Great Sushi. Great fast and friendly staff. This will become one of our regular stops during our annual visit to Bend!

Well just a giant failure. Our fourth visit and our last. Zero customer service and the b-otch just ignored us when we entered. After about five minutes we left never seated in an almost empty restaurant. People that where there could not pay their bill and it was just bad. This place has a terrible problem. I gave one star for location and build out. Food on our other visits has shown as standard nothing special but always service sucks. Lots of options in Bend so I would avoid this stress. read more

I only had 30 minutes to enjoy some sushi with my 4-year old and Mio was the closest place for my window of time. The reviews made me wary, but I'm so glad we came in. The food was delicious and they were so kind to my kiddo. This place is awesome :) read more

First visit today had our expectations exceeded, but then again our expectations were low. As sushi places go, you can do better in Bend (Tomo) and you can do worse (Yoko's) and you can find a par with this (5 Fusion aka 5 Spice Fusion). But we guess the "niche" for Mio Sushi is that this is a sushi chain. So just like McDonald's there are no surprises. Every Mio Sushi serves the same things made the same way. Bottom line; if Iwe were traveling and really hungry, we'd stay hungry rather than eat at McDonald's. But if the choice was between staying hungry and eating at Mio Sushi, we'd happily eat there. But this is not a sushi destination restaurant. Still the people were friendly, the restaurant was clean and bright, seating was comfortable, the prices were reasonable and the menu was approachable. We have to admit that the menu caught us off guard at first - the two different "sushi pizza" offerings on the Chef's Special lunch menu made us say "oh oh". But it really was better than that kind of thing might suggest for food focus. We had three things with which we're really familiar in Japanese restaurants for fair comparison - avocado roll, baked mussels, and shrimp and veggie tempura. The first was pretty good (and came with lots of good gari, so thumbs up). I liked that the rolls were a little smaller sized and were easier to eat with one bite. My husband liked the mussels and they are normally among my favs, but these tasted "fishy" to me. The tempura was good for the shrimp, but the veggies (acorn squash and onion) were cut too thick and they were greasy. But the hot things were served nice and hot and the cold roll was served cold so they also get points for correct temperatures at service. Good prices too - for those three things and green tea for both of us the total bill was around $12. Bento box offerings seemed to be a big hit at tables all around us and so did the udon. So those may be on our "to try" list if we find ourselves eating at Mio Sushi somehwere in the future. But for us this would be an "of necessity" choice for a meal and not a destination. Still all around, AOK. read more

Ok, so since this manager change or whatever, the quality of the food has declined, and so has the service. This has been my family's favorite sushi place in Bend for the last 3 years, until now. This time, our shrimp sushizza (baked) was luke warm, and the rice was really soggy. The time before this, we had asked for extra creamy sauce on it, but they forgot, so it came on the side. The time before that, we ordered a shrimp sushizza, and instead got a SQUID sushizza. This has all happened within the past month or so. The last manager knew us as soon as we walked in the door, and started making our food as soon as he saw us. It was baked to perfection and always right. I'm disappointed with the change. read more

What a wonderful surprise. I came to Bend from a city that has nothing but great options for sushi, and after trying a few Sushi joints around here, I didn't expect much. But, I ended up walking out of that place pretty satisfied. I had the sashimi dinner combo (see photo). For around $15, it came with good miso soup. The fish selection was excellent, and the fish was straight-out-of-the-ocean fresh. I also tried their tempura and salad with a unique, homemade, citrus flavored dressing. Also very good. Service was great. I was greeted immediately as I walked into the door. My server was extra attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly. Clean environment, excellent Japanese food, good service. I highly recommend this place to satisfy your sushi cravings if in Bend. read more

I have no idea why this place doesn't have better ratings. Today I was served beautifully by Yen who helped me pick something safe and delicious to satisfy my pregnancy cravings. I got the Mt Rainier roll which has crab inside and baked salmon on top with the perfect amount of spice to complete it. Will definitely be back soon!! read more

Really really great sushi, great and friendly service from a young blonde server who was super sweet. Sushi came out in a good time and was more than we expected! So delicious and unbelievably inexpensive read more

We had a great experience here and would highly recommend. We have tried 3 Sushi location while staying in Bend and Mio not only had excellent service ( thank you Cat) but the food was delish and incredibly reasonable. We were reluctant based on sone of the previous reviews but glad we didn't let that hold us back or we would have missed out. Will definitely be back, thank you! read more

Excellent sushi and combinations. Super friendly staff and the food is amazing. We will be back soon! read more

Finally a place that cares! I ordered through Grubhub, and a lot of the times the orders are wrong. Mio Sushi took the time to call me and make sure they completely understood my order. Their food is freaking delicious. Will definitely order again!!! read more

Great service! You'll never wait long and every server is very attentive. Awesome sushi! 5 stars for quality, price and service!!' Good size restaurant too with outdoor seating read more

I stopped in for some fresh unagi and was thoroughly impressed. During some small talk with my server I mentioned that I had been evacuated from western Oregon due to the fires. At the end of the meal she informed me that she covered my bill. It's hard to find kindness today but you'll find it at Mio Sushi. read more

We have always loved getting sushi here and they've done a wonderful job distancing and providing the best sushi rolls to go! Call ahead of time or be prepared to wait about 20-30 minutes :) read more

Super disappointed with lack of flavor across all items and OBSCENE amount of plastic when we made it clear we were just eating outside.

