KYOTO GARDEN SUSHI

BEST FOR Seafood and Japanese-inspired fare. FOOD Miso soup with tempura scallops is a perfect way to kick things off: sweet, succulent scallops are offset by a salty miso broth. For mains, the ramen with prawns satisfies a big appetite, while The Saute – tofu, oysters, salmon, mushrooms, prawns, octopus, langoustine and mixed greens – sends your taste buds into overdrive. Other mains include duck with udon noodles, seared tuna and Japanese curry chicken with soba noodles. Sushi and sashimi are well represented. Desserts include ice creams such as black sesame, yuzu, cherry blossom and chocolate, tempura green tea and toasted tofu with ginger. DRINKS An interesting cocktail list and good selection of red and white wine. Japanese beers, whiskey and sake are also available. SERVICE Relaxed and friendly with a good knowledge of the menu. AMBIENCE A tasteful, neutral palette with a small bar that has a view of the kitchen. (LIB)
