KIYO Japanese Cuisine

My friends picked this restaurant to get dinner on a random weekday night and I had mixed feelings on the quality of their food. But the minute they brought out the sashimi platter, I knew everything else would be amazing! We were curious about their special lobster sashimi on the menu and ordered it. They brought out the head that was still moving along with the sashimi part of this lobster on a platter. It's just the muscle memory that makes the lobster head to move. If this is still on the menu when you visit, it's a must try!! I love how the menu is on the ipad and the layout was super easy to navigate. The minute I saw ankimo on the menu, I had to order it because not a lot of places have it. I love how they served with a side of season, seaweed, and cucumbers! The Wagyu Shabu Shabu was the main star of our dinner. This was literally just melt in your mouth deliciousness that I can eat every day if money was not an issue. That experience was 5 stars! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a cozy dinner and quality food + service without having to dress up because it's a casual ambiance. Check them out while they still have the lobster sashimi special!

Didn’t expect much but turned out to be one of the best meal I’ve had in LA. Seriously they have very good Wagyu A5 shabu shabu and live lobster!! The wagyu literally melts in the mouth. It’s the best shabu shabu I’ve had so far. The portion is quite small, though, but that’s expected from the price of the grade A5 I guess. For sushi, the Toro parts are what I would order again. Great service! Lovely vibe!

I love Japanese food and I found a treasure Japanese food shop in Arcadia, it's one of those small exquisite Japanese food shops! They have certified A5 beef shabushabu， just look at the texture to see how delicious it is, and with a glass of Japanese craft beer In addition to A5 wagyu beef, there is also a USDA option, which comes with vegetable platters and tahini Ponzu! sushi are very fresh and sea urchins are so sweet. Must try Sweet shrimp, salmon bally. This live scollop really good ingredients to eat out

One of the best sushi shops in town, it offers the freshest sushi, and special hand rolled . The best roll I recommend is dragon roll, inside consist of imitate crab meat and topping off with avocado and dipped inside sides of house special sauce. I came during the night time, and the special today was their Shabu Shabu, with the weather getting cold, highly recommend to get the Shabu Shabu as they offer variety of meat ranging from A5 Japanese wagyuuu to American ribeyes. Highly recommend everyone to try their A5 Japanese wagyuuu, it melts in your mouth and very sweet.

Outstanding quality all around.

I was searching for a sushi dinner with my friends. Luckily I found this place. We had the rainbow roll dragon roll. All the rolls were pretty good. I enjoyed the sushi more than I expected. The unagi was soft and full of flavor and topped on a warm bed of rice. The scallops were good and so were the other sashimi! A delicious and filling meal!

Been here twice and both times didn't disappoint. Had the unagi for the first visit and it was a hefty portion. Tried the premium chirashi and that was the best I've had . Nice little hidden gem in Arcadia. Clean and fresh food.

Best sushi in Arcadia. Lunch special is amazing. Chirashi bowl is off the charts good.
