The sushi here is so good and fresh. Truly the best sushi places I've ever been to. It's a little tight on the inside but a nice environment. The service is good and the staff is friendly. I had the shrimp tempura roll and it was so soft and delicious! 10/10 recommend and would come again! read more

Lots of rolls with shrimp Ordered mango tango- it was good Spicy salmon roll- it was okay The service was nice and food came out quick! read more

This place right here.... is very friendly and acomodating. My husband and I usually come here for lunch. The black rice sushi is the best. Fun fact: the black rice or a.k.a forbidden rice has the highest antioxidants of any rice, more protein, fiber and iron. Also only eaten by emperors in the ancient times. Those days are over! Now everyone gets to enjoy the benefits and savor this delicious rice. I try to have something New every time I come here. I tried their fried rice and it was very good. Not your typical Japanese fried rice but even better, if you are into caramelized onions this is for you! All and all I recomend this place. read more

I love this place. I come here whenever I had a free day off from work for lunch and it's wonderful. I'm a vegan and they have a nice selection of veggie rolls. They have really great lunch specials and their sushi is delicious and fresh. My favorite roll is the AAC roll. The people that work here are also very friendly and accommodating. This is probably my favs sushi spot in Montclair because it's low key and the food is delicious. read more

Very good local sushi spot. It's small so it can get packed on dinner nights, its also right next to the train station so a lot of people just get food on their way home from here. its BYOB and there is a liquor store next door. Food is very good, I am a fan of the black rice which also adds to the presentation of the food. The food is always fresh here and the service is attentive. They have Japanese soda here, so ask and give it a try also! read more

Just found this spot a few months ago. Excellent sushi and great service. (When we make an especially big order they throw in some surprises too.) read more

Went for Daily Lunch Special Food - 4/5. The food is pretty good. The miso soup is light and so is the salad. The sushi and sashimi are fresh and taste fine. Everything is just a bit above average. Service - 4/5. Service was fine but they seemed a bit annoyed when they found out I can understand what they are saying, which made it a little bit awkward. Value - 4/5. Sushi restaurants have a lot of competition as their menus and pricing are very similar. The selection here is pretty basic and doesn't stand out too much at the $15 price point. It does not mean the food was bad, but it was kind of unmemorable. Parking - Street (Metered) read more

Sushi is really good and they have amazing service. Outside seating is a bonus. Also good for kids

Great sushi spot. This is more of a specials place although their regular rolls are good but the specials are well ...special. You need to like sauces as they are saucy rolls but they taste great especially the OMG roll. They have seating indoors and out and have fast takeout or delivery which is pretty much all you can ask from a local sushi spot read more

very disappointed. tried to get a table at 8:59 - published closing time is 9:30- still many people sitting eating on a Saturday night. Was told "we are closed.". won't be going back. forced to give a star in order to post review but was not able to taste the food so don't know...but will not go back to find out. read more

it's so good i cried a little and the fact that the gave me complimentary Japanese tacos I couldn't contain myself. Their hospitality was awesome from the minute I walked in, as I sat down to wait for my order I was offers tea or water, I took the tea which I loved. It was just great over all. read more

Great service and great food quality. Sometimes when I go to sushi places I get this bloated/'i need a nap' feeling after but here I was very content and awake to continue on with my afternoon. They have a good selection of entrees if you are not in the mood for sushi; and that's what I like, they have more than just a sushi menu. definitely plan to come back with some friends and or family! read more

Sushi Koshi - Waiting for my main entree - Japanese Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

This wasn't as amazing as people are making it sound like, but it wasn't a terrible spot. Pros: Reasonably priced, fast service, fresh, cute spot (especially for dates). Cons: Cold, small, nothing too exciting about the food, not much dessert, metered parking (come after 6 they're usually free) Kani Salad was pretty skimp and barely had any kani, mostly lettuce with a bit of a spice to it. The jazz roll was good and the shrimp tempura looked banging ( my date ate that) Green tea mochi will always have a warm spot in my heart, and well guess what?! Koshi has it! read more

