Delicious sushi and excellent service

Koi is my go-to sushi spot. I've been dining here since 1995 - 27 years! They've been around since 1980. Can't believe I missed out on 15 years of this fantastic restaurant. Family owned and operated. Fresh fish, not frozen. Scratch made sauces. Best sushi chefs around. Don't know what I love more - the food or the staff.

This place is great! Definitely on the pricey side, but you definitely are getting what you pay for. The wife and I are big sushi lovers, and this is one of the places we go to when we want to splurge on higher quality fish. The chefs are hilarious and fun; I recommend sitting at the bar if you want to have a nice social experience.

Koi is hands down my favorite Japanese restaurant in America. I grew up going here and the food has always been excellent. Highly recommend the ginger sesame salad, teriyaki anything, and California rolls (with real crab)

Absolutely amazing! Not only the melt in your mouth sushi, kind and welcoming staff but most of all, the other customers! What a true joy of an experience as a solo diner. I was adopted by my sushi bar mates and they guided me wonderfully!

The Japanese food is outstanding here. We had an party of four, we ordered sushi for everyone and their meals come with the traditional rice, miso soup and I think they gave us salads too. 5 stars all the way for KOI

Although this was my first time here, this was my guest's go-to Japanese Cuisine. The restaurant was packed but we were lucky to get a booth fairly quickly.Food:Sashimi Dinner plate was filled with fresh cuts of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, whitefish, and clam. It also came with a bowl of miso soup, salad, and rice. This was more than plenty to fill me.Teriyaki Salmon plate was delicious! Just the perfect amount of rice, salmon, and veggies. This meal also came with a bowl of rice, miso soup, and salad.Appetizers:Baked Mussels was delicious! The sauce was creamy and abundant. Personally, it was a little on the salty side for me, but the extra sauce made for a great dip for the fried calamari we ordered.Fried Calamari was lightly coated in tempura batter and deep fried to perfection! It was the best fried calamari I've ever had.Chawanmushi was quite delicious! This had to be ordered first since it takes about 10-15 minutes to make, but so worth the wait for!

Service was fantastic. Food tasted amazing. Price vs Portion absolutely over priced. The rolled sushi is half the size you get at other sushi spots for less money. The carpaccio way over priced for what you get. 2 people 4 small rolls and a carpaccio $85 with tip $100. If your loaded and don't mind being overcharged this place is awesome.

I saw the great reviews on google then choice this Japanese sushi restaurant. But I’m so disappointed with the food and the service.My yellow tail was stale. The texture was gooey.The service is too busy to take care such as much table. After bringing the food she has an annoying face when we ask for something event her face is under the mask.

The food itself was delicious. Had the California Roll, Crunch Roll, and Squid Nigiri. All of it was delicious but the rolls were tiny. Way too small, me and my friends had to get McDonald's afterwards cause we were hungry. I do want to get full for the amount I paid (12-14 per roll). The service was wonderful too. Just hate walking out a place still hungry.
