My husband became seriously ill with food poisoning after dining at this restaurant on 4/6/25. We are confident the cause was the sushi rolls only he ate. I attempted to contact them the following morning to inform them, but the call went straight to a voicemail box that was full. It’s especially disappointing because our family has enjoyed meals here in the past—it’s always felt like a welcoming neighborhood spot. Unfortunately, after this experience, we won’t be returning.

We had dinner at Kyosho’s with my family and we had a horrible experience.

There was one inexperienced waitress serving around 9 tables with little to no additional help. She didn’t know the dishes she was bringing out and she misnamed them so it was very confusing for the individuals in our party to get the food we ordered. She brought one dinner to the wrong person before the appetizers so we didn’t realize it was for the wrong person until after. Then she put another order wrong and tried to push that one on us. She brought the wrong miso soups out and the wrong number. She didn’t clear the table before bringing the dessert.

The manager was there and did almost nothing to help. I asked the manager a question about our dish and she left and never came back.

Then the waitress brought the bill out left the machine without telling us the tip was already included.

It was the worst experience I’ve had in over 20 years.

Very nice and cosy interior for a Japanese restaurant. Had the salmon roll with avocado which had yuzu sauce. This was nice and light and is recommended. The tempura udon was a sizeable dish. However, the udon soup was too salty. Overall a nice place for dinner.

Chefs inside really understand what is a good Japanese food. The mustard is freshly ground, and the soy sauce is also specially added with sake and whiskey. But in fact, the sushi and sashimi produced by the chef have been seasoned and slightly added with mustard, so they can be eaten directly, and they are super delicious.

Unlike other popular Japanese restaurants, many of its dishes are exclusively created. What you think is eel rice is actually eel clay pot rice, juicy, and there is also burnt rice! Can you believe that ordinary edamame is actually scooped with truffles? Even sea urchins, I ate three different ways in one meal. Every taste is top-notch. Simple wagyu udon, in fact, every grain of wagyu is the essence, crispy on the outside and has the delicate and juicy taste of wagyu itself. According to the chef, each piece of wagyu has Japanese birth certificate to ensure the authenticity of the source, and I am too lazy to count how many A's there are. The soup base is also homemade pork bone soup, and no pre-made soup bags are used.

Loved the whole dining experience. The Omakase Nigiri started with a Prawn Miso Soup, followed by fresh and well-prepared sushi. We had two rolls together with a bottle of warm Sake as well.

Such amazing food. It's a cozy place with some really unique stuff. The specials change frequently, seasonal, and the fish is very fresh.

I recently visited Kyosho for lunch, and while the sushi rolls were pretty good, I was disappointed by the sashimi and nigiri, which lacked freshness. Surprisingly, the restaurant was completely empty, which made the rushed service even more odd. The server seemed eager to bring our check, making the experience feel unwelcoming. Unfortunately, to top it off, I ended up with a stomach ache after the meal. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend Kyosho based on my experience—there are better options out there for sushi.

I liked this Japanese place ?.
Everything was absolutely fresh and tasty. I enjoyed a delicious Nigiri Combination, and my husband had the Salmon Misoyaki. The only small issue for my husband was the portion size, which was about half of the regular amount. ?

**Warning:**

After posting a 1-star review, I received three calls from the restaurant and nonstop "No Caller ID" calls,
Mostly after midnight.
This is completely unprofessional and unacceptable.

I am currently traveling, but if this harassing behavior continues, I may pursue legal action upon my return.

Here's what happened: I went for a quick lunch and placed a phone order with Tina, the woman with yellow hair. She was rude, answering the phone with a simple "Hello" and then hanging up abruptly without any proper etiquette.

When we picked up our order, everything seemed fine until Tina started providing terrible service. We asked for soy sauce, and she insisted it was already in the bag--it wasn't. This forced us to turn around and return to the restaurant. There was no apology for the inconvenience--just poor customer service all around.

No one wants to deal with your miserable behavior!
