    Lunch Special
    Jenn F.

    First time visiting. We tried the hibachi meals and they were good. We had to have them made gluten free which they accomidated. No gf salad or soup option however. I do wish they offered lunch portions and pricing. The staff was very sweet, and the restaurant was clean with decor I really liked. Parking was a bit tricky in front, but there's additional parking on the side and in back.

    The food is super good! I eat a lot of sushi and know when fish is fresh or not good quality and the fish here was really soft and good quality. I'm glad so find a new sushi spot, however the ramen is a little interesting on flavor, almost tasting more mexican-ish than traditionally ramen but it still had a good flavor. The service was quick and the restaurant is super beautiful/ clean inside.

    the sushi was not good. the ratio of crab in both the california and alaska roll was very high. the service was good for the 2 stars. bit different than expected.

    We ordered our food, and marked our sushi rolls on the paper that was given to us. We never received the such rolls, and when we inquired about them.... I was told that we did not order any on the paper. The waitress brought the paper to the table and proceeded to show me that we did NOT order any, BUT WE DID, I promptly pointed out the marked rolls. The food was subpar, the beef in our teriyaki bento box was very tough, and over cooked. The rice on the plate was hard and cold. It was almost as if they put it on the plate and let it sit there all afternoon until someone car and ordered the plate. The tempura was very dry and over fried. When we finally received the sushi, it was over sauced and horrible. Cut very uneven, and not even chewable. I spitting in a napkin. No wasabi given with the sushi either. Portions are super small. I would definitely not come back.

    Hands-down one of my favorite spots for fresh, high-quality sushi with a cozy and welcoming vibe. Whether you're dining in or picking up, the staff are always friendly and attentive, and the service is quick without feeling rushed. The menu has a great variety--from classic nigiri and sashimi to creative rolls that are beautifully plated and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for a date night, a casual dinner, or even solo sushi cravings. Everything tastes fresh, and the quality never disappoints.

    I've tried many sushi spots around Denton, but this one will always be my favorite. I keep coming back because the quality is consistently amazing and the portions are so generous--I always leave full and happy. I usually order the same favorites, sometimes adding something new, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, which makes it the perfect place to really enjoy your meal. The staff are always so kind and welcoming. I truly love coming here, and it's my favorite little sushi spot in Denton. Highly recommend

    Chef's Special

    I had been following Koji on Instagram and wanted to try them. I finally had a chance and was greeted upon entering. The restaurant was so cute and nicely decorated. I wanted to place an order to go and escorted to a table to sit and look over the menu options. I specifically asked if they had riceless rolls and was pleasantly surprised they had many options. My order consisted of the following: Flying Fish Roe (Tobiko) not riceless but love the tobiko! Vegetable Tempura was hot and fresh Now for the riceless rolls: Chef's Special - 4 kinds of fish, crab, Japanese carrots, asparagus, avocado, wrapped in cucumber and tobigo with pozu sauce. Butterfly Kiss, spicy - special crab wrapped in salmon with ponzu sauce with avocado. Spring Roll - tuna, whitefish, crab, asparagus, avocado, mango, lettuce, cilantro, wrapped in rice paper with a sweet chili sauce. Caribbean Roll - yummy salmon, tuna, crab, avocado, asparagus, mango,and yamagobo in rice paper. Everything was so good without all of the carbs from the rice. While waiting, I was given the cutie rolls to try. So tasty. I had enough for 3 meals. They did a decent amount of to-go orders when I was waiting and started to get busy with dine in patrons. A great neighborhood find. Will definitely be back.

    I've been coming here since they first opened and it quickly became my favorite sushi spot in Denton. Fast and friendly service and the fish always tastes fresh, and very clean in the restaurant as well. Highly recommend!!

    KOJI SUSHI 04/19/24 Me and my Grandson had lunch here and as was the last time it was awesome. Very comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. I had made my mind up that next time I came here I was going to have appetizers for my meal so that is what I did! My grandson had The Tempura Udon! Noodle soup with thick wheat noodles, crunchy shrimp tempura, and chopped shallots/scallions with Dashi-based broth. We shared: Heart Attack - Deep fried jalapeño with crab, cream cheese. Monkey Head - Deep fried mushroom w spicy tuna, crab Crab Monster - Deep fried crab, cream cheese, jalapeño with Wonton. Cutie Roll - Special crab, avocado wrapped In cucumber with ponzu sauce Food was freshly prepared and served hot. Flavors were great. I can't make my mind up on my favorite item! All were very flavorful and delicious. We will be back!

    Not bad for my first time here! Sushi was really appetizing. Walked in during the week for lunch and it was not packed at all with opening seating. This place is fairly new so staff were very attentive. Would check it out again.

    Two rolls -- can't remember the names and two cuties.

    Mid but quick service. They just can't get the sushi rice right. Always slightly dry. Doesn't taste like sushi rice.

