“The staff is so sweet, the atmosphere is sophisticated for an AYCE, and the food is simply divine! I really prefer the airy and light peaceful interior here compared to other dingy and dark AYCE places. There’s nothing better than peacefully sipping hot green tea during lunchtime. Something small would be replacing the black window blinds with some nice light curtains. But high quality fresh sushi and sashimi should be the main focus“

The curry with wagyu beef is also super tasty. Highly recommend. And their sake flights are really good too.“

“From the moment you step into Wasabi Sushi Bar on Beale Street, you are welcomed into an ambiance that masterfully blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary design elements. But the star of my recent visit wasn’t just the impeccably prepared sushi, it was the exceptional service delivered by our server, Meagan. Service can make or break a dining experience, and in this case, Meagan elevated it to new heights. Her knowledge of the menu was commendable. She provided insights into the chef's specialties, gave wonderful pairing suggestions, and had an uncanny ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized them ourselves. It's one thing to be efficient, but Meagan brought a personal touch, ensuring we felt attended to without ever feeling rushed. Every dish we ordered arrived in a timely manner, and Meagan's descriptions of each dish as she presented them added an extra layer to the overall dining experience. She navigated the fine line of being engaging and present without being intrusive, showcasing a mastery in hospitality. It's servers like Meagan who transform a meal from simply eating out into a memorable dining experience. In a city bustling with dining options, it's the quality of service that often stands out, and thanks to Meagan, Wasabi Sushi Bar is at the top of my list for recommendations. If you find yourself at Wasabi, do yourself a favor and request Meagan as your server. Your taste buds will thank you for the sushi, and your overall dining experience will be elevated by her unparalleled service.“

“Very excited and pleased to see this wonderful restaurant rebrand to be more seafood based. All of their product prior to the change was incredibly fresh, well prepared, and delicious. This continues into their new identity!!

Highly recommend!!

Only big recommendation for the establishment is to include more sauce in each order.. as a lover of seafood boils and a friend of many other boil lovers.. we know this is often the most expensive part of the endeavor but we LIVE for that juicy sauce!! ..

Thank you for the change and addition to route 5 strip!

Every seafood boil lover MUST try!“

“Koi Sushi offers a satisfying all-you-can-eat experience, with an expansive menu full of delicious and well-executed dishes. The chefs demonstrate a high level of skill in preparing the sushi, sashimi, and other Japanese fare, ensuring each dish is fresh, flavorful, and meticulously crafted. The variety on the menu is impressive, allowing guests to explore a broad range of dishes, all prepared with care and precision.

However, the ambiance at Koi Sushi is simple and functional, with little to distinguish it beyond its practical design. The temperature in the winter months can also fall just below comfort level, which may leave some diners feeling less than fully at ease. The music played is Chinese in origin, which is an unexpected touch for a Japanese restaurant and might not align with the traditional atmosphere one might anticipate.

The service, while efficient, falls short in terms of warmth. The staff, while professional, often appear serious and somewhat disengaged, which affects the overall atmosphere. A more personable and welcoming approach would elevate the service and contribute to a more pleasant dining experience.

Despite these elements, the food at Koi Sushi remains the standout. It is clear that the kitchen prioritizes quality and consistency, making this an ideal choice for those seeking a diverse range of well-prepared dishes.“

The drinks were forgotten and had to be asked for we didn’t receive them until we were finished with our appetizers. We were missing a place setting that also had to be requested a second time. The chef mistakenly started to cook seafood before the beef and poultry and we had a seafood allergy at our table. The food was poorly seasoned and poorly cooked. My shrimp were not clean they still had poop in them. Tonight was very disappointing!“
