Wow, I am delighted with Ikoi. 5 star is not an easy rating for me on Chinese or Chinese operated Japanese restaurants, given that I am biased towards authentic Chinese & Japanese food. The food is a solid 4, more on the beef Eggplant & less on the Unagi Don, a bit dry & a tad fishy. However, the values are incredible. I've never seen unagi don on lunch special menu, ever. The space itself is 5 stars, never seen Asian restaurants so clean. The service is 5 stars, super nice young wait staffs look like 2nd gen. ABC, fluent in English, polite & attentive. My wife liked her chicken fried rice & egg roll as well, she gave em 4 stars. read more

I hadn't dined at Ikoi for a while. I had a taste for the beef satay. It's one of my favorite appetizers. The owner is a very nice young man, his wife is very friendly, and he has the cutest children. They nightly entertainment. They also cater birthday parties on-site and at the customer's property. They always greet you when you walk in. They are attentive to your needs. They're not open on Mondays. If you are in the Bloomfield, CT area. Please stop in to enjoy authentic Chinese food. To all my Yelpers let's continue to eat our way through the world # Foodie4life!! read more

Ikoi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bloomfield, Connecticut

Last night the five of us went to Ikoi for sushi. Ikoi is pretty new to the area, they've been open for around six months. I walked inside to find just one table occupied. The restaurant was basically empty. The space is clean, with some colorful lights and an industrial feel. The menu was substantial, there was a lot to pick from. They have hibachi, poke bowls, noodle soup, and so much more. We got a sushi boat, with Ikoi rolls, also the Maki combo, the Mango Hawaii Roll, and the Spicy Tuna roll. While this was a ton of sushi, most of it wasn't good. The tuna roll was dry and tasteless. Same goes for the maki combo. The Ikoi was greasy. The only winner was the Mango Hawaii Roll. It was fresh and flavorful! The seaweed salad was also pretty satisfactory, as well as the egg drop soup. I am pretty disappointed in the overall quality of the sushi at Ikoi. I don't think I will be returning here. read more

"There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar Great expectations, everybody's watching you Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town Everybody loves you, so don't let them down" (The Eagles) The restaurant business is a tough one and it's hard to keep up with the constant closings and openings. There's always a new kid in town, right? Ikoi has been around for a month or so. They took over the space previously occupied by Chosen 1 Cajun Seafood, who was around for just three years. Ikoi's menu is very deep, with a lot of sushi plus Poke Bowls, Hibachi combos, Wok fried entrees, noodle and rice dishes, Noodle soups, Southeast Asian dishes, and lunch specials. We stopped by yesterday and ordered our lunches to go - two appetizers and two lunch combos. The apps were an order of two crispy spring rolls ($4.50) and an order of chicken Satay ($9.25 for 4 skewers). The spring rolls weren't much more than shredded cabbage and carrots, but they were only $4.50. The Satay skewers were packed with big chunks of deep-fried meat and were a big value for the price. Just a word of advice, if you traditionally think of Satay as broiled chicken served with peanut sauce, their Satay is different. The lunch specials are offered every day except Sundays. Their sushi specials run $12.95 for two rolls, $15.95 for three rolls, and $13-$18 for Chirashi, and more extensive sushi and sashimi lunches, And if sushi isn't your thing for lunch, no worries because they also have a BIG selection of Southeast Asian lunches. They are all in the $9-$10 range, except three scallop dishes for $10.95. The Southeast Asian lunches include white or fried rice and a choice of three soups. Our two $9.25 lunch specials were Chicken with Broccoli Brown Sauce, fried rice and Won Ton soup, and a Chicken with Szechuan Peppercorn Sauce, fried rice and H&S soup. I asked for the Szechuan Chicken to be "extra spicy". We were both very pleased to unexpectedly see the soups were full sized portions because some Asian lunch combinations that include soup give you a teeny tiny container of 4 ounces or so. Other H&S soups are sometimes thin, bland and watery. Not here! My H&S wasn't thin at all, had a lot of flavor, and was loaded with tofu, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. My wife's wonton soup had some huge wontons, but the broth flavor could have been stronger. The lunch special entrees were fantastic, plain fantastic. My Szechuan Peppercorn Chicken had a big amount of large chicken slices, I mean seriously there was a lot of chicken in there, with zucchini, red bell pepper, baby corns, water chestnuts, red onion, peas, carrots, snow pea pods, and celery. The sauce was especially zippy and certainly fit for something I ordered as "extra spicy". There were big hunks of chili peppers in there, and I coughed a few times from that fantastic heat. My wife's Chicken with Broccoli had a similar large amount of chicken slices in her container. So just on the quality and quantity of the lunch specials, Ikoi is clearly five stars in my mind. Customer service was excellent too. The two young ladies who waited on us, took our order, and brought us our "to go" bag were very friendly and as sweet as can be. What a nice contrast to some establishments where their counterparts have their faces buried in their phones and don't interact (let alone acknowledge) you at all. read more

