I honestly don't know how they do it. The sushi chefs at Kyo are performing literal wizardry back there. Every bite is consistently insane. At one point my mouth was doing things I probably shouldn't describe in a public review. We did order for delivery, which disappointed us because it never showed up. BUT, i called the restaurant and it was ready for pick up. They quickly resolved that i had paid online and i was good to go at pick up. Easy peasy and with a smile. Okay, let's talk food! I will start with, the fish is impossibly fresh, the rolls are balanced perfectly, and every single piece feels like it was crafted with obsessive attention. No throwaway bites. No filler. Just straight-up sushi perfection. Here's the real kicker: we live part-time in Kauai, a place that technically has a slight advantage when it comes to seafood given its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, and Kyo still wins our hearts when it comes to sushi. That's saying something. So if you're looking for perfection in every bite, grab your person and get your ass over to Kyo. You will not be disappointed. Also, how cute are these sushi plates from my mom?! Mahalo Mom! read more

** If you go to Kyo only use cash, and never trust them with your card. Only written a few reviews on Yelp in the last couple years, mainly because I understand every place has good and bad nights. However the treatment at Kyo Sushi last Friday was so bad I will be dealing with it for days to come while my bank sorts out all of the attempted charges. It seems in general the quality of service has declined at several local restaurants over the last few months, but Kyo went above, and beyond in bad service. The food was decent, but a problem happened with the payment. Apparently internet stopped working when they swiped my card, and looks like they tried to swipe it several times. Anyways enough for my bank to block the credit card due to suspected fraud. So the server comes back to the table, and tells me to pay in cash. Ok, so go to ATM, and find out my card has been blocked. She asks me for another card, and says if they overcharged the first one not to worry I can come back another day for a refund. At this point I don't want to give them another card to experiment with so they pass me a Venmo app for the nail salon next door. I decide to use my Cash App to try and pay it, but not surprisingly Cash App declines, and suspects fraud. So now I have two cards blocked, and the manager is looking at me on how am I going to fix this, and get her the money owed. Asks if any one in my party wants to give up their card to see if it works. They do not want to let us leave, but obviously the card reader and Venmo is not working. I finally grab the receipt, drive down to the bank pull cash out with my wife's card, and pay them. However my bank says there is now a hold on my account for at least 72 hours, and a new card will have to be issued to me because they suspect fraudulent charges. The bank recommended transferring all money out of the account until further notice. This could have been avoided had the restaurant not tried to swipe my card 10 times, and accepted the internet was down on their part. The worst part is this happened to several customers, but at no time did the restaurant tell new customers they could only accept cash. Have been to Kyo probably 30-40 times in the last two years since we moved to Urbana. We have been there enough the workers know our faces, but could not trust us to drive to a bank and pull money out to pay them. I really Kyo before, but will never return now. Thankfully Urbana is getting a new Sushi restaurant near Giant soon. read more

I have never tried Susui TarTar, and honestly, I don't know why. I suspect I was a little afraid. But last night, we wandered, and so did my stomach. The result was that I finally had Tuna Tartare. Um, why had I waited? Phenominal Really great food overall. Good Sushi is a fantastic experience. I enjoyed the Tuna Tartare. We also got Gyoza, and that was also fantastic. The Salmon rolls were pronounced perfect . Overall epic food. Great menu and really lots of things I want to try. They are on our places we are visiting again list! read more

YUM!! Finally tried this place and couldn't recommend more! Love the fish to rice ratio and the pickup order was ready earlier than anticipated. Also, there was an offer for 10% off on their official website. The presentation for a pickup order is so cute I can only imagine how nice the plating is for a sit down meal. I'll definitely order from here again! read more

My wife and I dined at Kyo Sushi last Friday to celebrate my birthday. Our longtime go-to spot for sushi used to be Yoyogi in Kentlands, but since they no longer offer dine-in, we've been on the lookout for a new favorite. For me, sushi just isn't the same as takeout. It's an experience best enjoyed fresh at the table. We started with the takoyaki for an appetizer, which came out hot and crisp with a nice savory flavor. For my main, I went with a sashimi platter, paired with a cold beer. It was fresh, clean, and exactly what I was hoping for. Tooey ordered the tempura maki combo, which had a good balance of crunch and flavor. Overall, the meal was enjoyable, and Kyo Sushi might just be a solid replacement for our old favorite. read more

I am so disappointed about the customer service in this place. I used to go there every week and expense money there but they treat you as nobody and even they care that you are a frequently customer. S sorry for this comment but I am so disappointed. read more

