Wonderful food. Love the corn soup served before our orders arrived. Great ambience. I definitely plan to return.

I've been hesitant to write about this restaurant because I don't want the lines to get longer!! I first ate here at the beginning of the year and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious, complimentary corn chowder. In terms of food, the bentos are just okay imo, but I love the sushi and sashimi options! There's quite a bit of variety for a decent price. The aesthetics are also on point. The Kyo and Osaka options in particular have beautiful presentations. Whoever runs this establishment has great taste because the menus are well designed and the interior design of the restaurant is serene and lovely. It gives the vibe of a fancy Michelin star restaurant, but the food here is for a fraction of the price. Location is prime and it's easy to find parking. Service has always been friendly and on top of things. Currently, they're having a deal and if you spend $100, you get $10 off next time. I want to keep this place secret, but I also want to support a small business I enjoy so it can stick around. What a dilemma for me! read more

Took my gf and mom here to celebrate my Mom's birthday. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this place has been open since Winter of 2025 and didn't hear about through my foodie IG network. Insider Tip: If you are having a first date and/or celebrating a special occasion, I would suggest setting up a reservation beforehand. PARKING: We lucked out and found parking on Myrtle, right in front of the Basking Robbins. But the spaces just south of the restaurant and most of the street, were filled. But it was also a Saturday night, so it Old Town Monrovia was bustling! WHAT WE ORDERED: 2 Special and 1 Regular Chirashis The fish diversity was great. The cuts were about average sized and the portion was quite good. The sushi rice was pretty good as well. The only thing that was missing to make it special, was uni. The spoon of ikura was good, as well. Jalapeno Poppers The jalapeno poppers weren't bad but there was nothing to write home about. We placed the order about 5 minutes after we placed our initial order, but it came out when we were halfway through the meal. I understand that it was after we ordered our main dishes, but it could have been quicker (yes, I know that it was a Saturday night). SERVICE/WAIT STAFF: Overall, the service was ok. Again, it wasn't anything to write home about. I wished that the staff came by a couple of times and check in on us, but I guess it was a rookie waitress that we had. One of the things that I noticed was that the restaurant was Korean owned because of a couple of things: (!) the macaron freezer that is in the front of the restaurant (this is common place) and (2) the fact that there were Korean items on the menu! I asked one of the Korean servers to see if they would have Korean sashimi mixed rice (hwae duhp bahp) and Korean roe rice (ahl bahp) available. He said that they didn't and the fact that the owner wanted to keep things as Japanese as possible. I asked him to let him know that if he is going to have bulgogi and stuff on the menu, that they should include the sashimi and roe mixed rice, as well! I think that those might be a hit! VERDICT: All i all, my mom had a good meal and birthday and we will definitely be back. read more

Found this unexpected gem in Monrovia. Street Parking or Lot behind the restaurant. Take CC. They were pretty busy on a Sunday night. Lots of take out. I always try the chirashi bowl whenever I go to a new Japanese place. They don't disappoint. The fish is fresh and there is a good variety. Prices are reasonable. Good service. Will repeat. read more

This place is delicious! I really enjoyed it. I've been here twice and tried the fresh sashimi roll ( this one is rolled in cucumber no rice which I love!), Red dragon roll, BSC Roll, ribeye skewer and my daughter got the kids meal. I try to eat low carb keto and I like that this restaurant has a lot of options like the fresh sashimi roll, poke bowls, meat skewers and a very delicious looking menu of sashimi. I will be back to try the poke bowl and sashimi next! I would recommend trying this place out. Also, the atmosphere is nice and the servers and staff are amazing! read more

Came back to see how the yakitori was and tried some other dishes as well. The interior is clean and casual, service is acceptable. Servers took finished dishes promptly and were great at answering questions. The yakitori was not bad, the best of the lot was probably the pork skewers because they were the most flavorful. Most everything was reasonably priced. Soft shell crab and sushi were good, not top tier but better than many places as the fish tasted clean and relatively fresh. The kids bent box came with a lot of food, which was awesome! Would definitely revisit when I'm in the area. read more

