We have eaten in many, many restaurants throughout Australia and Asia, including Japan - and Kyo Yakiniku is, undoubtedly, one of the best. The menu is plentiful, the food moorish and the service is awesome (some staff are struggling with English, but so be it) Overall we give is a max 5 stars and will absolutely be back…

The food quality, the environment, and the service are very good. The price is reasonable for the quality of food. The down side is the one hour time limit on ordering food and 1.5 hours staying limit. It is quite rush for gathering with friend. Overall is good.

Delicious food as always! Looks like they’ve changed their menu up a bit as there were so many new items I’d like to try in the near future. I was really disappointed with the ramen, it seems they’ve downsized, singular piece of chashu pork and not much broth anymore either. Noodles clumped together a lot more than usual, so that was a bit disappointing

Ambiance and music is great. Service is outstanding. Love the daily specials and happy hour cocktails. The tacos are so good and the custard bao donut is to die for.
