Lovely sushi spot with good service. Probably some of the best sushi we’ve had outside London. The ambience is nice and it’s in a great location.

Highly recommend the taster menu, I really enjoy Japanese food but this definitely included a few things I’d never heard of. Nice and relaxed. Really lovely server didn’t catch his name but really helpful with the descriptions and suggestions (young Asian lad just turned 18!). Would definitely return. Came on Monday 19th August. Would recommend booking as it seemed to fill up quickly!

A fantastic experience, staff were very attentive and took great care of us and made it a wholly relaxed and enjoyable experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the menu is full of creative and interesting flavour combinations. The set menu has a lot of stand outs and the teas on offer pair beautifully. Will no doubt return for more delicious food.

We booked dinner here for a special family occasion. We gulped a bit at the prices but were hoping for some really excellent food. Sadly not. I'm afraid we were very disappointed. We found everything extremely bland - squid tasted of nothing but salt, the kimchi wasn't fermented but was just raw cabbage in an insipid dressing, monkfish tempura was, again, tasteless. The vegetarian sushi was positively unpleasant: tasted of absolutely NOTHING, amongst the worst sushi I've ever had. The only items which had any flavour - & these went all too quickly - were the ginger & the wasabi. Honestly Tesco sushi would have been infinitely preferable. Maybe this was an off day but really, if you're charging top-end prices, the food should at least be good. We certainly wouldn't return, even if someone else were paying. I actually made myself marmite on toast when I got home as I was starving, having spent over £300 (with only a pint of Asahi each)! So all in all a massive disappointment: over-priced & mediocre. Although the service was good :/

Meant as a romantic meal for two, the experience had been paid for as a wedding gift, due to signal failures on the train we relied on family to pick us up and drive us hastily to have our meal. Despite a reservation for 2, the restaurant accommodated our two extra guests (Mum and Dad) and we had the best time! New to Japanese food, the knowledge of the staff made this a perfect introduction. The food and atmosphere were perfect, each dish explained to us as we went. I will most definitely return for another visit, but not by train! I can’t thank the staff enough for turning a potential disaster into the most wonderful dinner experience.

We went here for my wife's birthday. We are not experts in Japanese cuisine, but have eaten in a few . The food was way beyond our expectations, fresh, beautiful presentation and advice given by the staff was very helpful. We liked the ability to order as we ate, so that we could take our time selecting the next course and vary our original ideas of what we might eat. Sharing the dishes made it a very companionable experience. We cannot fault any aspect of the experience. We thought the table time limitation might rush us but it didn't and the staff were relaxed and informative. I had expected a fairly high bill but when it came we both thought it to be reasonable

Booked here for a celebration meal for 6, checked when booking that Gluten free wouldn’t be a problem and was assured it was not. To keep things simple for the kitchen we all had the set menu for 6 and made sure to explain that one of our party was coeliac, again told this was fine and all food would be gluten free, so disappointing that then on several of the courses the waiter casually said that the accompanying dishes/dipping sauces contained gluten. This made for an unrelaxed evening for us all and one of our group unable to get the full experience. This obviously marred the occasion massively, I did give private feedback on the meal when sent a form the next day hoping that there would be some kind of explanation or reassurance that there had been a mistake but non received. Sadly not the lovely experience we’ve enjoyed many times when situated in Parchment street.

Came for an anniversary dinner, lovely little restaurant with a great atmosphere even though we came on a week night. Tried the taste of Japan menu, food wqs incredible! Tasted amazing and presented beautifully. We felt it was good value for the amount of food you got, left feeling comfortably full but not stupidly stuffed! The staff were absolutely brilliant. So friendly, helpful and attentive without being at all overbearing. Courses were explained well without feeling like you were being given a lecture! Really enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back!

