The food was great. I had the Teriyaki chicken bento box. It was seasoned very nicely and very tender chicken. The Gyoza was fire dude! So crispy and yummy! The rice was mid but decent. Service was fast and nice. I took my coworkers here and they liked it too! The vibe was nice and chill. But it got busy so it got loud real quick. But for sure will go back! read more

Great service and even better sushi!! We love all the food. Great quality and amazing flavor.

Kelly and family run this hidden gem of a Japanese restaurant. Kelly knows that our favorite take out is the fried rice, loaded with vegetables, shrimp, chicken and lots of rice, plenty to have this evening and also in the morning for breakfast with a fried egg. Yummm The rolls and sashimi are a delicious mouthful of goodness. Try Kiyomi in Syracuse, IN and you will love what this little gem has to offer. read more

Great service and food! We were there around 3:00 in the afternoon, only a couple of tables with customers. However, I was amazed that at that time of day, several people came in to pickup their takeout. That's how you know you have found a good restaurant, especially in a small town! read more

Great service and best sushi in the Syracuse area! Kelly (the owner) always makes all visitors feel welcome and the food is awesome.

Absolutely amazing! The food was very good and service was great! The restaurant was very welcoming!

Great food and service. The menu options boast a nice variety of traditional and specialty items. Owners and staff are friendly and attentive. We enjoy takeout as the actual seating is limited due to the interior size of the restaurant. If you have a large party, reservations are a must. read more

Kiyomi roll is AMAZING!! Prices are very reasonable. A lot of options to choose from. The service is usually pretty decent as well. read more

Kiyomi - Kiyomi Roll - Assorted sushi rolls, gyoza, and dipping sauces are arranged on black and white plates at a Japanese restaurant table. - Japanese Near Me - Syracuse, Indiana

Delicious food! Nicest owner! Great location to grab food and enjoy the town of Syracuse and lake!

Service is always amazing. Food is always perfect. Staff is great. Absolutely no complaints. No matter how busy they are, they always manage to still give you a great experience and fast service. Love it here. read more

Great food and service. Love the rolls and bento box selection. Great sushi place in Syracuse IN.

Kiyomi is difficult to rate. It's a 4 star for a Japanese restaurant in a small town. It's a 3 star when you compare it to a traditional Japanese place. So...for my experience...I give it 3 stars. The facility is nicely put together for a lake restaurant. The tables and chairs are comfortable. The decor is simple...not like you'd expect for a traditional Japanese restaurant. The place is clean. The wait staff was attentive though not very friendly. They just seemed to execute the meal...which they did with a decent speed. We started with the soup and salad that comes with the meal - good value! Soup is soup. The salad dressing didn't have much zing to the taste to make it memorable. We also had the Gyoza and fried vegetables. The Gyoza was good but perhaps over crisped. The fried vegetables were nice. The tempura was just right. The dipping sauce was nothing special. For dinner we had the chicken and New York strip hibachi and a chicken Benito box. The meals really lacked taste. No special taste, flavor or experience. Nothing was done poorly....it's just that nothing was memorable. I would recommend trying this place if you are looking for an alternative meal choice while at the lake. read more

Great food & service. The owner always has a happy disposition & generous smile. She remembers your preferences.

We stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon, sometime around 1:00. We were told we could sit where we wanted and then a little boy brought us our menus. Then another woman(older who didn't speak English came to the table I think to get drunk orders but I asked her a question about the menu and she ran off to the back), then another woman (younger who speaks English) came and took our drink order (I think it's her and her husband that own this place). She answered any questions I had then took out order. One other family was there (also from Warsaw) and I think they were the reason it took us about 20 minutes or more to get our food (they ordered a huge "sushi boat that contains 5 or 6 different types of rolls-of your choosing, and the man in the back was the only one doing the sushi and cooking.) I ordered the Crab Rangoon and it came with 6 of them. Very good, little on the sweet side. I also ordered the bento box with teriaki beef and shrimp and veg tempura(the veggies were mushroom, sweet potatoe slice, broccoli and zucchini I think) and was pleasantly surprised at how tender the beef was- it was a good cut of meat, no fat or grizzle, and came on a bed of steamed vegetables. Their teriyaki sauce is homemade, not the real bold flavor you get from a bottle so it didn't overpower your taste buds. My meal also came with a salad with a delicious creamy ginger dressing and is probably also homemade. It also came with a lovely sweet orange segment. Husband got the Chicken Fried Rice and he said it was definitely better than the rice you get at the Japanese place here in Warsaw. I had leftovers that gave me two more meals even! This is definitely family owned and worth the trip to Syracuse to support. (Wish they would move it here to Warsaw!) read more

