Stopped for lunch one day. Very clean, friendly and delicious meal. Pad thai and pineapple chicken were perfect. We were the only customers, I hope this place continues to grow and gain business. read more

Very nice staff. Food just didn't have the zing I expected from an Asian restaurant. Needed some kick -- flavors were just too mild.

Saw a note that Blue Koi was closed and this is not true. We dined there last evening. The lobster cha cha was amazing and I enjoyed my Thai basil rice as well. read more

I loved this place the first time around but the 2nd time didn't live up to the first experience. Consistency is key to me! The Tom Kha the first time around was something special the 2nd time it was completely different tasting which lead to disappointment, same with the fried rice. The Gyoza is good. The satay is dark meat very unappetizing. Not a fan of the Tom Yum soup. Sushi is good and seems very fresh. Singapore Mei Fun is very very lightly seasoned, definitely wanted a little more flavor. The black pepper udon stir fry is probably of the best dishes same with the Thai basil dish. The staff is very very friendly. The decor is very lovely. Great for date night, family night or small party. I am willing to try this place again with hopes it will be as good as the first time. read more

The food quality is just not good any longer. With so many choices in Hanover now, you need to be on your game all the time

Visiting here from California, we were skeptical about a finding any kind of sushi place here in Hanover. This was a very pleasant surprise. Blue Koi would be a big hit in San Francisco! read more

We've been on a hunt for great sushi and dumplings after moving back into this area. We found the best of the best at Blue Koi! We love their food, the quality, and service! We eat there at least once a week! read more

This is my favorite place to get sushi! The drunken noodles are another favorite! The staff is always really friendly and my food is always hot and ready when I come to pick it up! Very good place to eat! read more

My wife and I placed a take out order for sushi last night from Blue Koi. The gentleman that took our order over the phone was pleasant and professional. My wife liked that he repeated our order back to us. Not something you get a lot anymore. Our sushi was ready when we arrived and accurately reflected what we ordered. The sushi was very good. I'll stop short of saying it was the best sushi I've ever had but it was good. Happy that this place is only 15 minutes from home. Will definitely be back. read more

I eat here very frequently, once to twice every week. Lately the service has been terrible. Waiter was rude, never asked how our meal was when we were missing part of it.. I had to ask for a napkin three times before I got one. Service is going down hill here.. it's sad read more

This is our go to for carry out although we've dined in before too. They know how we like our orders and the food is always amazing. Only once our order was mixed up and they apologized profusely. The one drawback is that they get so busy there can be a long wait at the door for carry out. read more

OPEN, but bring your wallet and please dont be in a rush. Enjoy the dinning experience! I've been eating here for the past 2 years. FRESHEST FISH/SEAFOOD you will find near 17331 zip. Super friendly staff. DONT be in a hurry. You cant rush perfection! Sashimi is a must try. Very fresh fish! Try the secret menu. Just ask.... Poke bowl is to die for! read more

Blue Koi is God's gift to the town of Hanover. For a city girl, I would consider Hanover the middle of nowhere, and definitely not a foodie town. As I Yelped "dinner" near "Hanover, PA" this was the result that came up with the most # of reviews (11!) ahahaha. If that's not an indicator of the lack of foodies here, I don't know what is. My dinner experience at Blue Koi was great! First of all, it was my date time with God reading Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis so that was really convicting. (Though technically I guess its a date with Satan, but learning about myself and God through that.) Food wise, the menu was filled with a variety of Asian food - Japanese (sushi rolls), Thai (curries, noodles), and Chinese (sweet and sour chicken). Appetizer: Roti Canai, a Malaysian fluffy/crispy pancake that you can tear and dip into curry sauce. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE appetizer. Entree: Green Jade Specialty Roll - rice roll filled with salmon and avocado, topped with a thick layer of crunchy spicy salmon, covered with slices of kiwi. Let me tell you, that crunch was magical... it was the perfect touch to break through the richness of the salmon and avocado. Dessert: Mochi Ice cream - red bean and mango ice cream wrapped in gluttinous rice cake. And it was plated so beautifully. Overall, it was a fantastic dinner experience - the best one in Hanover yet. All the other restaurants have a bunch of senior citizens... apparently all the beautiful young people of Hanover were at Blue Koi this whole time! read more

