Kyo Kitchen - Halifax

This was an unexpected gem of a restaurant. It was a first visit for all of us. The dining room has a lively downtown vibe. It was moderately loud but one could easily carry on a conversation without having to shout across the table. The cocktail menu was varied and interesting. The cocktails were prepared by the mixologist with great care and precision-an entertaining show in its own right! Our server was very helpful,good natured and professional in every way. The service was efficient and unobtrusive. The menu was also of good variety and grouped into different sized plates. There were six of us at the table so we shared multiple dishes. All were excellent.We did not try the ramen. The food was excellent and delivered to the table in short order and at the perfect dining cadence. All in all,this was an exceptional dining experience. It is certainly much better than some of the higher profile restaurants that have opened downtown recently. It deserves to do well and is worth more than one visit.

Great cocktails , works of art and really tasty . food was outstanding as was service

We have been here before and it was incredible, the food is good but the service could’ve been better. They seemed to have a scheduling problem and told us that we might have to cut it short for other guest reservations. Felt rushed which was unfortunate. But the food was good and the ambiance was very neat.

The service was top notch. Having never had sake before, we ordered a flight and the waitress was great at explaining the differences and attentive as we had questions. The food was delicious. The drink menu was also really impressive and I recommend the Shady Business drink. For someone who doesn’t love whiskey, I was blown away. Neat ambience, wonderful service and will definitely be there again.

Overall a good experience. The food was fantastic and offered at a good price for what you get. Unfortunately, the service wasn’t fantastic, we were waiting for our food for a long time and one of the plates we ordered was not made. Also there were only two servers on a busy Friday night which caused for long wait times, and for service to be delayed. I would recommend this spot, but maybe not on their busy nights unless you’re okay with waiting. Also definitely recommend you do a reservation as it is a popular small restaurant/bar.
