Kyoto House Japanese Restaurant is located near Eaton Centre, on the corner of Dundas Street West and Elizabeth Street. It took over another sushi restaurant and now offers All You Can Eat (AYCE) sushi.
I pass by this place almost every day on my way to work. At first it was a traditional sushi restaurant that I can’t remember the name of. Then within the last 6 months noticed it changed names and has become an “all you can eat” style sushi restaurant. This time I was meeting an old university friend for dinner at 7pm. The place is pretty standard looking. It wasn’t busy when we got there but slowly started to fill up over the next hour or so. The AYCE dinner is set at $18.99 per person and each table gets a sheet of paper with a number of items listed on it and a pen. Beside the item you want, just write down how many. Pretty simple. We just ordered a wide selection of tempura, rolls sashimi and sushi. The tea we got must have been sitting around for awhile because it was lukewarm at best. The next batch was much better. The food came out very fast and was fairly fresh. I wasn’t expecting any miracles here and didn’t get any.
The food tasted fine, nothing spectacular but what do you expect at an AYCE place? Service was extremely prompt and they refilled our green tea at record pace, much like the Mandarin restaurants water refilling techniques. One thing that we never found out was if they charge you for any left food. We only left around 3 pieces so I guess that’s why nothing was mentioned by the waitress. Overall I give it a 7 out of 10.
So, what, my phone, email, IM, Twitter, and every other way of getting a hold of me were all not working?
Um…it must have gone to your junk/spam folder….yeah that’s what must have happened…

Went there for lunch with friends - pretty good sushi menu. Loved the tempura sushi - and very delicious miso soup. But it’s Very busy on Fridays for lunch, so go another day :)
I got the Bento Box Salmon Teriyaki ($14.99) and it was SO GOOD. The salad was good. The dumplings were alright (too fried in my opinion). Tempura was good. The salmon was AAAAAMAAAAAZING. The tea refilling also very fast and frequent, I like that. Overall though, everything was awesome.
While the rating is 7 out of 10, Kyoto House offers very good value for the price you pay. It probably appeals to the university crowd.
Don’t you think, Brandon?