The Asian restaurant scene in the thriving city of Hanover has received a huge boost. This wonderful restaurant is for those that believe Asian food MUST extend beyond the dime-a-dozen Chinese buffet joints. The owners, Tao and Moon, are not new to the Hanover scene. You may remember them from their previous restaurant (if you're familiar with Hanover, no further info is needed). Tao and Moon have gone out on their own and have created a masterpiece of culinary art. First, the decor is amazing. While you're inside, it is hard to remember that you are actually in a South Side shopping center. The warm colors, wall art, and perfect lighting are as inviting as it gets. The beautiful woodwork of the sushi bar is top notch and is accented with perfectly placed pendant lighting. As far as I know, most of the interior work was done by a local craftsman and/or artist and it is of very good quality. The booths are fashioned with wood similar to the sushi bar and the seats are a very soft, high quality, leather that is quite comfortable. The service is excellent and you can always count on Tao and/or Moon to mingle with the customers throughout the evening. As you become a more familiar face, they will make you feel as if you are part of the family. The food is outstanding. All of it. It doesn't matter what mood strikes you. If you want sushi, it is great. If you'd like a meal, it is great. Some highlights include the Duck Curry from the entree menu. The Summer Rolls on the appetizer menu are super and include Moon's own Thai Chili Sauce (this is one of my favorite sauces and Moon's is a good one). I also enjoy the Baby Octopus on the appetizer menu. I have not had the raw oysters yet but I did enjoy them at their previous location and I can't imagine they are any different here. The Special Roll menu is where it's at. Some of the rolls are carry-overs from the old location and some are new. Either way, they are all superb. Occasionally we have a friend visit who has lived in several cities and she says this is some of the best, if not the best, sushi she has ever had. I can't speak about the dessert menu since I haven't tried any. FYI, this place is BYOB! Bring your wine, bring your sake, bring your beer, whatever. Can it get any better than that? Thank you Tao and Moon for providing such a wonderful place for everyone to come and enjoy your offerings. read more

First I am a HUGE sushi fan and will eat it several times a week. I also love Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian food. Chinese and Korean are my least favorite of all Asian foods. I lived in California and lived in DC both who IMO have world-class Asian Restaurants...so while not an expert I do think I know good Asian food when I taste it. The Positive- Friendly and attentive staff. Wide variety of Asian cuisine on the menu, and a good looking minimalist atmosphere (though they could use some more art on the walls). The Negative -While I really want to make this my favorite sushi restaurant since it is the only place within 20 minutes from my home, each time (so far three) I go there I am disappointed. The Thai dish (drunken noodles) needed more spice (corriander and basil) and sauce. The summer roll was OK but needed basil...the mint just doesnt work. A spicy peanut dipping sauce would also be good for this appetizer. I love these rolls in the Vietnamese noodle shops!! As far as sushi, the spicy tuna roll (which I use a my first meter when checking out a sushi bar) was blah and small. Don't get me wrong, the fish seemed fresh but the roll lacked taste... would be there if not overpowered by the rice...meaning that they just don't put enough tuna / ingredients in the rolls. They have bigger and better tasting spicey tuna rolls at Wegmans...which is a grocery store! The spider roll was also disappointing. The tuna tartar was very tasty but again, the pieces were small and few for 9.00. How unfortunate :( I like the tuna tartar at the Peking Tokyo in Manchester MD and the sushi and rolls at J&Y in Eldersburg and Yuraku's in Germantown are to die for...and drive for!! Maybe the owners at Blue Koi will take the hint and visit those places for some ideas. I am going to try the Blue Koi again, as I haven't had their Curry. I am also going to try a few more things on the menu. They have so much promise...and I not only want them to succeed but NEED them to succeed...I shouldn't have to drive an hour to an hour and a half just for my sushi fix!! I will get back to you with my next review. read more

