Came with my friend a week or so ago. Restaurant was not busy, so we got seated immediately. Food did take a bit of time to come out. Uni bowl - Yummm!!! Super buttery and fresh! Chicken udon & Edamame: Taste the same with other restaurant, nothing memorable. Soft shell crab - Crunchy, crispy, taste great with the dipping sauce. I gave 4 stars because we think the server might have forgot about our soft shell crab order. Because we got everything else, and the soft shell crab didn't come out until we asked for it... But overall, I would go back and eat there if I'm around the area! read more

The food is excellent with traditional Japanese flavor. I fully recommended the Kiyo Arcadia.

Really enjoyed our dinner here. The shabu shabu set came with a generous veggie platter and a light broth that made the wagyu taste even better. The beef cubes were juicy, and the uni was creamy and fresh. It's a cozy spot, not too loud, and great for a slow, comfort-food kind of night. Would recommend trying the shabu if you visit. read more

I recently visited Kiyo for dinner & I loved everything about the experience, from the sushi bar ambiance and the prompt service, to the iPad menus which made it easy to sort through the extensive offerings in an organized, simple and visually appealing way. The Chirashi bowls & Uni Gyutofu were some of my favorite dishes, along with the A5 certified Wagyu & the Bluefin O-Toro sushi. Everything was super fresh & flavorful! I definitely would recommend giving Kiyo a try. So good! read more

Didn't expect much but turned out to be one of the best meal I've had in LA. Seriously they have very good Wagyu A5 shabu shabu and live lobster!! The wagyu literally melts in the mouth. It's the best shabu shabu I've had so far. The portion is quite small, though, but that's expected from the price of the grade A5 I guess. For sushi, the Toro parts are what I would order again. Great service! Lovely vibe! read more

My favorite dish was the fresh oysters -- incredibly sweet and flavorful, completely different from the ones I've had elsewhere. The difference was night and day. The unagi (grilled eel) on the rice was thick and tender -- definitely worth trying! The sashimi came in generous cuts, thickly sliced and filling the entire bowl. The portion size was impressive, and the ingredients were top-quality. On top of the amazing food, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and authentic. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish read more

came here for lunch during thanksgiving week and got opportunity to order from their lunch menu. A chirashi bowl for $22 was a such a great deal given the variety of pieces they included: salmon, tuna, yellowtail, scallop, and more. They even have a salmon don in the lunch menu and that was a good deal too. you get about 8 pieces of thick salmon over rice. each piece of the fish were very fresh. the only complaint i had was the 20% tip the charge us for a table of 6 (4 adults, 2 children). Service wasn't exceptionally great - all they did was just dropped off the waters and our orders. they didn't come by to check on us, didn't even ask if we need more water, honestly there wasn't any service except giving us the food. Also one of the dishes we ordered was slow; we had to ask them to make sure they're still making it or if it's forgotten. So to charge us that high was a bit ridiculous. And this was during lunch on a weekday. read more

Lobster sashimi! I m coming for that! and shabushabu for limited time offer with wagyu beef! I m here! Inside the same plaza with au 79 tea house Women owned business and let's support. The food are very fresh, all sushi and sashimi we had here are delicious. You can tell by the quality and the freshness from each pieces. They are now have Shabu Shabu for winter season, the Wagyu beef are amazing. It's literally just melted in your mouth. Soup base are rich and creamy. Lobster sashimi is also the season now. They will also make soup by using lobster head. Wagyu sushi is so delicious, I could easily finish 4 pieces by myself. lol Recommend this place to all sushi lover and will definitely come back soon. read more

A friend recommended a Japanese restaurant that I had never tried before! This past weekend, my friends and I visited it and found every dish to be fresh and delicious. I'd like to share and recommend it to everyone. The three of us ordered numerous seafood dishes and finished everything on our plates--it was incredibly satisfying, haha. I particularly enjoyed their sweet shrimp; it was exceptionally fresh and had a melt-in-your-mouth quality. The wagyu sushi was also delectable, with meat that was rich but not greasy, offering a very savory taste. As a sea urchin enthusiast, I couldn't resist ordering the sea urchin tofu and sea urchin oysters . Both were delightful surprises; it had been too long since I last had such fresh seafood. My friends and I quickly devoured them, haha. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves fresh Japanese cuisine. Additionally, parking is very convenient, as there's a plaza right in front of the restaurant. read more

A chill modern place to crave for fresh ingredients and superb uni dishes! We tried multiple dishes and they all tasted great with generous amount of premium fish, and the wagyu is a must try too. If you love seafood & cooked rolls, the lobster baked rolls is a must try. Nice service too. read more

