Small but cozy sushi bar with a few tables during limited hours. I called in for takeout and the lady who greeted me was kind both on the phone and in person. I loved the casual and intimate feel of patrons being served by the chef at the bar. Fish was fresh, flavors/ prices on point, and will be my sushi fix when I'm in the area! read more

Kiyora Sushi offers fresh and delicious Japanese food to the Redlands community. My family ordered multiple items as takeaway: Las Palmas sushi sets, a variety of lunch combos featuring mixed tempura and Crunch and California rolls, with a Yellowtail Kama dish. I suggest checking availability of Yellowtail Kama in advance due to supplies being limited. My order filled quickly over the phone and hot when I came to pick it up. The ambiance in the small restaurant was warm and inviting. The food was delicious and I will come back to bring family and friends. read more

Excellent sashimi and nigiri. Miso soup is one of the best I've had. Great service, too.

Ordered takeout and had a pleasant experience! Ordered the dragon roll and baked salmon roll, plus a chicken bowl. The food was ready for us when we arrived. Although we didn't dine in, the place looked so nicely decorated and clean. We were pretty much the only people and the employee was very nice and attentive. Great spot to try out! read more

The sushi was delicious, super fresh.. and the service was excellent. Nice little restaurant and would definitely recommend

Kiyora Sushi is special on so many levels. The food is flavorful, the sushi is fresh and the service is exceptional. The atmosphere is quiet, personal and authentic. While there are a few good sushi options in the Inland Empire, Kiyora's is my favorite. Do yourself a favor and let Kiyora's experienced sushi chef assemble a variety of quality, authentic, sushi selections that you will thoroughly enjoy. Check the hours before you go. read more

Still my favorite place for sushi that's close by. They do have in seating hours so check before you head over. we go Saturday's for lunch for dine in. But most of the time we go for the to go. It can take a while to make the sushi so make sure you call in almost 30-45 mins before you want it :) they're so nice read more

They are great for a lunch time sit down. But they don't offer dinner seating anymore which is sad since it used to be our favorite place.

The rolls are so fresh and delicious. Our favorites are the spider toll, jackpot roll and the volcano roll. Make sure you check the times of operation. We keep forgetting that and so we walk in when they are close and will serve only food to go. Despite that, we keep coming back for more. read more

Food was amazing. Prices were good for vegetarian -- a little higher for the sushi, but I suppose that is expected. The place is small but that is OK. The only thing that was a little strange was not being able to sit at a table for dinner. I would have preferred being able to do that versus at the sushi bar. Other than that, everything was very good and the service was good as well. read more

Delicious food, friendly service! Food was phenomenal! I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and a long wait at the restaurant at the corner of the center had us finally give it a shot. Glad we did! We had the seaweed salad, garlic edemame, firecracker and hot night role. Out of this world! Flavor was full and so much depth, beautiful presentation as well. Will definitely be returning, found my new favorite sushi spot! read more

The sushi here is delicious but a few things make this restaurant a hassle to eat at. The good: I love their salmon skin hand roll. It's crispy with a good amount of char and sauce. I also love that they have no rice rolls like their Sakura roll (I usually get it with salmon instead of tuna). The bad: they only serve lunch and are very strict about their seating time. If you ask for extra sauce when there isn't enough, you will not get it. The restaurant is pretty small. read more

Came here tonight for dinner take out as they aren't open to eat inside during dinner hours. I drive from Yucaipa so was worried it wouldn't stay fresh but was pleasantly surprised that the rolls held up with presentation and taste despite the 30 minute commute. I am pretty picky when it comes to sushi because my palate isn't super advanced and I only like certain fish but the Amber and Red Dragon rolls were 10/10 for me. I would definitely come here again. read more

I won't go anywhere else. I moved out of state and still make sure to go as often as possible when I come back to visit. So good!

Drove 15 miles to eat here at 7:25pm when they state they close at 8:30pm and refused to sit us down.. just a party of 2!.. change your hours of operation and you also lost my business permanently for the rude manner you shooed us away. read more

The food here is fantastic! The sashimi was excellent. The Cajun salmon is amazing. The garlic edamame was delicious. The chef is amazing!! Quiet ambiance, soft music. Highly recommended read more

This establishment has some of the best sushi in the area! I absolutely adore their baked salmon roll but their other rolls are just as tasty! Very cute little spot read more

Delicious, and the owners a very pleasant! The are takeout only for dinner, which works well for me.

If you've seen my last review from last year, you'll know this place was starting to grow on me. And now, I can absolutely say that I enjoy eating here. The rolls are good. A couple of that owns this place are pretty much the only employees here, and they are very pleasant. The lady who served us was super cute, made a few jokes and offered good suggestions. We will definitely be back! Just something to note - they are open for dining in house only for lunch. They're open until the evening, but after 2:30 PM it's takeout only per the signs that are hanging in the restaurant. Hopefully that changes and dinner becomes an option. read more

Service was good. Food is ok. Nothing special. I wouldn't come again. But it's ok. Could be fresher. Better menu pictures.

