This was a phenomenal experience. We got off the ferry in St John and knew what beach we wanted to hit but didn't know where we wanted to eat! Stomachs were touching our ribs. So we followed some folks and landed at the inlet that led us to Karma. The ambiance was amazing. Fit our aesthetic preference perfectly - clean, outside seating that's covered, and a nice Afro house playlist that's uptempo. The sushi roll was fantastic. My beautiful date ate most of it. I said dang! Can I have some? The beer battered fish was fresh and not heavy. This is why I love island food. None of the processed seafood, mostly fresh. I appreciate that. The fries slapped too. The chicken tacos were also very good. No complaints, no edits with the food. The drinks? MAN, the spritzes were my choices. Loved them. Made with love and was super refreshing as a cucumber ginger type of drink at midday. The perfect hybrid between wellness and litness This will be our go-to lunch spot when we're back in St John. As always, the beautiful company made this dining experience even better ‍ read more

It's been over 15 years since we had a sushi restaurant, and this one is even better than what we had 15 years ago A lot better! If it was in the state, I probably would give it four stars but here to me it's a five. This island needs a good sushi restaurant. Everything we ordered was as good or better than what we expected This may be the most beautiful restaurant in St. John, With the beautiful view, I strongly suggest you come here at lunch or at dinner before it gets dark. It is just too beautiful, not to enjoy such a view I read other reviews before I came here. Almost everybody said everything was great, but the service was slow. Possibly the Restaurant was just starting to manage it properly but when we were there, I have nothing to complain about the service. I was very happy and I could come here weekly. Assuming I can afford it. It cost a lot. after tip for the two of us, it was over $500. I talked to the people at the table next-door because they were having meat. One was having a ribeye. I believe the other was having lamb chops. They both were very happy with what they got. That's great to know, because let's face it not everybody likes seafood. Many people who order a California roll at restaurants are not getting top Quality Crab. The crab in my California roll here was perfect. obviously other people appreciate this restaurant too, because it was filled. i'm thrilled I came to karma and I'm looking forward to be coming here regularly from this point on oh yeah, almost forgot because I'm not a big dessert lover. My wife ordered hot donuts with ice cream and whipped cream . We loved it, maybe I have to rethink about not caring about dessert. Bon appétit read more

Location by the water is great. Decor is nice and draws you in. Food was good. I was disappointed that I got two super watered down Diet Coke's at $5 each. The second one tasted like just water with a drop of Diet Coke. I got a veggie sushi roll and was charged for a California Roll. Server was nice. read more

We had the most fantastic time at Karma Beach Club! First off the place is aesthetically beautiful I'm sure I took atleast 50 pictures of the atmosphere alone. We arrived and were quickly seated with a stunning ocean view. We all ordered The Karma Roll which is Chefs Choice- each roll was unique and delicious! The spring rolls were equally delicious! This is a must try in Saint John! Don't leave the island without visiting here! read more

I visited Karma Beach Lounge with some friends and family while we were in town, and overall, I had a good experience; though there were a few things that kept it from being great. We came just for drinks since we had already eaten lunch, and I honestly wish we'd gone here first. The food menu looked really good with a lot of dishes I would've loved to try. Definitely something I'm keeping in mind for next time ( menu's definitely on the pricier side though) As for the drinks, they were really good, strong and well-mixed ; no complaints there. The only downside was that a few drinks we tried to order weren't available because they were out of some ingredients. That led to us switching to back up choices a couple of times, which was a little let down. Service was on the slower side, but I'll give them grace it didn't look really staffed at the time. They were doing their best, but the wait was noticeable. The best part was the ambiance. The lounge has a great setup with beautiful views and stylish decor. It's definitely a relaxing place to hang out. Even with the hiccups, I'd still recommend it. I plan to come back and actually try the food next time. read more

Not sure if we came on a bad day but they were pretty much out of a lot of stuff, including on the lunch menu. We ended up having to order on the regular menu, which was a huge bummer because we chose this place because we looked at the menu prior. Some of our food wasn't the greatest but they did have a good poke bowl. It is very pricey but I am assuming you're paying for the location. Our service was good and the waitress was very nice. Beautiful place and great views. The menus were very cool - they had a light inside of them. read more

First visit - after dinner drinks - espresso martinis were amazing! Ambiance at the bar was awesome. Great bartender, attentive service. We plan to come back for sushi and more cocktails! This would be a five star review except for the fact that, when we asked to close our tab, the bartender said, "$74." Ok. Woah. That seems like a lot for 3 drinks but, ok. I did a quick google search - does Karma Lounge include automatic gratuity? Yep. Yep. It does. So when we were given the credit card slip it said $74 PLUS a line for a tip. Kind of shady. We never saw the original bill. The $74 included a 20% gratuity but we were never told that or shown that on a bill. So, heads up, I guess. read more

So tbh we didn't actually eat here but there was a lot of promise. Wed been walking around quite a while and stopped to peak at the menu. The lunch menu had some simple options we were interested in, but it was dinner time and after we were seated we were told they didn't have those options. My mother has a shellfish allergy and we were told that because they'd been using the same fry oil for the shellfish she wouldn't be able to eat anything fried. She wanted chicken wings so unfortunately we ended up leaving, but appreciated they told us up front. Liked the ambiance a LOT - it's right on the bay where the passenger docs come in. Very modern, open airy decor. There were some folks smoking nearby because it's all outside which I actually really disliked so be aware of that but otherwise I think it would be a cute dinner/date spot. Last note - they had a menu with a backlight I've never seen that before! read more

