Korals Sushi & Cocktail Lobby Bar

Service wasn't all that. The food was very disappointing. Guys, edamame needs to be seasoned with salt at least. There's only a handful of sushi roll options to choose from which makes the menu very bland. No ponzu sauce either.

Korals Sushi and Cocktail Bar – JW Marriott Marco Island

We were really looking forward to dining at Korals given its upscale location inside the JW Marriott, as we were guests staying at the hotel, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t meet our expectations. The sushi rolls were served cold—not in the fresh and crisp way you’d hope for, but in a way that made them taste old and unappetizing. We left concerned and are honestly hoping we don’t end up sick.

Thankfully, they comped the old rolls because we didn’t end up eating them for fear that we would be asking for food poisoning. However, we eat sushi very regularly, and these were worse than grocery store rolls.

While the ambiance was nice and they did a great job bringing our son’s meal out quickly (a huge plus when dining with kids), the service overall was disappointing. Drink refills were forgotten, and the pace of service was painfully slow, especially for a place that was busy, but slowing down.

For the price point and location, we expected much better food quality and attention to detail. Sadly, we likely won’t be returning.

Bomb sushi restaurant that's in the hotel. We ate here several times while staying for work. I will be back next year and get some pictures.

Not sure why there are several negative reviews. We enjoyed eating at Korals twice during our stay at the JW. Smaller menu but everything was delicious and fresh! Would definitely recommend.

If you’re staying at the JW Marriott Marco Island (or even if you’re not), definitely make time for a meal at Koral. The food here is seriously good — fresh, well-prepared, and packed with flavor.

We started with the ceviche, which was super bright and refreshing, and then moved on to the local grouper — cooked perfectly and so flaky it almost melted. The sides were just as good — everything tasted really fresh, not overcomplicated. Even the bread they bring out is next-level. For dessert, we had something chocolatey (wish I remembered the name!) that was totally worth every bite.

The vibe is upscale but still relaxed — you don’t feel like you have to be super formal. Service was great too — friendly and quick without feeling rushed.

If you’re into seafood or just want a really good meal with island vibes, Koral is 100% worth checking out.

Over priced, took over an hour to get 4 items. The sushi was mediocre at best tbh. Charged $7 for a fountain club soda for a child which seems ridiculous

The sushi rolls are one of the best I have tried so far. The drinks are really low quality, no taste. Philly roll is the best one there.

just epic!!! awesome drinks!!! sushi top notch!!!

Too bad zero starts aren’t allowed.
No hostess. Tip included without your permission. Ridiculous wait times. Terrible service, expensive and kids screaming everywhere.

The sushi bar was phenomenal. The tuna tar tar and the eel roll was the best! The dessert was great as well. Great service, food, and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone in

We decided to dine there because all other places closed at 8pm, and this was the only one open at the resort. Despite the negative reviews, I found the sushi to be the best I've had in a long time. It was incredibly fresh, a generous portion, and simply outstanding.

As soon as I set down waiter came and HANDLE the menu and asked what we want to drink. I already knew from the tip of my tongue and ordered two drinks. I opened the menu and choose my choice is sushi. When she came back with the drinks she said that kitchen was closed!!!! I went there to eat and it wasn’t professional to get our drinks and handling a menu know that food wasn’t served after 10 pm. Note: the website also does not say it. It says open UNTIL MIDNIGNT!!!!!