KIYO Arcadia - Lunch chirashi - Japanese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Being completely candid, we decided to give them a shot since we didn't want to wait in the long queue for Menya Hanabi which is in the same plaza. Was rather disappointed. Came around lunchtime and opted for some rice bowls and sides of sashimi instead of the full sushi experience. It was quite a hot mess. The rice bowls were definitely not up to par and the fish quality was very meh. Oyako Don: 1.5/5 Honestly tasted like soggy rice... Featured grilled chicken, onions, egg, and ginger. Theoretically the sauce is supposed to be super flavorful and bring everything together, but it was nonexistent. Overall a very bland and moist dish. My favorite part were the onions... read more

KIYO Arcadia - Oyako Don - Japanese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Was searching for a sushi dinner and luckily I found this place. I've been to this plaza many times, but never realized this sushi restaurant tucked in the corner. There are a few tables outside for outdoor dining. I chose to sit at the sushi bar and was able to watch the sushi chefs prepare all the sushi. I had the salmon cutroll, crunchy roll, sexy lady roll, and unagi don. All the rolls were pretty good, although nothing crazy. The crunchy roll had so much crunchy flakes on it and the sexy lady roll was covered in lots of fried onion. I enjoyed the unagi don more than I expected to. The unagi was soft and full of flavor and topped on a warm bed of rice with some slices of yellow radish. A delicious and filling meal. Next time I'll have to come during lunch so that I could get the lunch specials. They also have some daily special items, but none of them stood out to me. I always see plenty of parking spots outside this restaurant. read more

Tried their meat on a stick and its amazing. Tried their red snapper sushi and OMG that is awesome. You can tell it is fresh. We recommend their toro sushi as it is so tender.

Wonderful ambiance and great customer service! Server greeted us with kindness and the cooks were fast paced. I am amazed at how refreshing and tasteful their sushi is!!! Had live sweet shrimp for the first time and Kumamoto oysters with uni all I can say is that it DOES NOT get any fresher than that. I am extremely satisfied with my visit at Kiyo, from the service, to the ambiance, and delicious food! They're also known for their vertified wagyu Grade: 5, the meat is so tender and literally melts in your mouth and if you're a beer lover like me, dont forget to wash it down with their Japanese Draft beer. Can't wait to come back! read more

Sushi here cannot be beat. It's always easy to get a table regardless of time of day or week though I wish them more business. My husband and I are sushi snobs. We've been to Japan so we feel we have some context. The sushi at Kiyo is the closest we've found to the flavor and quality of sushi in Tokyo. They have plenty of great fish options if you're more adventurous. They even have raw clams which is a treat and cannot be found easily. They are super tasty btw! We've come here at least 10 times now and they are consistent which beats every other sushi place we've tried (and we've tried many including all the ones around a 5 mile radius to here). Flavor, freshness is always a 5 stars. Service is simple and effective, nothing to complain about. We've tried their cooked foods which have all been good as well (except uni pasta was probably the weakest in flavor and wouldn't recommend) But we come primarily for their sushi. Lunch special chirashi bowl value is amazing. $20 gets you a bowl with tons of thick cut sliced fish on top of perfectly made sushi rice that's so addicting you have to eat every kernel. Depending on availability, I've gotten lucky and even had sweet shrimp or uni in my bowl. You'd have to easily pay $8 at least just for one piece of either at any other restaurant! Lunch special hand rolls are also an amazing value. Ambience is cool, hip, soft pop music playing. Very comfortable. They have a picture menu on a tablet device that makes ordering super easy. There is plenty of parking in the lot. Go to the boba place next door after your meal for a perfect sweet finish to your meal. Closed on Mondays. Went to Kisen across the street because Kiyo wasn't open and was severely disappointed. Not sure what the hype is with that place. Kiyo is where it's at! read more

First and foremost, it was my second time here and I can't fathom why this spot has less than 4 stars. The quality of the fish was actually amazing, and I drool thinking about it. KIYO is a smaller spot tucked away in the corner of a plaza in Arcadia. Parking is easy and accessible, wait times are usually non-existent and the staff/service has always been friendly, fast and attentive. I swung by during lunch time on a Friday and happily thumbed through their lunch special menu. - Sushi Platter: 8 pieces of assorted fish + 6 cut pieces of sushi for $30.00. So worth it. The collection is fresh and absolutely delicious. I'm not a tamago fan, so I checked with the waiter before ordering and was happy to hear that it was NOT one of the pieces included. - Spicy Salmon Handroll: A tasty $4.00 bite! I left surprisingly full and so happy. On another occasion, I got the chirashi bowl - also amazing and SO worth it. If you're around, I recommend checking this spot out because the rating does NOT do it justice. read more

@kiyoarcadia is a cozy restaurant with a variety of dishes to try. I tried quite a few. The Vegetable Tempura and Deep Fried Calamari were crispy and light. Shrimp Tempura Udon had a mild broth with noodles cooked perfectly and yummy shrimp tempura which was perfect for a cold rainy night. White Peach Yuzu Soda was so refreshing and flavorful. So good! Miso Chilean Sea Bass was moist and flavorful and a perfect balance of sweet miso. Fresh Oysters were good quality and delicious. Shrimp so fresh it was still moving. I did not try it I prefer my food not moving at all. read more