I wanted to love this place. Instead, I just liked it. It's still in its early days so don't take this review as gospel. They've got all the right ingredients to succeed. We ordered online and the order was prompt and service was easy picking it up. Started with a hot & sour soup which I really loved. It brought the HOT without being too peppery. The gyoza were also delish. The dishes that we got were a bit more mixed. The general tso's chicken, which I rarely order, was fine though a bit gloppy. Tasty though. We then ordered the three spicy rolls, tuna, salmon and yellowtail. These were a miss for us. They all tasted the same and were kinda flavorless. I'd stick to the Pan-Asian dishes the next time I go. Overall, a lot of promise here and look forward to the next visit to see what comes next. read more

We had take-out on their first day. No complaints. My Thai curry seafood soup was perfectly seasoned, and the shrimp, calamari and veggies were fresh and tender. The assortment of sushi, entrees and appetizers was formidable, but I'm thinking they'll likely trim the menu down, once they determine what sells and what doesn't sell. Fortunately, the community they've joined lives their seafood, and their sushi. Best of luck, Ikoi!! read more

4.5 stars in my opinion so far! I'll start off by saying the general tso chicken is my favorite in this area of the state! It's crispy and it has a great flavor. Comes with white rice and broccoli. I added on a side of noodles for the chicken but the plain udon noodles were just okay, I'll stick with the rice next time. The egg roll is delicious. It's everything you want in an egg roll, crispy, good flavor and not oily! The crab Rangoons are not bad, really they are always as good as the sauce is and in this case the sauce for them is okay but they're great with duck sauce. I loved that this place has great choices, acceptable prices and the food wasn't oily or too salty. Seemed like the chef actually cares about the quality. I'll be back to try the sushi and other dishes! read more

Ordered take out from here, it's new to Bloomfield, CT. I figured I'd give it a try, there are a couple of Japanese/Chinese spots. But none are as good and clean as this one in the area. Food: We ordered a plethora of items, Hibachi Chicken, soft shell crab, general Tsos, crab rangoons, and sushi. The hibachi presentation in the delivery was beautiful. The taste was divine, the chicken was well seasoned, moist, juicy, the rice well cooked. The same can be said for the general tsos (white meat), I got a container full of just chicken, it was delicious and soft, the sauce was the perfect viscosity. The soft shell crab was as soft shell crab should be- the sushi was also flavorful, and well presented. Price: Other reviews claimed this place was expensive, and quite frankly the prices are fair- especially with the quantity of food you're getting. Japanese food isn't cheap, but these prices definitely are not on the expensive side considering. Delivery: We called it in, the woman on the phone was pleasant as was our delivery driver. They were very prompt. I highly recommend this place, and I hope more people find out about it. read more

This is my first Yelp review, so that should at least tell you that I thought this place was worth talking about.... Asian fusion... with an extensive assortment of sushi, Chinese, and Thai dishes. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Servers were pleasant and accommodating. Nothing too special about the ambiance, but it's clean and we're really there for the food. One of our new "go-to" spots, for sure! read more

Beef with orange- not one piece chewable or edible. It was pieces of what appeared to be waste products from an unidentified animal.. I was frankly grossed out. My husband who eats anything, could also not find a piece of meat to chew. read more

Thank you IKOI! for coming to Bloomfield CT. All of us miss the Sake's restaurant that once resided here and now you have stepped up to the plate, in providing the same wonderful cuisine. The owner is wonderful and makes an effort to say hello, if they are not really busy. The waitress and the staff are all very courteous and sweet. One of them even remember what I like to drink, I was so impressed. I had the Tom Yam Goong soup, which was totally awesome. Loaded with shrimp and chicken and the spices were out of this world. If I was home, I would have picked up the bowl and drank from it vs using the spoon. The beef satay (4) piece, with a hint of wasabi melted in my mouth. My main dish was the Chicken Teriyaki with brown rice. Served on a sizzling plate with onions, green peppers and other delicious fresh ingredients. My next visit, which is real soon, I look forward in trying Thai Curry Soup, which is perfect for winter months here in New England. Now, on Saturday nights they have live bands and/or DJ's from 9pm-12pm. I hope I don't before a fixture, but I will be there again and again because it makes a perfect night of dining and dancing for the mature crowd. read more

I've been three times and had delicious sushi and Chinese. Friendly and prompt service, the look is nice, kind of on the industrial-looks-like-it-could-become-a-mini-nightclub side. Every time I've gone it hasn't been busy. I hope they do well because the food is very good. read more

I love Ikoi. They recently replaced my fav sushi spot. All the sushi is very fresh. I never have an issue.

Only tried once and I was pleasantly surprised Will try again, and see the consistency and quality of food . read more

The service was okay. After they were busy with more customers it was difficult to get someone to help us. Now the food, the edamame were just okay, the dumplings were good, the hibachi was more like lunch specials, the portion size was small and a bit on the salty side. Not worth the money. The lite delight was a good choice, the taste, portion size and price were all great! Lastly, the restroom had no working sink only buckets to wash your hands (gross). Not sure if we'll return, if so definitely takeout. The ambiance is not as nice as Koma (Weha) or the Asian Bistro (Windsor). read more

Lovely addition to Bloomfield! Immaculate store with friendly service. My shrimp tempura was fantastic! Miso soup hit the spot on a cold and rainy night. Noodles had that perfect stretch and heated up nicely the day after. Will definitely be back to try more. read more
