Kyoto Gift & Food

This is a must go to location for Japanese specialty items and a killer back of house sushi bar. Master sushi Chef Wilmer will create magic for you.

Great customer service! It feels like a speak easy and that makes it such a personal experience. Prices are amazing, used to the overpriced Japanese items? Not here. Sushi is fresh and generous in proportions. Can’t wait to bring friends and family over.

Great place to buy asian foods the sushi place is very cozzy food taste good and great prices will come again and recomend

Did I ever tell u of a hidden Japanese store? They have yummy Japanese food, and a sushi maker in the back. I've been there many times for snacks..... but I munch as soon as the door shuts behind me always forgetting to take a pic.

Today I wanted to share that they have the most DELICIOUS MOCHI green tea ice cream EVER! SOFT and yummy... next time I go there I'll take pictures. I'm craving it
..
so many times a repeat customer

I finally thought of taking pictures.... but the drive home... we ate about all the Matcha KitKats
But yeah, here u can get a big bag of Hi Chew so much better than Now or Later or Starburst candies. And Ginger Chews? Yeah they r d bomb!

Got the picture of the mochi enjoy. My son drank up his coconut drinks and chowed up on the snacks so couldn't get those pics.

*****
Ya gotta call in because when the car shows pop up on Sunday afternoons (not sure which Sundays) but there's an amazing lineup of vintage cars. Them they make the susbi outdoors. So you gotta go!!!

This place is the hidden gem of National City. If you're looking for amazing Sushi and hard to find Japanese grocery items, this is the place!

Small Japanese grocery store but has most popular items. Best thing is in the back at the sushi bar. The chefs are fantastic and very good sushi.

Definitely a hidden gem in National City! The employees were super helpful and nice. They even had boba tea ingredients to make at home!

My wife and I heard about this place from a cousin of mine. So we decided to give this place a shot. I'm glad we did. I've been to other sushi places that are more fancy than Kyoto gift, but not as good. I forgot to ask the persons name who prepared our food. This place is informal, but the food is great and fresh and we'll definitely be returning.

Great spot for getting ingredients for Japanese dishes and fresh sushi/sashimi/poke made to order. Always delicious!

I love this mini Japanese store. I come here for our favorite snacks for kids (sea weed, sweet crackers, mochi) and adults (variety of sake). I recently tried the poke bowl and it was so tasty. Just the right size portion and the ahi taste so fresh, i didn't need to add flavoring to the fish to eat it (like some chain places I've been to). I'll keep coming to the little store for all our Japanese necessities.

Went into the back part of the store and order the best sushi I've had in a while. Awesome customer service and great experience. My whole family got to seat down and talk with the chef who kept us entertained and was very friendly. Highly recommend for a date spot.

My first time here and I will definitely visit again. The workers were all so friendly. I found my favorite coffee and some stuff I need for cooking. I tried their delicious decent price sushi rolls (Hawaiian roll & Philly roll) looking forward to try more sushi when I visit again :)

Kyoto gift & food offers many asian treats in a small location & much better pricing than Kearney Mesa area asian stores. Get fresh sushi in the back section, freshly hand made by Chef Jeff Roberto! This is a hidden gem on Sweetwater Rd near NFCU.

This place is incredible. They walked us through all the ingredients we need to make sushi (new sushi kit novices) and then the chef actually did a tutorial while making ours. Clean and well-stocked. Super friendly!

This little place is a hidden gem. Please ask for help if you're not sure about any product. The staff is courteous and polite. Wonderful sushi offerings by a live chef. Also the place to go if you want a chunk of ahi grade tuna to make your own sashimi or poke bowl.

I love the sushi rainbow roll and the philly roll gotta try them and the sake and affordable $$

Kyoto Gift and Food is an interesting place! It is small, quaint and quirky! It's was awesome that they were making fresh Sushi and have yummy Japanese Osenbei and other items I could not pick up at the local Marukai or Mitsuwa. What made me laugh was all the comical t-shirts that they were selling. The one I took a picture of made me laugh the hardest!!!

Snacks, essential Japanese sauces and ingredients, and some frozen items. Really happy to see them growing. They now have in house made sushi.

The guys that were working in this place were the coolest guys I have ever met. I went in looking stuff to make kimchi and got a whole history lesson. The sushi bar is what trying next. Great store with items you can't find in regular stores. Love it.

I called earlier to see if they have my favorite green tea matcha, and the person was very nice and friendly. I love this store very much, and I love the culture of Japan. I enjoy this store very much, and hope more people comes to this place.
