Visiting Bend and we thought we'd give it a try. Great location at Old Mill. Open setting with high ceilings, kids colorings were placed on one wall, all tables/booths were filled when we came in. Had Bob Ross painting show on tv that hung from the ceiling, weird choice for the setting. The servers were all very friendly so kudos to the staff. Execution though, lacked somewhat. Drinks came out slow and refills took a while, probably because we always had to flag someone down for something, instead of getting checked on. They do automatically charge 20% gratuity for parties of 6+(not an issue but just an fyi). Even though we were advised when we sat down, it didn't show up on the check we received, but was manually added on only after we provided the payment. The food was ok, couple of chicken teriyaki plates, bento boxes, ramen and sushi. We were given miso soup and a bowl of salad to start, but the bento boxes came with salad in the box as well, that's a lot of salad. Chicken teriyaki was ok, chicken was a little rubbery, teriyaki sauce was very light, in taste and amount they added. The shrimp for the assorted tempura (2 pieces) was very small. The large bowl of ramen seemed to taste very good, but arrived only after the other meals were already completed. Being from out of state, comparing it to places we've eaten back home, it's middle of the road. Didn't find anything wrong with the food, good servers but maybe just caught them at a very busy time, great location, couple of quirky things to talk about. In Bend for a week and hotel is close by, Mio Sushi provided us with a good dinner, but will probably try other establishments. read more

Dining at the Old Mill District in Bend OR We decided to dine here on our first visit to the Old Mill District. Prior to getting seated, though, we wanted to see the menu. The restaurant had a good number of diners but not crowded so we got seated immediately. The bento box was a good deal for 3-items at $17.95 dinner price and so hubby and I each had this. My three items for my bento box was the Salmon Teriyaki, Kalbi and California Roll. While hubby had the Chicken Teriyaki, Assorted Tempura and Beef Yakiniku. Each came with Mio salad, miso soup, steamed rice and veggie gyoza. It was a lot of food! I have had a lot bento meals in the past and Mio Sushi was one of the best I've had. To have my two favorite, salmon and Kalbi, together in one plate was great! The salmon teriyaki and Kalbi was so tasty and flavorful of teriyaki sauce. Cooked perfect! Mmm, delicious! I got full from my two dishes that I had to have the California Roll boxed to go. Unfortunately, hubby ate it all when we got back to our place so I didn't get a chance to taste and unable to comment on it. ¯\_('~')_/¯ Service was great. Our server (actually, there were more than one) they were very attentive to our table, nice and friendly. Overall, pleasant dining experience here. Good deal on the bento meals especially on how plentiful it was... and, no sales tax on the food! Review #1123 read more

I've been to the pdx area locations and they were always mid level mediocre - nice. Bend service was swell and in my very brief interaction not bad. read more

We've eaten here on several occasions the food has been fresh and delicious. The decor is nice and the restaurant is clean inside. The staff is friendly and attentive. I recommend eating here. read more

Mio Sushi is pretty uniform no matter what location you go to, offering really consistent menu options and service. This location does not differ from the others I have attended and truly is a good place to eat. I ate here several times while in the area and never left disappointed in either the food, service or cost. They check the boxes needed to earn your time, money and appetite - you cannot go wrong here. read more

Service was terrible. The server took our order then came back and asked if we ordered already... Food not that great either

Delicious food and reasonable prices. The restaurant is quiet and friendly, and to-go is also a great option.

Food was disgusting. Overcooked. Service descent. Temperature of heat in building was COLD!!!!

I have had plenty of ramen in my lifetime. This was the worst. The noodles were not cooked through, the soup was bland and tasted like murky water, the eggs were so overcooked that the white was rubbery. The fish cake with the pink swirl was not warmed all the way through. It was cold in the restaurant as though they were trying to conserve energy. Service was slow even though they were at 30% capacity. read more

i would rather eat grocery store sushi then eat here again. i used to love going here. who ever the new owners are need to realize that they suck at their job. the last 3 times i have ordered food to go from mio i was missing my sushi and only get my rice and soup. WHAT HELLO?!! went into mio today and was treated horrible at the counter she looked at me and my mother and just pointed at a table. then we said we ordered to go she then kinda walked away. not the helpful nice sever i was wanting from a place that was meant to be welcoming. especially in old mill, HELLO, bends only "city" is old mill. i loved the old food when everything was hot and you really paid for what you got. i'm missing food and getting horrible service. will not be coming back sadly can't keep wasting money on getting food i can't appreciate. read more

