Kyoto

Cuisine: Asian, Japanese, Sushi

Price: $$

10Best Says

One of Salt Lake City's favorite Japanese restaurants, Kyoto embraces diners with refined, traditional Japanese cuisine served amongst simple-yet cozy-decor and pleasant atmosphere. Lunchtime business folks flock here in droves to sample the delicious (and reasonably priced) sushi and tempura specials. Quick and efficient service adds to the midday allure. At dinner, the pace slows down a bit as patrons gather in classic tatami rooms to savor shrimp or steak tempura, salmon teriyaki, or sukiyaki. Unlike many of Salt Lake City's modern, flashy, fusion or otherwise "trendy" sushi restaurants, Kyoto focuses on the millennia-tested goodness of traditional sushi.
