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

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

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

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

The Food Was Great! Super sweet waitresses & everything got to the table fast. Definitely recommend for a sushi date night.

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

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

Sushi is always good there. It can get pretty busy and it's a small location. It being busy shows that it's good food. Staff is friendly. I don't love a lot of sushi spots in Redlands but this is one of my Favs. I always get the firecracker roll if you can decide it's delicious 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

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

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

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

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. The service stood out, the lady helping us was really nice and took the time to recommend items, which we appreciated. We also ordered the edamame and it was sweet and savory (not spicy at all) Overall a great experience with great service. 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

Great service, everyone was friendly, and the food came out very fast! We tried the following: Gyoza's, Shrimp Tempura, Edamame, Firecracker Roll, Alaskan Roll, and Pacific Roll. Everything was so good, we were so full by the end. 5/5 definitely recommend 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

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

Service was outstanding, I understand coming to a restaurant when they're about to close service can usually be quick and seem like they just want to go home...however Kyo Sushi provided exceptional service when we came at 8:10pm. They treated us super well...our server was Austin. If you come by.. order the raw fish sushi as it is super fresh and prepared right by you by the amazing sushi chefs... thank you Kyo Sushi for the amazing service... ambiance was extremely welcoming and awesome!! read more

Terrible experience here and definitely not coming back. I had a client dinner tonight and accidentally left my sunglasses at the table. I returned less than 20 minutes later and asked our server if she had seen them--she said no. I then asked if she could check with the busser or the other staff working, but she never followed up and just told me she'd call me if they turned up. After waiting hours with no update, I had to call the restaurant myself. The same server was dismissive and insisted I must have lost them somewhere else, even though the people I was dining with saw me walk in wearing them. I politely asked if they could review the cameras, and she said they would and would call me back shortly. That never happened. I called again and was then told the cameras "don't record" or were "full," which honestly sounded suspicious. When I expressed my frustration and mentioned that I've spent a significant amount of money here over the past few months bringing in clients, the server became argumentative and rude. With so many other sushi restaurants in the area that actually value their customers, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Tried the sashimi bowl with 8 pieces of fish. Tuna salmon yellowtail tamagotchi so absolutely fresh and the rice was delicious. Tried the garlic spicy edamame. So yummy. Service is friendly and so courteous. Big portions. Very clean facility. read more

Stumbled upon this delicious spot for an early dinner and my belly couldn't be happier! We ordered 2 rolls (rainbow & fire lion king), baked mussels, pan fried gyoza and garlic edamame....everything was fresh, and filling! It was a Saturday evening and there was no wait time for a table and very few people inside (not sure if it's because it's a new spot?). Would definitely return! read more

So this became a weekly thing for me -- and since I (apparently) prefer this sushi spot to all others in Redlands -- gotta drop the five stars. I've dialed down to two rolls I like. They make them the same way each time, with a generous amount of fish. The service is always attentive and I'll forgive that my favorite waitress has moved on. Sigh. But her cohort is sweet too. How lucky we are to have Kyo Sushi. If you don't know why, just drop by. THIS JUST IN -- So we tried their Lunch Special and I must say it's a 6th Star that's unavailable on Yelp. Let me explain. Maybe you're the person who winces at paying $15 a roll knowing full well you'll need 2 rolls to fill your tummy. I get you. Well, that's the special: two rolls and a little miso soup for $15. The catch is -- -- you can't pick any two rolls but instead two from a list of more basic classic rolls. Still, I had a Spicy Tuna Roll and a Tempura Shrimp roll that were deelish, and they're both fresher and cheaper than the nearby sushi at SPROUTS. So you and your friend can have four sushi rolls & two soups for $30. Wow. But wait, there's another way to play this. Suppose you want a FANCY roll, right? And so does your friend. Well then do one Special, then two FANCY rolls, and fight over who gets that soup. That's 22.50 per person, which isn't awful. You're welcome. read more

Food is great and the service is just as good. They make you feel welcome and appreciated! 3rd time here since new owners. Our Waitress is so pleasant and nice, she checks in on us to make sure everything is okay! We order the Yaki Soba Beef again because it's so good and the beef is really tender. Garlic Albacore is nicely seasoned with Garlic and it's quite tender. I mean 4 orders is just right for the two of us. Tried the Hawaiian Roll, crab inside and tuna on top. Fish is tender, and we enjoy eating here ! So far my favorite roll would be the Kyo Roll. If you haven't tried this Sushi Place, give it a try! You'll be happy you did. read more

We had Kyo Sushi on our wish list. Finally had a chance to enjoy going. It was a full house day, just sushi bar seats available. Fun to watch the construction of rolls. Unlike other places, we couldnt place our order with the actual chef, instead this was done via server. Despite this and the place being full, our muti-selection started streaming along to us promptly. Ever single bite was top-notch. Presentation was not skipped. Generous servings, matched the generous prices for our meal. But its all upfront with no MP (market price) surprises. The best quality of fresh items with a great selection which stands as number one for us. What a treat. But now we are really spoiled for going to other places. read more

First impression not so hot. I walk in at 8:40 not knowing they close at nine. The woman automatically says we're closed very rudely (people sitting inside dining). No hello, no greeting whatsoever. I asked her what time do they close and she says 9. Ma'am it's not even 9 yet. And she could've politely just said we'll be closing soon. Then she follows by saying there's no rice. Okay thank you for informing me but you didn't even let me look at the menu and you don't even know what I'm going to order. She wasn't very welcoming. I just put the menu down at that rate and left. Probably won't even come back to try this place. read more