Great service and fantastic sushi. Must try the Wawasee role. Best sushi in the area!

Great food and great service! They are happy to explain menu questions if you aren't super familiar. Hidden gem!

This is a small establishment with a big heart! What a wonderful addition to Syracuse. Walking in the door I was warmly greeted by several of the staff. I chose a bento box this time for my meal. So many combinations from which to choose. The food is freshly prepared, with quality ingredients. The serving was enough for two people. It was flavorful AND healthful! It was reasonably priced, too. Carry out or eat-in, you will enjoy your meal. read more

We moved to the area from Chicago and working our way to visiting all the locally owned restaurants in the area. Kiyomi is a secret gem. We didn't think we'd find good sushi in a small Indiana town but we did. We had seaweed salad, sashimi and a few rolls and it was all delicious!! The fish was very fresh and the pieces were very nicely portioned. The waitstaff was a bit slow and not attentive but that won't stop us from visiting Kiyomi again and again! read more

Kiyomi - a variety of sushi on a boat - A large sushi platter features assorted sushi rolls, sashimi, and garnishes, presented on a wooden board with decorative vegetables and sauces. - Japanese Near Me - Syracuse, Indiana

Kiyomi, a little Japanese restaurant situated right on 13 in Syracuse. Easy, conveinant location to get to, and easy parking. I have been to Kiyomi about 5 times at the time of writing. For being in small town Syracuse, it's a solid choice if you are looking for sushi, or hibachi in a homey atmosphere. The owner is very friendly. She is always running about making sure everyone is taken care of. The staff is so so, not great service but not terrible. They do their job. The place is clean and the prices are good. The food, yum! From the sushi to the chicken, or steak hibachi the taste and flavors are very good. The ramen is very good and full of vegetables. It is very spicy so if you don't like spicy foods, ask for half spicy or not at all. I usually get an avocado roll and a sweet potato roll. They are better than I have had at other local restaurants. They taste very fresh. I also get the ramen with only chicken. You can get shrimp in it too. My husband gets the chicken hibachi. The sauce is flavorful and the chicken is tasty. It comes with salad and soup. It also comes with fried rice, and vegetables. All which have been superb each time he has eaten at Kiyomi. The others in our party got the hibachi New York strip steak. SO GOOD and they have cooked them right each time. One gets it cooked medium rare while the other prefers a well done steak. These also come with fried rice and vegetables. In all the food is good. The pricing is good. If you are wanting hibachi or sushi, and in the Syracuse area stop in for lunch or dinner. It is worth your time! read more

Went in on a Friday evening- full house and they still greeted and very attentive. Food was so fresh and delicious! Ordered sushi and the eel sauce was on point. Volcano roll is my new favorite! Definitely recommend this place I normally go to noa noa and think this is comparable but half the price and closer to me. Great friendly service and lively. read more

This is the place for sushi. They have the best hands down. I have had their sushi and it is balanced as well as fresh.

