Great place for traditional Japanese street food. The service was great too. We tried Lots of new dishes, and all were good.

If you are looking for authentic, this is about as close as you can get before getting on a plane and going to Japan. I have also been to Japan many times and found this to be the most authentic experience in Pittsburgh. Definitely will be back!
As other reviews have said, only complaint is that the salmon onigiri has next to no salmon inside of it. And Everytime I order rice, it never arrives and I have to remind the staff

Wonderful place! Easy to put a reservation in a couple days before. The experience did take us back to our Japan vacation a little, with ordering on a tablet, the delicious food and drink, general atmosphere, and the service. The okonomiyaki, shrimp tempura, and gyoza were all so tasty. I didn’t feel like we were charged way too much for things.
My only complaint is with the salmon yaki onigiri… It had only the tiniest flake of salmon in it, while my friend’s had a more normal amount.

I just came back from Kyoto around 2 months ago, and I accidentally discovered this hidden gem in Pittsburgh! Their food tastes exactly like, sometimes even better, than some of the food I had at Kyoto. The decorations in store is also very aesthetic as well, and not to mention, their price is also very fair! We ordered 8-9 dishes and it was only around $70! 15/10 WOULD RECOMMEND AND I WOULD COME BACK AGAIN!!!

Great meal today. A satisfying lunch of a bento box and a side of pork kimchi that adjusted my attitude, and the neatly presented food made me smile

I had heard good things about Kyoto and wanted to try a Japanese restaurant, which serves more than sushi. Kyoto didn’t disappoint. The ambiance and homely and the service is friendly. Most of the food was delicious, while some of it was ok. In appetizers th pork katsu was descent, while the takoyaki was very good. We got kids (4 & 7) the pork gyoza, Yakima soba noodles, and Yaki onigri. They loved it all. My wife ordered teppanyaki eel, which was the highlight of the dinner. I ordered the oknomiyaki, and it was delicious as well. Overall we had great time here. We will definitely recommend Kyoto, we will be back here soon.

Teppanyaki Kyoto is my favourite (whole-in-the-wall) Japanese Izakaya restaurants in town!
We love the Hiroshimayaki (a Japanese pancake with yakisoba, cabbage, eggs and teppanyaki and mayo sauce) and Karage Chicken (Japanese Fried Chicken).
The Takoyaki (Octopus balls), Chicken/Pork Katsu Curry, and Japanese Croquettes are great too!
Their service is quick, but they can get quite busy, so I recommend reserving a spot.

I got the bonito yaki onigiri, the bacon mochi and the miso soup for a simple meal. The service was very quick and polite, the restaurant is very sweetly decorated and you can tell the family who runs it is very dedicated to it. The onigiri and the miso soup both lacked in flavor, but the bacon mochi was very flavorful and unique and would probably be the only thing I would reorder if I go.

I went there on Wednesday with some friends and family and the food was delicious, especially the Okonomiyaki. The atmosphere was lovely and our server was very nice to us. We will definitely be back! (Also, the shrimp tempura was very good!) (Also, I went here back in March of last year with some family and friends, and the food and atmosphere were very nice and lovely, and our server was very nice to us!)

Hands down the best Japanese food I’ve ever had. The older woman running the front was kind and appropriately attentive, the atmosphere at lunch time on a Thursday was very quiet with just myself my partner and a few other older women fussing over who paid the bill. The pork katsu kare was phenomenal, the takoyaki and onigiri were fresh-fresh, I burned my mouth on those squid balls and didn’t regret a single bite. I would drive the 6 hours to make a trip back to this restaurant and if you are in Pittsburgh and do not have Teppanyaki Kyoto in your calendar, make room, order lots and enjoy yourself. A hidden gem I will be visiting again.