I've had good experiences here before, but after last night I won't go back. We had to wait about 30 minutes for our server to bring us glasses to our table after we were seated so we could drink our wine. Then another 15 before he came back to take our order. Meanwhile, people who sat after us were already receiving their food before we could even order. The food was a mix of good and bad. I ordered 2 sushi rolls and they were both disappointing--didn't look good, were small, had things in them I've never had in that roll before--like lettuce (??? weird). I have had the same rolls here before and it was night and day. When we were finally able to track down the server for our bill (more than 2 hours after we sat down--long after parties who were seated 30 minutes after us came and went), we asked the server what was happening that our service was slow. He got angry and very defensive. When he brought the check for us to sign HE had charged us a 15% gratuity--for a party of 2-- because he didn't think we would tip him! We were able to have someone else reverse that charge, but the server continued to be very rude. Oh, and they flat out charge you a fee to use a credit card. So tacky. Take a good look at your check to make sure there are no surprises. read more

Well, well; what a surprise! Nice vibe, date-appropriate and not too crowded (but crowded enough to give hope that they might stick around). We were impressed with our meals; an eclectic mix of Thai, Japanese and Indian menu items. Summer rolls were well made and full of flavor; roti canai was sweeter than I'm used to, but tasty just the same. Sushi was better than okay (not great, but certainly very fresh and fairly well made). Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles both well prepared. Service was efficient and professional; we'll definitely try them again for some other items of their menu. For Hanover, this was a pleasant surprise indeed. read more

My favorite restaurant in all of Hanover. Quality sushi, delicious entrees, nice ambience and super friendly personal service make Blue Koi great. Try the XO Prince! read more

I just ate at Blue Koi with my Dad and had the worst experience and food. I was served what seemed to be day old refrigerated tempura shrimp roll and when I said something to the waiter he replied all sushi is cold ...he has obviously never had good sushi . We asked to have it taken off the bill and he said they could not I don't even want to get started on the chewy chicken satay . I would not normally comment publicly however this was the second time being there that the food and service was not so good read more

If you reside within 60 miles of Hanover PA and love sushi/Asian cuisine you absolutely must visit Blue Koi. I recently had the pleasure of meeting a new client for lunch at this location. The atmosphere was phenomenal, the people amazing and the food speaks for itself. From the great hot tea, to the Twister Roll, Volcano Roll, to the brand new SOB Roll, you will be pleasantly surprised at the explosion of taste that occurs. Not to mention the presentation is by far better than any place locally. I even took some home to the Mrs. and not only did she love it but the kids ate some great Spider Roll and loved it all. Try it once, I promise you will return again and again. I am already planning my next trip! read more

Dear Hanover, Wow! You got a great cultured place to eat. Finally. (not like I was holding my breath waiting on you) Great decor, good quality, a little on the pricey side for sushi (expect 1 to 2 dollars more per roll and sushi) Loved Tao's ipod playlist in the background. Located in a strip mall but don't hold that against them; this place is fantastic. SCREW YOU YELP! 5 stars and you filter this review? Your algorithim blows goats for quarters!!! read more

We were really hoping this would be our new go to spot, but were sadly disappointed. I ordered the Asian stir mixed veggies with tofu. It was bland, had a sour flavor, and the veggies were over cooked. Unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

On Friday, April 2nd my girlfriend and I decided to try Blue Koi again after a terrible experience several months ago. We called to make a reservations for two people at 6pm. We spoke with the owner. (Female half of the ownership team.) She told us they didn't take reservations for a party of two. I think it's important for potential Blue Koi patrons to be aware of their reservation policy. She told us we could just walk in at 6pm. We drove from Gettysburg and arrived at 6:01pm and were greeted by the female owner. We asked for a table and were told it would be an hour wait. We mentioned that we tried to make a reservation but were denied because of Blue Koi's policy of no reservations for partys smaller than three. After two bad experiences at Blue Koi we would more inclined to enjoy Full Moon Sushi were we had delicious food, superior service and felt welcome. Blue Koi patrons, please be aware of their reservations policy so you won't experience the same disappointment. read more

