We all ordered variations of the Hibachi, Chicken, vegetable and shrimp. All were excellent! We didn't love their yum yum sauce ( is yum yum even authentic sauce?) but everything else was super tasty! Our waitress was so nice, Great place we'll def visit again!Vegetarian options: I asked for Vegetable Hibachi which isn't on the menu they were able to accommodate. It's was very tasty!

I had a great experience during lunch at Koi on 12/4/23. At the same time, I was able to catch up with Koi's owner/operator, Chau L. Chau was the original owner of Misako when it was at Loehmann's Plaza. Misako was initially a traditional Japanese restaurant before ayce sushi became all the rage. Chau & his wife, Carol, provided excellent food and service at Misako before they sold that business and moved on to other ventures. Koi is Chau's latest venture. Upon entering, it has the look and feel of the original Misako. And if you dined at Chau's former Koi restaurant in Virginia Beach (which is now Sakatomo, on Ferrell Pkwy), you will notice the recessed seating, known as horigotatsu, has been incorporated here at his restaurant in Suffolk. I sat at the bar (kauntaseki), since I was alone. But I also wanted to catch up with Chau. I started with some shumai. It was delicious and didn't impact my appetite (but definitely had me ready for more food). I followed that up with a ginger salad and miso soup. These items came with the sushi combo that I ordered. The sushi combo (in which you can choose 2 rolls from an specific list) was comprised of the balm roll and spicy salmon roll. Both items were fantastic - the fish was fresh and tasty while they did well to appease my appetite. I usually get 3 rolls when I dine at one of Chau's spots, so I had the Sumo roll (spicy white tuna, crunch & spicy mayo inside; spicy tuna & salmon on top). The Sumo roll is amazing - I love white tuna, and the roll's spiciness was at a perfect level (I can't do VERY spicy). The entire meal was delicious and I seriously wanted to order more. From my perspective, Koi is one of Hampton Roads' top shelf sushi spots. This venue is gorgeous and clean, while the food and service are excellent. I will make more of an effort to see Chau here since Koi is so good and he goes out of his way to satisfy his customers. Thank you so much for a perfect dining experience! JV

Koi is one of my favorite sushi spots! Mainly because of the bench style seating reminds me of Japan. The food is always good, and i've never had a bad experience! Whether its take out or dining in, Koi always delivers a great experience.

Beware! I ordered off the lunch menu and got a different price when the bill came. The server was very rude and told me to hurry up but I wanted to check the receipt. The higher price along with tax was there. I asked her to fix it and she refused saying its not her problem and she told her boss to fix the price on then menu. I would be very careful and avoid this restaurant

I enjoyed my salmon teriyaki bento box. Everything was fresh and tasty. The tempura was light and came out hot. The sushi rice was cooked to perfection. The fried banana was also very well done! We'll be back!Vegetarian options: Lots of options...they can always take menu items out you don't want.

This became our go-to after our favorite sushi place closed. Unfortunately, our recent experience has made us decide that we will get sushi from one of the four sushi places near us instead of going out of our way to get sushi at Koi. Half of our order was wrong, including an item having raw fish though the menu said that it did not contain anything raw. This we could have overlooked if they had willingly and graciously made the mistake right. Instead, when my husband drove back the person he spoke with was extremely rude and not sympathetic at all. He had a nasty attitude, and would not admit that they had made a mistake, which they clearly had. He also made us pay for the two items that we were supposed to have gotten to begin with even though they took back the remainder of what we started to eat (which we paid for), as well as pay the difference in price for the item that we got because they would not make the roll we ordered without raw fish even though the menu indicated that it did not contain anything raw. It is very disappointing as we like their sushi, but we will not frequent a place that does not care about its service and treats its customers so rudely and unfairly.

They treated me very disrespectfully. I have spent a lot of money there, and they were very rude about a mistake that they made. I'll be going somewhere else from now on. There are plenty of other choices for sushi.

Server was OK and nice. Hibachi cook seemed very annoyed to have to come to the front and we were served spoiled shrimp. On top of that I feel Luke the cook knew the shrimp was spoiled and served it anyway. Never again for me. I don't know about the sushi but hibachi here is terrible. Yuck‼️
