16 Best Sushi Bars near North Branford

“Fantastic food, friendly staff and cute dining area. Five stars!“

“Great mom and pop poke, sushi, boba, teriyaki and more! Food is consistently good and they have a great variety of items to choose from. We always get ours to-go, but the restaurant has a decent amount of inside tables to eat that are clean. Nice cool air conditioning for a hot day. They also have tables outside. Our go-to spot for poke in Hamden.“

“OMG! An authentic Japanese sushi restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere and delicious choices. Extensive sake menu. Prices are reasonable considering you're paying for high quality sushi. I've eaten high quality sushi in Japan and this restaurant is on par if not better. I recommend getting reservations because of limited seating and high demand. Give it a try you won't regret it!“

“Incredible sushi, the food is so good and the staff is so kind. This is the best all you can eat sushi I’ve experienced. We can’t wait to come back for more!“

“Allie and staff were amazing. They were patient with me since I had a large order their energy was great and overall they are a great asset to the Guilford team I have gone to many other locations and have yet to receive the type of service that they have provided“

“My friends have been recommending this place for a long time. Tonight, I finally got here. Salmon Avocado roll, Maguro & Hamachi. The white rice wasn't hard & sticky like some sushi restaurants. This rice was soft but didn't fall apart. I like that. Just because I knew I'd be too full if I ordered a dinner, I got some appetizers to try: spring rolls & fried pork dumplings - both light & crunchy. Dipping sauces had a nice subtle taste; not vinegary. Very good. You wouldn't know it from the outside but the inside is attractive, the sushi bar is great, and it's busy with regulars. I think I'll become a regular, too.“

“Delicious, fresh flavorful food. Nice atmosphere. Very attentive staff. Many different choices on the menu. Highly recommend!!“

“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.“
