We are now regulars of Kyo Sushi, and not least because of their careful considerations of COVID safety measures throughout the pandemic. But to the point: The sushi is wonderfully fresh and tasty. The dragon roll is also nicely spiced and delicious. We have tried the udon noodles, Yaki soba, and hibachi and all is good quality. An unusual but surprisingly good choice is the Chicken Katsu (or, as the Germans call it, schnitzel!). If you want your sushi fix and need to satisfy a finicky kiddo, go here and order the chicken katsu for your kid while you enjoy the sushi. 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

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

This is actually a solid 4.5 stars. It opened a few weeks ago right on 355 in Urbana in a new little center next to the old, torn down elementary school. You can do curbside parking out front, or go around back and there is a parking lot there. The restaurant is light and modern, with booths, tables and bar seating. It is a small restaurant, so if you have a large group (say bigger than 4 or 5), I'd call ahead on a busy day. When we went, Saturday around 4pm, it was not crowded. When we left, it was filling up. The food is all very fresh and beautifully presented. They have a large menu with many sushi choices, as well as teriyaki, soups, noodle dishes, fried rice, sushi boats, etc. It took me awhile to decide what to order, given the selection. We were a party of 5 and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the miso and sushi deluxe dinner and thought it was delicious. I liked that the fish selected were all something I enjoy (I hate when you order a deluxe and get at least one fish with suction cups lol). The table had a variety of rolls, as well as fried rice and everyone enjoyed their selection. I didn't realize they weren't on yelp yet, so next time I'm there I'll add photos of the outside and seating, etc. While sushi is usually expensive, I felt like their prices were reasonable for what you got. I did not have sticker shock at the bill. We'll definitely go again. read more

They are only doing pick up due to covid, but I called ahead and it was ready in time! We opted for the lunch special which was pretty good in price for 3 rolls and a soup or salad. Fish seemed fresh and well presented. Good for sushi in Frederick there aren't that many in the area! read more

I rated this place 5 stars about 8 months ago I was a very frequent customer because I live here in Urbana, (I even recommend it to a lot of people who started going here and brought them business) then I stopped coming because the shrimp was undercooked one time & I decided it give it a break. Few months later I call to place an order on my way home and the younger lady who is usually working in the front has a nasty attitude with me and says I need to pay upfront for a 6$ California roll because a friend of mine who I came with before ordered something and didn't show up (I honestly haven't even spoke to that girl in a few months) so I explained to her that we are 2 different people and I don't have anything to do with her and I live about 2 minutes away from there and I'm almost home driving but she needs me to read my card number to her first or they will make it when I get there after I pay. I'm already in a rush so I decide to pull out my card and read her the card numbers while driving! Cause I'd rather not wait. The whole encounter kind of ruined my appetite so I picked it up and ended up getting something else instead I do not recommend this place if you want a pleasant customer service experience. Specially don't get the shrimp. The California roll is good but that's about it.. read more

VEGETARIANS: SOOOO MANY OPTIONS HERE. Best Salt and Pepper Tofu I have ever had. General Tso Tofu also Sooooo good. Both are cooked a little crispy which is exactly how I like it. Also love the veggie hibachi. Worth the drive to Urbana!!!! Never disappointed here. read more

First time trying Kyo out and loved it. Great food, lovely little spot, super happy I found this. needed a new sushi place!

Excellent sushi and great service. This Urbana restaurant is exceptional. I highly recommend them.

Due to the limited number of places to eat in Urbana this is one of the better choices for their kind. The location is great, plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is cute....a little small but they are managing the traffic pretty well. When they first opened, the food was always fresh, etc. Now things are not the same. I'd say I've ordered takeout twice and I've had hair in my food. The food taste very different. My brown rice was very mushy once. Not too impressed. My sushi just seemed like they just rolled something together. It's a little disappointing! I'll be taking a break from this place for awhile. Don't let a good place lose its touch! They need to tighten up. Management did rectify the situation. read more

OMG!!OMG! I wish this was somehow on my way home or to work or somehow I passed this amazing gem of a place every single day. Sadly I don't. But I sure am glad I stopped by after my offsprings tennis match at UHS. I loved the miso soup. Truly truly fell in love with the melt in your mouth shrimp shumai. The best was the Hawaiian rolls. So so good. It filled us well and the clean taste and flavors were beyond expectation. I wish they would open one in Fredrick. read more

First time picking up from Kyo. I ordered the "sushi regular". I asked about the sushi in the order and said I don't like sashimi. They said the sushi was chef's choice. Fine, I'll try some new rolls. Sadly, it was all nigiri which is basically sashimi over rice. Very disappointed. read more

Excellent! We had no idea a sushi place was coming to Urbana so I can't even describe how happy we were that they decided to move in just around the corner from our office. It's a 1000 times better that it's so freaking delicious, too. The staff is super nice, the restaurant is cute and the food is legit. So far we've had a bento box, sushi rolls, both dumplings on menu, haru maki and the dragon balls. All awesome. Can't wait to try more. read more

Delicious every time‼. Everything thing is always so fresh and packed very well. Staff is super friendly. I take out mostly but very nice ambiance for dining in. read more

For a sushi joint in Frederick it's the best one I've been to. Had summer rolls, chirashi (no white tuna), green tea, miso soup and salad. Everything was excellent. The salad drressing was delicious and different enough from most sushi places to be refreshing. The miso was on point. Green tea was on point. Loved their different take on a summer roll. Really unique and very good! The chirashi was excellent with an interesting and nice selection of cold fresh fish. Restaurant and restrooms were clEan and smelled nice. Great spot! read more

