Hands down some of the best sushi I've had in the area. I've tried so many sushi spots around Redlands and Kyo has quickly become one of my favorites. The quality of the fish is what really stands out. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and they have such a good selection beyond just the typical rolls. The yellowtail and salmon belly are amazing, and the sashimi is always beautifully presented. The yellowtail carpaccio is also a must if you like something a little lighter to start. I also really appreciate that they have more traditional Japanese options like agedashi tofu, takoyaki, karaage, aji and ama ebi. It feels like one of the more authentic Japanese sushi experiences I've found around here while still having plenty of specialty rolls for people who prefer those. The staff is always so friendly and attentive, portions are generous, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality you're getting. It's a smaller, unassuming place, but honestly those are usually the best ones. Definitely my new go-to for sushi in Redlands. If you're looking for fresh, quality sushi without all the gimmicks, this is the place. read more

Kyo Sushi was okay. I may have gone in with higher expectations because of the 4.7 rating on Yelp, but overall it felt a little overhyped. The roll presentation was very good, and visually the food looked great. The plates came out clean, colorful, and nicely arranged. Flavor-wise though, the rolls were fairly bland. The house mayo tasted like regular mayo, which isn't necessarily bad, but I guess I was expecting something with a little more going on, maybe closer to a spicy mayo or some kind of signature sauce. We also ordered a Philly roll, but were brought the Philly "Pro" instead. The Pro is deep fried, which I wasn't expecting, and I took a bite without realizing how hot it was and almost burned my mouth. I did mention that "Philly roll" and "Philly Pro" are close enough in name that I could see wrong orders happening pretty easily. Service was direct and decent. Nothing bad, just more to-the-point than warm or memorable. I'd probably give this place another shot, because it seemed like we may have gotten caught in a rush all at once. Not terrible by any means, and the presentation was definitely a strong point, but it wasn't quite the standout experience I was expecting. read more

I stumbled upon this place on Yelp while visiting the Umbrella Alley in Redlands. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I was so pleasantly surprised! The interior was very cute and clean. The wallpaper was very nicely done and authentic. The lunch was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the server was so kind and welcoming. It made my day so much better. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely be coming back. Such a satisfying and happy find! Loved this place. read more

Kyo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Redlands, California

Yesterday, Saturday, May 9th, I went to Redlands with my family, and we had lunch at Kyo Sushi. We had gone to Redlands because we heard there was a pretty spot with beautiful umbrellas, and we wanted to check it out. But then my mom suddenly got really hungry, so we looked for a nearby place to have lunch. My brother found this restaurant and said it had high Yelp ratings, and since my mom likes sushi, he suggested this place and we tried it. We ordered the lunch specials: three sushi combos and one sushi & sashimi combo. All of the combos came with miso soup and california rolls. All of the sushi here was really delicious, and the California rolls that came with the sushi were also very tasty. The wasabi was shaped like a flower, which looked very pretty and was a nice touch. The staff were also very friendly and kind. The cucumber pickles and ginger were extremely fresh and delicious as well. Everything we had was tasty, and the service was friendly, so I really liked this Japanese restaurant. If it were closer to home, this would definitely be a place I would come to often. FYI: My brother asked whether the owner of this restaurant was Korean, but we were told the owner is Chinese. read more

This spot is an honest 4.5 for me. And it honestly came down to the salmon sushi. I know what true buttery salmon is like and unfortunately it just missed the mark. That being said, edamame is great. We got the spicy garlic. Perfectly balanced for both of those flavor profiles. I really enjoyed the calamari! Not at all chewy and that was my biggest worry when ordering. Reminiscent of an onion ring, but nonetheless I really enjoyed it. Now the service is what really brings it together. Such kind, gentle servers that genuinely care about your experience. Small place and they have been known to sell out! read more

It was my first time to Kyo Sushi it did not disappoint. I arrived a few minutes after it opened for the day and it was already getting busy. The service of the staff was friendly and welcoming. I ordered 4 rolls & 4 pieces of sushi. 2 appetizers! The garlic edamame & Baked mussels were my fave!! All were delicious and the portions of the sushi were generous. Overall I rate our experience a high one and recommend this place if you're ever in the Redlands area! read more

This is a sushi spot located near Redlands Downtown. Sushi wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. Just okay. I'd only be back if I was in the area and wanting sushi, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. They have a wide selection of rolls. read more