I'm gonna start off by saying boats for days. I came along to celebrate a birthday and we ordered two boats, the Kyo boat and the middle option. Services was fantastic and the servers were extremely friendly. The inside is very clean and very modern. The seared tuna was delicious, as well as the seared albacore. Every salmon slice on the variation of rolls that were on the boat was buttery and decadent. I will definitely be returning again. read more

My new favorite sushi spot in the 626 area! I was looking for a modern sushi restaurant with affordable prices and came across Sushi Kyo on Yelp. The reviews were great, and their menu caught my attention! We went around 5:30 pm for dinner and there was already a wait. I put my name down for bar seating, which ended up being quicker! Their signature dishes looked so good. I got the Osaka sushi set, which comes with 10 pieces of nigiri. It was the prefect size and very fresh! We also ordered the maki bento combo, where you can customize your maki selections. We chose tuna, salmon, yellowtail, eel, and blue crab, plus an inari add-on. Even though the restaurant was busy, our food came out quick. Everything was beautifully presented, and the portions were filling. Service was also great! I want to come back to try their chirashi and specialty rolls next! read more

Sushi Kyo has been such a great addition to old town Monrovia! My friend and I stopped by for lunch and promptly started with the Kyo Sashimi, which came out beautifully presented! Our favorites from that dish were the otoro, salmon, and yellowtail but everyone else was also fresh and delicious! We also ordered the seared lime pepper salmon roll and the paradise roll and both were really good! But the seared lime pepper salmon roll was the standout for us as it had so much flavor in every bite and was generously filled with lots of fish! Everything came out fresh and beautifully plated, and the whole meal was perfect for lunch -we'll definitely be back! :) read more

They start you out with free corn soup - delicious I ordered the bento box with 3 options I ordered chicken katsu, spicy tuna & fried tempura Omg this was such a large bento box I couldn't finish it but so delicious. My friends & I shared a sashimi salad which was really tasty We also got the furikake fries to share I highly recommend Service is great & since it was July 4, there wasn't any parking so we parked at the shopping center and walked over. read more

Sushi Kyo - My bento box, so big couldn't fit in my screen! - Japanese Near Me - Monrovia, California

Sushi Kyo Japanese Restaurant is located in Old Town Monorovia. The place was very busy, but we were seated promptly. The staff were very attentive and genuinely warm. It was clear that there was a very positive staff dynamic. The restaurant had cozy vibes and nice decor. It is spacious and organized. They served us a complimentary corn soup upon arrival. It was exceptional. We tried chicken yakitori skewer, fried squid leg Baked green mussel as well as a couple of rolls. We ordered Bora bora, Salmon with blue crab, Double hamachi roll, Zen roll,Albacore tataki roll, and Popcorn roll. My goodness! All the rolls were so savory, very fresh, high quality and the portion was generous. We also got Halibut carpaccio with black truffle. It was creamy, aromatic and savory. For desserts, we got: Chocolate truffle, but the server recommended Pistachio truffle too. We ended up ordering both. I am glad we did! Pistachio is not my favorite choice, but at Sushi Kyo is a must! It was the Best! I am still craving it since we left the restaurant. The service was excellent and fast. Sushi Kyo has become my favorite sushi place. Definitely, we will come back very soon. read more

Honestly, new favorite spot for bento boxes and sushi! I came with a family of 9 and we called 20 minutes ahead of time and they were happy to save us a table. We were seated in a sort of intimate spot in the corner of the restaurant that "isolates" us from the rest of the restaurant. We were checked on so many times and it never felt like service was short. We were given recommendations since it was our first time here and they were all delicious! We ordered 5 bento boxes and upgraded 2 of them to the sashimi. We also shared 1 noodle dish and 3 different rolls. Before all of our entrees came, we were also given a complimentary corn soup that was magnificent. The Monrovia Roll was one of my favorites since there were so many pieces of salmon with each bite. The portions were perfect and the quality of the fish was excellent. read more

