We visited this Japanese restaurant and ordered the sushi and sashimi boat set for two. The presentation was beautiful, and the variety of seafood—salmon, tuna, shrimp, squid, mackerel, and octopus—was impressive. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, clearly prepared with care and good-quality ingredients.
The set also included two bowls of miso soup and a pair of salads. While the soups were warm and comforting, the salads felt more like a Western-style twist and didn’t quite reflect authentic Japanese flavors.
One small letdown was the sushi rice, which lacked the slight sweetness and balanced seasoning typically expected. Additionally, the soy sauce provided was on the salty side, which slightly overpowered the more delicate pieces.
The restaurant is spacious and decorated in a traditional Japanese style, creating a peaceful and pleasant dining atmosphere. It’s run by a Japanese chef and staffed with Japanese servers, which adds an extra layer of authenticity to the overall experience.
Overall, it was an enjoyable meal, and with a few small improvements, it could be a fantastic spot for sushi lovers.

Small restaurant sushi with Japanese chef. The food is great and the waitress is nice. We tried the chef's selected assorted sushi and loved the quality. Reservation is recommended on the weekend. Easy parking in the front. Please notice that there's a minimum charge per person ($15), and 18% gratuity is applied for groups of 6 and more.

Ambiance is terrible, they play the radio, you feel like you're in a school cafeteria. Not the Japanese vibe you would hope for! Food is okay, fish is fresh, nothing special, a bit pricey.

Best quality sushi in the area!

amazing family run business. Hidden jam.

4.5/5 - A typical Japanese family-owned restaurant. The place is clean and simple. The sushi tastes fresh, and the service is good. The prices are fair for the quality of ingredients. Overall, I’d come back for an occasional sushi dinner.

Split the sushi boat with some sake and it was really delicious! We had to stop and grab something to eat quickly as we had a 5month old needing to eat too. The servers were super lovely and food came to us very quickly! Felt very homey and food was great. Only feedback is having a space to change diapers would be a 10/10 but loved everything else! Will be back soon.

The owners and staff are amazing. So kind and friendly every time and they offer gluten free sushi which is delicious.
Excellent quality. A little pricey for the quantity, but it was worth it.

I have been to Ikoi restaurant many times. The food and service are both excellent. It is me and my extended family’s first choice for Japanese food. I particularly appreciate being able to get the umi shisho maki. We have dined in and had takeout.

We were served a cup of water with a dead fly in it and when I complained right away to the waitress, she said that it’s not the restaurant’s fault because she didn’t see it when she was delivering the water to our table. Wanted an apology but just making excuses and avoiding the situation