Still amazing service & food. Honestly, I love coming here & we don't really go anywhere else now. Everything from the service, ambience, & food. It's all amazing. I just wish they were bigger because the dining area is small, but maybe that's why they're so good! We even ordered sushi to take home for like a party, & even all that was still amazing, especially for price. We honestly have tried everything on the menu at this point so I can't give specifics. I will saw though my favorite is the Kyo roll itself over course, & scallop hand rolls. Hubby always gets baked rolls and recently he has been getting the cowboy roll & he loves it. read more

I remember coming into this place Jan of 2025. They were new, friendly, but frankly half empty on a Friday night. I sensed something exciting was going to happen -- but relying entirely on word of mouth. Flash-forward to early 2026, where readers of the local weekly paper named this the Best Sushi of Redlands. I was so excited, and as my visit last week demonstrates -- things have only improved. KYO SUSHI was packed at 5PM on a Tuesday. Not only slammed, but standing room only. I don't know what happened but I'm so happy for them. Two subtle changes have happened and I'm all for them. A LOCAL NEWS channel sharing dreadful stories on the TV has been swapped for hi-def reels of lovely Asian spots, making our escape from the crazy world we live in complete. As an extra touch, we are now treated to soothing jazz, which helps in a room with so many happy customers. A special shout out to Sia, who greets regulars like family and will help you get exactly what you need. Hi to Wendy and the new young lady, all keeping a close eye on customer happiness. I believe KYO is on the brink of having outgrown this location, but a lease is likely keeping them there for a while. It's a shame they can't move next door into the old Von's location -- lol -- because what a place that would be. Enough room in their to farm the fish. Pro Tip -- try the Megan Fox roll! read more

Awesome Sushi!! A lot of sushi places popping up, but not all of them have the trifecta: 1) clean restaurant 2) great taste/selection 3) large portions. This place has it all. Although a little small inside...you leave full! SERVICE: Seems like a family run restaurant. Very friendly people. You might have a wait because of limited seating. Also, limited staff, but the food is worth the wait. FOOD: Super fresh and tasty. My new favorite place. My daughter and I came here and wanted to try a few, and figured we could try 3 rolls since most places serve you smaller rolls nowadays. Well, as you can see - these rolls are HUGE. We had the Aloha crunchy, Redlands, and the Shooting Star. (Shooting Star was our favorite). Needless to say we had a lot leftover. So come hungry or come with a few friends! read more

I can't believe that this place is so close to me! Great quality fish, generous portions, and amazing service. The place is very intimate, with small tables. Be mindful of that when you're ordering multiple rolls. We had to rearrange the items on the table quite frequently, but I personally am willing to overlook the inconvenience when I know the food is amazing. We were taken care of by Austin who recommended us great rolls. Our favorites were the moon river and galaxy roll. Worthy mention was the bento. So many combo options and it comes with a lot of food--such a great deal. I'll come back again! read more

I have enjoyed coming here over the year. The staff is friendly and very attentive. They make great recommendations on rolls too if you're not sure what you want. We love the shishito pepper appetizer. It's the perfect amount of spice! My husband likes to pick a different roll each time and he's loved each one. I like to get the bento box. The sushi here is of good quality, and everything tastes fresh. The dining area is small, but well kept and clean. Each time we have gone, there's been plenty of people there, but not overwhelmingly packed. If you're looking for some good sushi in the area, I would recommend! read more

Some friends recommended this sushi place - its fairly under new management. Since this is our first time so we usually asked the staff what would they recommend or their favorite. So we ordered Fantasy roll, Washington (street, State or DC?) J/K and the no rice Moon River. Let me just say I think those are the 3 best we've ever had. They are fresh, refreshing and the combination they have in the roll are complemented each other well. The presentation of each rolls are very nicely done aesthetically. Just so well presented with a touch of the orchids piece makes it so elegant. Staff are so friendly, nice and kind and their recommendations is very good one. Attentive and polite. Parking is not a problem. read more

Small and cozy sushi spot with a great selection of rolls and lunch specials to choose from! Kind and welcoming service, even at a busy lunch hour. My boyfriend and I stopped by while on a road trip, and left with our sushi cravings fully satisfied. We ordered one lunch special (choice of 2 basic rolls, we chose salmon and eel), and a Redlands roll. Loved everything! Fish was fresh, flavors were on point, and the quality of the rice was also pretty good. Overall, definitely worth the money. Check this place out! read more