I returned for the 5th time in 6 months. Sushi Kyo in Monrovia has quickly become my favorite local sushi spot. This time we were there to celebrate Father's Day and had a larger group so we were able to sample more dishes. The place was almost full at 5pm and more people showed up afterwards. 1. Kyo Sashimi - this was beautifully presented and had the WOW factor. Every piece of seafood tasted fresh. This entree was definitely the STAR of the dinner. 5/5 2. Seaweed Salad - refreshing 5/5 3. Mixed Tempura - good 5/5 4. Garlic Green Beans - simple and delicious 5/5 5. Dragon roll with eel - I would have preferred a long plate for the presentation instead of cutting the roll in half 4/5 6. Stir-fried yaki udon noodles - a bit too sweet 3/5 7. Inari - spicy salmon, yellow tail - I loved these 5/5 8. French fries and fried chicken = standard 5/5 9. Asparagus roll with tuna = beautiful presentation but the texture was too mushy 3/5 10. Red-bean ice cream = 5/5 This place offers a huge menu selection and pretty much something for everyone! Service was excellent. Free parking outside. read more

I didnt have any expectation when I came in, just finish up the gym and was just super hungry! Surprisingly, the sushi quality are way better than I expected. The portions are way generous! For $12 dollar fried baby octopus they give like 8 pieces, for the salmon skin salad, i thought I would see this small bowl but it's actually so huge that I can be full just by eating alone. And of course the main sashimi bowl, with gorgeous display~ Look at the picture and you'll see!! Happy happy stomach!

Much better than Mikomi Sushi if I have to be honest. Just make the walk over here instead and you won't have any regrets! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. But overall just felt the sushi was a bit more authentic (as authentic as American sushi can be I guess) and higher quality. Everything was fresh and delicious. Good variety in the menu too and the kid's meal is huge, such a great value! Will be coming here from now whenever I'm in Monrovia! We came here last time after visiting the Monrovia's farmer's market. read more

Finally found a new favorite sushi spot in the area! Great quality and variety of different rolls. I was surprised by the yakiudon, and it might've been my favorite dish. We had 4 rolls, okonomiyaki, Yakiudon, and 4 skewers for 6 people. Good amount and staff was really nice. would def come back for the bento set next time! Also if you have AMEX PLATINUM this is on Resy, $100 off! read more

Keeping it short and sweet. Good ambiance, staff, and food. Price is a bit high for dinner but lunch time special looks great. Sushi feels fresh enough, curry had sufficient flavor, and my high ball was very refreshing. Would definitely come again. Only negative experience here was a family next to me. Restaurant can't do anything about that and it's more of a personal want for me to either establish kid/ family section because everything else was nice and for the price I'm paying to enjoy this food, my experiences gets a little sour when parents aren't doing anything when their kids are being unruly, watching iPad to loud, or making a slight mess in a more upscale adult oriented establishment read more

I have their waitlist QR code saved in my phone so that I can always check the line. My favorite is the seared salmon sashimi-- super fresh and you can taste the nice char from the grill. They also add a little bit of lemon zest on top. Everything on the menu is honestly really good. Until next time! read more