Small but great addition to Urbana! Went with some girlfriends and we all got the same thing, the spicy maki combo. It was the best value and delicious, it was three spicy rolls with miso soup or a salad. The lunch deals looked like really good deals if you are in the area and looking for a quick lunch. The service was great and lots of people were coming in to pick up their online togo orders, very popular for a Tuesday night. The new commons area over there is so cute, tiny but cute! I will go back because they had so much more stuff on their menu I wanted to try. read more

We ordered the large Kyo Boat. It was delicious, fresh and prepared per our request. Almost finished it off with three persons- approx 160 pieces of sashimi, nigiri and maki sushi! It was ready exactly on time and the price was decent. Pickup arrangements were easy. May have to do it again soon. read more

I ordered 3 rolls for lunch takeout, and the quality is pretty good for what urbana has to offer. The place looks small but kinda cozy and where the chefs make sushi is nice and open. Their miso soup is soso and sushi pieces are a little small. Idk how much they season their rice either. But at least they dont roll them with a thick amount of rice to compensate. They were also made very quickly; i ordered online, drove 5 minutes and they were ready for me. They could also make the spicy pieces spicier, but im not rly surprised due to the neighborhood haha The best thing though was that the raw fish tasted fresh. No fishy taste at all, which is what i look for. Salmon in the salmon avocado roll was wonderfully fatty. i also love eel and theirs didnt have any of the little bones in the pieces i had . Something small I also enjoyed was that for takeout, they put the soy sauce in a little cup with a lid instead of throwing in soy sauce packets. I hate how messy those packets get, so the cups were a nice touch! read more

Fantastic sushi!! Wonderful staff! Consistently delicious. Run don't walk if you're looking for a good sushi spot in the area!

We wanted to get to here before covid but alas this didnt happen. This our new local spot since moving out of Baltimore for sushi. They are well priced and have rolls and charashi sushi that we typically get from the other places we use to frequent. The boy likes his charashi and a spicy tuna or salmon roll and i'm a fan of age tofu. Since age tofu is deep friend silken tofu this doesnt translate into take out all that well.. they will do it but the tofu isnt crisp like you would expect if it came piping hot out of the fryer onto a plate. The one thing that Sushi Sono (in columbia) and Sushi Hana (Towson/Baltimore) have is that they put bonito flakes ontop of the tofu just to add a little bit of smokiness which I like. The Charashi has come pretty good each time we've gotten it. The seasoned rice is seasoned nicely though I think I like Sushi Sono's the best. The raw fish is pretty good though Kyo seems to like to put mackerel on their charashi, normal yes but not my favorite as its really fishy. The boy however gobbles these down so I have to assume that its good. They have been pretty solid since Covid. The staff is behind a plexiglass wall and there is no going "into" the restaurant. You basically order either from home (phone, internet) or in person (through the plexiglass) and they tell you how long it will take and they stick a small clipboard out for you to sign. The staff behind the plexiglass are all wearing masks and each pen is wiped down after you are done with it. read more

CLEAN. Clean food, clean eating areas, and clean BATHROOMS. I often feel a good judge of a restaurant is how clean their bathroom is, and the bathrooms at Kyo were spotless. The greeters and waitresses were all extremely pleasant and sweet, and the food was some of the best Japanese food I've had in all of Maryland. read more

I usually get the bento box lunch special here and it's sooooo good. Their tempura is on point and the sushi is good, as well as their miso soup and their fried rice. I only wish it was available for dinner, too! read more

The best sushi around!! If you haven't tried this place yet, you are missing a treat.

Love this place and happy to have a restaurant like this close by. Their veggie fried rice is delicious and I also usually get their spicy Cali rolls and shrimp tempura and they are consistently good. We really enjoy their hibachi as well. read more

Disappointed. The take out only setup is not ideal,. Customer service ehh, wall is a bit much: won't be back

My husband and I stopped by here last week to try it out. We didn't realize it's carry-out only but because the reviews were so positive we figured we'd go ahead and order a few things. The cashier helped us choose a couple rolls that would be safe for me to eat since I'm pregnant and everything we ordered was SO good! Even a basic shrimp tempura roll was way better than I expected. We'll definitely be going back try out other menu items, especially once this baby is born and I can eat some real sushi! read more

Kyo sushi is incredible. All fresh fish, excellent poke bowls and hibachi plates. Great combinations for the speciality rolls. The place is clean and welcoming. The staff is delightful and always kind. This place is a must visit for sushi lovers! read more

Great place for quality sushi especially if you just climbed the local mountains. Great selections, highly recommend at least checking it out. read more

Ran across this place while out on a drive and thought we'd take a chance. Easy parking. The place felt a tad sterile (maybe because of the mostly gray interior, which seems to be everywhere these days), and the lighting wasn't particularly warm. The smell of air freshener was a little overwhelming when you first walk in. The food, fortunately, was quite good. The wrappers on the pan-fried gyoza were tender but nicely crisped, the filing well seasoned. The sauce for the gyoza (soy sauce based?) was salty and sweet, slightly sticky. Edamame was hot and lightly salted. We shared the poke bowl #2 -- salmon, tuna, snapper(?) and vegetables with jalepeno interspersed throughout. The fish was extremely fresh and the sauce pulled it all together well. Also ordered a sushi roll with tempura shrimp, lobster, and avocado. It was a bit bland but the fish was fresh and the rolls were substantial. All in all, a good find. Glad we stopped in! I would come back for the poke bowl and would try some other rolls. read more

Done only take-outs from Kyo Sushi and it's always been reliably good food. Recommend poke bowls and sushi.

I'm so happy that finally urbana has a decent sushi place. Very fresh, very tasty, very friendly. I went several times, every time is happy experience, great food. I love their treasure island, every time I would order it, onion soup and hibachi dishes are my son's favorite. Would definitely visit as often as I can. read more
