    Complimentary corn soup
    Jennifer L.

    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!

    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.

    ~ Best TORO ~ High quality fish! Yummy appetizers! Great price! (only had it to go) The Toro & Salmon is amazing! The spicy albacore roll is also great! I luv their jalapeño poppers! The service is nice with lots of seating inside.

    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.

    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!

    Osaka Chirashi (April 2026)
    Annie T.

    YUMM so happy to find Sushi Kyo. They are generous with the fish and it's high quality. Get the Osaka chirashi - super tasty and fixes my chirashi craving.

    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.

    Black Spider Roll
    Kara S.

    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.

    Furikake French Fries
    Melanie P.

    Sushi Kyo is one of the best sushi restaurants we've ever been to in California. Their quality is stellar. We ordered bento boxes with tempura, takoyaki, avocado rolls, Philadelphia rolls, spicy tuna rolls, pork katsu, and an additional side of curry. We also shared the lion king roll and an order of divine furikake fries. Additionally, they gave us a complimentary tasting of their luscious corn chowder soup. Overall, Sushi Kyo's current average of 4.7 stars holds up. If you ask me though, they really deserve more. The furikake fries and curry sauce are what shocked me the most. They were inspiringly good, with strong flavors that overwhelmed my senses. That said, you must pair the fries with the dipping sauce they provide. The pairing is what is perfect! Kyo's sushi is equally as excellent. However that's more expected. Their rolls have a gorgeous presentation with fresh, fantastic tastes to match. Their salad, tempura, and takoyaki are similarly solid. You really can't go wrong here. Or at least, we didn't. We do plan on frequenting again during our next nearby SoCal trip.

    Chicken Bowl
    Vincent T.

    This place is great. The chirashi bowl is DELICIOUS. I forgot which exact chirashi bowl it was, but it definitely had very premium fresh fish. Sushi rice was nicely seasoned. My only minor complaint is... please... truffle oil.. whyyy :( But that's just my opinion. I'm sure others may find it great. Would definitely come back. Thanks Amex for sponsoring this meal for me once a quarter :)

    Bento Box was pretty good
    Christy C.

    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.

    I placed a large lunch order by calling the number listed on a Sushi Kyo business card in Monrovia. When I arrived, they said they never received my order. After checking, I realized I had called the wrong restaurant--the number actually belonged to Kamon in City of Industry. When I contacted Kamon, they said the order was already prepared and refused to cancel it. I agreed to pay but requested a discount, which they provided after speaking with a manager. Later, I placed a new order with Sushi Kyo and explained the situation, and they also offered a discount. Since the other location was too far from my home, I asked my parents to pick up the original order. However, when I called back, I was told that part of my order had already been given to other customers. Despite paying for the full order, I only received a portion of it. After multiple discussions, they eventually adjusted the order to match the amount I had paid. Overall, the situation was very frustrating, especially because the mistake was not on my end.

    Osaka Sushi
    Aileen H.

    This is a new Japanese restaurant that took over Chronic Tacos that was previously in the same location. The owners transformed the space into a cozy beautiful modern Japanese eatery. We sat down and were offered complimentary corn soup in these big spoons. The presentation was beautiful and I appreciated the freebie to kick off the meal! I got the Osaka sashimi and my friend got the Osaka Sushi. We both loved it. The fish was fresh and I liked the variety. I went during soft opening so we also got complimentary red bean ice cream for dessert! Our other friend got the salmon sushi and she liked it too. Service was excellent. I will be coming back again soon!

However, I got their platter and it came out warm/cold. It was obviously they grilled it previously and then just heat it up a little before serving. I expect my food to taste fresh, or at-least come out hot. I should have noticed when the platter came out some quickly. It did have a nice taste overall otherwise, and still ate it. I am regretful though. Otherwise, their main ramen tasted very good. The chasu meat was very good and the Ramen came out hot. The oyster that was off the menu was amazing. Place is really cute and very Japanese. Honestly, I won't be coming back. I can't help, but feel like I was fed leftover skewers. The host was so nice, but unfortunately something was wrong with the cook. I should have not eaten the platter and hope I don't get sick.
