    Tuna tataki, clear hibachi soup, salmon avocado roll, Thai tea
    Megan F.

    The staff were friendly and great. I ordered take out and just wasn't impressed with the food. The rice in the sushi was over powered with rice vinegar and the entire meal just wasn't as good as I was expecting. I will try dine in next time.

    Sushi appetizer, rainbow roll, spicy crunch white tuna hand roll, miso soup

    Koi has some of the best sushi I've had in Rhode Island. Very fresh, very diverse menu, very quick service. Good selection of imported and domestic beers. The ambiance leaves something to be desired but the booths are comfortable and the bar is lively. Highly recommend this spot for a quick, filling dinner. Takeout is also always prepared very well and travels nicely.

    The dinner bento box with beef negimaki and salmon teriyaki

    So delicious! I always get the bento box there because it's a great price for so much food, plus soup and salad! One of my favorite restaurants in Westerly!

    Pretty good Japanese restaurant on Westerly's High St. It was a quiet day for lunch, just a few locals popping in for a bite and a drink, and so we had a restful and restorative meal. Service was prompt and polite. The sushi and sashimi were very good, nicely presented, and fresh. My wife's salmon teriyaki was well prepared and the accompanying fried rice was outstanding. My tempura nabi was tasty and hot, with thick slippery udon noodles, a clean-tasting broth, and a pair of crisp tempura ebi. A satisfying meal!

    I've never had a bad experience at koi, both dine and for take out. They have a wide variety of sushi choice and the flavor and freshness can't be beat in this area. Service is always top notch and they always treat my young son with kindness and patience. Located right in downtown westerly, it's a perfect stop!

    Come on Yelpers, 4.5 stars for Koi? It's hardly an impressive venue, that is until you start eating the food, which in my opinion merited 5 stars on both occasions. We opted for takeout, and candidly thought the food here was great! My co-diner said Koi's shumai was the best she's ever had and ordered it twice. We also tried the gyoza, fried rice, and sake don (salmon), miso soup and house salad. The sake don was excellent, a substantial portion of salmon sashimi, served over tasty rice, accompanied by nicely prepared miso soup, and a small house salad. The house salad was mainly lettuce, but the dressing was nicely done. Our orders were ready on time, nicely packaged and ready to go. We ate our dinners in the beautiful Wilcox Park, which is essentially behind the restaurant, and offers fountains, a large fishpond, perennial gardens, lovely paths, and mature trees. It's a gem of a little park which is adjacent to the library. If we lived in the area, Koi would be our go to place for sure!

    Sushi was delish and presentation was great! Service efficient and ambiance chill. Sake nice and hot! No wait and plenty of seating:)

    Shrimp Tempura

    After an evening of drinking wine we walked down the street to Koi. It was later in the evening so it wasn't busy at all and the service was really quick! Started with a Shrimp Tempura roll. A little on the smaller side than what we are accustomed to getting, but it was very good. I had the Shrimp and Chicken Hibachi that was served with Hibachi Soup, Salad and Fried Rice. Also had a side of Noodles because I just had to! Lol. Everything was very tasty!

    In the mood to try a different spot in Westerly we ended up at Koi. It was later in the evening and we had no problem getting a table right away. The service was fast and friendly. We wanted to try out their sushi, so we ordered a shrimp tempura roll to start. It was very good, although a little smaller than other places. For dinner we both tried the shrimp and chicken hibachi. It came with the usual soup and salad. Everything was very good, with plenty left to take home. We would absolutely come back to Koi next time we are in the mood for sushi or hibachi in the area.

    Koi restaurant is a perfect spot when you are craving sushi, scorpion bowl, and a seafood veggie bento box (not necessarily in that order).

    This place was delicious. Looks small on the outside but it's pretty spacious. Right in the heart of downtown Westerly, we stumbled into this restaurant late at night while exploring the town. We were seated quickly and the staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the steak hibachi with noodles and my fiancé got his usual sushi + a special roll. We both absolutely LOVED our food! Everything was cooked and prepared perfectly. Truly a jem! 10 out of 10!

From the moment you walk in, the vibe hits just right. Warm lighting, a modern coastal feel, and a staff that treats you like a regular even on your first visit. It's the perfect after‑work escape or pre‑dinner stop, and the energy stays upbeat without ever feeling rushed. The happy hour menu is where River Bar really flexes. Thoughtful, well‑priced, and packed with flavor, it's clear they take just as much pride in these offerings as the main menu. The small plates come out fast, beautifully presented, and consistently delicious--exactly what you want when you're settling in with a drink and good company. Everything feels elevated but still approachable, the kind of food that makes you say "let's order one more" even when you know you're full. The drink specials are equally impressive. Creative cocktails, balanced pours, and bartenders who know how to craft something refreshing without overcomplicating it. Whether you're in the mood for something bright and citrusy or a smooth spirit‑forward sipper, they've got you covered. And of course--Nanas deserts.....If you know, you know. It's the kind of standout that becomes part of the ritual, the thing you tell friends they have to try when you bring them for the first time. Between the quality of the food, the unbeatable happy hour value, and the polished yet relaxed atmosphere, The River Bar has firmly earned its place as one of Westerly's best. A flawless five stars and an easy recommendation for anyone who loves great drinks, great bites, and a place that gets the details right. Cheers

The menu offers everything from soups and salads to scallop meals and sandwiches. Extremely well priced. There are about a dozen tables and a few high tops as well as a bar for seating. Parking is across the street. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. I wish they had brewed iced tea, but they said it only comes from the fountain. Ick! Ordered a bowl of clam chowder soup. Very creamy and good flavor. The clams seem to be gritty. Probably could use a good rinse before they are cooked. But overall, the flavor and consistency our clams and potatoes with each bite was nice. Ordered the cod sandwich with onion rings. The cod sandwich is quite large. Served on a brioche bun with tomatoes and lettuce and a lemon wedge It was served piping hot. The fish, although large and presentation was nice, it lacked flavor. The batter was not completely cooked toward the meat of the fish. You get your choice of side and we had onion rings. They were standard side, but cooked to perfection. Overall, I was pleased with this restaurant. I would give the ambience a five out of five, the weight staff service was five out of five and the food would be a solid four. I would definitely come back to this restaurant.