Delicious food. Great service!! Crabmeat Rangoon is so good!! Their Bento boxes are tasty and their ginger dressing is addicting!! As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted like you are a long lost friend!! read more

Both the food - I had the sashimi - and service were excellent! I recently retired nearby and have found the place I will come for great Japanese food. read more

This place is much better than it looks. The service is next level! You will want to go back every day. Food is also top notch but I'm telling you this is the best service you will ever have at a restaurant. Worth the drive. read more

A surprisingly awesome place at "the lake!" Was visiting from Chicago. Truly lovely people run this establishment featuring excellent sushi, bento boxes and tempura! We all loved our carry out and I loved meeting Kelly, the owner. Very very good! read more

I love family own business who take the time to give you great food and great service. read more

New Japanese restaurant in Syracuse. Stopped in for lunch and was very impressed. Nice quiet atmosphere. The sushi bar is a nice touch. It's really neat to watch the chef making sushi. The staff was very courteous and knowledgable. They were very prompt in seating us. I had the sushi and sashimi lunch. The presentation was fantastic. Everything was very fresh. Absolutely wonderful, not what you would expect to find in Syracuse. (Note, the picture I attached is after I already had a couple bites. My excitement got the better of me and I almost forgot to take a picture). My friend had the beef teriyaki and California roll bento box. He was very happy with it. Again great quality and very fresh. The miso soup was very good. Definitely worth a try and I will be returning. Second time in here and I was not nearly as impressed. The sushi was great but the sashimi had been frozen. The sashimi was not nearly as good as the first time in and was still frozen in the middle. I guess I should have seen it coming. Syracuse is too small a town. Still giving 4 stars as the rolls were great. read more

Surprisingly good sushi. We have gone to Warsaw and gotten some pretty "meh" results for sushi. Kiyomi has failed to disappoint yet. They deserve your business. Good flavors. Good quality. read more

This place has it all you could ask for in Asian restaurants except the food is way better. The staff are wonderful too. Coconut Shrimp Sushi read more

The employees are extremely friendly and always have a smile on their face. Best sushi rolls in northern Indiana (also the biggest!). They are very fast as well. read more

I can't believe this little restaurant has such an authentic Japanese menu for Syracuse! What a wonderful surprise and quite an accomplishment. Must be really challenging to run the menu! We ordered three rolls, some hot tea, and fried rice. The rolls were among the best you can get this far from an ocean. The fried rice and tea were standard Asian fare. 5 stars for the incredible effort needed to pull this off in a small town! You gotta check them out if you're around! read more

Awesome food! Usually not a big fan of Japanese but the waitresses recommended something and it was absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend!!!

First time here, had the hibachi chicken and really enjoyed it. Nice menu selection and reasonably priced. Very clean and friendly. read more

Kiyomi - Japanese Near Me - Syracuse, Indiana

They are short handed because of lack of labor force in the area. However, the food and service was still Excellent. The fish is fresh and delicious. The seaweed wraps are great here, no need for soy paper, because they don't taste like the Elkhart river like those at other establishments may. I had the spicy Maki Combo and my wife had the Dynamite roll...both were perfect. Beer selection is Good and affordable. I have not tried the Saki, but they have a decent list of those available. Again, this place is good, run by great people, and clean to boot! read more

Really good just a little thing but very important when you eat sushi, sushi rice and fish most be cold most the time is room temperature I think cold will makes a perfect sushi read more

I am not a big fan of sushi or Japanese cuisine in general. This place however was top notch. Service was excellent, prompt & friendly. The food tasted excellent and the presentation of the sushi was a work of art. They don't serve alcohol but that is not a deal breaker for me considering how good the food, service, & atmosphere is here. I got gyoza (dumplings), avocado roll, and the hibachi chicken. Generous portions and the hibachi chicken dinner came with rice (choice of white or fried), miso soup, and a salad (dressing was excellent). Needless to say I over ordered and had a to go box to have a delicious lunch the next day. read more

My husband and I love this place. I took him there on a recommendation of my friend and when we pulled up, he wasn't thrilled about the curb appeal but I told him to give it a chance. I'm glad he did because we both fell in love with it. The owner is amazing and remembers faces and will great you every time you come in. The food is amazing. Favorite sushi place around read more

Traveling south seeing friends on a change of scenery tour and I had a free night to grab some dinner while my friend was otherwise occupied. I found this restaurant through Yelp and I could not be more pleased with the result! The vegetable tempura was delicious as was the sushi and specialty roles. Local gem!! Lucky you Syracuse!! read more
