Average service. Shasimi pieces and the salmon roe are too too small. Avoid the Chilean Sea bass. Its too gummy and not fresh. Been eating these fish for over a decade now and I certainly know what is fresh and what is frozen for a very long time. The 6 oysters pacific and small types are good but nothing to die for. I asked if they have the blue oysters from France which are commonly served in the bay area and San Diego Japanese owned sushi resto. The waiter was not aware there is one. But one thing is that the reciept came without the list of food items I ordered. Paid the bill anyway, but that to me is a red flag for a resto and I certainly won't be coming back!

So overpriced for very mediocre sushi. Came here because they are on Michelin guide and this was extremely disappointing. Slow service, fish was okay. I’d rather get a sushi plate from Nijiya for $15 than the $33 “sushi dinner” here. Agedashi tofu was SOGGY (iykyk). Anyway not coming back again lol

Koi is one of my favorite spots to get sushi in Long Beach and the Seal Beach area. The quality of the fish is superb and is always super fresh. They have a large sushi bar that wraps around, perfect for watching the sushi chefs create their mini works of art. The seats are very close to one another so it’s a little cramped when it’s full (so try to go on the weekday if you prefer the sushi bar and want more space).
There is something for everyone on the menu. My youngest niece is super picky, but started to be adventurous while eating here the last time. She ended up loving the poke and yellowtail sushi.
It’s easy to fill up on appetizers since they have so many good ones to choose from. I like the agedashi tofu, chawanmushi, crispy rice with spicy tuna, and miso black cod. They also have 2-3 types of oysters with Kumamoto being part of the regular types.
My favorite sushi items to order are the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail sashimi appetizer, scallops, toro, uni, and live sweet shrimp.

Koi is a true gem. It's by far the best Japanese/sushi bar in the area. Excellent fresh food and knowledgeable staff. I took my girlfriend there for the first time and she said it was the best sushi she ever had by far.

High quality fish with an awesome sushi chef who created a fun and inviting environment. The sashimi and fish were all of very high quality. I also enjoyed the seasonal menu of interesting appetizers including the chili shrimp. Getting to talk with the chef and owner really added to the experience.
