    The sushi bar.
    Sandy K.

    After visiting their new location in Irvine I was curious to try this original location. Located within minutes of LA Fitness, I arrived just after the lunch hour during the week. Parking is abundantly available since it's located in a shared strip center. There's a sushi bar, but I opted to dine at a table with a view of the sushi bar where there were two itamae chefs. I opted for the sashimi lunch, which is served over sushi rice, and a spicy tuna hand roll. The lunch included hot tea and miso soup. The sashimi was solid with scallop, various cuts of sashimi, and uni. The service was prompt, but the waitress hostess staff was all business and could have been friendlier although she might have been overwhelmed, since she was seating patrons, taking orders and serving customers. Overall, it was an average lunch experience, although I preferred their new Irvine location, due to the friendlier service, better variety of sashimi and atmosphere.

    The food was good. Sushi was fresh and prepared very well. The Uni was bland but creamy. The toro was very good but for the price, not sure I will order again. The service was ok but could be better. The ambiance was decent and clean. We drove from IE just to try. It wasn't disappointing but wouldn't want to eat here again unless I'm in the area already.

    I was amazed by all the dish we've eaten at KIYO Arcadia. I am usually picky when it comes to Sushi and Sashimi. But the quality here did not disappoint me. Came here on a Thursday night with few gals and we were craving some fresh sushi. The restaurant is giving a nice clean ambiance. Besides the regulat menu, they have Kiyo Omakase for $198.00 , chef's special menu, daily special menu, and a lunch special special / combo. which the prices are affordable. We ordered a little bit of everything. - LIVE Uni - LIVE Sweet Shrimps ( Sashimi) - Kumamoto Oyster with Uni and Ikura ( Half Dozen) - Premium CHirashi Don, - Phoenix Roll , Tuna Lover Roll , Banzai Roll - Miso Chilean Seabass - Kobe Gyutan Ugh.... *drool* I still cannot get over the freshness of the Live shrimp, Oyster and the Uni. That was top quality I've had. This is my first time seeig a giant live uni and it was sill moving! Uni was so fresh, rich and creamy, melts instantly and the Amaeabi has such a delicate soft texture and instant sweet flavor. They will use the shrimp head to make soup at the end for you. I also enjoyed the Chisrashi and the Tuna lover Roll. The Miso Chilean Seabass was another favorite of mine. So buttery, sweet and flavorful. Overall everything was amazing. Service was great. I'd come back even just to have a quick lunch or future gathering with family and friends.

    Kiyo has been open for a while. It's located in a spot where restaurants tend to change ownership, so I hadn't tried it until a friend recommended it. There was no wait on a weekday night. The restaurant was quiet, the service was attentive, and the overall vibe was nice. I ordered: Chirashi Don - Fresh Miso Chilean Seabass - Really good Seared Tuna Salad - I liked the dressing and the seared tuna Mixed Tempura - Pretty standard, nothing special, but I liked the quality of the shrimp Uni Pasta - Decent, but not very memorable Matcha Ice Cream Dessert Sake Gelato Dessert It's a bit on the pricey side, but the quality was good. Plenty of parking. I'd be interested in coming back to try their lunch specials.

    We had such a good dinner at Kiyo Japanese Cuisine in Arcadia! Their menu has SO much to choose from, which I loved because we were able to try a little bit of everything. We started with the live shrimp sashimi, which was super fresh and naturally sweet. We also had the shishito peppers, Tuna on Fire Roll, salmon carpaccio, mixed tempura, cold matcha soba, and lots of sushi and nigiri! The sweet potato tempura was sooo good, and I loved trying the cold matcha soba since I'm a huge matcha person. We ended with salmon, egg, and toro nigiri, and the toro was probably one of my favorite bites of the night because it was so soft and buttery. The staff was also really welcoming and attentive. Definitely a great spot to check out in Arcadia if you're craving Japanese food!

    February 2026 - No wait, small place but yums food. Food/Pricing - Mentai Pasta $21.95 - creamy, slightly salty, small portion but surprisingly filling and enjoyable. Tempura Udon $17.95 - simple and soothing soup. Spider Roll $14 - soft shell crab inside was deliciously crunchy, very much enjoyed the roll. Service/Ambiance - Quick friendly service. Parking - Plenty of parking in the plaza.

    Good service, easy to follow menu, and good quality fish! Ordered the premium chirashi bowl and some others. The fish was cut thick and ended up being super filling along with the rice. There wasn't any fishy smell to any of the fish and portions weren't lacking at all. The baked lobster roll and squid ended up taking awhile- we were almost finished with our other dishes by the time it came out. We arrived right at opening on Valentine's Day and it definitely filled up quick so come early especially on a weekend!

    Kiyo used to be our go to spot for lunch. They still offer a lunch special menu. Now, we come as a special treat for dinner. The sushi is always fresh. They have pictures of their rolls and nigiris on their menu on an ipad. The ipad does not tell you the price, so be wary of that. My favorite thing from here is definitely their beef tongue. It's a must every time we come. The service is great, they're always attentive and come by to check on your during your meal. The seating at the bar is nice because you can watch the sushi chefs in action. They also have specials listed behind the sushi bar that isn't listed on their menu. I would recommend this place to friends and family.

