The dining room is cozy, comfortable and the lighting creates a great atmosphere. The deserts were very tasty and unique, and the saki/liquor menu is extensive and fun. It was their first night, and the service was slow, but the staff is very personable. Will definately go back... Went to kyotofu last night…. a very nice experience!

Went to their website and there wasn't a lot on it yet. I tried to do research to find out more and this article popped up. There does not seem to be any website for the location in Japan....... hmmmmm Daily Candy just sent out an e-mail about this place. Went to their website and there wasn’t a lot on it yet.

A few friends were champing at the bit to try out Kyotofu, and talked about it all week- until I kindly informed them today that it's not open yet. :) Made me look like a real in-the-know gal! (And now I send the link... and they will mock my comment.) Click. Thanks for keeping me in the know- even though I’m not in midtown.

It sounds like they want to start a branch in the states then bring BACK to Japan and market it as New York-style -- happens alot.
