Pretty decent casual Japanese spot. Lunch bento and the lunch sets with miso soup and rice are really good value, but don't expect Michelin sashimi If you're deciding between the Chirashi lunch (L) vs the Chirashi and Udon lunch, I recommend getting the chirashi and udon lunch, fish is basically the same just less rice and you get a soup udon noodle! Decor and furniture could use an upgrade. read more

Pretty solid Japanese restaurant and definitely one of the better Japanese restaurants in the area. Their sushi is fresh and the staff are friendly. They offer great lunch special options. One of my go to orders is the sushi with tempura udon lunch special. I typically order from them on DoorDash and it's good every time! read more

Ikoi Sushi is one of the better sushi spots in Marin that I've tried. We ordered via UberEats and all the rolls that we got were very fresh even though we had it delivered. We ordered 3 rolls: spider, tempura, and dragon. The rolls were nicely packaged in one container. Everything was really good! Wasabi and ginger tasted fresh too. My favorite was the tempura roll and my partner really enjoyed the spider roll. We both, however, thought the eel on the dragon roll was a little too fishy for us. But overall, really enjoyed the sushi and the prices weren't too bad even on Uber Eats. Will definitely be back! read more

I used to like this place. Now I'm done with it. It was mediocre at best today & I got a severe MSG headache! I didn't even realize restaurants are still using MSG.... read more

Ikoi Sushi is a staple in Terra Linda. Their lunch specials are awesome. The staff is friendly, and the location is perfect for locals. It can get crowded on the weekends at night but for a local spot it cannot be beat. read more

Honestly I love this place! It's usually quick when sitting inside unless it's a week night. But takeout is great! Food: I am a big sushi person and I would say it's pretty good I also love all of their yaki udon noodles and teriyaki plates Service: The servers here are always helpful and as a particular person they always get me the sauces and extras that make my dishes complete Ambiance: The interior is small but they have about 9 tables. It's very clean inside and cute walls! read more

Well, it's a good thing that Lou's Takeaway closed early for the night or else we wouldn't have discovered Ikoi Sushi! The honest struggle is finding a good sushi spot in Marin County after being spoiled of having it within arm's reach back home. That being said, Ikoi Sushi is your home away from home. The staff are so friendly, efficient and accommodating. They made room for us when they were busy and were lovely to chat with. My partner's sashimi mini had thick cuts of fish, and his nigiri was no different. While the nigiri menu doesn't have as much variety as other spots, it gets the basics down very well. Everything is very fresh. SABA/MACKEREL: This was a a bit fishy that day and not the best I've had. NEGI HAMA ROLL: Very fresh and thick cut hamachi is balanced by perfectly ripe avocado and a hint of freshness from the scallion. This was my favorite negi hama roll to date. KOI SPECIAL ROLL: The best way to describe this is a Spider Roll and Rainbow Roll had a child called the Koi Special Roll, but topped with crunchy tenkasu tempura crumbs, a mix of your spicy mayo and unagi sauce. This was also a really good roll! TORCHED HOTATE/SCALLOP: The attention to quality here is evident in this nigiri. Lightly torched, fresh scallops with a dollop of mayo and sprinkle of scallion was the best I've had. We will definitely be back and have found a new favorite in the area! read more

I rate this sushi restaurant an A+ for what I would consider a "C/D grade raw fish, if that makes any sense.

I love their bento boxes for lunch. I get chicken or salmon teriyaki and mixed tempura (shrimp and vegetables). It's a big portion and it comes with rice, a small salad, and miso soup. The teriyaki is savory and not too sweet and it's not over-dressed with sauce. The tempura is a good mix of carrots, sweet potato, broccoli, etc. as well as one good-sized shrimp. It's pretty filling! read more

I love love love this cozy neighborhood spot in Terra Linda. My go-to and favorite is the Ikoi sushi lunch combo which offers delicious nigiri and assorted rolls at a affordable price. Ikoi is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking is available, as well as many other food and drink establishments. Service is relaxed, so let your server know you can take care of the bill early if you have to get back to the office. read more

The Katsudon noodle bowl was flat tasting. Been coming here for years, friendly service however the staff looked different to me.

My niece and I came by for lunch and I have all good things to say about this cute little place. It's small and intimate but don't let that fool you, the food is really good. We ordered miso soup, smoked salmon nigiri and regular salmon nigiri, chicken yachotori(chicken skewers), two orders of California rolls and ramen which me modified to have the soup base and chicken instead of pork. Everything was great down to the amazing service we received from our sweet waiter who was efficient and very kind. My brother surprised me later on that day by asking which restaurant did we go to because he wanted to order some nigiri now after tasting some of mine that I took to go. 10/10 will be back. read more

I really love this sushi location as it has a beautiful ambiance and great seating. Everyone here is so welcoming. Their sushi is so fresh and delicious. They have a seafood poki salad which has several raw but fresh fish mixed with a sauce that has slight kick of spice. Highly recommend eating in if possible you won't be disappointed. read more