I'm actually not sure where all the negative reviews are coming from. Are people just pickier in Oregon (or just the Bend region)? Maybe proximity to Portland is to blame, I don't know. But, coming from the East Coast (where we have very good sushi as well), I was impressed by the quality and selection. My chirashi dinner came with toro (fatty tuna) and fresh crab (not the fake stuff), which I haven't ever seen before in a chirashi dish. The bowl was big, too, and quite filling. I couldn't finish the rice. Each morsel of the fish was incredibly delicious, too, with fresh taste and texture. The pieces were big, and the texture was perfect. I guess I do agree on the slow service, though. The place was virtually empty, but we had to wait for refills and a table visit after the food arrived. I needed a sauce dish, but couldn't find anyone to help. So, I just got up and grabbed one myself. Still, all things considered, it was a good experience. The sushi was definitely worth it, and the location and decor were great. Sorry to hear so many other bad experiences, though. With the place as empty as it was, I would be surprised if they hang around much longer. Here's hoping they turn things around, though. read more

Unfortunately this place really disappointed our family! We ordered spicy edamame, a salmon roll and a variety of other things and we were so disappointed we like this place but we won't order from them again unfortunately the salmon was spongy, the edamame was old and the Tako yaki was so small not good and soooooo disappointing!!! read more

Make sure you ask the waitress to write down your order, or you may not get what you ordered, and your appetizers may never even show up. We had below average service tonight so next time we will be requesting the waitress to write our order down. read more

Mio is a middle tier sushi establishment located near a lot of the resorts and hotels nearby. My girlfriend, sister, sister's boyfriend and I decided to eat here due to being sushi lovers from Cali we made assumptions that it's gotta be good. The sushi was lackluster and felt like it was missing something. We had an Aloha Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Salmon Roll, and some Mango Salmon Roll. The Mango Salmon roll sounded so interesting and surprisingly it was pretty bland. My sister and her boyfriend ordered bento boxes and Kyru Ramen with chicken and some small basic rolls (California and Spicy Tuna roll). They said the chicken was "okay" and the Ramen was literally Top Ramen noodles.. I kid you not so I would stay away from the Ramen here. The miso soup here was actually my favorite part of the meal.. But the redeeming part of the establishment is the service. We had a phenomenal waiter named Scott! He was funny, engaging, played 90s music in the restaurant and looked like he loved helping others! Great at his job! He also looks like a famous MMA fighter and he loved the compliment haha. Overall, he was the highlight of the meal due to providing excellent 5 star service and the only factor that prevented this place from being a 1 star was his service. Unfortunately I would not come back. read more

I need the owners of this place to understand something. Some people like spicy food without a sweet element and without an overwhelming amount of cucumber. Service was fine, there were no rolls that were spicy without some sort of sweet element to it. Be it a sauce or a mango. The only ones without it are wrapped in cucumber. The cucumber was a lot though. read more

Mio Sushi's ambience is a bit cool and echoing, with polished concrete floors and high ceilings in a large space. None of that matters, especially during Covid. This is a high-volume sushi restaurant where you never have to worry about quality or freshness. Their sushi is excellent, with generous cuts for nigiri and sashimi. Their rolls are fun and creative, with options for both newcomers to sushi as well as seasoned sushi lovers. Staff are always cheerful and responsive, even during these difficult times. They offer delivery through all of the usual app-based services,. However, if you can take the time to order by phone and pick it up yourself at the door, you will save them from paying exorbitant commissions to Silicon Valley behemoths. Pickup at the door is straightforward: you step inside briefly, they give you your bill to sign (don't forget to tip generously--they can use it!) and grab your bag and go. Everyone is masked, so it feels extremely safe. read more

Dropped $80 on some very basic sushi. Worst service I have had maybe ever. When I asked a question about a roll that I didn't think had fish eggs, the server literally turned and LAUGHED at the other server. Didn't offer to remake it, just laughed and ignored the question. The other server just told me she has never seen the roll without fish eggs and walked away. we got there 30 minutes before the closed, made sure to ask if it was okay to ve seated still, and then ordered within 5 minutes because the server was standing at our table the entire time we were looking over the menu. Then when they asked if we wanted anything else because they were closing, one of the servers came over and said we had plenty to eat and were fine. When we were paying the server was stood over me staring at the screen watching my choose a tip option. I have never felt more pushed out of the restaurant. Wish I could turn back time and not have given them my business. They clearly didn't want it.. read more

Delicious!! Food came out quick. Staff was very friendly. We loved the yellow tail jalapeño sashimi and their teriyaki chicken. read more

Ewe!!! Wow, for a business located in such a "hotspot" this experience was without a doubt a direct definition of stale! No flavor, no ambiance. Service was rushed because the servers are more interested in seeing the final bill tally so they can absorb their tips. DO NOT waste your money here! "Plastic Garbage Sushi", and don't think that your salvation lies with ordering a Bento box. The chicken was absolute rubber and crap - This place should be condemned. Enjoy!! read more

After my recent disappointment with mio via grub hub someone from the restaurant reached out to me. Offering a refund or replacement and letting me know, kindly, that the price was a higher than normal price because of the delivery service. I guess I should have done more though research before posting. Thank you mio sushi! read more

