29/08/2026: The restaurant has been closed for several months, unfortunately!

03/05/2026: Excellent all-you-can-eat restaurant with delicious food. Definitely worth a return visit.

12/07/2026: We loved it! It was delicious and the portions were generous. We'll definitely recommend it.

23/06/2026: A mixed tuna and salmon chirashi: the portions were ridiculously small (I even asked if it was supposed to be an appetizer), the fish was bland, the tuna was like cotton, and the rice was tasteless (where did the vinegar go?). Unlike other sushi restaurants, soup and salad weren't included. The sauce was an extra charge (outrageous!), adding another hidden cost: no ginger and no wasabi. In short, a bare-bones chirashi, nothing but the bare bones, for €14.90. Needless to say, I was furious. And when I expressed my surprise, I almost got yelled at. In short, avoid at all costs.

19/08/2026: It had been a long time since a restaurant had disappointed me this much! First, I went to the restroom. In my family, we say that this reflects the hygiene of the kitchen... I wondered if I should just leave the restaurant immediately... Then, knowing that everyone at the table had to order either the à la carte menu or the all-you-can-eat menu, but being vegetarian, I didn't want to bother my friend, so we ordered the all-you-can-eat menu. Avocado sushi wasn't included in the all-you-can-eat menu, even though it was on the regular menu (and cheaper than salmon sushi, which was). It was impossible to get avocado sushi without paying for it separately. They're within their rights, but it's really bad business practice... I didn't get wasabi with my maki rolls, unlike my friend. During the second course, I pointed out that they had forgotten to bring me dessert for the first course and that I wanted it... they forgot again. The restaurant closes at 11:00 PM, and at 10:12 PM we were told that the kitchen would be closing soon, our last chance to order... of course, they didn't offer us dessert. The floor was practically swept over our feet while we were still seated. And I haven't even mentioned the air conditioning blasting directly onto the first table we were offered, or the staff's lack of friendliness... The restaurant business isn't for everyone.

10/08/2026: ⭐ Very disappointed, and yet we were regular customers. We used to come to Sushi Kyo regularly, especially because we love their chirashi. Unfortunately, after our last experience, we won't be going back. We came for a family meal with our daughters. Some wanted the all-you-can-eat option and others wanted to order à la carte. We were then told that everyone at a table had to choose the same option. Fine: even though it bothered us since we had come to eat as a family, we accepted the rule and decided to sit at two separate tables, slightly apart. But that still wasn't enough. We were asked to completely separate ourselves from our daughters and sit far enough apart from each other in the restaurant. In short: either we agreed to eat our family meal separately, or we left. So we left. I can perfectly understand a restaurant implementing rules to prevent an all-you-can-eat meal from being shared with someone who ordered à la carte. What I don't understand is how a rule presented as applying to "the entire table" ends up meaning that a family seated at two different tables must be completely separated within the restaurant. Especially since Sushi Kyo isn't just an all-you-can-eat restaurant: it also has an à la carte menu, and it was precisely for this menu, and particularly their excellent chirashi bowls, that we were regular customers. It's a real shame because we really enjoyed their food. But asking parents who have come to eat with their children to separate completely within the restaurant or to leave is a way of treating customers that we don't accept. We will therefore not be returning.

06/04/2026: I was surprised to see the restaurant empty, for my part it is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Montpellier but the price is a bit expensive compared to the competition (I'm not talking about the buffets).

23/12/2025: The best sushi in Montpellier, in the 20 years I've known it.

26/08/2026: Excellent restaurant! Everything is fresh and high quality. I've been going there for years, and the change of ownership went almost unnoticed because the quality is still consistently high.

16/07/2026: It's a pleasant discovery. The food, the welcome, and the service are excellent.

06/09/2026: Cozy atmosphere, beautifully decorated Asian style, friendly and discreet owner, impeccable service, and excellent food! I highly recommend it; not going would be a crime.

30/08/2026: Wow, we didn't even make it through the door! There was a male stood in the doorway as we were looking for somewhere to stop close to the river cruise. He was very rude, and obviously not a fan of non-native people. After I said hello, he proceeded to explain to me how to greet someone in French, and was very unfriendly. We went elsewhere. I can see why the place was empty.....

15/09/2026: The fish and maki were not fresh, and the pieces of fish were almost non-existent and cut too thinly.

21/07/2026: It's a shame there aren't any negative or zero-star reviews. Personally, we had an experience that doesn't even deserve one star… The sushi was tiny and ridiculous, the food took forever to arrive, and the cashier/manager, who was uncultured and rude, was yelling in front of everyone. The management was completely chaotic. I won't be going back and strongly advise against it.

