I’ve been wanting to try this place since seeing the “grand opening” banner a few months ago. This place truly did not disappoint!! Every single dish was so full of flavor and I love the elegant touch of the orchids for presentation. There were so many yummy options to choose from! We opted for the Bento Boxes we were so happy with our choices and completely devoured it! We like the variety of choices and every single item was super tasty. It was more expensive than the other sushi place we frequent in Redlands but we can say that this was definitely worth the price for the flavors, taste, and generous portion size. Would absolutely get this again and recommend the combo bento box if you’re really hungry or have a large appetite. The yellowtail carpaccio was delightful although we’ve had better versions with more flavorful sauce. The baked salmon roll was amazing and absolutely perfect. I wish I had more space for it but we ended up taking half of it home because we were so stuffed! The food here is great and we will definitely be back again and recommend it to others Service was great. Our server was friendly & efficient. Not a very long wait for our main courses. She checked up on us throughout our meal. The atmosphere was simple and cozy. The booths were pretty small and tight since we are pretty tall. But I’m sure it would be just right for most average-size adults or the average Asian frame. There were mostly booth seats and the center row had tables with chairs with sushi bar seating. Probably won’t be lots of seating for large parties at the same time.

Without a doubt this is the best sushi I’ve had in the IE! The ingredients were utterly fresh and everything melted in our mouths! They’ve got a great selection of beers, Sapporo, Kirin Ichiban, Orion and Asahi, and a dozen or so delicious rolls to choose from! Our favorite was the yellow tale, it was the most simple roll we ordered, which let the flavor of the fish shine. But everything was excellent! The staff is so friendly, patient, and genuinely nice. The whole experience from start to finish was perfect. I’m already looking forward to returning!

Small, intimate, cozy, very good customer service! My wife and I have been trying to find a good sushi place (little hole in the wall) since Zutto's went out of business in 2020. This place has surpassed every other Sushi spot we've gone to. The Fantasy Roll by far was our favorite (recommended by our server who was on it and had great customer service with us - unfortunately we didnt get her name!) and is the best roll to end the night on. Absolutely our new favorite spot and will be returning!

I found Kyo Sushi on Google maps, read the menu and saw the “avocado bombs” and decided to head there immediately. It did not disappoint!! The food was absolutely delicious! I wish I would’ve tried more food but I was definitely too full! I definitely recommend the baked salmon roll. It’s a small restaurant but it’s soooo good! The staff were amazing too!! Definitely coming back!

Fresh, delicious sushi with a casual atmosphere. Feels welcoming and clean. Waiters could be a tad more attentive re refilling empty drinks, but that’s a minor flaw for me. Overall, we had a great time. Will come back to this place, and recommend to friends.

New ownership (?) It's got a Grand Opening banner flying, but not sure how long that's been up. I guess the food was good. The Blue Fin Tuna was certainly wonderfully presented and was very delicious, but I was overwhelmed with the Spider Roll and Las Vegas roll. I thought 1 of each would be plenty for dinner, but both of them were were massive. I have a big mouth, but there was no way I could get a single piece, intact, into my mouth. Both were deep fried and FULL of rice. I was full after one roll. I took the other roll home. Most of the roll was rice, so it was good, but no discernment on individual flavor. I will go back, but going to temper my menu choices to something more reasonable.

Absolutely my husband's and I new favorite sushi spot! Our server Sia is an absolute doll and sweetheart. If your an avid beer drinker try the Orion beer (suggested by Sia) - we have been converted from Sapporo. We've never tried true Sashimi and we asked Sia for her opinion on the scallops (large ones) and we were not disappointed - if your an avid wasabi lover this is true wasabi flavor added onto it! Our top 2 rolls for the night was the Baja which was absolutely fresh and delicious - 2nd was the Fantasy! You must end the night with the Fantasy roll as it just caps the night off with amazing flavor and fullness!

Kyo Sushi catered a large event for us, and they truly went above and beyond. The food was incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious — we received so many compliments from our guests. Their team made feeding over 200 people feel completely manageable and surprisingly affordable. The Kyo Sushi team was professional, attentive, and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you’re in Redlands or the surrounding area, I highly recommend them for any catering needs. You won’t be disappointed!
