Kappazushi

This is certainly one of the best sushi places we tried, and we tried many, including some that are higher rated on the Trip Advisor (and which therefore tend to be mobbed, while we were immediately seated in this one). The service was also very good.

Located in the Pontocho Alley, Kappa Zushi is a restaurant on two floors, one side overlooking the river. We were 7 people, so we had reserved a private room to accomodate our group, which is not easy to do in Japan. The environment is very nice and characteristic, the staff speaks good english and... they are very polite and efficient. The sushi at Kappa is fresh and expertly prepared, and the service is friendly. Try the otoro, chutoro sushi and the sashimi for best experience. Price is adeguate with the quality of the food and the location.

We were two friends for a nice dinner. The restaurant was full we sat on the bar - just next to the sushi chef. One choose the sushi one by one - she had a nice sushi order. I asked for 10 combination according to the chef recommendation. This was amazing. One sushi was so tasty it melted in my mou...th with great flavor. The chef explained that it was a fatty Tuna (I never know before). We enjoyed so much that we went again for the second night.

Decided to visit this place as top rated sushi in the area and was heavily disappointed. Price tags are high, however the quality and service are average. Balcony is reserved for those, who are ready to pay 5000 yen minimum for combo menu. Combine it with never ending queue at the entrance and you a...re sure to be frustrated.

This place was recommended by the hotel we were staying and it was horrible. The sushi was old and overpriced. With so many great sushi places in Kyoto, this place is sad.
