KIYO Japanese Cuisine — Restaurant in Arcadia

Summary: They didn't bring out 3 out of 5 of our orders with in twenty five minutes of ordering. There was no real apology as we canceled the missing three orders and left.

The details: 5 of us arrived and this place was empty or almost empty. Two or three waitresses were standing there to greet us and two or the sushi chefs were behind the bar. We ordered two ramens, two katsu don rice bowls, and one b.s.c. roll. The two ramen came quickly. However, twenty five minutes after ordering, our B.S.C. and katsu dons didn't arrive. Three out of five of us were sitting around, watching the two others finish their meals and not one of the waitresses noticed? Not one of them saw that more than half of the people at table had no food yet? I asked them to check at about the twenty minute mark. About five minutes later, at around the 25 minute mark, we asked to cancel the others. This is when the waitress asked if we still wanted the b.s.c. that was almost done being made. Wow. They should have put a rush on our orders and maybe given us a bowl of edamame to calm our hunger but that didn't seem like a possibility to these people. What really bothers me is that this place was half full, at best, and no one checked on us the whole time. I had to flag them down each time. We got a simple apology from one or two of the waitresses as we were leaving but each felt insincere. I don't know who f'd up our orders or what happened but frankly, I don't care. A sincere apology probably would have gone a long way with us today but we didn't get that either.

I wouldn't come back here. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time and risk the bad experience, ruined...

Highlights of Our Visit:

Uni Tofu: The sea urchin and tofu combination is nothing short of perfection. A must-try for anyone who appreciates fine flavors.

Sea Bass Sashimi: We enjoyed this dish at a special price of $25 (down from $32) by showing a specific post. The sea bass can be prepared two ways: as sashimi or fried, making it a versatile and delicious choice.

Sea Urchin, Conch, and Oyster Combo: A stunning platter that showcases the freshness and quality of their seafood.

Sweet Shrimp: These were a highlight! The shrimp can be prepared two ways, and the fried shrimp head adds an extra crunch that’s absolutely delightful.

Sashimi Combo: Perfectly cut, fresh, and flavorful.

Sea Bass: Another hit on the menu that’s not to be missed.
