What a difference two blocks make. Sushipilgim visited Kyoto this week with a group of colleagues. Kyoto is located 2 blocks south of the Mikado. But while Mikado is very good and worth a visit, Kyoto is not of the same quality.
When we went to Kyoto at lunchtime. The restaurant was crowded so our party sat at the sushi bar. It seemed to take a long time to place our order. It took even longer to receive our order. In the end we were almost twenty minutes late returning to the office. During our stay I overheard other guests complaining about slow service.
The sushi selection at Kyoto was quite ordinary. No exotic items, and no daily specials. So poor service, mediocre selection things were not looking good. When my sashimi arrived it tasted somewhat fishy. The salmon was a little slimy.
If you are considering Kyoto, do yourself a favor and walk the two blocks to Mikado instead — you will be glad you did.

I would have to partially disagree with the review. Kyoto at lunch is very busy, yes. but I have been there well over 50 times, and not once has the quality been as poor as you noted. They do not have a daily special, but they do have a special sidedish with the bento box that changes day to day. I felt the quality of Kyoto is just as high as Mikato. The Oyster Ponzu (spelling?) is great for those that want something a bit different. Worth another shot is what I'm saying