Been meaning to try this place for a long time, but I kept forgetting about it. Finally went, and unfortunately I was not impressed. The good - they are part of a large strip mall in Monrovia, so finding a parking spot is easy enough. Also, service is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is also nicely designed and looks good overall. Too bad the food was so meh. We each got 3 item bento boxes. One bento was chicken katsu, chicken karaage, and calamari tempura. Everything was okay, but their tempura batter isn't very good and they do not have any white meat chicken, which is a minus for me. If you don't want the soup or salad, they will give you more rice. The second bento was salmon teriyaki, mixed tempura, and shrimp shumai. The teriyaki was okay. The tempura was the same disappointing batter, and the shrimp shumai are giant, overly fishy, and mushy. The final bento was beef teriyaki, shrimp tempura (give up the veggies and get a third shrimp tempura), along with the same yucky shrimp shumai. The beef teriyaki was actually just fine if nothing special. Still, I'd eat this again. The shrimp tempura had the same unsatisfactory batter. And, well the shumai were the same as the other ones - not good at all. They were so fishy and it was a Sunday, so I actually sent them back after one bite and just had them taken off the bill. Maybe there are better dishes. We don't eat sushi, so I can't speak to that. I just know that except for the beef teriyaki I doubt that I'd rush back for anything. Not the best, not the worst. Just mediocre. read more

Kind servers, yummy food, good ambiance. The otoro sushi was delicious. Pricey! But delicious! The paradise roll had fresh fish on top. The beef teriyaki bowl was delicious, could've used a bit more teriyaki sauce though. I would definitely return! Also I love that they give a creamed corn soup as an appetizer included in your meal. It was yummy! Also I know this is random but the women's bathroom had such a pleasant fragrance to it! It smelled like Le Labo perfume which is amazing. read more

Love love coming here for their kyo sushi set! Very filling and fish quality is always fresh and yummy. My favorites are the oratorio, sweet shrimp and blue fin tuna. I also enjoyed their appetizer - Golden hanpen cheese which is basically this soft fish that is fried on the outside with cheese. Super soft and subtle taste of cheese which was perfect. Definitely come check them out if you're in Monrovia! read more

Might be my new favorite sushi place. Service is quick and all the servers are friendly. Sushi is fresh and relatively good deal for the quality you get. You also get free corn soup right when you sit down. Place is pretty spacious. I've come for lunch and the lunch special was decent. Loved the dressing on the side salad they give you. And the lunch bento comes with miso soup. I came again tonight for dinner to try their yakitori which is only available after 4pm and food was spot on again. I saw them putting our reserved signs on tables so I'm assuming they take reservations. Yakitori was decent. I wasn't blown away but it was good. The chicken was just cooked. Like I saw a tiny bit of pink from what could just be how they cook it but I mean I wasn't sure but it tasted fine and I haven't gotten sick yet so yes I rolled the dice with that one. My son got the poke bowl and it was pretty big. Nothing special other than the size. I got the maki bento - salmon, fatty tuna, yellowtail and crab - and I added the sushi. I could have just done with two rolls but my eyes were bigger than my stomach. The salmon and fatty tuna were the best. Yellowtail was pretty good. Crab was mildly disappointing. My favorite is the sweet shrimp sushi. Fresh and they deep fry the head. I got it automatically the first time I came but had to ask for it the second time. That was my only complaint. Well that and they only have two single stall restrooms which is always a pet peeve of mine for restaurants but I did see a line for the men's restroom (total surprise since it's always the women who have to wait) and a waitress told the men they could just use the women's one. Definitely coming back again to try more of the menu. read more

A great addition to the Old Town Monrovia neighborhood. They have unique dishes here that other sushi spots in the neighborhood don't quite have. Prices are reasonable for the area as well.

Sushi Kyo - Japanese Near Me - Monrovia, California

This has become one of my favorite spots for casual sushi in the SGV. I've been here a few times now and they consistently serve quality sushi and sashimi. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and pretty spacious, so I've never had to wait for a table. I've tried a good mix of items here. The lemon roll was solid, and the Kyo sashimi mix has a nice variety of fish. We also tried both the Osaka chirashi and the Kyo chirashi. The Osaka is more of your standard chirashi with a good variety and solid portion. If you're feeling a little fancier, go for the Kyo chirashi. It comes with higher quality cuts and a more premium selection overall. Both were really good, and the sushi rice here is on point. I've also had their bento box where you can choose 2 to 3 items. We went with tempura, salmon kama, and albacore, and everything was delicious. One thing I really like is they give nice thick cuts of sashimi, even for pricier items like toro. The servers are always super nice which makes the experience even better. Overall, I think this place hits a really good balance. Good quality without being overly expensive, which is hard to find in the SGV. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. read more

Huge servings and fresh sushi for a good price! We ordered the bento box with mixed tempura, with takoyaki, and karage chicken. All of the sides were incredibly well served. We also ordered 2 speciality roles and both were delicious with very fresh fish. For 2 people this was a ton of food and we took leftovers home. We will definitely be coming back to this spot!