Chirashi bowls are pretty huge for take out and very filling. Even eating half way through, I felt pretty full and the fish was fresh, with additional mixed fish with spicy salmon with what I think was mayo and spicy tuna scooped in additional to the sashimi. Also, their sushi rice was pretty good. I also loved that when I requested extra ginger online, they packed it in and also added an ice pack for my pick up order. read more

KIYO Arcadia - Chirashi Don take out - Japanese Near Me - Arcadia, California

One of the best sushi shops in town, it offers the freshest sushi, and special hand rolled . The best roll I recommend is dragon roll, inside consist of imitate crab meat and topping off with avocado and dipped inside sides of house special sauce. I came during the night time, and the special today was their Shabu Shabu, with the weather getting cold, highly recommend to get the Shabu Shabu as they offer variety of meat ranging from A5 Japanese wagyuuu to American ribeyes. Highly recommend everyone to try their A5 Japanese wagyuuu, it melts in your mouth and very sweet. read more

This teview os solely on service as I never got a chance to try their sushi. I sat doawn at the bar and chef ignored me throught out the time. I only end up ordering a few appetizers which also took a while and also had to cancel one. Never been at sushi bar where chef doesnt acknowledge you. read more

It's inside a plaza with lots of parking, so very easy to get in and out. The restaurant is small inside, with limited seating, but it feels cozy and clean. You can tell they focus more on quality food than fancy space. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and looked beautiful. The chef really puts care into everything. I loved the oysters - they brought out kumamoto's which were my fav. So fresh with uni and ikura! Aji (mackerel) sashimi - I usually don't like aji, but this one was so soft and buttery. Surprised me! Lobster roll - Full of meat, not stingy at all. Very tasty. Definitely recommend. Authentic japanese sushi restaurant/! read more

Decide to try a new sushi restaurant and found this one in yelp. Overall we are very satisfied with the food that we had (and price is reasonable too) Portion is BIG, fish is very fresh, the cut is a pretty generous thick cut. We tried the chirashi bowl, both regular and premium. Both are super good. If you really like sweet shrimp and uni, get the premium one, you won't be disappointed it in. The surprising dish is definitely the drill beef tongue, seasoned well and just cook to the right tenderness. The teriyaki beef is of HUGE portion again. But tastes good. Very satisfied and will come back again for sure read more

Pandemic review Swung by when plan A dinner spot failed. Had zero expectations. Having been on a hunt for good chirashi, I chose the premium chirashi $40 without hesitation. It exceeded my expectations. Soo good!! Every piece was a personal favorite. Memorable fish included the scallop, blue fin tuna, Chutoro, salmon and of course the uni. Great portions and good rice and fish ratio. Nice touch with the yuzu hot sauce. Ikura was poppin' . Everything was top notch quality. No fillers with tamago or squid. All high quality pieces. Considering the scarcity of good sushi in 626 and at this price point and quality, 5 stars hands down. Will be back for more. Don't forget, Yelp check in for free miso soup or dessert. read more

Trying someplace new for sushi for our Friday night meal. KIYO popped up on our search so we gave them a spin. We ordered in person in order to see the updated menu and to check what their daily specials were. Heeding other Yelpers' comments, we stayed away from their cooked items and stuck with the raw. * Salmon don ($27.95) * Blue crab cut roll ($12) * Spicy tuna cut rolls ($8) * Spider roll ($13) This is the first time I've had cucumber in a spicy tuna or blue crab roll, so it was an unexpected addition that I didn't quite care for. I was pleased that the blue crab roll wasn't heavy on the mayo, but they aren't as good as Sugarfish's blue crab roll and KIYO's one cost more too. The spider roll was good and so was the salmon don (especially if you're craving salmon, there's at least three types of salmon prepared in it). They offer miso soup or ice cream with a Yelp check-in. Unfortunately, they were out of ice cream for the day, so we got miso soup with our order. I asked them to leave out the wasabi, ginger, and containers of sauces (still have so much at home from previous sushi takeout), but somehow it wasn't communicated because I still got it anyways. I appreciate trying out a local place I haven't been to before, but I don't see myself on a repeat visit. Plenty of parking in the lot, but because there are a lot of businesses in the plaza and outdoor dining has taken up parts of the parking lot, you may need to park farther. read more

A small Japanese restaurant located in a plaza. There is indoor and outdoor seating. ::Food:: I was getting pizza next door but had a sudden craving for tempura so I got it here. Surprisingly, it was so good, I got it again the next day. The vegetables (eggplant, sweet potato, onions, squash, shishito pepper) are perfectly deep-fried and not oily. I like the tempura sauce too. We also got the Spicy Tuna roll.