Did a to go order (no dining in after a certain hour), and the order was correct, fish was fresh. Got a baked salmon roll which was really good, as well as a roll that had tempura onion on top (I don't remember what it was), and that was a favorite. Ask for chopsticks, it's not automatically in the bag. read more

The quality of the sushi at this restaurant is above reproach; and the Sushi Master's presentation of all of the food was very beautiful and artful. My husband and I went to this restaurant on a Friday night for dinner. We live in Riverside, but we were in Redlands, and tried this place based on its phenomenal reviews... The reviews understate how wonderful this place is and doesn't do it justice!! The food and service were so great that we drove back to Redlands for dinner at the same restaurant the very next night! We ordered the Rose, Jackpot, Kokomi, and Sushi Bomb... everything looked and tasted phenomenal!! It was so good. I even forgot to take pictures on both nights. The couple that owns the restaurant is lovely to speak with... And indeed he is a true sushi master! I haven't had sushi this fresh in a very long time. Although there are many sushi restaurants in Riverside closer to home, we will definitely be coming back to this restaurant again and again! One thing to note and be prepared for: I believe that at this time the restaurant is only taking orders for takeout or/pick up. On both nights that we came, there was no dining in the dining room. But I encourage anyone that is a sushi lover to come to this place and have a sushi picnic in the park. Even if you can't dine in... They are well worth the drive! One more thing: they probably have some of the most reasonable prices that I have seen on sushi, regardless of quality... And the bonus with this place is that they are absolutely excellent! read more

Delicious sushi! I got the red dragon roll and the baked salmon rolls. Both were wonderful. Found it off they don't do dine in in the vending, but I imagine they must get pretty busy and their seating is limited, so takeout does the job. Cute little restaurant though. Looks like something in a movie. The staff here doesn't provide much service, but they are not rude or anything. Sides of sauces cost money, and if you need utensils, let them know. They don't come standard with the orders. read more

Very tasty Sushi and service was great! Took some coworkers and they enjoyed the foo we I'll definitely come back here to explore the menu more !! Nice job Kiyora team ! read more

Tasty, fresh sushi. Wish they had dine in, the only down side is that they ONLY OFFER TO GO orders for the afternoon

Was very excited to try another somewhat local sushi spot near Yucaipa, especially when it's receiving tons of high ratings. Guess my particular day just wasn't up to par? This spot can't seem to maintain their sushi chefs so there's lack of staffing and literally the only ones running it are the owners themselves. That's why there's currently only takeout and no in-house meal option. Baked salmon roll is my favorite roll and the Yelp photos looked so enticing, so we stopped by and hoped this spot would satisfy my baked salmon craving! Buuut, unfortunately it did not. The baked salmon roll had tons of imitation crab and, to be quite frank, it tasted like a typical california roll with barely any salmon on top. Hardly any sauce for savory baked salmon roll bites. Although I asked for a good amount of ginger and wasabi since we ordered 3 baked salmon rolls - just enough ginger and wasabi was provided for the amount of 1 roll. As a particular sushi bandit eater... not a good idea to go cheap on the ginger and wasabi. Not a good idea at all. My wife tried their Bunker roll - this also didn't satisfy her craving. Sometimes further from home isn't better, as our local sushi spots (e.g., Calimesa) are much better compared to what we ate today at this Redlands spot. Or could it be simply because they don't have a sushi chef? Not quite sure, probably multifactorial. To top it off, I was simply taking photos as I usually would to post on Yelp and ended up getting yelled at by the older gentlemen behind the sushi counter?! I was taking a photo of the sushi counter with the line of glistening, delicious fish ingredients when the older gentlemen, who I bet is the owner, just happened to be there preparing our food. He ended up going off that I need to ask his permission when taking a photo of him and that it's illegal - so sorry! I just care about foodie pics, nothing else! I did ask for his permission after he stated it, but he kept going and I think his pride was off the chart already so best to just let it go. My first time here and definitely the last, unfortunately! Why 2 stars? It's easy to tell they're going through some hardships with stress being a huge factor, so I'm not going to hit below the belt with a 1 star review. The ambience, if they ever decide to open up for indoor service again after hiring a sushi chef, is actually very classy and is easily wonderful for a quick lunch, night out, or dinner date. The space is very small inside so I wouldn't go with a large party or family. The sushi rolls themselves are average, nothing special, and I could tell they went cheap with the baked salmon rolls (orderd 3!!) thanks to the huge amount of imitation crab. Sadly the "flavor" we experienced today was on par with sushi served at a buffet. Overall it's a good spot for locals nearby for a quick "to go" order. Otherwise, not worth it for those driving out of their way and would be better off at buffets or sticking to your local sushi spot. Don't be hard on the old couple as they're doing their very best to run their sushi spot single handedly. Better yet - if you're a local and eat here often, support them regularly and have your friends and coworkers order sushi here! Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect to have any sit down meals here any time soon. read more

We tried Kiyora for the first time last week during lunch time when they offer dine in. It's a small place with just a couple of workers that were working hard to serve full house. The service was quick and the food was great! We were surprised how much we enjoyed our meal. We finished everything and left satisfied. We will return. read more

Kiyora Sushi - My handsome tinder date lol we got married - Sushi Bars Near Me - Redlands, California

Monday. Noon ish. Very quiet. Just enough customers to keep it quaint so we didn't have to yell at each other from across the table. We're not from the area but will definitely stop by the next time we're in town. Inside/outside: Lots of parking. Inside is very cute and small. Roughly 4-6 tables. Dark ambience. As previous reviews mentioned, it's run by husband and wife team (?). They're operating on limited hrs so I'd call before going. It was currently opened until 2:30pm for dine in and then take-out only until closing at 8:30pm. Food: Amber Roll (tempura), Lobstino Roll (baked), and we can't remember the name of the 3rd roll. Everything was yummy!!! read more
