Kyosho

Astonishingly good sushi in a very intimate and architectural interesting environment.The sashimi was melt in your mouth. Beautifully cut, just the right size, and elegantly served. I absolutely will come back here, worth the trip from North of 92. Great spot!

This is Japanese restaurant but is not authentic at all.*Sashimi was cut the way too thick.*tonkatsu was totally wrong, they don't use bread crumble but tempura butter. This is definitely disappointing.*A waitress is very rude. When we walked in, she showed our seats with her chin.And It's very pricy, no reason to go back.

We have been going to Kyosho since it opened several years ago. And we have been enjoying it. But not tonight. Pretty much everything we ordered was disappointing. The agidoshi tofu was served cold. The charamouchi had almost nothing in it except custard. The service stunk. I asked for more wasabi (which, by the way, was pretty tasteless) and ended up having to go to the counter to get it. And the total cost of the alchohol we had was $6. And guess what the bill was? For two of us, with tip, over $225. The waitress told us that the restaurant has a new chef. He is a disaster. We are never going back.

A boutique Japanese fusion restaurant located in downtown Menlo Park offers an exceptional dining experience. The food is remarkably fresh and beautifully presented. The pleasant ambiance shields diners from the traffic noise of El Camino Real, creating a tranquil setting.

Visited for lunch on a Friday and it wasn't busy. I ordered the Kyosho Gold Box and had to share my sashimi with my dining mate. The food was great. California roll was fresh and went down smoothly. I loved the unagi and chicken katsu. Servers were nice and food came out quick. This is a place that is quite small on the outside but inside it feels cozy and not squished.

***update***After my partner posted the review, I got so many phone calls from the restaurants and many no caller id calls at 5am in the morning. That's just insane! Stop harassing customers!-----------I called to place a take out lunch order on Wednesday. Before I called, I saw a "lunch menu" picture on yelp posted long time ago. I asked the lady over phone if they still have the lunch menu. She said we never had lunch menu. I repeated that I saw the picture on yelp. She said we never had it but we can do it now which confused me. But regardless, I ordered sashimi lunch, nigiri lunch and crazy rolls. She told me she would call me when my food is ready. The ordering experience was okay even though she was kinda impatient. When I got to the restaurant, no customer there. I told the lady (I think same lady who took my order) I'm here to pick up. She looked at me a little annoyed and said your food is not ready yet. I know you haven't called me so of course it's not ready yet. But doesn't mean I can come in and let you know I'm here and wait for my food at the restaurant. The vibe was dry. I was kinda awkward. And when my food was ready, I asked me extra ginger, wasabi and soy sauce. She didn't let me finished my request and said with annoyed face:"it's all in the bag already". Alright. Calm down. I took my bag and left. While my partner was driving, I open the bag and want to eat my food. And guess what, no soy sauce! Not a single packet! Oh I was so annoyed! Because of her attitude, it already negatively affected my anticipation to my lunch. And the missing sauce just took it to a different level. The lunch is not cheap, especially with the small portion. At least you can provide a good service. No! We had to u-turn and went back and parked and asked for soy sauce! When I went back, she didn't even apologize and she only wanted to give me two packets. We could have a great lunch and possibly become regulars. But now you just lost two customers forever.

Amazing little sushi joint in Menlo Park. Everything I had was delicious! It's a small restaurant with seating for about 24 with a sushi bar that seats 4. The toro trio was phenomenal as was the edamame with truffle salt. Also recommend The hamachi crudo & A5 wagyu tatami.

Kyosho is an absolute gem! I came here with high expectations, and they were completely surpassed. The highlight of my visit was the aka uni--incredibly fresh, creamy, and bursting with rich umami flavor. It's easily some of the best uni I've ever had, perfectly complemented by the delicate sushi rice. You can tell they take pride in sourcing top-quality ingredients.The overall dining experience was just as impressive. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making thoughtful recommendations that truly enhanced the meal. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening or a special occasion.If you're a uni lover or just appreciate exceptional sushi, Kyosho should definitely be on your list. I'll be coming back for more!

Always great sushi, great service, and a cozy dining area reminiscent of the best restaurants I've been to in Japan. The most authentic sushi experience you'll find on the peninsula.