Kyo Sushi provides a welcome sushi option to the Urbana + Mt. Airy area, serving up an extensive menu with options for all diners. I ordered a sushi-forward meal for carry out, which was ready in about 30min and handed to me as soon as I entered. While I didn't dine in, the staff was welcoming and friendly for the brief minute that was inside. I did find that I needed to order several vegetarian rolls to build a meal given the 6-piece side. he vegetable roll had a great combination of elements for the filling--avocado, cucumber, asparagus and pickled radish. The sushi tasted fresh overall, but comparatively, not the freshest that I've had. The sweet potato roll had a welcome tempura crunch and the sticky sweet topping paired nicely with a dash of soy sauce umami. A side order of edamame completed a solid vegetarian dinner. read more

Their Sushi is excellent! They have great service. Everyone has a smile on their face making you feel welcome. One of our go to places.

I've love Kyo since they opened. I've been a loyal customer. I've ordered several times and had no problems. However today we ordered and while waiting door dash texts us and said that kyo lost our order. When I called kyo they said that door dash was angry because they had to wait and then text us that kyo lost our order. Door dash is absolutely a bunch of instigators and trouble stirrers. We love kyo but door dash is awful. . read more

Friendly staff . Food is always fresh and delicious. Usually get take out for dinner and sit in during lunch.

Absolutely love kyo!! They have boba tea, delicious rolls, garlic edamame, and fast service. I love that is a comfortable enough environment to bring my kids and not feel bad for them to be a little loud, and the food is just outstanding. read more

Cute little sushi spot. Have consistently eaten the lunch special deal and it is always very tasty. They always ensure I have enough ginger and it is decently economical. Def recommend for lunch special. read more

I am extremely picky about the freshness of my sushi and this did not disappoint. Me and my daughters finished it all before I even took any pictures. We had the Alaska roll, red snapper, California roll, and shrimp tempura. I also ordered the white tuna tempura, but they forgot to put it in my bag. The sushi was so good, that I wasn't too upset that it was missing. It was all extremely fresh and I must have salmon that melts in your mouth and it did just that. I intend to have lunch again here tomorrow. 10 stars!! (Even with part of my order missing lol) read more

Grabbed takeout from here and was trying it for the first time! This sushi place is a hidden gem in Urbana. I enjoyed an order of Haru Maki (vegetarian spring roll) to start which was delicious and crispy! I also had the miso soup which was pretty typical but came nice and piping hot. For sushi I had the sweet potato roll and crunch roll. They were both a good portion size with a nice flavor and texture! The crunch roll--made of shrimp tempura, avocado and eel sauce-- was presented nicely even in a takeout box! My only criticism is that the crunch tobiko topping the roll was a bit stale tasting. I read other reviews that praised their soy sauce and they were right! There is something different about Kyo's soy sauce... it's not just your typical soy sauce it's a little bit more tangy! Yum! It's so good! The order and pick up process was absolutely seamless! I was able to easily order online and they text you when it's ready and as soon as you walk in the door they hand you your order--super convenient! I will definitely be back to try something else off the menu! read more

Whenever I go to Frederick I have to stop by here. They have the freshest food. Got a poke bowl today and it was amazing. 5/5 in my book!

Can't tell you how happy I am that we found this place! The sushi is always on the spot, I love it. They do a great job. My wife isn't a fan of sushi, but they have her covered with a hibachi and Chinese food menu. Their specialty rolls are as good as you'd find in Hawaii, New York, wherever. Top notch! read more

Was near Sugarloaf Mountain Sunday evening. My gf loves sushi, so I did a search and found Kit Sushi about 15 minutes away. I would highly recommend the restaurant. We knew we were in the right place when all the conversations between the staff were in Japanese. They have a very large menu. My gf ordered the Spicy Miki Combo. While it is an upcharge, she was allowed to substitute brown rice for white rice in the roll. I am not a fan of sushi, so I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken. It was very good and the portion size was so large, I took half of it home for a second meal. Lastly, the service was excellent. read more

I was driving home from a long road trip with my mom and we were craving sushi. Luckily, this was the only sushi place that was open off of 70. We decided to get a spicy tuna roll, california, philadelphia, salmon avocado, salmon nigiri, and TnT roll. The pickup process was easy and seamless. Although, it wasn't the best sushi I've ever had for the price and the service it was pretty good. read more

I wasn't expecting much. It's in a new area with a good amount of parking. Inside is clean. The part that irked me during the whole experience was that there was no music and I think they we're eating dinner. So we kind of had a weird experience overall. How's the food? The sashimi was well prepared. Nice thickness and bounce without the fishy smell. That's a good thing so I felt confident that it was prepared well and that the ingredients they used were fresh. I just wished there was more to this place. It is rather small and not a lot of options nearby. For a place in a new section, I would be curious if they can get creative and make something that would make me want to go back. Rather at the moment, it is more of a safe choice if you are craving sushi and you need to eat in this area. read more

The best Sushi place in the Frederick area, I go here twice a month at least and everything is always amazing. The fish is always fresh and the rolls are a good size.

