I had eaten here some time ago and am just now getting around to reviewing it.
Kyoto is, without a doubt, one of the best Asian restaurants in Waterford. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced, and the service staff are excellent. I noticed that many of the staff are WIT (now SETU) students working part-time. I've been here several times, and a staff member named Charlie (a student from Malaysia) was incredibly helpful, offering great advice on the food and life in Waterford.
I highly recommend this restaurant!
I really love Kyoto Waterford, but I’m taking a couple of stars off because every single time we order chef’s selection of sushi (even the larger portion), it only comprises of nigiri & never any maki or uramaki. It’s really frustrating (I like the mix of types, but nigiri is my least favourite). This hardly represents a variety or selection. I had thought that maybe it was because they didn’t want to prepare a whole maki roll & o my use some of it in the platter, but they use a couple of pieces per bento box, so that’s not the reason. I really wish they would change this, or at least actually call it what it is: Chef’s nigiri selection, not a chef’s sushi selection. As it stands, it’s very misleading. If they remedied this, it’d be 5 stars from me.
Every time I've been to Waterford, I've gone here to eat, the staff are always lovely. It's peaceful. The food (sushi and sashimi) is delicious and well presented, but most importantly delicious. Friends have been raving about the Ramen and other dishes too. Highly recommend