Such a wonderful neighborhood restaurant with good sushi and plenty of parking. I am giving 4 stars because the staff is not friendly with or accommodating to toddlers. There are so many great items on the menu. The best deal on the menu is the lunch special bento box that comes with two main proteins, and miso soup and rice on the side. For appetizers, we love the chicken kara age or the chicken skewers. The octopus dumplings are also decent. Let's not forget the spam musubi - yum! The rest of the menu is comprised of sushi and/or other Japanese staples. The torched salmon nigiri is sooo good! We also love the salmon skin maki or the ika ikura (squid and salmon roe) maki. Other sushi rolls we love are the salmon tempura, geisha (deep fried hamachi), spicy crunchy, and the sunny garden. From the main dinner menu, we enjoy the nebayaki udon noodle soup, salmon teriyaki plate, chicken katsu, or any of the yaki udon. Ikoi is across from Scotty's in Terra Linda, so there is a big parking lot. They have a small indoor dining area that is never full, and they also have a restroom that is outside and next to the restaurant. If you have a toddler, my advice is to order takeout. The staff acts appalled whenever the kid gets up from the table or knocks something over, and they are constantly saying, "No! No!" to 1 and 2 year olds. It feels very judgmental and also out of touch for things that are developmentally appropriate. read more

Loved this place- first time trying it today but definitely returning. It's small but quaint- nice dining room. Solid service. Good menu selection- from the sushi traditionalists to newer rolls.as well as entrees with chicken and ramen. The chicken karaage was solid for the appetizer. I had the sushi selection platter and it was both delicious and a solid value. $20 for 6 pieces of nigiri plus an 8-piece maki roll of salmon. Thanks Ikoi- you're probably the first Marin County sushi place I would call reasonably priced. read more

Ohhhh... the never ending search... it continues, my friends! But first let me say, the Chicken Katsudon here, is not too bad. The flavors are there, but it's a little dry - unlike the Katsudon I lived on in Japan. Not sure why I can't find a joint here that nails it. They get 4-stars for getting close, and having friendly staff and reasonable prices. Go here. read more

Came in around 5:15 on a saturday night. Love this place! It's a nice small cute place to eat at with great service! I got the negihama roll and my friends got the other rolls and takoyaki pictured. Their tempura is so yummy and just the right amount of batter! I love how they give a lot of sweet potato! Super yummy sushi and good prices! This place gets really busy with togo orders but while eating inside it's pretty quiet. read more

I only ordered two small things and it was very disappointing especially for the price. I got the cucumber salad and the spider roll. Cucumber salad was mostly dry and bland with nothing really on it- for 8$ I could have made an entire bowl of that much better at home- the spider roll would have been ok except for that it mostly consisted of rice and cucumber with just a minuscule amount of soft shell crab and avocado so basically I just spent $25 on rice and cucumber. What a waste. read more

Picked up some sushi from Ikoi - some new rolls and some I'd gotten before. 10/10 delicious and amazing quality as usual. They were pretty busy but our order was ready quickly. I was impressed that in the dinner mini sashimi combo, they included o toro (tuna belly, usually triple the price of regular tuna) instead of regular tuna. The other fish in the mini sashimi dinner combo (a great deal) were salmon and hamachi. All delicious. The Titanic roll, Sakura roll, Philly roll and STC were all also delicious. Will definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

Returned to Ikoi Sushi for a small birthday dinner. What a gem! The Chicken Katsu was--and I can say this absolutely for sure--literally the BEST I've ever had. I'm a gray-haired senior who grew up in Hawaii and, believe me, I've had a LOT of Chicken Katsu at a LOT of restaurants over the years (yes, it's one of my all-time favorite dishes). This Katsu was cooked and presented perfectly. Tender and juicy with a wonderful, light and tasty crunch. Generous portion, flavorful katsu sauce. So 'ono! And excellent service...attentive, polite, helpful. read more

Food was ok and service about the same. Really small dining area which was unremarkable in every aspect. Not overly dirty, but not super clean. Not good food, but not awful. Half the kitchen was just kind of standing around not doing anything which was a little odd. Definitely don't recommend the TNT roll (I think that's what it was) Which literally was served directly out of a toaster oven or microwave oven. read more

I'm not too adventurous when it comes down to sushi. I know . I like my items fully cooked and extra saucy, but also tons of flavor and texture. This low key spot out in San Rafael is a must try if you're in the area. Also, find yourself a little picnic table by the Civic Center Lake and just watch those , and you'll have a relaxing lunch. PS, being sunnies and a picnic blanket to sit under a tree if it's scorching hot like it was that day! Featured: Bento Lunch with teriyaki beef, teriyaki salmon, the Dragon and Spider Rolls. Unbelievably satisfying for the $$. That was so pure with each grain defined and cooked to perfection. I mean, I'm not even too fond of rice, but this place made me just want to devour that whole bowl. Lol. read more