How is it they have 11 filtered reviews?? I downgraded just so it wasn't under the filtered reviews- even though I'd give 5 stars. We have had consistant, wonderful food many times. The curries are a wonderful introduction to Thai Curries if your new to those flavors. Spicy is normal. It balances against the coconut milk and textures of ingredients. Transplanted local owners who welcome regular patrons with first name basis. Staff is sometimes less familiar with English language, but the owner is always open to questions and willing to share food knowledge. Great place for anyone. Even kids who bring a sandwich from Subway while mom and dad feast. Bring your own bottle, just like most of PA. read more

Overview: Nice menu with some more unusual options that you don't always find at an Asian restaurant. Food: The sushi here is probably the best to be found in Hanover. I also enjoy their entrees. The food is fresh and served quickly. The prices are a bit high in my opinion, but the food is of good quality. Recommend: I recommend their spicy salmon roll, as well as the tamago nigiri. The drunken noodles and Singapore mei fun are also very good options. Atmosphere: I really love the interior of this restaurant. It has a sleek, modern feel. I wish it were a little brighter, but it has always been clean. Service: The staff friendly and efficient. read more

This restaurant was very strange to us. After reading all of the good reviews we thought we would give it a try, but unfortunately it did not live up to the other reviews. When we arrived we were the only patrons in the restaurant. There was an employee sleeping in the last booth. There was a continuous flow of employees to the restrooms. There was soda piled up in the back corner. The phone rang off the hook and no one seemed to want to answer it even though there were people standing around. The food was just okay, but nothing at all memorable or overly delicious. We left saying that there was no reason that we needed to return. read more

Went to the Blue Koi today for lunch and it was great. I had the Tom Kha with chicken and the pineapple chicken. They were both delicious. My husband had the Tom Kha as well as the Shrimp Tempura. Again very good. Our friends had the Tom Yum with shrimp along with Pad Thai and the Thai Basil with Beef. They were very pleased with the taste along with the portions, which were just right for lunch. We all ended with Mango Sticky Rice and that was a hit. Overall our experience there was wonderful and the food was very good. The service was also good and our food came out in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend the Blue Koi and we look forward to our next visit. read more

We had a lovely meal the other night at Blue Koi. We dropped in on a Monday night. The server was very attentive. The atmosphere (we have been here several times) was very intimate with nice soft music. My wife and I each had a sushi roll for an appetizer. I had a dynamite roll which had soft crab. Was very good. For dinner my wife had the Thai Basil rice. Very well done! Not too spicy. I had the soft crab special. Perfectly cooked and uniquely prepared with onions and peppers. Wonderful. Great night out! read more

A lot of the dishes here are solid, but it seems to depend on the night of the week. I've had take out be really yummy and I've had it leave me disappointed. The sushi is great though, the best in the area. And their noodle dishes are a nice break from the typical limited offerings through Hanover. Just know you might have one of those odd nights with a not as good chef working ;) read more

Excellent sushi, especially given the location. We started with the Miso soup, which was average but not exceptional. There isn't a lot to do be done with miso anyway. We tasted some individual sushi, and it was very good. Then, we tried three special maki rolls - Green Jade, Twister and California Sunset. All were beyond excellent. Green Jade includes some kiwi, and Twister includes some mango. I'm not usually a fan of fruit in my sushi, but it worked here. There wasn't over powering sweetness as I've had before. The four stars comes strictly for the sushi. I admit, I've tried Blue Koi once before and it was to get some Pad Thai carryout. I was disappointed, it was just ok. If you are coming here, definitely stick to the sushi menu (although maybe some of the other Asian dishes are better). The pad thai is the reason that I didn't give them 5 stars. My only real complaint is that the green tea was served with the tea leaves loose in the pot. That's very strange, and it meant that it steeped too long and was bitter at the end. read more

Great food, great prices and good service. Not so sure about the decor. Rocks in the sink? read more

This is probably my favorite sushi place in Hanover , PA . Good selection rolls . The only reason for 4 stars because Thai food options are not authentic . Good place for sushi tho . read more

We ordered take out on new year's day 2019. The restaurant was fairly busy when we picked our order and now I know why! This was the best Thai food that I have EVER had. I ordered the Mango Passion and my hubby ordered the Thai Sweet and Sour Chicken. It was the perfect blend of spices and heat. I would highly recommend Blue Koi. The staff was pleasant and helpful. And again, the food was fantastic! read more

Driver was on time. Food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the avocado and Salmon lover! I love this restaurant will go again.

