Located minutes away from Casa Loma and George Brown, but still feels like a small neighbourhood restaurant. Lobster tacos - spicy and a bit hard to eat Assorted tempura - perfect Sunimono - perfect Kiyo roll - this had a weird crunchy topping that I didn't like that much, but the roll itself was good. I'm docking one star because the washroom needs some attention-- a deep clean or a complete reno, perhaps. Tip: if you pay by cash, you get a 10% discount! read more

All about the food! We went to order takeout on a Friday night. The restaurant was small, packed and a bit hot but we managed to pull a waiter aside to order some take out. The menu is expansive and food experience is beautiful. Each dish is designed in such a careful and meticulous manner. It really stimulates the appetite. Overall I was excited to try a couple new foods as part of the higher end sushi sampler. For the price, it is definitely worth a try. Hints! Order take out via telephone for speedy service. Certain spends receive selected free items off the menu. Pay in cash = 10% discount. read more

Kiyo - Beef Gyudon, Takoyaki, Beef Tataki, 8 Piece Premium Sushi Sampler - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My friend came in here to grab a table for four on a weekday evening and she was able to get one immediately as it was pretty empty. The restaurant was actually much more smaller than I anticipated from looking at their website and pictures. My friend ordered tempura appetizer while waiting for two friends and I to arrive. They brought her the tempura as well as soup and salad. She thought they were just being generous. When my friends and I came later, we all ordered our food. My friend who got us the table ordered the Salmon Lover (3pcs salmon sashimi, 3pcs salmon sushi and spicy salmon maki) which was served with salad and soup. My other friend also got the Salmon Lover (above) and another one got Beef Don (didn't come with soup or salad). I got the Maki Set (Salmon maki, tuna maki, California maki) served with miso soup and salad. As the waitress was bringing out the soup and salad, everyone on the table received one (even my friend who got the Beef Don) except for my friend who got us the table since she was served with soup and salad earlier. When we got our bill, my friend who got us the seats found out that she was charged extra for the soup and salad that was given to her at the beginning...she was only expecting to pay the salad and tempura she got. We thought that they would exclude from charging her that since her meal came with it. We then realized that the soup and salad that came with her combo was given to the friend who ordered the Beef Don since it didn't come with soup or salad. When my friend asked the waitress, she told us that she had the soup while waiting for us..she didn't give a proper explanation as to why she was charged. She just paid for it anyways. Although the service was quick, in terms of bringing out our meals, the waitress was not attentive. When I came late, the waitress failed to give me a cup of tea until I requested it. She also didn't refill my friends' tea when they were done without us requesting. The food was just mediocre- I was a bit disappointed with my sushi rolls because the rice was hard and didn't taste fresh. read more

I like to support local restaurants as much as possible. Having said that I have also previously eaten at Kiyo a few times. It's a very small restaurant and you must just miss it if you drove by, which would be a pity because it offers consistently good quality Sushi. Tonight my Uber Eats from Kiyo was delicious, I ordered their Osaka combo and an extra Hamachi hand roll. read more

I feel like this place is a bit of a hidden gem. They have good quality sushi & sushi rolls, cute cutlery, and the prices are reasonable. Went here with a group of 8 people and we really enjoyed ourselves. My favourite roll of the night was hands down the Kiyo speciality roll! It's torched and has a nice Smokey flavour to it. Lots of umami flavours happening. All the other rolls we ordered were good too! read more

I have visited Kiyo for lunch on a Saturday. It is a small and cozy place with very tasteful minimalist interior design. The service was impeccable. I ordered chef's sashimi plate. My mind was blown! I had yellow tail, squid, crab, and Scottish salmon. They were all very tender and came with flavorful garnish (like lemon zest on Scottish Salmon, green onion on yellowtail). I also tried hamachi maki and unagi nigiri. They were all top notch. This is a very unassuming world-class sushi joint. Highly recommended. read more

So pissed off. Walked here from casa Loma hoping to enjoy some sushi for my last night in Toronto but instead waited outside for an hour to a closed restaurant with no sign saying they're closed today. Waste of time. Fyi I came here from 4-5 when they said close from 3-4. read more