Convenient location with seating for parties of 4 or less. I got the Two Roll Special w/ Miso - $14.95. Great price. The service was friendly. However, it was a moderately long wait for my food even. The ambiance is pleasant with minimal/moderate noise level. Great for visiting with friends. The flavor was missing with my orders. Would give this place another try. I loved the miso soup. My Salmon Skin Roll was a little bitter. Spicy Salmon Roll: 3/5 Salmon Skin Roll: 3/5 Miso Soup: 4.5/5 read more

I didn't have a lot of time, as I was on a supply run before the snow storms. I wanted a light lunch and hoped to lean towards healthy / less expensive. I pulled up Yelp to guide me on my side quest. As always, it did not fail. Kyo Sushi was full of happy diners, and smiling staff. It felt quite welcoming, looked very clean and smelled delicious. I sat in a corner booth & selected their lunch sashimi bento box. It ticked all the needed boxes. Warm miso soup, pickled cucumbers, fresh salad, hearty slabs of raw fish, a California roll and staple of warm, white rice (added bonus of 2 fried goyza) It was perfectly balanced for what I was looking for. The staff was attentive without being overwhelming and gave me a rose as I left. I would definitely recommend as a quick, delicious option in the Redlands area read more

After going back and forth on where to eat, we decided to try this place and I'm glad we did! They don't offer AYCE, but the quality definitely makes up for it. We walked in around 6pm on a Friday with no reservation and waited about 30 minutes. The restaurant is small but really cute and cozy. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. We ordered a few appetizers that were good, but the real highlight was the rolls. Some of the best I've had in a long time super fresh and packed with flavor. I'd definitely come back for dinner or even just a quick roll for lunch. You can tell they have a lot of regulars, which always says a lot about a place! read more

The rolls were generous and very filling, and everything tasted fresh. These two rolls made me and my boyfriend so full. Remember not to over order, we were stuffed.

We also ordered the edamame and it was sweet and savory (not spicy at all) Overall a great experience with great service. read more

Kyo Sushi - hair on plate - Sushi Bars Near Me - Redlands, California

Food preparation was excellent. Very clean restaurant, generous portions.outstanding fast service.

The sushi was ok. We did not wait long for the order to arrive. Small restaurant so there is not a lot of seating. Be prepared to wait and it's not good for families with small children. Sushi is not bite size. Size of the sushi did not match the size of the dipping bowls. Wasabi and ginger should be available at each table instead of asking for it. The servers are busy enough. Ambience wise, it' was too loud. Between the music, kitchen, staff and crowd noise I can barely hear myself talk. It was an OK first and only experience. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Small casual ambiance. One server and two sushi chefs behind the counter. Read a Yelp review comparing Kyo Sushi to Niko Niko, both in Redlands. We ordered chicken carage- a little over battered but still crispy & delicious; spicy california roll wasn't so spicy, however had a perfect balance of filling to rice wrap. Last Dragon roll was beautiful in presentation and taste! Texture was on point for all three. For our meals, we ordered 2 item bento: teriyaki beef and Salmon- both very good. Second bento had mixed tempura and california roll. All bento's came with rice, two pan fried gyoza's with sauce, salad, and miso soup. Last chicken stir fried udon noodles yakisoba seasoning with small slices of onion, zucchini, canbbage, broccoli, and chicken, served on a sizzling cast iron skillet- exactly what i've been looking for! Texture and taste of the noodles were perfect! Fried mixed tempura was a little oily, I would say this is where Niko Niko outshined. We will definitely visit again! If you have never been, I would definitely give this place a try! read more

Very pleased with this sushi spot in Redlands under new ownership! Really cute and clean inside. It is very cozy and the sushi bar is also quite small. Although it looked like only one person was working the dining room, the server was extremely efficient. We only had to wait a minute or two and the server brought everyone waters and we were able to place our food order shortly after. The menu is pretty big with a range of different options such as: Ramen noodles, sushi combos, a variety of rolls, and even lunch specials. We enjoyed our crunch roll, golden tiger roll, and the rainbow roll. My two boys both started with hot miso soup as an appetizer as well which they both said was good. I also love the presentation of the hot tea with a little teapot. I would definitely come back since I enjoyed the service and the quality of the sushi. This place is in a very busy shopping center so you may have to walk a bit to find parking. read more
