Teppanyaki Kyoto - Pittsburgh

Our love affair with Teppanyaki Kyoto started almost a decade ago. We stumbled upon this restaurant when trying to experience authentic Japanese cuisine. As my husband and I are originally from Long Island NY and NYC, we had once had many restaurants that fit the bill. That changed, however, after moving to Pittsburgh. That said, none of them can hold a candle to Teppanyaki Kyoto. We have dined in restaurants with several Michelin stars and have often wondered why this restaurant has yet to earn one. They deserve it. We decided to have a meal here to get a baseline before leaving for our honeymoon in Japan, that way the experience would be fresh in our minds. There was not a single bite we had anywhere in Japan... not in Tokyo, not in the countryside... not near Mount Fuji, that exceeded the taste, preparation or quality of this restaurant. It is 100% authentic and an absolute gem. We are so lucky to have this wonderful restaurant in our city. When guests arrive from NY and beyond, this is always a MUST and our guests always request that at some point we go here for lunch or dinner. In the just under a decade we have been going to this restaurant it has ALWAYS been consistent, delicious, never a mishap or mistake, never a rude waiter or waitress and above all, we have always been welcomed for a delicious meal. Thank you.

This restaurant came highly recommended by friends and it did not disappoint! Visited this past weekend to celebrate a family birthday and we had such a lovely time. We ordered many dishes all to share, and our server expertly coursed out the food and offered excellent recommendations. The kimchi was to die for- could have eaten an entire serving myself! Loved the silken tofu, and my brother in law said the shrimp tempura was the best he’d ever had. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks!

Very good food, smaller portions then I like for the price but that's more me then the restaurant. The sauce on the dish is a little sweet for me and if I go again I would order less sauce or more mayo. The toppings I order made the dish a little boring if I go again I will order a greater variety of toppings. Overall very good and if I'm ever nearby it again I would likely return.

Without doubt, the best hidden restaurant in all of Pittsburgh. You'd be hard-pressed to find more Authentic Japanese food at a reasonable price. Their sake and Japanese beer selection is also quite impressive!

I ordered through Postmate at 8:45pm because I was CRAVING for Okonomiyaki. (They closes at 9pm) The driver arrived around 9:40 and got the order! I so appreciate them stayed opened and waited for the driver to come and honored the order that had already been placed. The food was DELICIOUS. Thank you so much and definitely will be back!