Great location, friendly, attentive staff, the room/space is neat, cheery. Have been in several times. The sushi rolls have always been unremarkable, but good, seemed fresh-ish, and aside from the gyoza appetizer, which are also good, that's all we've tried. The other menu items look great, nice selection, and saw a few dishes pass by that looked really good. The sake is fun, nice touch how they brought our bottle in an ice bucket. Neat kind of "open kitchen". We kind of stopped coming in spring/summer, to be honest, because of a fly problem. Maybe a challenge due to the river/location, and raw fish aspects... was a little surprised to see a couple there today, though... like, do they "winter" inside, or something?... and where?? read more

Always good food and very friendly service. Special requests are always received with a smile!

Two words: food poisoning. The salmon teriyaki I received in my bento box was RAW. Like sashimi on the inside. Ended up going through two days of stomach cramps and other unpleasant abdominal symptoms. Other than that the california roll was mediocre at best. read more

Very tasty. Excellent service - even on Black Friday! Beautiful display. Pleasant atmosphere and nice waitstaff. Alice was so quick to fill all our wishes. Will be back! read more

Food good, service polite but unorganized. The prices were high, but I expected that.The condition of the restaurant was not up to par for choices in the area. Dated, cheap decor, and tired looking. Unless updated and more organized, I don't think I'll be back. read more

Food wasn't bad but the sushi portions were very small for the price. Not sure if I'd go back. We had noodles, sushi, soup, and an appetizer. Nothing was remarkable. read more

The Tataki roll I've had before. However, delivered tonight, 1 roll. $33 with $5 tip. Fishy at first, rotten, sour horrible tuna, crab was off and I mean off. Could not swallow one bite. Spit in the trash! If you don't have fresh fish..... don't serve it! I'd check all of your crab ASAP. Food poisoning alert read more

Service was slow, it took them 5 min. to get water after getting seated, another 10 min. to take my order. The meal was very small

A nice spot to stop for some good food in the old mill area. Everything on the menu sounded so good I decided on the pick 3 bento to try the teriyaki chicken, beef, and a spicy salmon roll. The portions were generous and everything I had tasted great. There are so many more rolls available I definitely want to come back to try. The service was exception as well and my glass was never left below half full. They're a bit on the more expensive side but worth it for the quality of food and service. read more

Mio Sushi Old Mill - 3 Items Bento - Japanese Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Sushi was very mediocre. I got the shrimp tempura and spider roll. I kept finding hard shell in my spider rolls. They were just very bland, wish I would have added some sort of sauce to help. I door dashed and it was fast and quick and had everything in the bag! The teriyaki chicken was great though. If I ever went again I'd skip sushi and get chicken or try something else! read more

We stopped just before closing and we were greeted warmly by Mykaylynn. The food was exceptional and service was something even more. Thank you for an amazing experience. read more

This is the 4th Mio Sushi location we have been to and we had a really good experience at this one. We ordered 3 rolls and an order of the baked muscles (so good!). The rolls were delicious and definitely tasted like they had quality ingredients in them. Our server was new, but super friendly and helpful. We also got our food super fast! We would definitely stop by this location again. read more

The sushi is good, unfortunately the 14.50$ sushi roll doesn't come with soup. If you want to add soup it's 3.00$ for a small cup of miso soup read more

This was a definite miss. I took two bites, then threw away $50 of sushi. The hamachi nigiri was so old, it should have been thrown out days ago. The roll was full of wet spinach and a teeny piece of meat. It should have been apparent that the fish had turned, because the whole meal smelled rancid. The delivery driver was nice, though. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in the Old Mill~! Love their unagi rolls and spicy chicken.

Opted to go out in a limb and try this place again. Ordered DoorDash take out and was pleasantly surprised. The Harmony, Joy-Joy and Rainbow rolls were a nice quality and really fresh. The price point however: $18.15, $19.45 and $16.85 was a solid $3-5.00 higher a roll than my typical go-to sushi spot in Bend. I'm glad I gave this restaurant a second chance as I really enjoyed the rolls. read more

I've eaten at Mio about five times now, and have finally decided that it's a 3-star sushi place. I've had great items, and sometimes just ok items. The Good: Baked Dynamite appetizer (share this, it's large) Yellowtail hamachi nigiri (ask for ponzu) Miso soup Caterpillar Roll Seafood sunomono salad is really, really, really good Our most recent server, I think her name was Paris, was really friendly and helpful. Yet, even her smile couldn't make up for the rice. Sushi rice is supposed to be slightly sticky, not mushy, and have a slight zest from rice wine vinegar. The rice on this particular day was just plain old white rice. Meh. I'll continue to go to Mio for lunch every so often. It's worth it. read more
