    Sweet tea
    Allan P.

    This is nice little casual Japanese restaurant in the heart of downtown Long Beach. I just happen to be in the area and was craving some Japanese food. The reason why I did not give it a full 5 on it. No fault on them. Great location, however, very poor parking situation. And small restaurant. They have several parking spaces off the street and across the street. Low traffic but hard to find parking spots, if it is busy. Just so happen to go during the week day and during lunch hours. So lucked out. This is a wonderful restaurant if you are in the area. It is not a big location. You are greeted to a wonderful and friendly staff. You are welcome to sit anywhere you like or the staff can greet you and ask you where you prefer to sit. They offer several options to dine in. You may choose the sushi bar, booth seating, booth with chairs on the other side, and of course full table seating. The seating arrangements come cushions for you for the bottom and booths have it padded for your back. Regular chairs are just hard wood backing and little padding for them. Started out the food journey with Tuna Tataki (Seared tuna w. scallion and masago and ponzu sauce). Ordered the shrimp tempura bento box and ask for regular rice instead of fried rice. Ask for salad instead of miso soup. Also an order of sashimi lunch with salad. (10 pcs assorted raw fish w. white rice). The salad when you order it is mayonnaise base not your typical ginger dressing. Very good a sweet dressing taste. Hard to describe it but it is good. The food was delicious. Not bad for the area. I know it does not seem that busy. They recently opened. I am not sure how long those? And it was during the middle of the week during lunch. However, they were very busy with to go orders for lunch. I love how they do semi-crushed ice for your fountain drinks. Unlimited refills for them. If you are thirsty. I do not recommend regular ones. They may change you per drink. Definitely recommend giving them a try if you are in the area. If you are really hungry for sushi. Try your hand at the Love Boat (10 pcs sushi, 18 pcs sashimi w. rainbow roll and black dragon roll). If you have a large group. Highly recommend you order it to go. Due to limited seating. The staff is very friendly and the food is amazing! They offer military discount with ID. They offer WiFi but it is password protected and I am not sure it is free or not?

    Clear Soup

    We stopped here to eat dinner on a Saturday night around 5 pm. It's a small place, but wasn't busy, which is surprising because the food was very tasty! We ordered the clear soup and I love how much onions and mushrooms came in it! The vegetable spring rolls were a little mushy, but I still enjoyed eating them! The edamame was salty and delightful! I don't eat anything raw, so I normally go for the chicken or shrimp tempura roll! It was so good! We also tried the chicken yakisobi and it was nice as well. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They filled our drinks up consistently and the serving sizes were perfect! The restaurant looks clean and is in the cutest location! We can't wait to go back to try more!

    Not a hibachi review - that is the other side of the restaurant. That said I've been here twice -…read moreonce late in the evening on a weekend solo and once during the day with my mom for a lunch on the weekend. Both times were excellent. The servers are attentive, the prices are reasonable, and the sushi is AMAZING. The sashimi is fresh and honestly the best I've had since moving here. Add on that the restaurant feels chill and relaxed although a bit modern and cold for my taste it's not bad just different. Can't wait to come back and try the hibachi table next time

    Overall, Koi Sushi delivered a good dining experience with a few standout dishes and a couple of…read morequirks. We started with the edamame, which was a touch salty but still tasty. For sushi, we tried the Kimberly Roll and the Cao Roll, and both were excellent--easily the highlight of the meal. The Kimberly Roll, with its slight jalapeño kick on top, is a must-try for anyone who enjoys a little heat. The chicken and steak fried rice was another winner--flavorful and served in a very generous portion. The chicken katsu, breaded in panko, was good as well, but the sauce on the side was served cold. Our server mentioned that only their teriyaki sauce is served hot, which felt odd given that the dish itself comes out hot. In our humble opinion, heating up the sauces would make a big difference. Service was a B: a bit slow and not particularly warm, though not unfriendly. The ambiance matched what you'd expect from a hibachi-style restaurant--lively with the occasional flash of hibachi flames across the way, which adds some fun energy to the room. Bottom Line: Koi Sushi offers some great sushi and hearty portions, with the Kimberly Roll stealing the show. Service could be sharper and those cold sauces need attention, but if you're in Gulfport and craving sushi, it's worth a visit.

    Had an early dinner here a couple weeks ago; my apologies for the late review…read more I also don't know why it took me so long to eat at this place! But glad I finally did! There is limited seating and if you are dining during a weekend or an evening that falls on a weekend, I would suggest making reservations. Now.....onto the food - since that's what you're here for anyway ;-) We ordered a total of five sushi rolls: two spicy tuna hand rolls and three specialty rolls including Pebble Beach, the Cajun Roll, and the Shotgun. The spicy tuna rolls were wrapped and cut into normal bite-size pieces (which I appreciate) and were probably the freshest sushi rolls I've ever had. Out of the three specialty rolls, I mostly enjoyed the Pebble Beach and Shotgun; but my boyfriend loved all three of them! We had not one single piece left - which also meant no room for any other entrees or dessert; maybe next time! The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was very laid back. They do have a small selection of beer and you can have your own bottle of wine opened at the restaurant for a nominal fee. Check it out...you won't be disappointed!

    Pretty good, but not as good as it used to be! I haven't been here since before COVID. Not sure if…read moreScott still owns this restaurant or not, but he wasn't there last night. The sushi was pretty good, just not as flavorful as I remember it. The ginger dressing for the salad did not taste like it had ginger in it at all. It was more of a vinaigrette dressing - so that was pretty disappointing. My son and his girlfriend got the Miso soup and neither one of them liked their soup. My daughter got chicken tenders and fries (she isn't quite into sushi yet, or seafood at all). She said they were the best chicken tenders she ever had. I really wanted the Pebble Beach roll, that has always been my favorite. The waitress said they have been out of scallops for three months. She stated they could go to a grocery store to get them, but their chain restaurant has certain place they purchase their seafood. That was a bit surprising!!! I always thought this was a somewhat local test owned by one person. Maybe it was bought out after COVID???