Sometimes you see a review here with nothing but glowing reviews and you can't help but wonder if something fishy is going on. That's definitely not the case with Kiyo Japanese Cuisine. We arrived at around 7:00 on a Friday, and the tiny shop was packed except for one table at the back. Score! We decided to share three things: Sushi Pizza ("Crispy rice patty topped with Salmon"): When my dining companion suggested this, I was a little skeptical. My experience with sushi pizza has always been pretty negative, as it seems to me that all you taste is the "crust" part of it. But this one... After my first bite, I noted that it was literally the best sushi pizza I'd ever eaten. There were so many amazing flavors going on here, and the textures were equally impressive. I loved it. Chef's Sushi Selection ("8pcs"): I can't remember exactly what this came with, but every single piece was absolutely incredible (although the squid/octopus was a little bouncy, admittedly). The chefs put so much care into each piece, and every component worked perfectly. The last thing we got was one of the specials, which was a roll that contained a multitude of delicious ingredients. (I wish I could better describe this one, because it was probably the highlight of a completely flawless meal.) Kiyo is definitely a gem in our fair city, and I can only hope that it sticks around for a long, long time. (Oh, but I should note: they don't offer any alcohol. We were initially disappointed we couldn't sip on hot sake during our meal, but this issue was forgotten the instant we took our first bites.) read more

Some of the best sashimi I've had in this city. Fresh and perfectly cut, great variety. Really nice service and calm atmosphere. Can't wait to come back. read more

A level above everyone else doing sushi in Toronto rn. You could tell from the kikkoman soy sauce packets that this place takes their craft seriously. The salmon was a very nice light pink that tasted very fresh. Tempura batter is light and not too heavy. Ordered here from Uber Eats, was fast and my miso soup was still warm. read more

Amazing Japanese restaurant! Everything is fresh and delicious. Started with the REAL seaweed salad (not those artificial, dyed seaweed). Love the crispy apple and Tako&Surf Clam in the salad! My favorite Hamachi sashimi with jalapeno and a spicy sauce. Super tasty! Their sea urchin and scallop nigiri were very fresh, not pricy at all. Must try!!!! Sweet prawn sashimi comes with two pieces: the sashimi itself and the deep-fried head. Apparently one order is not enough, I certainly need more Torched nigiri combo was great! The tempura was AMAZING! The best I have ever had! (Even thier miso soup and soy sauce are tasty) read more

Sashimi... I love! I just cannot get enough of yummy sashimi in this cute neighborhood Japanese restaurant! This is the first time I have visited this lovely new Japanese place and I could not believe the price and quality of the sashimi combo I got! What a great find. It seems as there are more people doing the take out than sit in, but it does not matter. Hope to go back very soon! read more

This place is now my fave spot for sushi. It's far from where I live and work but the trip is well worth it. The service is fantastic, the sushi is top notch. I also love the details in their serving dishes. read more

Best Sushi in the area by far! I've been blown away by how fresh & inventive their rolls & sashimi are. Delicious seaweed salad, while the apple dressing makes any salad worth eating. They do torched sushi as well, changing combinations daily. Bright space, friendly & knowledgeable service, eat-in, take out, whatever your pleasure. Once you try, you'll be hooked. I am very happy to have this wonderful family owned & operated sushi resto in Wychwood/Casa Loma/Bathurst & St Clair area. Very welcome addition to our neighbourhood! read more

I would typically expect to pay 3x the price for fish of this quality, making this easily the best sushi in Toronto at this price point.

Just a little hole in the wall, but some of the best sushi and sashimi I've had in years! High quality and fresh ingredients! Presentation, "excellent"! Price very reasonable, service and the friendliness of the staff, professional. I would highly recommend, but again, don't get fooled by the little hole in the wall as it serves top quality food! read more

What a cute and tasty addition to the neighbourhood: I've been to Kiyo a few times and ordered takeout many. The food is always fresh and tasty, the sashimi well sliced, and miso soups always piping hot. The service is always friendly and quick, and I'm always glad to have an excuse to grab something from them on the way home. read more

Finally, a good Japanese restaurant in the hood and better than anything on maki mile in the annex. They have a feature menu that has some tasty dishes, such as spinach with a delish sauce, fresh tuna and specialty rolls. What stood out: service, freshness of the fish, attention to detail Cute, small modern space...supporting a small local business....I'm coming back read more