    Everything tasted so fresh n you can def taste the freshness n quality of their dishes. The live lobster was so live it was still moving lol tasted bomb. Sushi was so fresh n tofu soft n creamy. Wagyu was cooked to perfection was amazing. Pasta was just woww n matcha ice cream was so fancy served in wine glass. Service was friendly n parking is plenty in the plaza next to blaze pizza. Inside is nice n cozy.

    Chirashi bowl
    Linda W.

    Was super excited to try this Arcadia location when I always had a good time in the Irvine location. Came in for around 11:30 and loved their chriashi bowl! The rice itself was a bit hard but overall it was a great price (same price on the weekend) and the bowl came out quickly - will be returning soon for lunch again

    Chirashi bowl
    Vera L.

    Yum sushi! I came during the lunch specials, and since the chirashi bowl was included, I had to try it. The sushi quality was decent, but the generous cuts of fish really stood out. It was pretty filling, especially after the complimentary miso soup. The Hokkaido uni was wonderfully creamy and fresh, loved it! The salmon carpaccio was also very good, especially with a bite of the sliced lemon. The tongue had great texture and flavor as well, another great dish!

    Takoyaki and one of the special rolls. Came out fast and delicious!
    Grace Z.

    Our family has been to Kiyo a handful of times, and it's become my favorite sushi place. Fish is sizable and fresh, prices are reasonable. We love that they do weekend lunch special, and we specifically come for that. The sushi lunch combo always includes generous, thick slices of fresh fish and a good variety. This last time, we even got a huge scallop nigiri in our combos! We also ordered a roll and an order of takoyaki to share this time around, and both hit the spot. Interior is classy, clean, and comfortable. Service can be a little slow depending on how busy it is (on a Saturday during lunch, our 3 sushi combos arrived like 15 minutes after my grandma's chicken udon), but that speaks to the made-to-order quality, so I'm not too bummed. Overall, as a sushi fanatic who doesn't like to break the bank each time we go out, this is my go-to and we'll be back every time we're in town.

    My family has been going to kiyo for awhile! They used to have outdoor seating but are now inside only pretty much since the outdoor seating was mainly for Covid reasons. I would say it's half bar seating and half tables inside. They have some crazy fresh sushi here like their live sweet shrimp and uni. Their wagyu is a must as well and their oysters are so good!! I enjoy their chirashi as well. Service is great too.

    A 10/10 first visit, and I'm already planning my return…read more I stopped in on a Sunday around noon, party of one, and grabbed a seat at the bar. The place was fairly quiet when I arrived, but it picked up as my meal went on. The space is really well put together: nautical theme, interesting art, and lots of natural light from the windows balanced by dark wood furniture. You can watch the chefs cook from the dining area, and the long full bar has a great layout. They also had Sunday football on two TVs, which was a nice touch. It kept things casual without feeling too fancy or too much like a sports bar, just a great vibe for an afternoon of football and a good meal at the bar. The bartender made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, easy-going, and engaging, and she was quick, too. You can tell she genuinely likes her job. I'd checked the menu beforehand and spotted the mussels and fries. I love both, so I had to try it. The portion is big enough to share, but it works as an entrée if you're hungry. The fries come topped with a truffle garlic mayo, and the mussels arrive steaming hot in a delicious broth. You choose your spice level, and I went spicy. It was perfect, with plenty of heat that never buried the flavor of the broth. I usually only trust mussels near the ocean, but these were cooked perfectly and won me over. The pairing with fries is one I never would have imagined, and it works. If you like garlic, you'll love the broth. As the mayo melts in, it turns creamy and almost looks like a tomato bisque, seasoned to perfection with a flavor I've never had before. Even soaked in broth, the fries stayed crispy. One tip: I finished everything and still had a lot of broth left. My bartender offered bread for dipping, but I was too full and didn't know it was an option. Next time I'll save room or ask for bread right away. I also tried the seasonal spiked apple pie cocktail, with a cinnamon-sugar rim and a cinnamon stick garnish. It was flavorful without being overpowering, the kind of drink you could easily have more than one of. I'll be thinking about this dish until I'm back, which will probably be soon. I'm dying to try the mac & cheese topped with hot Cheetos, plus a few other things on the menu. Highly recommend!

The pasta was creamy and flavorful, and I'd recommend getting all the protein options on it. The fish and chips portion was pretty big, so it's definitely shareable between 2 to 3 people. The Brussels sprouts were probably my favorite, especially with the bacon bits and cheese on top. The ambience was really nice with a full bar, and our server was very attentive throughout the visit. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for some happy hour bites and drinks you get your bang for your buck!