We arrived in Bend on our way back home and stuck in a hotel with the world up side down with the COVID-19. My wife is a Sushi snob only raving about Sensei in Maui and Sushi Q in Nevada City Ca. We are across the way from Mio and thought we would give it a try. Wow it is the real deal! Rainbow Roll was great the Spider roll was really good with no greasy taste you find in cheap sushi and light and fluffy rice in the California roll. Oh and the Ginger is the good stuff. What a find. Thanks read more

came here on a busy saturday and our server, andrew, was incredibly attentive and made us have an incredible experience. he answered all of our questions and left us with very satisfied with service and food. read more

They really really really need to update their online menus. I called 3 separate times trying to order takeout and each time they told me they didn't carry the thing I had just asked for, but for some reason it was still on the menu on their website for their location??? So frustrating read more

Pretty disappointing. I like the Mio Sushi restaurants in Portland, but this place was not good. I got the sashimi plate for $21.95. The eel had a good flavor, though the piece was kind of small. I thought the tuna nigiri had a very strange and unpleasant fishy taste. The tuna roll that comes on the side was tiny, probably not much thicker in diameter than my thumb. The servers were all very nice, and it is in a nice location, but that's really all I can say. read more

I have eaten at Mio several times. It has always been ok, it's location is convenient which is usually why I have chosen to go there over other sushi options. Today I ate at Mio for lunch and ordered the same thing I always do, when the bill came I was shocked by the price. They have significantly raised their prices to the point where my usual order (chirashi sushi) was the most expensive price I have paid anywhere ever for the same dish. The food was never amazing but it WAS convenient and reasonably priced. Now with Mios new pricing it is not at all worth the price. I will not be going back. read more

The sushi and sashimi were fantastic! The fish served was amazing. The service was quick and attentive being as busy as the were. Will be back next time in Bend! read more

Great food, friendly service, first time here and love the chirashi bowl especially the tuna, so fresh. Will be back next time

Really fresh fish and the seaweed cucumber salad was super fresh as well. Service was great. Wood definitely come back.

Another non authentic junk food version of sushi in Bend. You are better off going to Costco and asking for imitation crab and making your own rice. Absolutely an eye sore to bend read more

Don't walk away...RUN! There's a reason why the prices are so reasonable and the prices so reasonable. Why oh why did I forget to check the Yelp reviews first! One bite and my taste buds screamed FISHY FISHY FISHY and we asked for the check! This is one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. We ordered 4 rolls and the very first bite of one was completely vile. Grocery store sushi would be considered 5 star in comparison to what they serve here. We didn't feel like getting Montezuma's revenge so we decided to cut our losses and go somewhere else. The owner was so pissed off when we asked for the check she literally started yelling at us! She said "fish fresh...you no have to pay but don't say it not fresh...fish is fresh"!!! Over and over again she professed the fish was fresh and kept pointing to the yellow tail roll. Then she yelled "which one not fresh?". When I said "the spider roll" she no longer defended the product. Apparently SOME of the fish was fresh haha! She then STORMED off with the platter in hand over to the kitchen. To our surprise, and half the restaurants, you could hear her cursing under her breath in another language and then we heard her literally chuck the platter into something (hopefully the trash) with such power it sounded like an explosion! Everyone was looking around and our eyes bulged and mouths dropped in aw! I'm glad she didn't try to pass the uneaten rolls unto some other unsuspecting customer! She then walked back to our table and threw the receipt down with such bitterness and rage in her eyes it was scary, she then stormed off. So sad to see an owner of a restaurant act this way. No apology, no "can I get you something else"! Wow, what ever happened to good ol' customer service? Maybe that's the way Japaneses business owners treat their customers. Not sure but thought she was going to pull out a Japanese samurai sword and hack us down before we got out of there. If your food sucks, it sucks! It shouldn't be a surprise and defending crappy food is a joke. Have some humility and know when your product isn't even dog worthy and just pray for patrons without tastebuds. Upon further review, I found out that this company buys large quantities of fish when the prices dip and then they freeze it prior to sending it out to all their restaurants making a higher profit. The reason the prices dip people is because the fish is getting OLD!!! YOU ARE EATING FROZEN SECOND OR THIRD QUALITY FISH MY FRIENDS! My friend also told me she knows someone who works there and how miserable the staff is. She said they get yelled at all the time. Dear Yelpers, we are eating raw food that needs to be fresh (without worms) so we don't get sick! I can only hope this place goes under sooner than later so another establishment can take over. How in heck has this place lasted??? Anyone that might think this is good sushi is what I would consider a crime. Amen! read more

I wish I could give more stars. The other reviews were not kidding when they talked about how bad the sushi was here. I had some hope since the other Mio locations I've been to were really good, so it surprised me when I got my sushi and after the first bite wished I hadn't even bothered. Def a big waste of money. I gave 2 stars because the servers were really nice. read more