Dropped by Kiyo with a group 5, we were quickly served, and greeted with warm green tea. The decor of this restaurant is very clean and cute. We ordered the assorted tempura, chicken karaage, lobster taco, Kiyo speciality rolls, spider maki rolls, and dragon rolls. Everything was superb. The ingredients felt so fresh, and the rolls were large and filling. The lobster taco was so unique and is a must order if you are visiting. I can not rave enough about this cute little spot. Its located close to Casa Loma, so if you are ever in the area, you must drop by! I cant wait to go back and the rest of their menu! read more

Great experience!! Cozy place and great quality of food! Service is great, friendly and very welcoming!

Ordered take-out via ritual. Arrived at 7pm tonight (Sunday) to pick up my food and restaurant was full inside. Feel like this is an accurate testament to this restaurants' food quality. Got the sake don (raw salmon on rice) and it was incredibly good. Portion was good with a generous amount of salmon atop of perfectly prepared rice. Made me happy to see this new neighbourhood jaunt so hoppin'!! Think it's gonna thrive here, hopefully for the long haul .. Ritual users FYI: this restaurant takes about 25 minutes to prepare food. I arrived at the 15-20 minute mark and it wasn't ready yet, so I'd say the 25 minute marker is an accurate one. Will update within the next few months once I return and re-order the same dish :) read more

Foods are quite fresh, price is reasonable, two negative comments I've experienced is service is too slow, there were only one table customer, but we had to wait for quite a while. We order the premium chef sushi and sashimi set (2 sets, total $42), they should have at least gave the miso soap and salad but it did not included. Overall it's worth to go if you don't mind yo wait for a bit for the foods. read more

Ordered an appetizer and they gave me soup and salad without asking. Ordered my salmon lover combo and they charged me for soup and salad which should be part of my combo. Tried to ask the lady server about the soup and salad that was added to the bill and stated I ordered it even though I didn't. Very disappointed. Never coming back to this place again. read more

I would highly caution eating at this restaurant. My son and I had all but finished our meal when I noticed something moving in the bamboo container that our edamame was served in. We called the waitress over, and she wouldn't touch the container, she had to get the sushi chef to remove it (taking it to the kitchen nonetheless!) As it was confirmed by our waitress, there were in fact 3 live cockroaches crawling around under our unfinished edamame. We were the only patrons in the restaurant at that point, but they were doing very brisk business with take out and delivery. Hopefully no one else's meal has ended with such a disgusting surprise. read more

Really innovative preparation for a neighbourhood sushi place. Everything is excellent and fresh from the fish to the miso soup. Butterfish handroll is second to none. Highly recommend. read more

New spot in the area! It's about time. There has not been a decent sushi place north of Bloor and close to St Clair in a minute. Kiyo's selection and fare is delicious, fresh and reasonably priced. The interior is clean and spotless and the staff super friendly. Would definitely recommend to neighbors and people looking for incredible and top notch sushi (and those looking to avoid how disappointing the Japanese restaurants on bloor have become). Thank you Kiyo, excited to visit you all the time!!! read more

This place is a hidden gem. We eat out all the time and this place is off the charts!

We ordered takeout from Kiyo and were very happy! Sushi is fresh and delicious, portion sizes are fairly priced and we loved the combo options. I have been waiting for a great sushi place to come into this neighbourhood and this is it! A very welcome upgrade from Kibo. Can't wait to be back! read more

I went to Kiyo on Sunday with my fiancé and we both LOVED it. The quality of the fish really great. Everything was delicious and full of flavour. Nothing is served to you cold and still frozen like some places. Just soft, buttery fish. The service was great - they were attentive and friendly. Extremely glad to have found this place! read more

Super cute sushi place that is reasonably priced and new to the neighbourhood. The restaurant was clean and the decor was cute and quirky with a cat mural on one wall. Even the chopstick holders were adorable! The quality and freshness of the fish was impressive. Definitely try the torched butterfish. It was so good with crispy green onion on top. The chefs plated everything artfully and you can tell they cared about the quality of the food they prepared. The ratio of filling to rice in the rolls was very balanced. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back for more. I'm still dreaming about the butterfish. If you're in the area be sure to give it a try. read more
