Kyoto

Named after the former imperial city of Japan, Kyoto specializes in sushi and other Japanese dishes that have won awards at Taste of Cincinnati and Taste of Blue Ash. Shipments of fresh fish arrive several times weekly, and the happy hour roll, made with shrimp tempura and spicy tuna, is a customer favorite. The menu also includes teriyaki chicken, fish dishes and more. Don't know your sushi from your sashimi? Check out Kyoto's user-friendly Web site: Its interactive menu includes photos of each dish and a dictionary of Japanese food terms. Kyoto is small, but it also offers carryout service to compensate for the limited seating.