The ambience of this place is wonderful. Beautiful restaurant with lovely view. G was our waiter and he was awesome doing all he could to serve us. The food was tasty we have the snapper which should have been deboned the wahoo was great and the sushi was delicious. However they brought it all out at different times. Many of us were done eating before others even started. And the prices were definitely steep. But overall lovely experience. read more

Both the food and the service could really improve here. I'm so disappointed, I really wanted to like this place. I spent 600 dollars here last night and I left hungry and unsatisfied. 1. We waited 15 minutes once sat to be greeted, then we waited another ten minutes for water. The theme of the night was waiting. We waited 35 minutes for appetizers. 2. We had a server who was unfamiliar with the menu (one of the people I was with asked if a sauce was made with tomatoes because it was unspecified on the menu, she assured her it wasn't and the dish came out not only in tomato sauce but with sliced tomatoes on top lol) she then told us that the kitchen would normally remake it but they're too busy tonight. 3. The food in general was lacking. I've never had a ceviche that was dry??? The leche de Tigre was not in the room with us. Absolutely no citrus present. It also came out with like six random sweet potato fries on top. Not great. The nigiri was butchered, I ordered two pieces of yellowtail and the way these things were sliced.. that tuna died for nothing. The bloodline was not even fully removed from the fish. Burnt herb crusted chicken, bland sea bass. It's like the kitchen was competing on who could give us the worst plate. The one thing I enjoyed was the interior design. That's where the one star is coming in. You may not get a good meal here but you will get a good picture. read more

We had a great lunch right on the beach at Karma. Fish tacos were excellent as was the grilled chicken sandwich. Our server Jasmine was lovely and gave us excellent service! read more

First, they automatically charge 20% gratuity on Every bill but they show still have tip line when you pay. They had fish specials but didn't tell us the prices. Husband's Fish was $110! What a scam! Expensive and skimpy sushi & sashimi. Go somewhere else! We won't be back! read more

Food was good not great and a bit pricey . Great location and good service with island ambiance

Yep. Loved the vibe here. Bougie place right on the water. Cushy seating and tables on the beach. Pricy food and drinks but they were good! Mostly serving sushi and burgers for lunch. Sushi was fresh. Service was slow. But slow down, you're in the island time! Views of the waters edge spectacular. This place is just to the right of the ferry dock. Short walk. Beautiful small public beach and shopping right there. Not much for kiddos to do. 9/10 read more

We visited Karma Beach Lounge with a party of six and, unfortunately, had a disappointing experience despite the excellent food. Drinks came quickly, but it went downhill from there. One guest's appetizer was completely missed, and four entrées arrived -- but not mine or my spouse's. Instead, we were brought only our sides (plantains and herb potatoes), and after waiting about 8 minutes while everyone else began eating, we finally had to escalate to the lead server. Our entrées arrived more than 12 minutes after the others, long after the rest of the table had started. The Seared Chilean Sea Bass itself was delicious, but it was hard to enjoy while eating so far out of sync with our group. The lead server did discount the entrées by 20%, which we appreciated, but at $55 per dish, the service should be much tighter. We also noticed that the forgotten appetizer was still on the bill and had to be removed. Also, read the fine print at the bottom of the menu - 20% gratuity is included on ALL checks regardless of the number in your party. So poor service can't be reflected in the tip :) Beautiful setting and great food -- but the execution and service need serious improvement. read more

This was by far the best meal I had on my trip to the USVI. The view is incredible, the staff were super friendly, and the food was FAR better than anything else I had on our trip. The sushi and poke bowls were fantastic and worth a trip back to St. John just for this place alone. read more

Great! We had an excellent experience! Our group of 6 were seated in a quiet niche right on the bay side -- admittedly I was insistent we be seated in a better spot than initially offered and then wanted the lights dimmed so our atmosphere was to our liking and instead of getting snippy with my persnickety requests, they were pleasant and catered to our desires going above and beyond to even bring candles to light our table...we had 5 different very good sushi rolls and yummy crab rangoon!! And are all pretty foodie-esque! Some reviews noted it's too pretentious for St, John -- we think it's a wonderful option if you don't want beach bar food all the time! read more

The best meal we have had on the island during our stay. The sea bass was incredible. So were the crab rangoons, mahi-mahi, and shrimp tempura bowl. The drinks were also delicious.

the food was amazing our server Nikki was super nice and attentive. and the ambiance is super comfy boho chic.

Food was good, basic sushi style entrees. Service was so so, the server did not have a very positive attitude, our entrees came out a half hour apart, although he did work on getting us a discount. Ambiance is upscale tropical lounge feeling, one thing that could be improved is giving blankets to guests that want it, as it can get chilly. read more

Beautiful beachside setting with especially stunning sunset views, creating a romantic atmosphere. Service was excellent and attentive. The Tuna Poke Bowl was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Chilean Sea Bass and Grilled Octopus were both outstanding, and the Old Fashioned and Dirty Martini were perfectly made.

Just finished dinner. Took about 50 minutes to get our food. Our server was not attentive at all. Ran 3 wrong drinks to our table and our entrees came out one by one 10 minutes apart so it was not a very nice family dinner. Food was alright, chicken was terribly dry. View was nice read more

The food was very good. Service was great. Patio sitting right on the water created a great ambiance.

Service was terrible. It took 20 minutes for them to remake a martini that they made wrong. How do you make a dirty martini the wrong way? They set our sushi appetizer down and served our main meals 1 minute later. Not worth the money. Ice cream dessert took 20 minutes and was 2 tablespoons of ice cream with chocolate on top. Horrible. read more
