  • We've been going here for years. We went often enough that we should have been recognized, but we weren't sure if we were or not. There are some inconsistencies - sometimes we get a little amuse-bouche of picked vegetables, sometimes we don't.

    We generally have the AYCE dinner, so I can't comment on anything else. In general I found the food great - it was one of the first AYCE sushi places in Whitby and the service, though a little slow was always friendly. I will say that sometimes the rolls are not necessarily put together very well, but I generally stick to sashimi anyway.

  • As far as Japanese restaurants in the area go (including other sushi and/or all-you-can-eat places), this one's among the better ones. There's enough variety in the menu to warrant return visits, and plenty to choose from if you the all-you-can-eat route. Three kinds of fried rice, including a seafood option, set it apart from other similar establishments. Also, the house salad dressing is quite nice (if you're okay with sweet dressings). The pork cutlet, beef short ribs, and teriyaki chicken are all good. The spring rolls and edamame are decent. But the tempura is sometimes undercooked and the chicken karaga is just... wrong. Sushi presentation could be better but the taste is just fine. You'll also find the staff friendly, but sometimes on the slow side, especially if it's busy.

  • The best sushi I have ever had! I visit regularly and they know me by name! Great service and good selection! Always great sushi, whether in dining in or taking out! I would recommend Kyoto House to anyone!

  • Order: Most things on the all you can eat: salmon sushi and sashimi, crispy spicy salmon, edamame, shrimp tempura, dragon roll, rainbow roll, calamari, etc.

  • I have been here a few times. My husband loves the place and always get the all you can eat sushi. I have had all you can eat sushi sometimes, and others I have had chicken teriyaki and/or tempura. The chicken can be a little fatty so I suggest ordering just white meat... otherwise the dark meat is a little fatty. Good portions, sushi is fine, the tempura is good. The ambiance is nice with the little private booths that are quite neat. If you like Japanese food it is worth a try, but don't expect to be dazzeled, just enjoy the uniqueness.

  • Order: All you can eat sushi, chicken teriyaki

  • The service was so so - waitress forgot our tea orders and had to be reminded. Sushi was a disaster - the rice was not sticky and did not hold together - thus creating a mess! The rolls were also very tiny and not put together well. I will definitely never return to Kyoto House as there are other sushi places in Whitby that are far better. Even though this place is cheap it is not worth it.

  • Order: tuna rolls - crab sushi - tuna sushi - otherassorted maki rolls

  • I've been going here for so long they've got to recognize me by now! Great sushi for a great price. I would gladly bring any of my friends here for a sushi feast! The yam tempura, spicy salmon, miso soup and green tea ice cream are my favourites here! Mmmm.

  • My friends took me here when I was visiting them and I loved it! It was a good price for AYCE, the sushi and miso soup tasted great, and the service was very fast. I would definitely eat at the Kyoto House again.

  • I went here with my brother and it was probably the worst all you can eat sushi place I have ever gone to. The service was pretty slow but the issue at hand was the food. The rolls were very loosely put together and the quality of the food was quite poor. It was pretty cheap though (approx. 12-14 inc. tip) but I don't think it's worth it... I'd rather pay the extra couple of dollars and get some decent sushi.

  • Order: Spicy salmon, avocado and BBQ eal, tuna roll, California roll among others.
