Fresh and delicious sushi! Easy to miss on the end corner of a small plaza right at a traffic light. Parking is minimal but available. The owner is a great guy, very friendly and just loves making sushi for his customers. They've got drinks and great prices, he rolls them all fresh right in front of you. My parents only eat cooked seafood so he makes sure to get them a good variety of cooked rolls each time. We've been long time customers and love catching up with him to see how his family is and how he's doing. Love a good local spot where the owner and employees are just good people serving up delicious food. Sidenote: Blue Koi even has their own app that makes ordering even easier! read more

Small place with a couple of tables. Ordered to go on their app sushi and my friend and I both agreed it was delicious! Tuna nachos flavor exploded in your mouth it came with 4 pieces my friend grabbed one before I could take a pic lol, the crispy rice spicy salmon was perfect and way better than other local places, the crunchy rainbow and Japanese bagel tempura were both excellent! Our order was ready on time and the owner was very kind and friendly! Was very happy to see on the LifeKitchen app they have a perfect 100 A+ from the health dept. read more

We got takeout from Blue Koi, and the sushi was phenomenal -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The owner was extremely kind and took great care to make everything gluten-free for me, while keeping sauces on the side for those who eat gluten. Even as takeout, the quality and thoughtfulness were exceptional. We'll definitely be ordering again. I wish that I took a pic of the food! read more

Blue Koi Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Amazingly fresh fish with lots of flavor! The owner/chef is so nice. There's not a lot of space inside but still would go here over many others that we've tried over the years. My favorite roll was the Hamachi Habanero! And my husband really liked the Cougar roll. Both so good that i didn't have time to take pics lol. read more

Larry, the owner went over the top to make us lifelong customers. The food is fantastic small indoor eating area but a 5+ star for service and food. read more

Just ate here for the first time. Lots to report here. - the food was delicious (and we've struggled being from CA to find sushi we like here). Some fish is only available on the weekends which we have found to be true of many places here as well. - Larry (the owner and chef) is awesome. Super nice guy and happy to accommodate requests! - it is super tiny and mostly geared towards take out and delivery. So if you want to eat there you might want to go early (just 2 tables and a couple of stools at the bar). That said, it made for a cool homey atmosphere we liked. I'll try to post some menu pics later. But definitely recommend. read more

Fantastic! Living in Sarasota, there is quite a bit of culture to go around and some really great sushi spots. Blue Koi never disappoints and is so close and easy to find. The sashimi is exceptional quality and made with great care. We love their spicy tuna, it's amazing. read more

Another ding against the place. I said I wouldn't come back but today I did and got there a few minutes before they open. At ten minutes after their opening time they're still not there. I guess the hours in the door should say "whatever I feel like working"... read more

I love this place and the team is so kind!!! Cannot recommend them enough! We got 3 different sushi rolls and the tuna bowl. It was all so delicious. We will be regulars from now on! read more

Great place for sushi. Takeout or delivery fairly priced and is totally fresh. I would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner read more

Stopped in here based on a Yelp search. Was greeted by Chef Larry himself and he told us about specials and helped us order the right amount of food. The place is small (really just takeout only) but really clean and welcoming. The fish was very fresh and there were interesting flavor combinations as well the classic things you would expect. Will definitely be back! read more

A family business that pays attention to quality. The fish was very fresh and the options were plentiful. I will be a regular!

Awesome high-quality sushi with great options. Great customer service. Family owned business- they make you feel like family.

Covid and a dear friend's recommendation brought us to Blue Koi Sushi, but the food has made us permanent customers. They are totally set up for take-out in a completely healthy working environment. All sushi restaurants by nature should follow the strictest of sanitation, but they have gone above and beyond with phone ordering & payment and friendly curbside pick-up. The menu is diverse and the items on it are delicious. So glad the owner set up shop here. Greg K. read more

Amazing sushi..... every time I'm in the area I stop by. Don't miss out on this hidden gem.

What a Covid gift! Stopped in for takeout and spent a while. How often can you eat sushi to take home from a chef that spent several years at Nobu and more than 25 practicing the craft! Must try. read more

Fish is ok. Not much variety. If you're not looking for anything special this place is decent enough. Prices are very fair.

Best sushi that we've found in Sarasota, and we've tried quite a few places. All of their offerings are always fresh and beautifully prepared. Tuna nachos are a must for us, the rolls are fantastic (we've tried most of them), and the sushi is always delicious. Larry is a gem, we're lucky to have him on the Gulf Coast! read more

Had Blue Koi the other night. It was amazing, by far the best Tuna Tartar and spicy tuna roll I have ever had. Delish!!!!!!

Don't review often but this place has the freshest sushi. My husband says it's the best he's ever had.

Best sushi place in Sarasota! Their Appetizers are amazing also! We loved everything we got from them.

Great sushi for take-out. Owners chef and wife make a great team. High quality at good prices. Our go-to for take-out sushi!

My new favorite sushi place in Sarasota At least go there once a week or more The staff is friendly and kind. The owner Larry he is awesome very talented sushi chef it's a family business witch is awesome to support good people. I am very picky I know sushi well and this is top notch prices are awesome. I recommend it to all my friends and family. Best spicy tuna roll in town FYI read more

Best sushi we've had here in Florida. Super fresh, rolled perfectly, unique rolls, and quick and friendly service. Sushi take out doesn't always travel well but this place takes the extra time to make sure the food will travel well. Everytime we eat sushi somewhere else, we wish we had just ordered from here! read more

This is a hidden GEM it's 5 stars easily! The times I have been I have been blown away! Tonight I had the cherry bond and I am obsessed! The crunchy rice base was everything! It was all so delicious! If you're looking for delicious 5 star sushi this is it. Stop looking you'll be impressed and satisfied! I've tried every place in town and I'm a little picky when it comes to quality, this place takes the prize read more

This place is a hidden gem. Quality at reasonable prices. I eat here daily. Larry is the chef say hello. I'm sure you will not be disappointed. read more

Excellent delicious fresh sushi. I've gotten takeout several times now. At least as delicious as any other I've had in Sarasota. I love the One on special rolls and Alaska on regular rolls. Though any of the special rolls were great The Miso soup was very flavorful too. read more

this is the best sushi i've ever had. my friends and I still can't talking about it. Can't wait to come back to FL... first stop Blue Koi. 10/10 !!!! WIll not disappoint read more

Check my daughter here to have dinner. They were advertising specials for discounted prices. They did not give me the discounts that were posted in the restaurant, and when I asked about it they basically told me they were just sorry. Food was just OK, and served in the restaurant for dining customers food in plastic and Styrofoam. I will not eat here again, they charge a 3.2% fee for the use of credit cards which is ridiculous, particularly in the time of Covid where people want hands-free options. read more

Clean interior, tasty food, great customer service, and super nice and passionate owner. We got the California roll with tuna and salmon sushi and it was really tasty. We also got the miso soup and seared ahi tuna bowl. The miso soup had tons of seaweed (which I love) and the sauce for the bowl was really delicious. I highly recommend trying this place out while you're in Sarasota! read more

first tine I ordered from Blue Koi and I was honestly surprised - the fish was extremely fresh and delivery was quick and painless - will definitely order from here again read more