We stopped here before a movie and while this wouldn't be my go to spot it was tasty and worked well for us. The service was good and the place was clean. We did enjoy our rolls and the miso soup was delicious. We will be back on movie night. read more

Horrible experience. Sat down at the sushi bar and was driven off. If you say your closing at a particular time, be consistent. Bad form and bad business. read more

I was there last night for my birthday dinner. I have a shellfish allergy and told the waitress I had the allergy. When I asked her if the miso soup was made of shellfish she said it had fish sauce and didn't know what that was made of, I asked her to ask the cook and she said, "well I guess I can do that." Then when I received my veggie Susie rolls (after I commented on the order that i had an allergy), they plated them with my friends shellfish roles. After telling the waitress that was not okay, she questioned what she should do and said she would make new rolls and throw these away, unless we wanted to pay for them too. I go to sushi in Bend on a regular basis and the wait staff and chefs are always very kind and considerate of my allergy- I have never been treated like this and will not be going back. read more

Having lived in Portland I came here expecting the same. Don't make the same assumption. The Portland locations have large fresh rolls, this joint the rolls are half the size, microscopic filling, rice could be fresher. More fresh? Better, how's that. Service was great but what a lousy meal. SO I gave it a second try, cause that's what I do. I don't throw a fit, rip businesses in reviews and leave it at that. Again, nice folks- lousy meal. NOTHING like what's shown in the pictures. What's the deal? Boo Hiss Siss Boom Bah read more

The sushi rolls are really good and the nigiri was decent . I will definitely come back for the rolls again .

This place is just so-so. Reasonably priced, located in the Old Mill Shopping Center. We went their during our holiday shopping. Clean, no wait, quick service. We tried three different rolls and the calamari. The sushi was just ok. The consistency of the rice wasn't what I was used too. Really starchy, dense. Not sure how else to describe it, the texture overpowered the fish. The Old Mill offers some options that we can't find with the local shops, so we are there fairly frequently. Lots of choices of places to eat and I will try Mio again. We like sushi, so I'm not giving up. read more

This is the most ghetto Japanese restaurant in Bend. I guess it's fitting that it's in the mall, but the old mill district is pretty classy. You can seriously get better food in an airport. Miso soup is hard to mess up but it is possibly the worst I've ever had, bland, clear-ish, with a few strands of seaweed and 2 tiny bits of tofu. The avocado in my roll was black and slimy. The one star was for our super sweet server who agreed about the avocado and swiftly replaced it. read more

crap food. I knew I shouldn't have eaten it...made me severely ill, actually ended up needing to go to the hospital because the food poisoning was so bad. never ever ever going coming here again. read more

We were cruising through the Old Mill District looking around before Bend BeerFest and we ran into Mio. There is only so long either of us can go before we need to have a little raw fish so we decided to give it a try. The pricing is reasonable. It isn't much different from any place in the city. That's good. The happy hour menu features 4.50 LARGE Asahi or Kirin (a couple of others, also). Thats out of this world! The happy hour menu has alot to choose from. I wouldn't say that it is the greatest sushi you might find, but it is reasonable for location. Our server seemed brand new, didn't know much about the menu....that being said, he was a great server. Very Personable. read more

Decent food, but slow service. We waited close to 45 mins for our Bento orders. When I asked about it the waitress looked annoyed and said it was done but she had been doing something on the computer and would get it right away. We waited another 5-10 minutes after that. read more

Just like a review before me: it's a chain restaurant, so expect the average chain restaurant sushi. It's not the best but definitely not the worst. Quick, friendly and attentive service in a modern building with high ceilings and bright colors. Extensive menu and we all enjoyed what we ate. My eel roll came out kinda cold and my salmon teriyaki was cooked all the way when I asked for medium but it wasn't awful. I really enjoyed the baked salmon roll (pictured in the menu on the bottom right hand corner). I didn't think the price was too bad and all in all I left full and quite satisfied. read more

Great place to eat! The sushi was fresh and delish and the service was top notch! We sat outside and I expected to be forgotten about a little, but our drinks never ran dry and the service was quick and pleasant! Will be returning soon!! read more

The workers are v nice yet they are slow. I waited about 30-40 mins for my food. the sushi is good. read more

Since we used to love the Mio Sushi in the Cascade Village, this looked like a good place for a quick Saturday lunch. Wrong, on so many levels. We waited 10 minutes for anyone to come by the table (ordered some tea), and another 10 for it to arrive. We both ordered a two item bento box, which took 45 minutes to arrive, and we informed that they were out of white rice, was brown ok? A sushi restaurant that runs out of rice in the middle of a day? Everything in the bento box was either cold, over cooked, or in the case of the salad, drowning in dressing. The miso soup was fair, although nothing great, which is the only reason this place got even one star. The couple next to us waited almost an hour, and her salad was so dry and flavorless, she had to ask for a couple spoonfuls of her companion's soup to liven it up. Overpriced, absolutely awful service, and food to match. Never again. read more
