Koya Sushi in Whittier on Washington is definitely one of my favorite spots! Everything is always fresh, delicious, and made with so much care. Service there is wonderfu! Their bento boxes are SO good! You get a little bit of everything, and the portions are generous and satisfying. It's the perfect option when you want to try different things in one meal. And miso soup my fav!!!!! I LOVE their Thai tea!!! 10/10 -- highly recommend! read more

I found the service and ambiance to be most pleasing considering I didn't have high expectations. I appreciate all the art and interior design as it offered something pretty to gawk at while i waited for my food. The final verdict laid in the food: and I was surprised to say the least. The flavors coming from the back of that little kitchen were superb and I am excited to say I will be coming back. read more

A nice, unsuspecting sushi restaurant with friendly staff and great rolls. My go to for delicious Japanese cuisine at a reasonable price. Used to live in the area, now I make it a point to drive out here just for the food. Owner is a hard working and dedicated person. I remember I went here during the historic US election and owner let staff leave early and was managing the restaurant alone just to ensure they had time to go out and vote before polls closed. Very respectable. Staff are always kind and seem to be glad to work there. Can't recommend the place enough. read more

I love this place. Not too many sushi spots in Whittier so this is my local spot. I like the ichiban chicken and the bento box specials the most. I'm a repeat takeout customer that highly recommends this place. read more

Food here tastes pretty bad. Chicken teriyaki is drenched in sauce. Potstickers were soft and chewy, and the soy sauce they give is terrible. If they used a better brand, the rolls would taste so much better. read more

It honestly makes me sad to write this because this used to be my go-to sushi spot. Unfortunately, today was a really disappointing experience. We were seated, placed our order, and received our drinks--but that's where the service stopped. We ended up waiting about an hour while watching other tables, including people who arrived after us, get served multiple rounds of sushi. Meanwhile, no one checked in on us, offered refills, or provided any updates on our order. It started to feel frustrating and honestly a bit embarrassing just sitting there being overlooked. After finishing our drinks and still not receiving any food or communication, we decided to ask for our check and cancel the order altogether. Really disappointed, especially because this has always been a spot I enjoyed. I hope this was just an off day, but it definitely changed my experience. read more

Every time I have ordered online there's always a problem. They either can't ring me up cus their system or they don't have my order ready till 20 min after their suggested pick up time. Today my girl and I decided to dine in for my BDay. We ordered our drinks as we picked out our rolls and appetizers and patiently waited. 2 parties came in after us... they had food and drinks soon after... my girl and I.? Still nothing but our empty glasses and table. We gave this place a sit down shot... there's plenty of other places out here for sushi. This is just not IT. FOR ME. Trust me just go to a place with 4 stars and up. read more

Went yesterday for dinner. Got the all you can eat and it was delicious! My favorites are the salmon carpaccio, sashimi salad orange blossom, baked lobster roll, and the dragon roll! Everything was delicious and beautiful. Service is friendly and prompt. I like the service call buttons they have. Very helpful. They did forget some of our orders, but when you get 3 rounds, it's not a big deal. Especially since we've never made it past 2 rounds. read more

What do you expect from all-you-can-eat sushi? Just think about it for a sec. Yeah, it's mid. As a big back, AYCE spots are very appealing, however, just because I am a big back does not mean I'll ingest anything and everything. While Koya wasn't the worst place I've been to, it's for sure not a spot I'd recommend or come back to. Prices are ok, service was average, but the food is just super mediocre. Nothing tasted fresh and we tried several rolls. I'm the person that usually over orders at an AYCE and immediately regrets it. The food was so blah that I ended up having to eat everyone's leftovers so we wouldn't get billed for it and boy it was not fun. Would not recommend, although, again... it isn't the worst place I've been to. 4/10. read more

I gave this place a try 3 times. All 3 times I left...unsatisfied. I wont likely return for the food. The food is mediocre at best. The green tea however was delightful, and the only reason I gave a second star. Last time I was here we got the lunch specials and all the rolls looked/tasted day old. Certainly not fresh. I figured thats probably where the "special" comes in. Fine. My recent visit I didnt even see a "special" menu. Maybe I just didnt look for it. It still didnt taste as fresh as I would like. It's apparent that this is just not the place to go for sushi. Service is average. Nothing out of expected service. I might stop by for the green tea if I'm nearby but most definitely not to eat. read more

DISGUSTING! I don't recommend this place to anyone. The Fuji sushi rolls & crunch rolls that we ordered had a flavor as if something went bad. The teriyaki beef & chicken that we ordered tasted weird and rubbery. The only thing we enjoyed was the white rice that came with our bento box and the gyozas. read more

KOYA SUSHI - Beef and chicken Teriyaki Bento BOX... the meat was disgusting. - Japanese Near Me - Whittier, California

My father is older and a creature of habit so we like to take him to Koya but will no longer be going there. If you're a table of 3 it's no issue, but if you're a big party expect to be there for at least 2 hours for 2 rounds of AYCE. They usually only have one server, and they rely heavily on to go orders which I believe utilizes all of their resources. It took at least 30 min just to get a couple of appetizers, and. when I say a couple it was 6 gyozas and 2 egg rolls, and at that time the place was essentially empty, Food is ok but service is lacking. read more

