Our group of 10 was seated in a beautiful private room in the back, complete with a cozy fireplace and elegant table settings--it set the perfect mood for the evening. ​Following our host's recommendation, my husband and I shared the Sashimi Box and the Ten-don. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and high quality. The Sashimi Box is quite generous, so sharing it between 2 or 3 people was perfect! The Ten-don was also delicious and came as a complete meal with salad and miso soup. ​The staff were attentive, professional, and very friendly throughout the night. Whether you're hosting a large group or looking for a quality Japanese meal, I highly recommend TheKoi!

Once you find the spot there's no turning back lol. The inside of the place has an amazing atmosphere, the guys that usually make the sushi are friendly and will answer any questions you have. My cousin and I would always come here when we're craving for sushi or whenever we just want to treat ourselves with good food once in a while.

5 out of 5 AYCE for sure! First time visiting Sumo Sushi & Grill last weekend with my family and we…read morehad such a great experience! (FYI, for weekends and holidays, you'll be charged the dinner price all day). Since it was our first time, our server kindly explained how the ordering system works. You place your sushi orders through one phone with a limit of 15 items every 15 minutes. Drinks and refills are recommended to be ordered directly through your server so they don't take up item slots. Even if you order less than 15 items, you still wait the 15 minutes before placing another round. It sounds a little confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple! One of the cutest parts of the experience was having our food delivered by a little robot server with a cat face. Just make sure to grab the food from the section glowing blue so you don't accidentally take another table's order. Super fun and honestly memorable! By the time we were getting full, my family joked that the cat face looked menacing, because we were hoping no more food would be brought to our table lol. The orders don't all arrive at the same time and some can be delayed, so I'd suggest somewhat trying to keep track of your orders if you don't want to go overboard. The sashimi was delicious and the portions are HUGE, so definitely pace yourself because they do charge for leftovers. My son got a little too excited and overordered, so we ended up paying the leftover fee. However, I was genuinely impressed that Sumo Sushi actually allows you to take leftovers home, even with the fee included. I mean, you'll have to pay the fee either way, but I've never been to an AYCE sushi restaurant that allowed leftovers as takeout before. I really respect how serious they are about reducing food waste. They also have a small buffet section you can grab already prepared/cooked food from while waiting for your sushi orders. My absolute favorites were the miso soup, seafood boil(?), and the tempura fish that lives rent free in my head (I should have asked if I could order that fish for takeout!). They also had other hot foods, meats, and seafood options that were tasty. The dessert section was more basic (flan, jello, fortune cookies, etc.), so I skipped dessert this time (besides the fortune cookies hehe). The service, in general, was fantastic. While we were dining, a child nearby celebrated a birthday with their family and the staff went ALL OUT singing happy birthday with light-up decorations and so much energy. It was adorable and way more effort than most restaurants put in. My only small critique is that the "French Fries" listed on the menu are actually sweet potato fries. They tasted good, and I normally like sweet potatoes, but it definitely caught us off guard because it wasn't what we expected. When we left, the staff kindly said goodbye to us, including an older gentleman near the door who consistently seemed focused on customer service and even asked if we wanted condiments packed with our leftovers. We had such a lovely experience and I would consider Sumo Sushi as probably one of the better AYCE sushi spots in the area. We'll definitely be back!

Kura Sushi is at the Tacoma Mall and a great spot to grab sushi with kids! We had our 9 yr old and…read more3 yr old with us - it was a request from the 9 yr old to go to sushi! Conveyor sushi is extra kid friendly as they can pick as it comes around and see before choosing. Also that every 12 or so plates there was a toy. The 3 yr old would eat some salmon, eel, rice, edamame, and we ordered her some really delicious fried chicken. We also had 3 desserts (butter cake and 2 cheese cake slices). 9 yr old loved the crab lol. Husband was a fan of the seared salmon, and I'm just not picky and got a little of everything. It's not the "fanciest" sushi, but it's 100% a safer bet with kids to come here than take them to a Japanese restaurant and risk ordering several dishes they decide they don't like. My rating is based on how great it is for families! Kids also liked putting plates in the discard slot, and the robot delivering drinks, and the general cartoons that appeared on the order screen. I think our order ended up being 25 plates (plus a couple items) and $120, I thought this was reasonable for 4 since we said "yes" to anything and let the kids grab what they wanted. We will be back! Also a great option for solo diners!

Spent $240 for 5 people which was about $50 per person which was good. However selection was tight. Price is per plate and not all you can eat, wish sushi selection had more availability.

Nothing wrong with cheap and good, unless the ingredients make your tummy hurt. Lol. Luckily it was not cheap quality like corner store ramen or anything. My broth was pretty quality also, but could habe used a slight bit more flavor in my opinion. It was a creamy broth and most places keep it clean so its normal that I want more flavor from creamy broth. Lucky for me their spice is actually spicy.

Today I came to Tacoma and visited a Japanese restaurant that's been open since 1984. I had high…read moreexpectations, but since I wasn't particularly hungry, I sat down with a casual mindset, just planning to have a light meal. After finishing, my biggest takeaway was: how has this place managed to stay open for so long? Environment: The place is clean, and both the sushi counter and the freshness of the ingredients are evident to the eye. The chefs' uniforms are also very neat. Taste: Sorry, it's hard to put into words! I ordered the lunch combo. The server asked how I wanted my beef done, and I said medium rare would be fine. But the beef was really tough! The tempura was okay. My friend had the pork cutlet rice bowl--the cutlet wasn't crispy, and the sauce was poured directly on top instead of being served on the side as we requested. So neither of us finished our food and we left. Fun fact: Tempura, though it's deep-fried, actually has the second-lowest calorie count among all Japanese dishes. So what's the lowest? Sorry, I forgot. A long time ago, Japan was considered the end of the continent, so many things that made their way there were seen as reaching the ultimate destination. As a result, the Japanese would thoroughly study everything that came--whether it was swords, food, tea ceremony, etc.--which eventually gave rise to what we now call craftsmanship or the spirit of mastery.

You'll often see the owner, Jose, making the sushi orders himself. He was trained by a Japanese sushi chef who in turn was trained in Japan. The ingredients are very clean and the portions are a good value. The sashimi slices are thick! The scallops are velvet in your mouth. The tempura is cooked perfectly. The sushi roll selections are unique and not like other places that just offer the same flavor. Have you ever ordered a couple rolls and they're basically the same? That won't happen here. Service was fast during the lunch rush. Server was friendly. No complaints. The restaurant is clean and the building it's in has a lot of character and history being in DT. Con: One thing I will ding them on is their Tonkatsu. I've had the Tonkatsu plate and the Donburi. Both times they were overcooked and dry. Come for the sushi!

I was sitting at a table for a bit and ended up watching how one of the workers, Daria, interacted with customers, and it honestly wasn't great. She consistently had an attitude with people, like she didn't want to be there, and it wasn't just a one-time thing--it happened with multiple customers. It made the whole atmosphere feel uncomfortable. What really stood out is that the other baristas are usually friendly and welcoming, so the difference was very noticeable--her behavior made the rest of the team look bad in comparison. I still think Emish Market is a great place and I'll keep coming back, but I hope this is something that gets addressed because it definitely impacts the overall experience.
