Sushi is very good here. Was told it was quite pricey (i didn't look at the bill) but the food is better than other places nearby in Richmond. They lose a star because our server forgot our drinks and whatever else we asked for sometimes. It's a very busy place tho, so I guess it would be hard to remember everything. All their rolls are excellent. Their sashimi is so fresh!! Loved the geoduck!! (Some restaurants don't have it super fresh so it can taste fishy or have u bolt for the washroom within 15 mins of eating it.) I highly recommend this place. Very clean and very good quality sushi.

I really love the quality and cut of the fish here! This is easily the best sushi you can get in Richmond and the quality proves it! The Mirugai (geoduck), Uni (sea urchin's insides), and saba are fantastic sashimi choices (or you can just get a great sashimi combo platter...several to choose from if I can remember). I also am a fan of the rolls; if you are in the mood for a variety of rolls, get the Kiyo platter. It has quite a variety of things that just about anyone would find outstanding.
We still haven't been here for lunch....I don't find myself out on that side of town all that much. But, when I do get out there, its on the top of the list. Oh, by the way, the staff is great. They are friendly and are pretty quick. This place is busy! If it gets any busier, though, I think they might all collapse from exhaustion.Listed in: Japanese Food, My Two Cents…

Lacking Consistency!!!!
I was at Kiyo late in the summer, I thought it was one of the better sushi restaurtants in Richmond. I was in the area so took a guest to Kiyo the other night. We were disappointed!!!
Expensive, small portions, and generally poor quality and mediorcre service.
Based on my RECENT outing. I would not recommend Kiyo Sushi.1 Previous Review: Show all »

* Crappy service, but decent fish *
I have mixed emotions about this place.
I had the "Kiyo lunch special."
It included:
- a small chirashi, which had fish that was EXTREMELY thinly sliced but was very fresh. I prefer thicker slices, but still 4 stars.
- zaru soba, which for some reason was presented with the noodles being cut into really small pieces. 1 star.
- tempura, which was slightly too greasy for my taste. 2 stars.
The service itself stunk. It took about 10 minutes to get greeted at the door to be seated and another 10 minutes to get a menu. Then about 15 minutes to put in an order after trying to flag down 3 different waitrons. Then another 25 minutes for the food to arrive. Then 15 minutes trying to flag down the waitrons to pay, and I finally gave up and walked up to what looked like the station where they do the bills. 1 star.
So overall at least the fish was fresh! But I won't be returning.Listed in: Vancouver Japanese Food

This is the best sushi restaurant in Richmond. It's always packed and the decor is quite plain with tables packed close together. However, this is the best quality sushi and sashimi in Richmond. The food is authentic and thankfully does not have that horrible all you can eat vibe that's at most of the other places in town.
I love their premium assorted sushi and sashimi plates - they have higher end fishes and are worth the splurge in my opinion compared to the regular assortments. I think their weakness is the rolls. They are a little heavy on the rice at times, but this is my favorite place to go. Reasonable price. They do not have the "trendy" items which I think allows them to really focus on the fish. -

Authentic sushi lunches!! We come here once in awhile for lunch during the workday lunches. It's always busy (with a line up), so we come a bit later to ensure seats. This place is traditionally decorated, with simple wood tables and chairs, nothing fancy.
Their prices are a little higher that usual, but the quality of food makes it worth it. I usually get their sashimi box, which includes yakitori, rolls, sashimi, prawn croquette, and grilled salmon belly, which also comes with miso soup. Sashimi is fresh, croquette done perfectly, yakitori is juicy, and everything else just tastes great! It makes the rest of my work day that much better!!
Service is efficient, and food arrives quickly. They cater to many business people during the lunch hour so they are quite good at this. Just be prepared to wait a bit for a table, but once seated, explore the many choices on their menu and you won't be disappointed!!Listed in: Lunching in Richmond

I've been going to Kiyo Sushi for about ten years now, and I feel very confident recommending it to sushi fans. It's NOT an all you can eat place, instead, it's a genuine Japanese family restaurant. The menu is excellent and there is something for everyone. The atmosphere is really nice too. The booths make for a cozy meal and are fun for kids. Overall I find the place very clean and comfortable.
I've heard from some friends that the quality of the food has declined over the years and I agree to a point, however, I still think the quality of food is a lot better than the majority of Japanese restaurants in Richmond. I think it's hard for small restaurants to maintain their excellent food quality when they become so busy all time (and they remain busy for a reason; the food is great).
I consider it one of Richmond's best kept secrets, in fact, I think that Cambie Plaza, the plaza where Kiyo is located is a hidden gem of its own. There is an amazing Indian restaurant, as well as one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. Definitely worth checking out. :) -

This is one of the very few and rare sushi restaurants in Richmond that is actually owned and ran by a Japanese. It's a short drive from my work so I've been here for lunch too. This is also the first Japanese restaurant we went to the first week we moved to Vancouver... and I have to say, YUMs. Good value, fresh yummy sashimi.. decent Vancouver service.
Great lunch specials and they have those fun little booths that make for groups. Be wary.. there's quite a line sometimes. Save room for dessert and head to the Diary Queen across the parking lot instead. -

Review from Spencer W.

I've been going to Kiyo for years. I've worked down the street on Cambie for the last 16 years and have been here a few times for lunch...many hundred more times for dinner - generally when I'm too lazy to cook. I stopped going for a bit when my daughter was born but have now started going back because it's a great place for kids - well...they don't seem to mind the kids.
Sushi is fresh. Though I've had better quality. I've had marginally better value but oddly, all outside of Richmond and I'm not willing to drive that far for a spur-of-the-moment-don't-feel-like-cooking meal. This is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Richmond.
They are authentic Japanese here. Which is a must - thus no all you can eat garbage quality. One thing I've noticed over the years is their price and how it's gone up steadily. I can't see them going much higher...check that...I guess they can but value right now is right on the cusp of being not worth it. You can get more bang for your buck at Gyoza King right now but GK has no sushi.
Anyway, the service, the food, the atmosphere (for kids), keeps my coming back. If you plan to go on a prime night, make a res. If you go on a Saturday night, the Chinese restaurant next door tends to have weddings or something...and parking becomes impossible so be prepared to walk. -

After reading all the reviews, I have to agree, yes this is a good place, not only for sushi, but for the other stuff too. I like their maguro yamakake for instance. I only had one tiff about the waitress that wasn't Japanese and she was pretty abrubt and rude. It may have been a bad night for her. The food is very good with alot of variety.

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the Richmond/Vancouver area. I first noticed this restaurant when driving by and I saw a Japanese wedding reception being held there. I thought, "Food can't be that bad if they're serving at a wedding!"
The sashimi is always fresh and I love the prawn gyozas. I always try to make a visit here whenever I'm back in town.
