kyoto ka

i ate so much!!! this was such a nice restaurant. the food was very fresh and flavorful and the atmosphere was comfortable. we were really hungry when we got there and we ordered accordingly! we had the vegetable miso and the seafood miso. both soups were good, not outstanding and i would probably have regular miso next time, but there were good. we had the tuna tataki and the sashimi sampler appetizers. the sashimi was so fresh and delicious it may have been the best i've ever had. the seaweed salad on top of the tuna tataki was my favorite part of that appetizer and i would have been just as happy with just anorderof seaweed salad alone, maybe even happier. our main meal consisted of the joe roll, the paradise roll, a shataki mushroom roll and an eel roll. the paradise roll was our favorite of those and was filled with a fresh assortment of fish and loaded with three different kinds of fish roe on top with gave it a yummy little crunch. the spicy sauce that comes along side the joe roll is delicious if you don't mind a mayo base. the mushroom roll had a great mushroom taste and texture that i really enjoyed. the eel roll didn't compare well to other eel rolls i've had and i wouldn'torderthat again. we finished by splitting a mango mochi ice cream, which i would pass on next time as well. this has been my favorite sushi joint in the toledo area so far. i'm looking forward to crossing a couple more off my list before i can declare my favorite, but given price, atmosphere, taste and quality (not necessarily in that order)...this is my favorite so far.

terrible. visiting from out of town, we were very excited to get some sushi and sake, as it's hard to find in northern michigan. after reviewing yelp, i went with kyoto ka based on the reviews and their online menu. needless to say, we were completely disappointed. our waitress stayed as far away as possible and made it very clear that she was not interested at working that evening. after ordering one roll, it took 20 minutes and finally flagging down the owner who was nearby to get our waitress back to our table for another roll order. when it finally showed up, another good 20 minutes later (ok, it was a busy weekend night so i won't dwell in that one), she also brought our bill. never came back to see how our meal was, to ask if we would like toordermore, or see if i would like another cocktail. no surprise, this chick received no tip. aside from the service, my peach sake was amazing and the house salad was fresh. i've had much better sushi, even in michigan. my 2nd roll, which had eel on top, was full of bones, making it completely inedible. we will never be back.
