I had the Gourmand special and thoroughly enjoyed it. A prix fixe meal, it included an appetizer, soup, and two mains (one grilled entree and one sashimi/sushi entree). The food was superb, flavourful, and while not an overly large amount of food, it was very satisfying. The menu had an extensive selection of standard izakaya entrees as well as sashimi/sushi offerings. The service was attentive, the staff were friendly, and the food came promptly but not too soon. Overall, I found no fault with reservation. I would strongly recommend a reservation though as the place really filled fast after about 7:00 PM.

Had an amazing experience at Kyo Bar Japanois! We ordered the poke bowls and they were absolutely delicious—super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The service was outstanding as well. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance is also a great vibe—perfect for a night out or even a casual dinner. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely delicious food! Im vegan and they had plenty of options for me to enjoy and they were so good. My non-vegan friends raved about their plates as well. Amazing service and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend! There's a lot of variety and interesting tastes, the "yuhi roll" was by far my favorite. Not only was the food and ambiance very pleasant, but the service was fantastic too, thank you to our server Kathy for giving us an amazing night!

We have been looking for a fine dining sushi experience and this likely takes top spot in Montreal for us. The service was great. The food was impeccable and very impressive. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves getting various dishes to share. Additionally, as someone with many allergies, the restaurant was incredibly accommodating.

Honestly, this is so sad because the food is amazing, but the waitress was very rude and disrespectful to us. I was really disappointed.

We got the 30 piece Maki chefs special, and the calamari for food, and a Kyoto Fizz, and Taiyo. We loved everything. Both of us got to try all of the sushi, and there were no misses. The sushi was fantastic, a large variety, of tuna, salmon, cucumber, crab, and shrimp with avocado, seaweed, rice, and more. The calamari was amazing too, perfectly crispy and fried without too much. It had a deep, exquisite flavor too. The drinks were the "worst part" but they were still good. Just expensive, as is typical for cocktails though. Our server, who's name we missed, was great too. We discussed things to do in Montreal, the jazz fest, other restaurants we'd recently visited, and more. His love for Montreal and the food scene here was evident and reflects great on Kyo too. Overall, it was a great great time

We went for Valentine’s Day and it was absolutely wonderful. We chose the Valentine’s tasting menu and every single course was beautifully presented and full of flavor. From the oysters and sashimi to the perfectly cooked lamb and the heart-shaped dessert, everything felt thoughtfully curated for the occasion. The presentation was stunning, elegant, artistic, and romantic, truly worthy of a special night. The ambiance was warm and intimate, and the little details (like the rose on the table) made the evening feel even more special. The service was attentive and professional without being intrusive, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. It was the perfect place to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We left impressed and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for a date night or any special occasion.

Enjoyed a great dining experience at Kyo. Really happy with our choice to come here and try a variety of dishes and drinks. Every bite was excellent, great quality beef and the fish/sashimi were the star of the night. Worth the price for our special occasion.

The food was somewhat tasty, but it was still miserable compared to prices and rating of this restaurant. And the size of food is disappointing.

Kyo bar Japanese is among the highest-rated sushi restaurants in Montreal. However, personally, I found the sushi extremely bland and did not enjoy the food at all. The service, on the other hand, was impeccable. I’m not sure if it was an off day, but based on my experience, the sushi really did not meet my expectations.
