Kyala Japanese Restaurant, Diamond Bar

Kyala is a great japanese restaurant. The food is the best around and the owners are very nice. It is a small restaurant, but very good food. The chicken tireyaki is delicious along with the tempura. My husband loves the sushi. He says it's fresh and it melts in your mouth. We've been going to Kyala for about 8 years and we have not been disappointed once.

Yoshi, Hama and Michiko are fantastic. An example of a traditional family run sushi bar at its best. Quality fish at what one should expect to pay for the delicacies you will be treated to. A pretty good selection of good cold sake. I have eaten in many sushi bars in many places and this ranks amoung my favorites. I have eaten here regularly for several years (twice a month) and I have never had anything but a great experience. It is not large, maybe 14 at the sushi bar, so don't expect to get a fast seat even with a reservation because someone may decide to sit there for a couple of hours during peak times.

My husband and I travel quite a bit and we try Japanese restaurants everwhere we go and we have yet to find a restaurant that compares to Kyala! The service is outstanding- especially if you sit at the sushi bar. The place is small and intimate- the wait may be a bit long if you go during busy times but, it is definitely worth it. The fish is always fresh and sooo tasty! The presentation is carefully prepared and always looks wonderful - a feast for the eyes and well as the tastebuds. We have been coming here for over 8 years. Others may come close but, Kyala is still the best in our book.

In the time I have lived in Diamond Bar I have tried many restaurants but this place sticks out the most. It definitely has the best sushi, rolls, and dinner plates because it is run by actual Japanese people. Other places are run by Koreans that just don't have the touch and distinctiveness. I love going there for dinner and lunch as a treat to myself. I can guarantee no other restaurant comes close in diamond bar

The best sushi bar in Diamond Bar! Gotta try the rock n' roll Pinhead special!

My family and I have gone to Kyala for years.. Great, fresh food. Friendly attmosphere, especially when we can get seats at the sushi bar.

The sushi combination has nice variety blend of fish, the sashimi are fresh, the variety of the sashimi is very good. This is a small and busy place, dont put your hope up for pampering table services, go during lunch, you pay 20~30% less for almost the same portion as dinner. This is one of the best sushi in this town, unless you want to drive to little Tokyo.

My best friend who is Japanese has always said this restaurant was the best in Diamond Bar. I have been hearing this for years from her and finally decided to go. I got there at about 7 or so and was seated right away. The food and service were really outstanding for such a small place. The only thing I didn't care for was sitting so close to others. I like my privacy.

not well serviced. waited a while for food. food not good. judging from the good reviews in 2005, looks like the quality of the restaurant has taken a dive since.

I asked for a reservation at 7:00pm on a Saturday and the restaurant said it will be ready. I arrived at 6:45pm and they made me wait until 8:00pm to get a seat. There were seats available, but the restaurant felt that the people who waited without the reservation should be seated first and seated up as if we walked in for a table at 6:45pm. This is a very poor practice. If a restaurant take a reservation, they should honor that reservation.