Sushi Kyo - Dinner 3 Item Bento Combination - Japanese Near Me - Monrovia, California

Sushi Kyo did an amazing job renovating this space. It has changed over a lot over the years and this is the best iteration yet. Food wise, they have a LOT of options and I would definitely say that is one of their upsides. The place is clearly Korean-owned, like most of the Japanese restaurants in Monrovia, and you can tell by the way they serve the food and some of food options like Bulgogi. I went with a large group, most of us Japanese American or mixed Japanese American and everyone seemed pretty happy with their food. Service was really good too. I had a Poke Bowl which I thought was pretty decent. This place wouldn't be my first choice for Japanese food in Monrovia but I wouldn't mind coming back again. read more

I read all the great reviews for this newer restaurant in Downtown Monrovia, so had to try it out. The food, service and atmosphere were all great, 5 stars all around. Modern setting, decent amount of seating and good flow in the dining room. All of the wait staff were super attentive, helpful with recommendations and looked to be genuinely interested in ensuring that you have the best experience while in their restaurant. I can honestly say that the fish quality was top notch, so fresh and flavorful. All of the dishes that we ordered had the right balance of flavor without being overly salted or sweetened. The plating and presentation for all of the orders, big and small, were thoughtful and helped to highlight the food. There is something for everyone on the menu, thus even for our family of 5, we were able to satisfy each and every single palate. All orders had the perfect portion size so that it wasn't too large of a serving, but yet, enough. If we had to pick highlights, the salmon sashimi, the spicy seafood ramen, the crispy rice with spicy tuna, the LA roll, and the kama all topped the list. This is definitely a must return place when we are in the mood for sushi! read more

I met a colleague friend for a lunch meeting at Sushi Kyo on a Friday. Sushi Kyo is located in the same plaza as Vons and Baskin Robbins, facing Myrtle, so you won't see it from the parking lot. We came at opening so it wasn't too busy. We were welcomed to a half booth and they brought us a complimentary spoon of tasty soup as an amuse bouche to get us started while we looked at the menu. The waitress was nice but could use more awareness. For instance when my colleague was clearly on his phone, she approached trying to take the order, I whispered that we aren't ready and did the phone motion, and she was like Oh! Anyways, we started off with the House Sake ($9.50/large) and the Calamari Tempura ($12). It was a nice snack. The tempura was a bit heavy and oily compared to other tempura batters. Oh another strange thing about the waitress, she only put down ONE ginger and wasabi. I had to ask for another one. This is the first ever sushi restaurant where they only gave me one for the table and not one per person. Not sure if it's their restaurant policy or a staff training issue. For our meal we decided to share a Double Hamachi Roll ($18.50) that has yellowtail inside and out and a Rainbow Roll ($16.50) that's like a California roll topped with tuna, salmon, shrimp, avocado. Glad we kept it fresh with our rolls. The quality of the fish was good for this tier of sushi. The rainbow roll is a classic, can't go wrong with the variety. I really liked the double hamachi roll. As we worked through our meal we ordered another House Sake ($5/small) to enjoy with the rest of the meal. So remember how I said the waitress was nice but lacked awareness?? Well... she was nice to refill my water BUT she spilled a significant amount of water on my Burberry bag that was sitting on the chair next to me. Leather doesn't like getting wet. Not to mention I had a few electronics with me. She said sorry but she didn't bother bringing me napkins or anything actually useful to soak up the water. Sigh. I had to use the napkin from my meal that wasn't as perfectly clean as I'd like because I didn't want a soaking wet purse. I liked the food but I'm not sure if I feel safe for my purse coming back here. The food would have been a 4 star but the clumsy service knocked it down to 3 stars. read more

