Kyoto Japanese Grill - Benton Park

Always consistent with excellent food. Love the salmon sashimi as well as hibachi chicken or steak meals. Veggies and rice come with the hibachi meals, along with signature mustard and ginger sauce that we enjoyed at Akira, their previous restaurant on California Ave. New Online order option!!!order.spoton.com/payc-ky….

Nothing special about the look of this place , The food and the friendly staff speaks for itself. Their fried rice is the best meal in Bakersfield when you don't want a meal.. (IMO)Great place to go if you are too busy to sit down and have them make Teppan in front of your face. We ordered the firecracker roll the chicken and steak plate and the shrimp plate. They are usually my favorite go to place when I want fried rice . This is the one time that they weren't what I was expecting. The firecracker roll wasn't a bad choice, but it was the first time I had it, and I was expecting something more savory. It seemed as if the oil it was fried in old. Not complaining about the flavor just that it wasn't what I was expecting in flavor. The chicken and steak plate was ordered by my wife and she said it was good but the steak was a little tougher than she normally gets the shrimp plate have every piece of shrimp on the plate overcooked I ate maybe three shrimp and a couple spoons of rice put it down and try to eat it later. I microwaved that the next day it virtually not edible. Usually I eat my whole plate and don't have a problem. The only difference in the service this time and last time was I ordered it an hour before they closed. Not sure if that made a difference but I will never eat it that late again. Overall I love this place and it stopped me from traveling next door(if you know where they're located you know what I mean)! Kyoto today wasn't your day.Ill try it again in January, and I'm looking forward to it..

Delicious hibachi and rolls! Tried the new york strip first time. Then got chicken few days ago. And the las vegas tempura roll. Very simple menu. Will be back since i live close. ?

Pretty good for a mostly quick chicken/steak and fried rice place. Steak was better than the chicken because it didnt require sauce. Chicken was good but a bit dry and sauce would have helped. Sauces provided was a HARD pass for me (1 Mustard and 1 Ginger) and definitely keeps this from being 5 stars. I come from the land of Fresno, CA with these amazing hot and spicy sauces that I cannot seem to find any other restaurant has tried to emulate at all. Heck I would take just a solid terakyi sauce. But it was still good enough for me to clean my plate, therefore it has to be 4 Stars

My favorite place to order from! Fast excellent service! Owners are great! Food tastes fantastic and it’s a very good portion for what you pay. I order from here every chance I get!
