Beware of the service charge for dining in away from the hibachi table, for a party of 2 they add 18% to the check and still write in a line to also leave a tip. Not a huge fan of that attempt to double dip a tip. … More

I’ve been coming to this Maple Road staple for a while now, and it never disappoints. Whether you're sitting at the hibachi grill for the dinner-and-a-show experience or grabbing a quiet booth for sushi, the quality is always top-notch.

Last night, a group of 28 of us dined at Kyoto Hibachi for what was meant to be a very special evening for someone in our party. When we made the reservation, we specifically requested the back room to accommodate our large group and the … More

The food was good and everything tasted fresh, but it was very expensive for what we ordered. The service was fine and I have no complaints there. We got about three appetizers, some veggie rolls, and two entrées, and the total came out to … More

I ordered the filet mignon and chicken hibachi combo. The chicken was dry! I told the waitress and she did nothing about it. But she added an 18% service charge to my bill and then wanted me to tip more. She never apologized or said thank … More

If I could give zero stars I would. Myself and 13 other people had reservations for my birthday last night for 630 and to say I was disappointed was an understatement. We waited for over an hour for a table and never got seated. Th hostess … More

Restaurant has an unique atmosphere and was fairly quiet. Food was alright, although the salad and California roll tasted quite stale . The restaurant is a bit dark but it’s not hard to see. Portion sizes are okay, the bento box was pretty … More

We were visiting from Toronto and saw this place nearby - it’s definitely on the pricier side but the food was good. We got the love boat for two and asked for substitution and they delivered. The food was fresh and tasty. The restaurant inside is a bit dark on the lighting but overall we had a good time. More

My understanding is that if the party is large, in most restaurants, tip is tacked on automatically. No big deal. Well, there were only 5 of us. We go for the experience of hibachi, which wasn't that exciting this time around but whatever, … More

The food wasent as good as it was if we would of waited for the live hibachi table. The shrimp was under cooked and the rice was very bland. No egg or veggies in it. It was like plain brown rice. More

Went out for Valentine’s Day with my wife, brother-in-law and his wife. I understand it was a busy night, but service was noticeably slow. After most of our food was served, we were only checked on once or twice. … More

We love coming here for the hibachi and sushi. It's always fresh and delicious, and the quality is pretty consistent, which can be hard to find. The only minor critique is that the lighting in the back gets very dark as the evening goes on. A little more light back there would make a huge difference! More
