New sushi restaurant opens at former Coldstone Creamery location in a McMinnville shopping center on 99W .
Below is story from the Sept. 23, 2013, Review,
Linfield College student newspaper. The restaurant's first day of operation was
Nov. 2, 2013 (not in October), when Mac News took these photos. (Oh, by the
way, this restaurant is so close to Starbucks in the same shopping center (Albertson's is the anchor tenant) that
you can pick up Starbucks’ wifi signal.

McMinnville is getting a new slice of Japanese
culture as a new sushi restaurant aims to open its door by October.
Sushi Kyo Express has taken up occupancy in the
strip of businesses across the parking lot from Albertson’s, at 887 SW Keck Dr.
After eight years and two other locations in
Salem, the business owner’s decided to branch out to McMinnville.
“When we were driving around we saw the college
and right here, [there wasn’t] any sushi places,” Elvis Yan said. “We decided
to come here and give it a try.”
Sushi Kyo is family owned, according to Yan. As
part of the family, Yan explained that the manager of McMinnville’s SushiKyo
has not been chosen, but it will be decided before opening in October.
“We’re trying to [open] by the first week of next
month,” Yan said. “If that does not happen, we’ll [try] for some time in
October.”
According to their website, “at Sushi Kyo,
[their] goal is to provide people with healthy and delicious foods,” and “[the]
atmosphere is tranquil and inviting, and our staff is courteous and
knowledgeable about the menu selections. We treat our staff like a family so
that in return, they treat our customers with respect and are eager to please,”
Yan said.
The food at Sushi Kyo features traditional
Japanese cuisine as well as some sushi rolls with a new twist. The price ranges
from $1.35 to $2.45 for sushi available from the conveyor belt bar. They also
sell party platters for $37.95 to $52.60. Sushi Kyo also has a selection of non-sushi
items so that anyone can enjoy.
While the restaurant is under construction, the
owners declined access inside.
“We want it be a surprise for everyone,” Yan
said.
The restaurant’s website features a blog,
featuring the business’s updates, short articles on sushi and where coupons are
available.
