Kyotori is an essential part of my diet. I’ve been at least 45 times in my life, and Katherine and I have made it a staple of our “rotating Garden Grove” restaurants that we visit frequently, surpassed by of course the delicious Kaju.

In high school I went and took pictures with a couple of friends, many of which I now longer talk to, but they introduced me to the restaurant. They used to have polaroids they hung on the walls of the restaurant all the way back in 2008. How time flies. My go to order has of course also been the Chicken Gyoza Bowl, but ever since I found out I’m not actually allergic to seafood I have been ordering more rolls. Including the delicious baked salmon and crunch rolls.

We ordered 3 rolls and a Chicken Gyoza Bowl, which proved itself to be too much food for us. And yet we were bloated, so that made us happy for a short time.

As a contented married couple, I am confident that Kyotori will continue to be a restaurant that we will visit with joy in the future.