Visited BK last night with a party of six. I have generally been happy with BK food & service however last night was very disappointing. I have taken into consideration how busy BK was last night but we waited close to an hour and a half after being seated for our food. Tables arriving after us were seated and served before us. On a good note the food was good. Service wasn't!! We spoke to the server and owner (female). The server was doing the best he could. The female owner dismissed our concerns with excuses and deflections. I have never had a restaurant owner act as if she could care less about our concerns and when I asked her what she could/would do to have us return as faithful patrons, the response was nothing. read more

I just love Blue Koi!! In fact it was the first place I have ever tried sushi at the sushi bar! It is the best date night ever or girls night as well!

Don't let the outside full you! I wish I could go there once a week....but it is a little pricey but soo worth it!! read more

Blue Koi - OMG This sushi was out of this world @ Blue Koi!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hanover, Pennsylvania

Never knew this little gem was there. They have been in business for 2 years before I found them. Category is sushi/japanese. I was shocked that such a good sushi restaurant would be found in Hanover PA !! Ok, we started by ordering the half duck. Now... my girlfriend is hawaiian/japanese and she knows her stuff. and she LOVES DUCK ! We also ordered the "Triple Sushi" Which is three kinds of sushi; Salmon, yellowfin, and tuna with one of the special rolls (which there are several on the menu but you don't get to choose). The first thing that came was the miso soup. Japanese girlfriend said it was authentic. (not americanized). I'm a fan of miso but I like it my way (thick). The Duck was fantastic with girlfriend saying it was quite possibly the best duck she's ever had in her life. I had to agree. It was presented on the plate very well, the portion was very good and there was no, if any, fat. (how did they do that ??) The skin was crispy and the duck cooked through. (you're going to want to taste that skin. It was THAT good!). We got the breast (cut up just right), and two drumsticks. I don't know what you get for the whole duck (we ordered the half duck at $19) I guess the two thighs and wings as well?? Anyway, the duck was a treat and came with two "pancakes" which were really like four or five soft tortilla wraps. The sushi was very well done and presented. Candied Ginger and wasabi was included on the plate. The ratio of meat to rice was very good with the flesh completely covering the rice ball. We finished off with the "mango and sticky rice with coconut glaze" served warm. Very nice and very soothing to the stomach after a meal. I never had that dish before (it's a thai cuisine thing) but it was very very tasty !! They also had the green tea ice cream which we will be trying on our next visit. The food is comparable to high end sushi restaurants in the big city but actually I've never had duck as good as that before!! The half duck: "$19 The sushi: $22. Dessert: $5. We were there on a saturday night around 6pm. It was busy (and got noisy because there were large family groups there) so you might need reservations. They do carry out and parking is right out front in a parking lot. read more

Great sushi. Always fresh! We also love their lettuce wraps. Clean restaurant and super friendly staff.

Enjoyed the Thai Basil Beef with Jasmine rice for lunch. Good to the last grain of rice and forkful of beef and veggies in delicious brown sauce. Water to drink. Staff friendly, responsive, attentive, courteous, and there when you need them. Atmosphere is relaxing and quiet. read more

Blue Koi - Lunch portion of beef Thai basil with Jasmine rice. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hanover, Pennsylvania

Great food. Decent prices. A little disappointed with take out services recently. I've never had a problem before, so it was my fault not checking the bags until I got home. All sushi rolls I ordered were missing. When I called, I declined coming back to pick them up as it is 30 minutes from my home. I asked for a refund on my card and they said that was fine. I was not refunded for the food items. Otherwise, this is my go to restaurant for thai food and sushi! read more