I ordered the Volcano roll, Philadelphia roll and Chicken Katsu for carry out today and everything was delicious. Kyo is only offering carry out at this time so you can park at the front entrance and then pick up your order. The sushi is always fresh , which is a plus! They are definitely practicing social distancing by having a plexiglass at the front entrance to pay. However if you decide to dine on site, there are a few tables outside for outdoor dining. read more

I found this place on Yelp while staying at Frederick overnight before visiting a customer site the next day. The restaurant is located in a residential area, I almost drove past it on a rainy night if not alerted by GPS that I had reach my destination. I ordered the Sashimi Deluxe, which is a chef's choice on the fish selection. It comes with either soup or salad. I chose Miso soup and it was nothing special. Need a little bit more tofu cubes though. The sashimi presentation was awesome (see photo). It came with Ahi Tuna, Super White Tuna, Salmon, Res Snapper and Yellow Fin. They tasted really fresh with great texture. It was enjoyable having this feast. I had to ask the chef for wasabi and ginger since I finished them quickly half way through the meal. They are yummy. read more

We used to eat at Lazy Fish almost weekly, but when Covid hit, we ended up giving Kyo Sushi another try (when it first opened we didn't overly like it). Needless to say, we don't make the trip into downtown anymore to eat at Lazy Fish, or do takeout. Kyo Sushi is much better in my opinion than LF. The fish tastes better, and the rice that is used, along with the quality of items like Avocado seems to be much higher. We do takeout here almost every week, and love it! read more

These guys really stepped it up lately. I wasn't a fan 3 years ago, but I'm glad we tried it again. The simple rolls are much improved, the rice and fish are both consistently great. My wife gets the fancy rolls and she also likes them a lot now. I'm not sure if there's a new chef or a new supplier, but they really stepped up their game! read more

I'm so happy I found this place! They have a huge menu with great special sushi rolls. I love their Maryland roll and I usually also get a deluxe California roll. Recently, I tried their sesame chicken bowl, which unfortunately wasn't very good. The chicken was hard/dry and the sauce didn't taste like sesame chicken. I'll be back for the sushi 100%! read more

On a rainy day, we went to our local Sushi place and what a surprise! Setting was clean and light. Service was excellent without being intrusive. I was really impressed with the quality of the food we ordered. First, Ocean Roll was superb with wonderful taste and the rice texture was perfect. Bento Box with Chicken Teriyaki was amazing. It was very flavorful and Gyoza that came with the lunch was excellent as well. I had no idea this place served such high quality food. My compliment to the Chef! I hope to return again and try different offerings. read more

A really good bang for your buck ! Chicken tempura is my go to and I love it every time. Also this might sound weird but the best part about Kyo is their soy sauce, that may make it seem like their food is bad but trust me they make really good food, however, their soy sauce is out of this world read more

Checked out this new place on a Saturday afternoon, and it was pretty good! But first, logistics. The place is located pretty close off the highway, and there's street parking or parking lot in the back. There are a few places you can hit up around the area (notably ice cream place!) with outdoor hang out area. Plenty of parking. Restaurant itself (and other stores around it) look like they were houses remodelled for commercial use. It's not a huge place but we were comfortably seated. The interior looked pretty new, and everything looked clean. Service was pretty quick, and our server came soon after we were seated. She was friendly and the place was quite inviting. Their menu was pretty large, and offered items like donburi, poke bowls, fried rice, and a few other Asian items (ex general tso's). I was happily surprised that their lunch special was still available on Saturdays, and got their three roll special. It came with miso soup and salad, and I got the Alaska roll, eel avocado roll, and tuna avocado roll. The miso soup tasted watered down, which was unfortunate because I love miso soup. The salad was ok, but instead of using a ginger carrot dressing most Japanese places use, it tasted more like thousand island. The rolls were pretty good, and tasted fresh. The ginger that came with it didn't seem too fresh, and I was surprised to see a little maraschino cherry. read more
