Review Kyoko's Restaurant - Fayetteville

Kyoko’s is a splendid treat of Japanese cuisine. Don’t let the humble dining room fool you. The food is thoughtfully prepared with fresh meats and vegetables. Our evening’s appetizers of Edisu Salad and the Sushi platter were full flavored and too pretty to eat. The Bento Special platter and Katsu Don were amazing and we can’t wait to be treated with the wonderful sauces and flavors again soon. We never wanted the meal to end.

Authentic Japanese Sushi house. Very tasty and quiet atmosphere. Update: Just had their Udon the other night and it was amazing. Such good food.

We ordered their bento deluxe and their salads salmon and seafood salads. Their customer service was very accommodating and welcoming, she did everything a customer can ask for. Now, with their food, I don’t know what else to say but it’s perfection. If you’re a sushi/sashimi lover, you have to try this place.

Having just moved to the area, we decided to try their fare, and after our meal, I felt compelled to write my experience. The food was prepared exactly to order, delicious, beautifully arranged, and prompt. We tried some options available at other restaurants as well as some items wholly unique to Kyoko. We were left incredibly impressed and very full. Every item was flavorful, well prepared, and surprised me with it's quality. A vast array of options available in a restaurant can sometimes indicate less care given to individual items, but this was absolutely not the case. We ordered 8 items to share and every single item was wonderful. The greatest treat of all was our hostess Alisha. There are many factors that make a dining experience enjoyable, and to say that food alone (tasty as it was) is solely important would be an understatement. Service goes a long way to making diners feel comfortable, relaxed, and ready to place their faith in the kitchen behind closed doors. Alisha is a rare treat in her line of work, and through her prompt service, kind demeanor, and care for our experience has set a new standard in the industry and deserves to know that. So thank you Alisha, and to our talented chefs, we will most certainly be back.

I’m not one to write reviews but this place hands down is amazing! Not only the service but the food was insanely good.

Absolutely fantastic! Wait staff is great, atmosphere is great, would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area! I had the miso ramen special and my friend got the bento special. It was around $50 for both. I love the appetizers here.

At first impression, I thought my wife and I would regret going to dinner here. The atmosphere and service was off putting at first. As the meal went on, the server warmed up to us and was actually very good. The food was delicious and the sushi was some of the best I've had anywhere in upstate/central NY. The sushi was meticulously curated and served the second it was made. I would highly recommend eating here for specialty sushi rolls.

Delicious sushi, their speciality rolls pictures are Firecracker🧨, Dragon's breath🐲 Kamikaze. All delicious, service was speedy and friendly

The atmosphere was nicely understated. Service was good, but I would have preferred the server wear a mask (I understand the mask mandate is somewhat frivolous in restaurant settings, but blatant avoidance of the rules could translate in other areas like hygiene/cleanliness). All that said, the food shined; the cuts of fish on the sushi were fresh and tender, and everything was well-prepared.

Went After a recommendation from a colleague. It's been a year in the attempt to finally sit down and eat here. Due to COVID-19. This is a quaint small Japanese styled seating area. It's small but comfortable. There is a bar with a sushi 🍣 chef in the back. The server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. For apps I had the firecracker shrimp witch was spicy and flavorful. The Sushi rice was good but not as creamy as my favorite sushi restaurant that closed 4 years ago. (Chasing the dragon). Ingredients were fresh and prepared perfectly. I had the beef bento 🍱, very delicious and fulfilling. It is moderately priced but not cheap.

I was fully expecting to be disappointed, but I wasn't. The Ramen I ordered was decent and among the best in central NY. The broth isn't as thick and creamy as I would prefer but it is well balanced. The egg, noodle and hijiki (could also be woodear) are all done well. The pork belly that is supposed to be tender is too dry though. Was told no dine-in is allowed at this time, but all the tables were set.

The Sushi is crafted very well. The Quality is better than average, and better than what you would expect for Central NY. We have eaten here many times and have had a consistent dining experience. The only improvement to be made is the speed of service. When you dine just anticipate hanging out for a bit while your food is prepared. Other than that, great place to get sushi.

The owner is behind the Sushi counter and he is personally invested in you having an amazing experience! If you haven't been, WHY???? Go eat and enjoy great food! Ask the owner to make your culinary experience memorable! Order Sake sit back and indulge your foodie senses!!!

Great quality of food and nice service by the staff!!

We just moved into the area a few days ago. We lived in Japan for a few years and are self proclaimed sushi "snobs"! We found this gem on Yelp (don't judge, we were hungry) and gave it a try. What a magnificent surprise! The owner/chef is Japanese and the food is fresh and delicious. It is small and unpretentious which is truly Japanese. We will be regulars from here on!

Food & service excellent. Great restaurant, highly recommend.

Small cozy place , food and service are very good.Have been back a few times.

Excellent sushi for those who really know what Japanese food is all about. I don't order rolls or other Westernized stuff--only traditional sashimi and sushi. The chefs here definitely know what they are doing. Oishi!

Great food and excellent service. The Oyster shots were awesome. All the sushi was the freshest I've had.

Amazing, as always. The tuna was absolutely delicious, and as I hadn't had roe in some time, it was a real treat.

Two words: Bamboo Roll. Personally, there's no need to eat anything else because this is so good.

Best sushi in the Syracuse area!

Amazing!!! Tried so many great items here: Oysters with ponzu and momijioroshi Hamachi Kama Salmon Croquette Etc

The cuisine at this quaint Japanese restaurant with a full sushi bar is exemplary. They also provide catering.

Exceptional service and the food was plentiful and beyond words tasty.

The food was great and atmosphere was nice but the service was verrryyy slow...

Thanks for the awesome volcano roll tonight!It was delish!
