Kyoto Garden Japanese Restaurant

I was at the restaurant for the third time, since 2021, this February! Was so disappointed to see how the quality of the food, service and ambiace as degradated. Cold food, long waiting, non Japanese culture of service from the waiters, over priced for the very poor quality. I lived in Bangkok for 6 years, and I visited Japan, and never experienced such a miserable service. The Japanese touristic agency should ban this restaurant as one. they can call it something else, but not for sure, a Kyoto Japanese restaurant, it's an insult for a beautiful and rich culture of a city, that cares the name.

I WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN AND NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

Ridiculously over priced and underwhelming Japanese food. The sushi at Checkers tastes better! Good service from attentive waitresses in a calm music free environment (which made for a welcome change).

No reservation, but we could get a table on a Saturday night. One of the best tempura and sushi I enjoyed in a long time! Very noce atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

The ramen was so great. It wasn't overcomplicated. Wagyu was cooked to perfection and the noodles were the springy perfect texture. The broth wasn't heavy but it was incredibly flavourful. We also had the prawn dumplings which were by far the freshest we've ever had, undoubtedly made by hand fresh. Service was excellent as well! Would definitely recommend.

My favourite sushi restaurant in Cape Town. So perfect for a romantic date night! The quality of fish is some of the best I’ve had, especially the tuna. They have delicious Japanese Yuzu beer and a nice selections of wines and other hot dishes, obsessed with this place! The vibe here is cozy and relaxing, so zen. The service is also really good and the staff is friendly and efficient

What an awesome food and service experience - tick on the bucket list - from arriving to the time we left we were given exceptional service and made to feel welcome and special - the discrete outside of the venue hides the true beauty of the décor inside, and the food speaks for itself.
We had a late lunch of authentic Japanese dishes which was a real rush of flavours and textures we rarely have the privilege to experience in South Africa - the service just built on the already phenomenal food and we were advised on which dishes to experience.
On more than one occasion we were brought some samples of other dishes and drinks to try out as well as given some interesting info about the sampled dishes and drinks.
Even if it's the last thing you do, visit Kyoto 🤤😘👌🏻

Amazing, authentic experience and very broad menu. Beautiful interior with elegant seating and a gorgeous bar. Alcohol here is very pricey so would not recommend drinking, except the wines (good selection)
