Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse - Vancouver

FIRSTLY, I don't suggest you going here without doing the Hibachi. When you do the Hibachi, service is 5/5. When you decide to do the regular dining experience, the service is horrible. We were greeted, walked to our table, and it took over 30 minutes for someone to bring us water. We could not find anyone in the dining area (literally ghost town). It's so upsetting because, we love their sushi but, to get great service, we need to do Hibachi. I suggest that if you are only wanting their sushi, DO NOT DINE IN. Do a pickup order or Hibachi. This is the 3rd time we've dined in (definitely the last time), and the service have been the same. Really slow and no sense of urgency.

Great food, had the Hibachi Steak and Chicken, my partner had the Hibachi Shrimp, comes with salad or onion soup, and a side of Yum Yum sauce. Third time here, and as usual the fried rice and vegetables are excellent. Everything is prepared and cooked right in front of you. The server was very entertaining and deliberately comical. It's a complete performance. Bring your sense of humor. Great place for a lunch or dinner engagement. The bill was $30. Not bad at all. I did ask that they wipe the area I was sitting at a little better. There were no issues with that. Other than the people they set me with that were visiting from Chicago, and obviously had no time for fun and entertainment while eating, I had a great time. Yes it's a big grill that you sit around and you can be sat with random people. I just prefer people who enjoy themselves. I do highly recommend that you try this place. It's addicting. Sorry forgot to take pictures before I started eating.

Waited an hour and a half before the chef showed up, and an hour before we even got water after we sat down. Chef didn't have materials needed and ran to the back twice. Grill was on way too hot and everything was cooked to a crisp and smelled like it was burning the whole time.

First time ever eating at a Japanese Steakhouse in the Northwest, the Hibachi show was decent, but I think because of COVID-19 they can't do as much as they used to currently, but the food was fantastic and outstanding. I will definitely be going back and making this place apart of my normal dining out routine location, knowing there are locations in several places!

I ordered the Hibachi Filet Mignon rare w/scallops, rice and mixed vegetables with extra vegetables. To drink I had a ?dirty martini? but didn?t expect it to be in a filthy glass. When mentioned to the waitress she acted like it was no big deal and didn?t offer to comp it. My steak tasted good but wasn?t rare, had veins through out, and were in tiny pieces. The scallops were amazing being perfectly cooked. The vegetables were good but way too many huge onion pieces with the skin included. Great sushi but definitely not worth the price for steak or drinks-?
