assured me it was on its way. He brought it out at 8:30 - with my check! I laughed but attempted to eat it, but it was cold, bland, and I was no longer hungry. He cheated the plate without asking if I'd even wanted a box or asking if there was anything wrong with it. Just took my card and swiped it. I don't know what issues are going on in the back of house but I definitely think my days of enjoying sushi in Kearney are done.

Kearney, Nebraska. Good enough but Japanese rice is ALWAYS soft, not hard. Rinse rice until water runs clear, at least 5 times. Then allow rice to sit in water at least 20 minutes before cooking. Steam rice, then fluff rice afterwards. Serve.Also rice is NEVER served in a mound on a flat plate. This is unacceptable. It is always -- always-- served in a rice bowl.These items are fundamental to Japanese cuisine. We had vegetable tempura and rib eye steak. The steak was fatty and barely acceptable. Not great, cut up and fatty.Good service, we really appreciate the professional staff.

Always a fun experience to get the Hibachi table, especially if someone in your group is celebrating a birthday or anniversary. Love the different seafood options and if you want Surf & Turf you won't be disappointed. Friendly staff

Fantastic place, we always order from them when we in town. Good quality sushi. Who knew??

Great sushi! Some of the best we ever had. Also, entertaining hibachi chefs that I noticed even though we didn't eat hibachi. The decor was nice, contemporary and clean. Service was good.