    Keiichi - Tasmanian Sea Trout

    Look, I'm a skeptical person. And so, I automatically think that a place with rave reviews spanning…read moreover a decade can't truly still be all that. Well, I'm here to tell you: it really is. It truly is all that. I read somewhere else that Keiichi truly shines with their appetizers, and I must concur. We ordered four apps, but our absolute favorites were: - Beef and Jalapeño Cream Cheese Roll: Please do not be deterred by the cream cheese. It was tastefully added and wasn't overwhelming at all. Also, that beef? DIVINE. -Marinated Tuna with Fresh Guacamole: An unlikely combination that constantly proves it deserves to be put together. Each bite was a flavor bomb in your mouth. We also got the Tasmanian Sea Trout and the Baby Yellowtail Carpaccio. They were very good, but nothing you can't have at another fancy sushi restaurant. We ordered three nigiris: * Squid * Scallop * Eel All very good, but again, nothing you can't have at another fancy sushi restaurant with quality fish. We didn't order classics like salmon and yellowtail because we'd already had them in our appetizers. The beef miso soup was also delectable. We didn't care as much for the beef by the end of the soup, so we'd probably just get the regular miso soup next time. For our entrée, we ordered the mushroom risotto to share. The risotto was definitely some of the best we've had in Dallas. Iirc, monarch has our favorite risotto. This was close to it. And I say this as someone who doesn't like mushrooms very much. Something we'd like to try next time: - Spicy Tuna Tartare Finally - dessert. We ordered a tiramisu and shared it with two strangers seated beside us. They ordered the green tea tiramisu and shared that with us. We enjoyed both variants. My wife and the other couple felt the traditional tiramisu lacked espresso, so that would be the one change they'd prefer. I found it good as is. So there you have it - that's the food. But that's only one part of the experience. The other part is snagging a reservation! I first tried securing a reservation back in October 2024 but was unsuccessful. I tried again in October 2025 and was finally able to snag a reservation for September 2026. So this dining experience was 2 years in the making! I can see why reservations sell out so quickly though. The chef can only accommodate 10 seats per seating and is only open a few days of the week. Furthermore, he has a dedicated fan following. Of which, my wife and I will proudly be a part of. Food and reservations are two parts of a three piece puzzle, though. For us, the third and final piece was the people we dined with. They were all incredibly kind, vocal, and passionate foodies. Everyone loved food and wanted to tell the others what they'd ordered and how much they enjoyed it. Because of that, a lot of us ended up ordering things the others recommended and were blown away each time. All that led to some interesting banter and very insightful and engaging conversations. I'm very happy we were able to get a reservation and were seated with such great people. I look forward to coming again, should we be lucky enough to secure a reservation in time.

    I am officially calling off the hunt for a table at Keiichi…read more I literally pass by this place 2X a day, yet trying to snag one of its supposed 10 seats has become an exercise in absurdity. Today is October 1st, the one magical day of the year when reservations allegedly open up, only to be completely booked for the entire year within a week. To make matters worse, no one is answering the telephone today, and the voicemail box is already full--talk about arrogance... At this point? I'm letting go of the chase, and frankly, I feel relieved. Here is why: *The Vibe & The Chef: Working within walking distance, the overall feel of the place just doesn't live up to the hype. I've run into the chef at the local "Murder Kroger" on more than one occasion, and "rude" is an understatement. If that's the demeanor extended to neighbors, I have zero desire to sit at his counter. *Sanitation & Safety Concerns: Knowing it's a one-man operation, I genuinely question the health, sanitation, and food safety handling here. Honestly, several Denton restaurants could use a visit from Marvin Zindler to check for "slime in the ice machine" --iykyk. Think about it: when we were younger, dirt pies were yummy, and an Easy-Bake Oven (in our bedrooms) did the trick! *Overpriced & Overrated: A quick scroll through other Yelpers confirms what I've suspected for a while: the experience is vastly overpriced for what you actually get. *The "Lisa C." Mystery: Shaking my head at Yelper Lisa C., who has left so many glowing reviews here that I'm convinced she must hold an ownership stake in the business. I actually reached out to her directly to get an honest take, and even she gave me a bizarrely vague response despite her constant visits. *Lack of "Color": I'll just leave this right here... I've successfully acquired far more elusive tables at world-renowned restaurants across the country. Hard-to-get reservations aren't new to me, but they have to be worth the reward. Watching this place daily, reading the experiences of others, and dealing with the gatekeeping around a 10-seat dining room has made one thing clear: Keiichi simply isn't worth the hassle. I'll let someone else play the annual reservation lottery.

The broth and flavors were great, actually on par with just about any other ramen I've had. I liked at the menu picture and argued if I wanted an extra egg or pork. As it turns out should have ordered a little extra of both. The pork was two tiny pieces, at most other ramen huts it would be about half a piece. I did order an extra egg, the menu picture showed two halves so thought I would get two eggs, trying to add some protein to the meal. I ended up with one egg vice two. Overall not very filling, but the flavor was amazing. If you are looking for a well made ramen with an exceptional broth then this will be your place. If you're looking to fill up I'd figure out your order to ensure that happens.

Their combination fried rice is also a solid pick if you're looking for something extra filling. Everything's always fresh, and you can add tons of toppings (avocado and cream cheese cost extra, but most toppings are included). My favorite sauce mix is the spicy mayo and ponzu. Plus, they always throw a little treat in the to-go bag, like Starburst, which I think is a great touch. During Lent, especially on Fridays, it can get pretty packed, but most of the year it's a nice, quiet spot for lunch. Parking at lunchtime can be a bit tricky, though - I've sometimes had to park by McAlister's or the Armed Forces Career Center and walk over, or drive around until a spot opens up. I usually order online, and while I wish they had an app to make it even easier, their service is impressively fast. I can place an order when I leave work, and by the time I get there - about 10 minutes later - it's ready to go.
