I was able to make a dinner reservation on the day of. I ordered some nigiri and rolls (one deep fried and one fresh salmon roll). Rolls were okay, but was not worth 20 dollars each. On the other hand, sashimi and nigiri were very fresh and delicious. I highly recommend amaebi and salmon nigiri. Parking was not difficult. I just parked by the Y and walked a block or two down.

Good spot for great food. Lots of stuff to choose from, and the chef makes it easy to accommodate for allergies/sensitivities. I do with there were half-sized portions, as the hot plates portions are huge. Really great food.Dietary restrictions: I am not able to eat fish or pork. Lots of options that do not have these things in it.

Absolutely amazing! Our server Anna was fantastic, the quality was astonishing, and the ambiance was perfect. A little hip, a little traditional, and beautiful view. Thank you!Vegetarian options: I am vegetarian, and my husband is not. It was the best vegetable yakisoba I have had in the Puget Sound! It’s rare we both have a great experience.

Totally forgot to put in a reservation but they got us seated within 30 min wasn't too bad..Been craving sushi for sometime and this perfect.. $49 for 12 pc Nigiri +8 pc roll.. top it off with theKOI mule...Will come back and reserve again..Our waiter was very prompt and serve us graciously..Kid-friendliness: It does serve alcohol/ bar. But there was a family that brought their toddler with them and they seem to like it. It's a great introduction for toddlers to eat sushi...

I made the reservation just the day before and felt lucky to get in for a Friday early evening for four. (Highly recommend making reservations, especially if you don't like waiting.) As a few other reviewers stated, the parking can be a little difficult to find, but it's worth it. The food was delicious. After living in Las Vegas for many years, we were spoiled by five-star restaurants and excellent sushi, so finding KOI was a pleasant surprise. The staff was very nice and friendly. The restaurant was clean. The ambiance was pleasant--not too noisy or crowded. Most of all, the food and drinks were exceptional. My son even ordered a piece of Otoro and was surprised and delighted by the large portion. Everything was tasty and we were pleased overall and have made KOI one of our favorites to take visiting friends and relatives.

Super cool atmosphere with comfortable seating. Music wasn't too loud or obnoxious. Drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. Food was priced well. The crispy rice spicy tuna was DOPE! The flaming volcano lobster roll was a spectacle too. If you're into Japanese food/sushi, definitely check it out. Ps - the tako yaki was also yummy!

Outstanding food. The chicken katsu was incredible, and presentation was sublime. Also, the food came maybe not even 5 minutes after I ordered.

I was recommend this place for my birthday to come and eat. We were seated promptly and that is where we sat for 40 minutes and no one took our order, so we left. I realize it was busy but who knows how much longer we would have waited if we hadn’t gotten up and left. Disappointed as we drive 45 minutes.