First time coming to this place and it was quite busy since it was a Friday night. We jumped on the waiting list and were seated per the wait time which was 25 mins. I felt bad coz I thought they forgot about us coz the wait list said we had 0 min wait and was next. We saw people seated before us but it's because they had reservations hehe. I ordered the bento with salmon teriyaki, albacore roll, and mixed tempura. The hubs and the daughter got rolls - black spider roll and monrovia roll. Everything was delicious especially the miso soup. Sitting at the bar was nice but be forewarned that they have a lot of rolls coming out so you might be interrupted a few times with the servers reaching for it. Not a bad first time and may come back for the service alone. read more

Ordered Doordash and received my order pretty fast - in less than an hour! Got the 2 Item Bento Box ($22) and got the chicken teriyaki and extra +$2 for sushi. It came with a salad, miso soup, and rice. The sushi tasted decent and the fish was very fresh. The chicken teriyaki seemed quite bland and didn't taste grilled enough. The sauce was ok and didn't really have much of a teriyaki flavor. The miso soup was average and nothing special. The salad was not bad and was pretty fresh. Overall, I thought the bento box was ok but probably won't reorder. read more

Excellent sushi. Dined here for my birthday and really enjoyed every dish we got. Highly recc Osaka Lover, Seared Lime Pepper Salmon Roll, and Double Hamachi Roll. The Monrovia Roll was good too. Our orders also came with a creamy corn soup and a miso soup. The fish here is so fresh, the rice for the nigiri is just right and flavorful, and the combinations of taste and texture are just spot on here. Price point is fair too, and the location is great! Really enjoyed the modern yet intimate atmosphere in the restaurant. Overall, this spot gets two thumbs up from me! Looking forward to trying it again in the future! read more

Wonderful find! Very cute decor, ample seating, kind staff, and quick service for a Saturday afternoon. I liked the complimentary corn soup they provided to start the meal. And the baked salmon roll was so good. It's usually my safe bet option when I try a new sushi restaurant - this one had an ever so slight smoky flavor to the salmon that made it different (in the absolute best way). The galbi beef (bento box) was cooked perfectly and was very tasty! The price point wasn't too bad, though I wish the portions were just a liiiiittttle bigger. Nonetheless, wonderfully done! Thank you Sushi Kyo team read more

My wife and I visited this restaurant after reading Hannah S.'s excellent review here on Yelp. Thank you, Hannah. We were first-time visitors to this sushi restaurant in downtown Monrovia. The minute we arrived at this restaurant, we knew we were going to enjoy our visit. Upon entering, we were greeted by Stacie and a young male employee. They were both extremely polite, friendly, and welcoming. Stacie escorted us to a lovely table in the center of the restaurant and immediately took our beverage orders while we glanced over the menu. Everything we ordered was AMAZING!! The edamame were delicious, super garlicky, and left me wanting more. The various rolls we requested were fresh, well-made, and delicious! Thank you to the sushi chefs. We truly enjoyed our dinner and left feeling extremely satisfied. The service we received during our visit was EXCELLENT! We had three different waitresses and one waiter deliver our food, check on us constantly, and take our used plates. A special thank you to Stacie and Silvy for the GREAT service and hospitality. The two of you went out of your way to make us feel welcome, and you helped make our first visit to your restaurant a positive experience. The restaurant has been open for business for just over one month. The vibe here is classy yet casual and relaxed. Everything was clean, shiny, and well-organized. This is a very popular restaurant, as evidenced by the number of people we observed dining during our visit. They do take reservations, which is highly recommended on weekends. My wife and I became fans of this restaurant, and we will return soon to try new items from the menu Thank you again, Sushi Kyo read more