KOYA SUSHI - 04/08/26 12:30 order from postmates Worse Raman ever taste in my life . Have you guys ever tasted what you cook ? - Japanese Near Me - Whittier, California

I had the AYCE sushi and it sucked. Nothing tasted fresh. It all tasted old and rubbery, which for sushi is particularly disgusting. The chicken teriyaki rolls were inedible. The chicken was hard, dry and just horrible. Not only did the food suck, but it was overpriced. Ive had way better AYCE sushi that was WAYYY better than this crap...and it was cheaper. Did I mention this place sucks? So yeah, don't come here. Save your money and don't waste it on mediocre, subpar crap like this. read more

Tried this spot out for the AYCE and wanted to try a new sushi spot.. man was I disappointed. It was not busy at all for a Sunday, service was still slow to help. Let's just say we were also very happy to pay the left over food fee because the food was definitely not up to par. The taste of the food was unpleasant, rubbery, and some just inedible. The fried food was okay like the dumplings but definitely feels like that is prepackaged. Just overall unsatisfied with the experience and food. The place is a nice size but the food is what would stop me from coming back to try again. read more

I ordered a baked lobster roll from door dash. It was not good, not baked. There was also shredded onion, I am not a fan of that.

Prices are good but the food lacks flavour. Go to Aikan for ayce, we struggled to finish the food. We love sushi, eat it multiple times a month but this place was a struggle to eat. If you haven't had other places i can see how you would like it but if you've had better this will seem bland and not so cold. Great for those who can't eat strong flavoured food. Maybe it was just today cause we came here once before and i don't remember it being this bland read more

Not a bad place for all you can eat sushi. They have a lot of options and special rolls that are included. It was $35/person and you can order 3 rounds. The miso soup was great and I enjoyed the sushi I tried. The service was a little slow but everything else was great. A low key place with good food. read more

In a busy shopping center you'll find this affordable sushi location. They have all you can eat and order individually. This place works because not everyone has to order all you can eat like other places . Great place to satisfy craving at an affordable price. The place ambiance is not trendy or even modern. But, it is definitely clean . Which is appreciated! read more

Customer service ! My first time eating there it was hardly any people there and he took almost 15 minutes before they acknowledge us that we were ready to order food ok not very friendly ! I will not come back read more

I've never gotten AYCE at this place because I'm not a fan of stuffing myself, but the food looks good. I've ordered the salmon teriyaki bento, and salmon sashimi and other sushi a la carte. It was very good. I drop by this place when I'm passing through the area on the 605 Freeway, and needing to charge my electric car on the EvGO chargers in the parking lot. Service is usually good, nice servers. No frills place with booth seating available. read more

Just came on here to warn people NOT to get the ramen! It tasted exactly like instant ramen and the bamboo shoots made it taste weird. And the egg was hard boiled good lord. Absolutely should not be worth nearly 20$ - that is a joke and I got fooled by the BOGO deal. Worst ramen i've ever that much money for, and I am not exaggerating. No disrespect, just facts and hopefully the restaurant can take this feedback and improve it, or just remove it from the menu Other than that, the rolls are decent. Just a little too much imitation crab, but they're edible. read more

I get here at 8:25 and the girl asked me to order to go. F this place, I wanted all you can eat. There was plenty of time. They just lost a customer. Don't eat here, it sucks! read more

Love this place! Quality ayce sushi restaurant. Service is fast, they don't play the trick to make you wait forever (like some other ayce restaurants would do) between orders read more

The food is delicious...But the service has gotten very lousy...Ordered a Hot Sake waited over 30 mints....

It was not a great experience- To start they wiped down the table with a really nasty smelling rag- we were all gagging and grabbed a hand sanitizer and napkins to try and cut the smell- the germ freak in me, was really grossed out about them using a very nasty smelling towel to clean the table, then how clean is the kitchen? After that we seemed to have to wait forever just to order- this restaurant was not incredibly busy, but they did have a constast stream of online to-go orders. When we ordered- two in our party got the AYCE meals and the other two ordered bento boxes. The AYCE group got the first round of orders pretty quick- but our other people didn't get their meals until we were on round 2 of the AYCE sushi- This made my family incredibly hangry and ended up making this restaurant a no - go for the future. THE AYCE was alright, I just wish it had shrimp tempura and the fried tofu on it... The best roll was the ALASKA ROLL- that one was fabulous. read more

Very clean nice service. They now service Boba drinks as well. They still have the AYCE options if you prefer that.

Small portion, ordered salmon love for $18, but portion seemed like an ayce sushi portion. Also ordered sauces on side and did not get the chili oil that was supposed to go on it. Instead got a mediocre eel sauce and a spicy mayo that was not good. Place was pretty empty and now I know why. read more

I am so thankful for the Koya team. There was a problem with my order, which I later realized was my mistake. They went above and beyond and did everything they could to help me, even after I realized that it was my mess up and let them know. They are incredibly sweet and I can't wait to support them again with my business. The food was wonderful too. I have been going to Koya since it opened, though admittedly a little less than usual since I moved. Their food has been consistently great throughout the Pandemic and beyond. I would highly recommend the AYCE sushi and the seafood plate. read more