The service is still great, the restaurant itself is decently clean and spacious. Sadly, the food just wasn't up to the standards I remember. Salt & Pepper Shrimp 3/10 - Poorly seasoned and lacking the crispiness I was expecting. The shrimp just didn't have much going for it. Mongolian Beef 4/10 - This was basically steamed beef with green onions. The dish lacked the caramelized, savory flavor I typically associate with Mongolian beef. Clams with Basil 5/10 - The flavor was decent, but the clams did not taste particularly fresh, which really took away from the dish. Pan-Fried Pork 2/10 - Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The pork didn't taste fresh, and the texture made it feel like it had been fried twice. The normally flavorful sauce it came with was also extremely bland. I'm actually very glad I came during lunch and paid lunch prices for these dishes. If I had paid dinner prices, I would have been extremely disappointed. The food from my previous visits weren't extraordinary, but at least it was "okay". However, after this visit, I have officially taken this restaurant off my rotation. I won't be returning.

    I had lunch at Newport Seafood Restaurant today with a friend I hadn't seen in a very long time…read more She recently reached out to me after being out of touch for quite a while and asked if I wanted to meet up. Today was a day that worked for me, so we decided to have lunch together and then get a massage afterward. Whenever I come to this area for a massage, I usually have lunch at Boston Lobster. I've heard that Boston Lobster was opened by a chef and some of the staff who used to work here at Newport Seafood Restaurant, so I wanted to come back here after a long time and compare the two restaurants for myself. First, parking. Boston Lobster has regular self-parking, while Newport Seafood has valet parking, which was $2. As for the food, I ordered one of my favorite dishes, shrimp with cashews. I've had it at Boston Lobster many times, and I definitely preferred Boston Lobster's version. We also ordered beef with tomato sauce. Honestly, it didn't look particularly appetizing when it first came out, but once I tried it, it was actually pretty good. We also ordered beef chow mein, and this was probably my favorite dish of the meal. It almost had a slightly Thai-food-like flavor, and it was really delicious. As for the service, this is where I noticed the biggest difference between the two restaurants. Every time I go to Boston Lobster, everyone there is always extremely friendly and welcoming. Here, some of the staff were friendly, but some were not friendly at all. The hostess who greeted us when we first arrived was very nice. After we sat down, she brought a small cucumber dish to our table and asked if we wanted it as an appetizer. We politely declined. Then a male server came to take our drink order and asked whether we wanted hot tea or water. I asked if they had any caffeine-free hot tea, but he didn't seem to understand me. My friend repeated the question very slowly, but he still didn't seem to understand. After we explained it one more time, he finally seemed to get what I was asking and asked if I wanted jasmine tea. I said yes, so we had jasmine tea. It was extremely hot at first, so I also asked for some cold water without ice. Later, while we were eating, we needed to serve ourselves some of the chow mein. The spoon that came with the chow mein wasn't really useful for picking up the noodles, so I asked for an extra pair of chopsticks. The server brought the chopsticks over and basically tossed them down on our table. Honestly, I found that pretty unpleasant. My friend and I looked at each other while we were eating and said, "What was that?" My friend even commented, "Chinese restaurant staff can be so unfriendly sometimes." That has never happened to me at Boston Lobster. The staff there have always been very friendly and attentive whenever I've gone. I had actually been to Newport Seafood Restaurant several times before the COVID pandemic, and I even got their lobster for takeout back then. I remember it being so delicious that, during the pandemic, I once saw on Google that the restaurant was open and drove all the way here, only to find that it was actually closed. I remember being pretty disappointed that day. So coming back here again after such a long time brought back some memories. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with the service today. On the positive side, I found the restroom here to be cleaner than the one at Boston Lobster. However, the toilet here flushes automatically rather than having a manual flush, and I actually found that a little inconvenient. One nice advantage here is that they have private rooms, which would be great if you come with a larger group and want to sit separately with your own party. They do have lunch specials on weekends, which is nice. But personally, I think I'll probably go back to Boston Lobster next time. Their prices are actually about $1-$2 cheaper, I prefer their food overall, there's no valet parking charge, and most importantly, their service has been consistently much friendlier in my experience. So while I enjoyed coming back to Newport Seafood Restaurant after all these years and I did find some dishes here very good, Boston Lobster is still the place I would personally choose for my next visit to this area.

We started with the House Pickles and some fresh oysters. Our server was great at recommending some oysters in different flavor profiles, since we liked the milkier, less briny-tasting varieties. His recs were spot on too, and I loved that they provided house-prepared mignontette and horseradish. Then, we shared the Maryland blue crab cake (one cake that was big enough for its own meal) and the U10 Diver Scallops that came in a sauce of cream, spinach and bacon, and a side of buttery, soft bread. I make scallops all the time at home and never would have thought of a sauce like this... it was dreamy! We used the bread to just about clean the plate (since it isn't really socially acceptable to lick a plate in a restaurant), and I'm still thinking about the scallops and that sauce today. The crab cake and pickles were excellent too. We paired everything with some crisp New Zealand sauv blanc. I really enjoyed this place and I'd love to go back to try to hand rolls, soups, and everything else!

Got seated in the corner for our party of three. The menu is small but the flavor is so good. All of us loved the food and would come back for sure. We got to try a seafood platter, cioppino, and ceviche. All the items were fresh and we loved every dish. So if you want some seafood and are in the area this is a nice spot with a chill vibe.