21/08/2026: I had a voucher with them, which was about to expire. It was impossible to contact them by phone or email.

22/07/2026: I very rarely leave negative reviews for restaurants. I prefer to highlight the ones I've truly enjoyed. But this time, my disappointment was so great that after much hesitation, I finally decided to share my experience. It's undoubtedly all the greater because I lived in Japan and am very familiar with its culture and the politeness that characterizes it. That's why I never imagined that, having reserved a table at this restaurant, I would be greeted so rudely, especially by a Japanese woman! The reason given, at least ostensibly, was that the kitchen was about to close and that I therefore needed to hurry and place my order. However, I had reserved a table, and what's more, it wasn't even the last available slot. The food was good, but it wasn't enough to make up for my disappointment. As I was leaving, I even tried to say "see you soon" in Japanese, but I only received a strange and hostile look in return. What a shame. I certainly do not recommend this restaurant and I have no intention of ever going back.

13/01/2026: Excellent meal! The buffet is served at the table and is of excellent quality; the servers are very pleasant.

30/12/2025: An absolutely perfect experience from start to finish! I ate with a friend and we were both very satisfied. The welcome is warm and professional; you immediately feel at ease. The dishes are delicious, prepared with quality ingredients and presented with care. Every bite is a true pleasure; the flavors are perfectly balanced. The service is attentive without being intrusive, with a smiling and helpful team. Excellent value for money for a place I recommend without hesitation. I will definitely be back!

26/01/2026: New owner, new kitchen, and most importantly, new prices! For that price (€17-€24), go to Pacific Gaillard or Saint Julien. (Otherwise, Vénissieux-Lyon if you're willing to make the trip, but it's worth it.) It's an all-you-can-eat buffet, but you only get one regular naan. The people sitting next to us were given a cheese naan without even asking... It's served at random. And it's not even good. I won't be back, and this review is for those who, like me, were thinking, "Let's give it a try." Absolutely not!

11/12/2025: The young man at the reception is very friendly and the food is super good! I recommend the restaurant, great find.

27/03/2026: Before writing this review, I sent an email (no reply) and a message through the website (no reply). Here is the message I sent: Hello, I placed an order for over €30 which I picked up yesterday evening at 7:50 PM on March 9th. Unfortunately, the fish was spoiled, the sushi was sharp, the salad was wilted—in short, the entire order was inedible. This ruined our evening, and we had to improvise another meal. I request a refund or some form of compensation. If we cannot find an amicable solution, I will have to leave reviews on Google and TripAdvisor and inform the DGCCRF (French Directorate General for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control). Thank you for your understanding and prompt reply. ---- My partner suffered from food poisoning the next day—so, for me, never again, and I will inform my friends and neighbors.

27/01/2026: I received a very warm welcome and ordered the lunch menu with skewers and California rolls. The fish portion was noticeably more generous than other sushi I've tried. The miso soup was delicate and mild, and the cabbage salad was perfectly seasoned. The skewers are definitely worth the trip.

05/09/2026: Excellent service, and good food

17/08/2026: Hello, I had two lemongrass soups delivered with shrimp ravioli and two portions of salmon. The food was very tasty and generous—five large ravioli in the soup, we definitely got our money's worth. However, the service was just okay. The delivery driver, although very friendly, delivered to the street instead of to your door. You should tell customers: "Delivery to your street." I know it's a flat rate for both dine-in and delivery, but it would be great if the driver actually came to the door. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic. Thank you so much, Sushis, and best of luck to your team!

01/08/2026: I don't think it could get any worse in terms of taste and hygiene. Allergen standards aren't being met either, which is very dangerous since I ended up with shrimp in a "cheese fritter".

25/06/2026: The restaurant wasn't even full, but we waited almost an hour to receive a few pieces of sushi and a tuna chirashi that, moreover, was completely lacking in presentation. When it was time to leave, I asked to take the remaining chirashi to go. I was then asked to transfer the contents of the dish myself into a Tupperware container. Clearly, takeout orders were given priority over dine-in customers. Despite this excessive wait and disappointing service, no apology was offered, and no compensation was provided. I will never go back.

17/08/2026: Always good, always fresh, with a smile, never a mistake, it's five stars.

05/07/2026: A simple and effective place. Small outdoor terrace, cool indoors.

27/02/2026: Closed without any indication or explanation… perhaps permanently

22/02/2026: Very good, fast service, easy to access, in terms of quality nothing to complain about, a warm welcome.
