There were between eight and twelve locations, as of 2011.

In Portland, Mio has operated in northeast Portland's Hollywood neighborhood. It has also operated a shop on Hawthorne Boulevard in southeast Portland. Elsewhere in Oregon, Mio has operated in Bend and Eugene. The Bend restaurant was at the Cascade Village Mall (or Cascade Village Shopping Center). Like many restaurants, the Bend restaurant operated via delivery and take-out during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mio Sushi was a vendor at the Beaverton Arts Commission's annual Beaverton Last Tuesday series in 2011.

Mio has operated two restaurants in Seattle. The South Lake Union location opened in October 2011, and a Green Lake location opened in 2012. Elsewhere in Washington, the business has operated in Salmon Creek and Tacoma.

Reception
Mio won in the Best Sushi category of Willamette Week annual readers' poll in 2005 and 2006. The business won in the Best Sushi (Cheap) category in 2007. It was a runner-up in the Best Sushi category again in 2015, 2016, and 2017, and ranked second in the same category in 2022. In 2010, the newspaper's Casey Jarman wrote, "A good ramen bowl is hard to find in Northwest Portland, for whatever reason, and Mio does them up right."
