    The AYCE sushi was good and the service was wonderful! The server and owner were very kind to mom's 90th birthday celebration. Surprised her with ice cream boat and singing. Food was incredible and delicious! They gave you abundantly good and enormous amount of food! Must try this place out!

    I love AYCE. The sushi was fresh out server Hannah was super sweet and bubbly. Everything is ordered on the tablet. Too bad their happy hour is just beer. I loved the decor especially the shiny disco bear lol

    Shrimp Tempura

    I visited here while on a work trip with a few colleagues to catch up, and overall we had a great time here as the space was quiet and allowed us to have good conversations. In terms of food quality, it was pretty good, as majority of the items were tasty in conventional manners, which meant good and not really having a lot of highlight moments. Each piece of sashimi was only $1 which made it overall affordable and a good experience to try multiple types of sashimi. Most of the appetizers such as the shrimp tempura, the crab stick tempura, and so on, were also very affordable. Since neither my colleagues or I were big eaters, those appetizers themselves were able to make us quite full. We also had a couple of special rolls and enjoyed them. There weren't much to say about how they tasted other than they offered a conventionally good special roll experience. Because of its walkable location, I could imagine many people that worked within the area use this spot as a convenient lunch place, and I would endorse that myself as well.

    This place was so cute and in all honesty is probably the second best sushi spot I've been to in Phoenix. To place an order for food you don't have to wait for the waiter and everything was placed by using an IPad which is something that I've never seen before and I thought it was very innovative. The decorations on the inside are cute and I wish that my mom liked sushi because she would love to explore the restaurant and take pictures.

    Salmon nigiri

    My new favorite AYCE sushi. I haven't been multiple times and keep bringing my friends back. I live that you order with a tablet, so you don't have to bother the waitress, and they don't forget to put your order in. We tried their apps, noodles, and carpaccios, all so good. My absolute favorite is the seared salmon nigiri. Their nigiri really impressed me, the rice portion isn't huge, and the presentation was still good! I have been let down by a lot of AYCE sushi spots but this is not one of them! They're not too busy and the interior is decorated, clean, and spacious.

    I've been here a few times for dinner and have always had a good experience. One thing to know ahead of time is that the whole table has to choose either the à la carte menu or the all-you-can-eat option and you can't mix the two. The all-you-can-eat is around $34 per person, and honestly it's a great deal. You order from a tablet and they bring out up to four items at a time, which makes it easy to try a variety without over-ordering. On this visit I had the udon with shrimp tempura along with several sushi selections, and everything was fresh and nicely presented. I also like that they bring out multiple sauces, ginger, and sides and it makes the meal feel more complete. Service has always been friendly, the space is clean and comfortable, and it's a reliable dinner spot in Tempe that I'll keep coming back to.

    I found out about Koi Sushi online and thought it looked awesome. Located in Tempe, right off the highway, I think it shares a parking lot/area with a hotel. When I arrived around 545p on a Thursday, the parking lot closest to the restaurant was pretty full. Some of my friends had to park a little further. So just be aware of that. I don't think they offer reservations, but our party of 8 was seated immediately which was great! I LOVED the ambiance here, everything was so pretty and colorful. We all did the AYCE sushi lover deal which gives you access to the entire menu, minus the sashimi. There were a few iPads for us to order from and the food came out pretty quickly afterwards. Marcus and Brian were our servers and were super awesome and friendly. Some of the items I tried were: Las Vegas Roll, Koi Signature Roll, Popcorn Lobster Roll, Tropical Romance Roll and California Roll. These were all great, but the one that stood out the most to me was the Sweet Potato Hand roll, which was very flavorful and delicious, I would recommend this. We also ordered the following appetizers: cream cheese wontons, jalapeño poppers, yakisoba noodles and the golden buns which was probably another favorite of mine. Everything was great! Other items that were ordered that people liked were the spring rolls, fried rice and crimson lover roll. We also tried the ice cream and I really liked the cookies and cream flavor the most but the green tea was a close second. I can't recommend this place enough and will definitely be back.

    Koi Sushi is a fairly new AYCE sushi restaurant in this area. We came here for an early dinner on Valentine's Day, and it was definitely already packed. They gave us a restaurant pager to alert us when our table was ready, and it only took about 10 minutes! The ambiance inside is absolutely stunning. There's accents of gold all around the restaurant, and it really feels like you're in a fancy, high end place. I also suggest checking out the bathroom, it's gorgeous! What I love the most about this restaurant is that each table has a tablet to place your order. This makes it not only easier but much faster for your food to come out. Once your order is submitted, a robot will deliver your food at your table. The quality of the fish is nice and fresh, and everything tasted great. The menu is extensive and they have so many alternate options other than sushi. Will definitely be coming back here!

    I came here on March 20th around 7pm, and wow, this place was packed! The quoted wait time for a table of three was about an hour and a half. Honestly, we almost went somewhere else, but the manager was so friendly and genuine that we decided to stick it out. I'm glad we did because we were seated in about 50 minutes, which wasn't bad at all considering how busy it was. Once we sat down, our server greeted us with a big smile and made us feel right at home. We ordered some hot sake to start (because why not?) and began with a few simple rolls. Everything was good, but when the sashimi came out, game changer. The pieces were massive, and the salmon literally melted in your mouth. My personal favorite was the eel, perfectly tender and full of flavor. Bonus points for having fresh wasabi available for a small upcharge, but totally worth it. The only miss for me was that any roll with mayo turned into a bit of a mushy situation. It kind of overpowered the other flavors. Not a dealbreaker, but something I'll keep an eye on for next time. Overall, Koi absolutely earned a second visit. Between the friendly service, generous portions, and that melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, it's easy to see why this spot stays so busy.

