I've been aware of Little Kyoto for quite a while now but have only recently had the opportunity to enjoy their food, and enjoy it I did, as did the rest of my family. The wait for takeout on Friday was onerous, but worth it for me, as I sent my daughter. She had a different opinion but she can write her own review, I was very happy.

From the outside it just looks like someone's house. who knows maybe it is? But the 5 rolls and tempura vegetables my husband and I had were AMAZING! Probably THE BEST we have ever had! We had The Star,(our favorite!) You could taste every layer of the roll I swear! We had the Butterfly, the Tiger and the Dynamite. (I believe that was it's name.) Their hours are weird, Weekdays: 11:30-1 and then again 5-7. No weekends. They no longer serve beer or wine.

Little Kyoto is a little yellow house with parking on the left (north) side. I've been hunting for a good sushi place in the inland PNW. (Sushi-I was terrible and Fu-ki was passable), but now my hunt is over. Little Kyoto is by far the best we've found in the inland PNW. The ingredients were fresh and each ingredient had the proper taste and texture and look. We also sampled their bulgogi and green curry, which were pretty good, but the Rainbow Roll was excellent 9/10. Don't let the casual atmosphere fool you, the sushi chef in this mom and pop shop is a master at his craft. They also do takeout.

Little Kyoto holds the key to what sushi is all about. Granted, I've never been to Japan, so most of this review is coming from a stupid American mind. Little Kyoto has THE best sushi in North Idaho by far. The variety is amazing and the service is efficient. The only thing that is a downside to this place is the inconsistent schedule that they are actually open. If you happen to score a lucky night that they are open, be prepared to wait for a table before you eat.