Came here for a to-go dinner, and were looking forward to good food - we were not disappointed! Pick-up was easy, contactless and following many COVID protocols. Food was freshly prepared and nicely packaged for appearance and safe travel. We ordered quite a few items - feeding many mouths this time! Items included: Agedashi Tofu - Deep fried tofu with dipping sauce Oshinko Roll - Pickled radish Veggie Roll - Tempura veggie, cucumber, avocado and lettuce Katsu Don - Chicken katsu rice bowl with egg and scallion Dragon Roll -Tempura shrimp, kyu topped with eel, avocado, tobiko, scallions and sauce Alaska Roll - Salmon with avocado 49er Roll - California roll topped with salmon and lemon slices Tempura Roll - Shrimp tempura, avocado, kyu, lettuce and eel sauce Rainbow Roll - California roll topped with 4 kinds of fish and Salmon Lover Roll - salmon and avocado topped with MORE salmon and ikura! They were all good, however the Oshinko roll wasn't as "pickly" as I would've liked, so I would not get that again. Otherwise, it was a delicious treat for us! read more

First off I want to thank the owner for being kind and welcoming, he offered many options and had the food out super quick! Fresh steamed rice and amazing delicious sushi rolls. I had the salmon and avocado roll and the California roll bento box, both classic rolls 10/10 recommend. Food portion was plentiful and ambiance was great. Parking was easy to find and park and there was plenty of parking especially during lunch rush when I got my food. Thank you again to the owner for being an excellent costumer of Lexus! read more

This is decent sushi in a pinch. My favorite from this place is the hamachi Kama (fish collar) which is available most of the time. It's not sushi, but a charbroiled part of the fish that is mostly overlooked. The service is quick for takeout and that's how I roll with this place. Always fresh. read more

Offers only take-out and delivery for Pandemic 2021. We thought there was dine-in but the door was blocked by a table and plastic covering. So call ahead to avoid waiting. They are located in a complex next to a USPS with plenty of parking spaces. Food tasted good and packaged neatly in plastic containers. Found the Koi Special Roll and Hamachi Kama to be smaller than what I expected but the Chicken Katsu was portioned generously. read more

I had some uber eats credit that I needed to use and I decided to give this place a try. I lucked out and picked right! I ordered: Katsu Don: Classic Katsu Don with the bonito flavored eggs on top with sauce over the rice. The Katsu portions were huge. The entire bowl was worth the price. I was able to save it for two meals. The taste was authentic. Beef Teriyaki: DELICIOUS. The beef was very high quality. Beef had a nice chargrilled taste. Teriyaki sauce was authentic. Perfectly cooked. One of my favorite dishes. Overall, high quality and portions for the price. read more

I am pleasantly surprised by Ikoi sushi! Whenever I order from a Japanese restaurant in Marin, I don't have too high expectations, but this place is fantastic. I ordered through doordash and it arrived about 30 minutes after ordering. We got chicken yaki udon, katsu Don bowl, spicy crunchy roll, and green tea cheesecake. The katsu Don is delicious and on the sweeter side, but having the radishes offset the sweetness and I've never thought of it before but tasted so delicious together with the katsu. Not to mention the donburi bowl was SO pretty! The yaki udon was good and on the salty side, you can definitely taste the sesame oil on the noodles. I haven't ever had green tea cheesecake, but it's AMAZING! read more

I've been getting takeout and dining in at this place for years. Their food is top-notch and the service is good too.

Excellent food, chef, and waiter. I had tempura vegetables which were delicious. The serving was so big I didn't think I could eat all of it. But, I did! Easy location and parking. Quiet, private atmosphere. I have been twice now, and will go again. read more

I really wanted to like Ikoi sushi as it is very close to the hotel I'm staying at for work. I travel quite frequently and often try ramen/sushi when I do. The good: The service was great, the location was cozy, and it had a nice theme to it. Food came out quickly and at the same time. Prices were very low, like pre covid low! The acceptable: Ramen broth lacked any depth, and the presentation was sub-par. Additions were on the light side, and cut so small they blended together, taking away from the contrast of the ingredients(I know, I know, sushi spot not specializing in ramen). The fish tasted fresh but was very thin, leading to imbalance in the roll. The bad: Egg was HARD boiled, like to the point the yoke was dry, crumbly, and had those sulfury notes to it. The roll was absolutely packed with "crab" and to my surprise, it was very warm. Roll had no balance, and I could not get over the cool fish avocado and rice with a warm crab center. read more

We had a family dinner here on Saturday and the service was excellent. They were very busy with to-go orders, and every table was full. It's great to see Ikoi thriving. Our food was great. Sushi, tempura, soups, sashimi, seaweed salad, all was fresh and beautifully prepared. Our server was tops--always bringing more hot tea and clearing dishes. She gave great advice about how much we should order, too. Even though it was busy, we could hear each other talk. It was pleasant--not rushed. Lots of families and casual diners. We're fans. read more