    Such a beautiful AYCE sushi place! I do love how there is vegetable sushi choices and lots of great side dishes and appetizers. My favorite was the sweet potato sushi. The sweet potato was deep fried and had the perfect crunch. James our server was spectacular. Once the tablet is set up you can order up to 12 items at a time with a 5 minute buffer. You also get to pick your tier of choice. Lunch is $24.99 from 11am-3pm which does not include eel, koi sig, crazy tuna, popcorn lobster, and carpaccio. Sushi tier is $34.99 which includes a limit of 3 carpaccio. Then Sashimi at $42.99 that has unlimited carpaccio. With a choice of 3 out of 5 (soft shell crab, snowcrab leg, wagyu beef nigiri, Japanese scallop, sweet shrimp). I would definitely come back to koi sushi. We were seated quickly, but unfortunately our table wasn't acknowledged and after 10 minutes my boyfriend said something. I understand places get busy but a "be right with you" would be nice.

    Crimson heart roll
    Hallie S.

    If you are craving all you can eat sushi, Koi Sushi is the place to go. We went for the all you can eat $35 dinner during the week and left STUFFED. For the dinner deal we got, we got three orders of carpaccio included which were all amazing. My favorite roll of the night was the crimson heart, by far. The Las Vegas roll was also amazing, but that's usually my favorite whenever I go to sushi. We sat in the front of the restaurant and got there before the crowd so our service was really fast. I love how hip this place is with cool anime characters on the wall behind where they make the sushi and eye catching decor when you walk in. Our server said they're getting their liquor license soon so I'd imagine they'd have sake soon too. Check it out!

    Kani salad
    Lea G.

    This place was honestly really good and hit just the right spot! Our waiter was also very friendly and helpful and made our experience even better. The place was really clean and had a cool atmosphere. The sushi pieces were huge they definitely didn't skimp out on the amount of fish. Overall, I really delicious and will definitely be back with more friends!

    Fried rice
    Susan N.

    I didn't hate or love Koi, I thought the food was just fine. It would have lowered my rating to a 3/5 but the service was fantastic and the AYCE pricing is unbeatable. All of the rolls tasted average. Nothing stood out. We don't like the super complicated rolls that have tons of sauce or toppings. We prefer to eat rolls that are simple so there was nothing really to like or dislike. The yellowtail roll was fresh. I did not like the spicy salmon or spicy tuna roll though.. it tasted grainy and had filler in it or something. We had a few nigiri options and those were ok too. I really liked the fried rice though -- great flavor. A few servers checking on us throughout our meal -- waters were always filled, dirty plates were always cleared, and food came out fast. We were happy with the service. The portions are great -- on the smaller side so you can try a variety without filling up on any options. The price is really good during lunch and we left full. We would come back to Koi for another try.

I've been countless times over the many years and I will always find myself coming back. I had it again recently after a while with 2 friends who've never been before and the seared tuna sashimi, sicilian hamachi, and surf n turf roll was delectable. the fish and sushi roll slices also seemed to be so much more bigger than I remembered, the portion sizes were hefty! I always love introducing my friends to kuka because of how good it is, and I have to tell them that after trying kuka no sushi restaurant will ever compare again lol sometimes the service is a little slow, so it's good to remember and get all your requests first thing in, or in the past I honestly have just gone up to the server myself and asked for whatever I needed. it's not super deterring for me though due to the amazing food that they have.

The space feels stylish and contemporary, with a sleek atmosphere that makes it perfect for both a casual dinner and a special night out. The menu is truly avant-garde! Creative, innovative, and full of intriguing options. That said, I have to admit I felt a little overwhelmed at first and wasn't sure what to order because everything sounded so interesting. In the end, I chose the Omakase Dinner "Buzz," and I absolutely loved the concept. It includes miso soup, 9 pieces of nigiri, a mini poke, and a 5-piece roll -- such a fantastic idea if you're undecided and want to try a bit of everything! I think it's a splendid option, especially for first-timers or anyone who wants a complete tasting experience without having to choose individual items. If I could change one small thing, it would be the roll selection. I wish there were an option to choose from the specialty rolls instead of only the basic ones. That extra flexibility would make the experience even better. Overall, the quality of the food was very good, and the overall experience was enjoyable. It's definitely a place worth visiting, and I'll certainly be back to try the curry and ramen next time!

Reviews are very good and so we gave it a try on a Saturday evening. When we arrived there were 2 people eating at the sushi counter, otherwise it was empty. During our time there another couple came in, so it was not busy and easy to get a table. The server was very friendly and service was great. For that I'll push my rating to 4 stars. For me, this place is personally 3.5/5. Everything was decent but nothing I would rave about. And that might just be me, because people love this place in other reviews. It was possibly just a bunch of little things that made me think it's just okay. I thought the texture of sushi rice was a bit too soft, I know it's sticky rice but I felt like it was a little over cooked and too soft. I also thought both of my rolls tasted exactly the same. Which thankfully I thought were good tasting. The stuffed jalapeños were definitely a miss, they were so under fried so mostly a mush of ingredients in a jalapeño. And initially I liked the karaage but had a couple of tough pieces, so overall that was just okay. Miso soup was solid. And I realize that the appetizers are cooked in the back and not by sushi chef, and people rave about the chef. However like I said, both rolls seemed pretty similar tasting and one was supposed to be more spicy. All very standard flavors, like I would expect from AYCE sushi. I think I'm just looking for more delicate flavors with higher quality pieces of fish. I likely should have tried some of the special items listed on the rotating items board near the sushi bar. Next time we go back I'll try sitting at the sushi bar and trying some speciality items. People have said this is the best way to enjoy this place. We will likely come back during a lunch or happy hour special, if I like it better and I can upgrade my review I'd be happy to give this small, local family run business all the stars.
