Kyoto Garden Modern Japanese - Glenview

Food: I think this is the best Japanese restaurant I've eaten at. The best salad we've ever had. Ginger house salad was amazing. The miso soup was super flavorful. The teriyaki chicken was perfect.Service: Immediately sat down, ordered, very friendly and quick.Ambiance: Very very clean. Holiday deco, soft music was nice.

This place has a high star rating for a reason. So fresh and delicious. Kyoto spring rolls were amazing!

My husband and loved Makisu but when it closed we tried this place and were surprised to learn that the chef had worked at both places! AMBIENCE: The ambience was much warmer than many of the sushi places we've been to, which we far preferred lots of natural light, but also warm wood and plants. Modern yet welcoming. FOOD: The nigiri was fresh and perfect. We only ordered nigiri and a couple simple rolls but everything was delicious. SERVICE: the owner came and chatted with us briefly, which is how we learned the connection with Makisu. Friendly and friendly welcoming.

The ramen noodles were not cooked and the taste of the broth was disappointing. The raw fish was not fresh either. The cleanliness of the table was not good either.

I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Kyoto Garden. My friend recommended I try the Lychee Martini, and it did not disappoint! The lunch specials were all great deals! I enjoyed the spicy tuna, tuna nigiri, tuna sashimi, and a side salad for $16! The ambiance is cute, and there is also outdoor seating available for when the weather is nice. The service was great- the staff was all very friendly. I'll definitely be back for another meal!
