The first thing I noticed when I entered Kyoto Bowl was the aroma of Pla-Doh. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive tan and periwinkle decor. We were greeted and seated in the Stamp Room, an exotic room decorated with numerous roses and sleek ropes. Our waitress, whose name was Olga, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were enchiladas, pecan pie, scrambled eggs, and cinnamon toast. I decided to order Catfish stew Pavlova and my companion, Morgan, ordered Hamburgers Rockefeller. Olga seemed enraged as she brought in our orders about thirty-four minutes later. I had a piece of fried chicken on the side, and Morgan had a roast Cornish game hen. A hot toddy was a perfect complement for my catfish stew.
The Catfish stew was fresh but a bit wet. The common way to cook with habañero peppers is to marinate first, but our chef chooses to sauté, then blend it into the catfish stew. Morgan thought the hamburgers seemed a bit hand-carved, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred fourteen dollars, which I think is tolerable. Overall, the food was atrocious, the atmosphere was fair, and the service was gratifying. If you are a careful person, this might be the worst place for you.