A super visit with a couple of friends. They had been before and are familiar with Japanese cuisine. We were open to a new experience. The food was delicious. Attention to detail from the kitchen. We had the taster menu for 4. It was a great cross section of Japanese food. It was brought to the table in phases with about 3 dishes each time. I was concerned at first that it wouldn’t be enough food for my sporty husband but by pudding, we were all very full and couldn’t eat it! The food was about £50 per person and we had beer and wine on top. They had Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc which is always a winner in my book! Not an inexpensive meal but a real treat. The waiters were super. Explained every step of the courses. All passionate about the food they served. Gopi, Dan, Sol and Artur served us. Occasional long breaks between courses but it was a very busy Saturday night for them. We were quite rushed at the end and asked to take our drinks to finish at the bar while they set up for the next cover. Maybe on a weekday you would be able to remain at the table. We understood their predicament. Try it - we are converts to Japanese cuisine and will revisit!

Old couple. Went for wife's birthday. She said it was one of the best meals she'd ever had. Staff took time to talk to diners, made to feel we were valued customers. We had the "Gourmet Taste of Japan" menu with sake flight. It was excellent with one exception: the accompaniment to the water cake was, er, "challenging". It was replaced immediately. Not worth knocking a point off.

This was an extremely disappointing experience. We used to love visiting Kyoto Kitchen at the previous premises which were intimate with amazing service and quality. When we visited, the service was shambolic, maybe they are still not set up for the number of customers they can accommodate. We had to wait a very long time and the food was unacceptable quality when it arrived. This is a very different location which we understand, but it has really lost something in the ambience. It was previously a pub and a such as very noisy and echoey. On balance, we couldn’t recommend it.

Our favourite restaurant so very disappointed this time. We ordered edamame beans and crispy squid to start which were fine. The main course of chicken teriyaki was extremely salty and inedible. .we brought this to the attention of the manager who was very apologetic and offered to bring two fresh plates. The new plates were cold, the vegetables were extremely soft, the chicken had not been freshly cooked and was tough to eat in parts. Unfortunately after this experience sadly we will not be returning.

As usual another excellent meal here. We have always eaten off the main menu but friends wanted to try the tasting menu. The first round of dishes had us thinking if we had made the right choice as quite small but we should not of worried as dishes got larger and by the end of the meal we were all suitably full. Stand out were the tuna tartare which had a lovely warmth to it, the beef tataki, great sashimi and the always uber light tempura. The dessert were ok but didn't match the savory dishes quality which was a shame but all in all very very good.

Good service today, food very well presented but some dishes were a bit bland, asparagus was stringy and the desert was still partially frozen. The whole menu is seriously overpriced. We ate vegetarian - 4 gyosa for £9, 3 pieces of tofu for £8. Really???? Come on guys, I know this is Winchester but there is such a thing as a rip off. This is one of the few places I actually left still hungry. Won't be back.

I had the pleasure of dining at Kyoto Kitchen, where the experience was elevated by the outstanding service of Soul. The ambiance was inviting, and the sushi was top-notch. My favorite dish, the Winchester roll, was a delightful combination of flavors that left me craving more. Kyoto Kitchen is a must-visit for sushi lovers, and Soul's attentive service added an extra layer of warmth to the entire dining experience.

We had a fabulous meal at Kyoto. Never had Japanese before, didn't want one of the set menus so spent time before planning what we thought would be good. Our server was brilliant explaining everything to us and suggesting the best way to have what we'd chosen. The order was excellent, starting with three small plates, then the Santen Mori with dynamite roll and then the Gin Dara which was simply amazing. The servers were really happy to chat to us, which we like, but would have been equally happy to deliver the food and disappear if we hadn't engaged with them. Finished with the two Japanese desserts (can't eat English icecream in a Japanese restaurant!) and a cherry blossom tea. A delightful birthday celebration and we will definitely return

From start to finish the service was impeccable and made us feel very comfortable, welcomed and special. The tasting menu we will remember for a long time - our favourite was the chicken with soy marinade and the sashimi course. Outstanding!