I would call Sushi Koshi the General Tso of sushi. Many of their special rolls are covered in some sort of sweet sauce and a tempura'd item is added within. The essence of simple raw fish is lost. That being said, it can be tasty and the fish is fresh, however it becomes overwhelming if I eat too much. Next time I would stick to the more traditional rolls/sashimi and order only one sweetened roll. What sets them apart is the mixed rice option. Instead of plain ol' white rice you can order your roll with white/brown/black rice. The texture is a tiny bit al dente and the taste is grainier which I actually liked. The menu also offers Korean food i.e. Bibimbap, bulgogi fried rice. The woman who runs the restaurant is very sweet and provides good customer service. The last time we were there the waiter forgot to denote mixed rice for two of our rolls. We brought this to his attention and the manager came over to tell us they were going to correct the mistake and we can keep what we had too, nice! As far as price, it is moderate. Overall a good local spot for sushi especially for those who like their sushi on the sweet and crunchy side. read more

They need help in being customer oriented. Absolute horrible service and this was for pickup. The dude started making the order when I inquired about it. Tells me 5 mins but order wasn't ready for another 40 mins. Super rude to speak with and from placing the order to pickup. 1 hour 20 mins. No apology and just awful to deal with. read more

As usual Yelp never lets me down! My gf and I were doing a double date and we all decided on sushi. We decided to check this place out and what a choice it turned out to be. This place is a small cozy sushi bar in Montclair and is BYOB! BYO is always a plus in my book :) When you walk in all the workers greet you with a loud HI! lol its funny but very welcoming. We ordered 4 rolls and share - Shrimp tempura, Philadelphia, crazy roll, Soho roll.... all of them were very well presented and deeeeeelicious.... we all felt like we could go for two more rolls to share so we ordered the Sushi Koshi roll and the Lobster Tail roll... as we waited for these last two rolls the waitress brought us some complimentary Korean Bulgogi for us to try and share which was very kind gesture and speaks volumes of how this place treats their customers. The meat was so juicy and tender... My eyes lit up when the last rolls came out... They just looked wonderful and boy did they tasted just as good. These rolls capped off a great meal. This is definitely a place all sushi lovers should check out. read more

Having read the glowing reviews about this hole in the wall sushi joint, I had high hopes. We booked a reservation for my inlaws who came in from South Carolina and looked forward to a great casual meal. One caveat, there are few cuisines I consider myself to be a purveyor or connoisseur of, but sushi is really one type of food I have a very discerning palette for (we have eaten Japanese and sushi all over the world, and are unafraid of trying everything including blowfish and other delicacies) While the atmosphere is virtually nonexistent, the restaurant appears to be either family owned and operated or run by a nice group of people who do try hard. We arrived and were seated in the back room close to the bathrooms. (not the greatest spot but the place is just lacking in design and layout) Our wine was opened quickly and they offered to refrigerate it in the back-so far so good. The specials didn't really appeal to us so we shared a seaweed salad, a green veggie roll, a few more elaborate sushi rolls, a tuna handroll and a few pieces of sashimi-I ordered uni sushi and a few pieces of hamachi and tuna. No toro that night...disappointing. We asked for extra ginger and low sodium soy. I specified ponzu in lieu of and they accommodated me. During the course of dinner, several gnats or fruit fly-esque bugs kept circling around us. Very unpleasant. As for the sushi, the combination black, brown and purple rice is visually appealing and quite tasty but the rest was down hill. We are not big eaters but the pieces of sashimi, while texturally good and yummy tasting, were quite thin and small. I have also never received such a tiny amount of ginger and an even tinier (pea size) amount of wasabi. We asked for more and they obliged. The rolls were small (which is not necessarily a bad thing) but there was almost no filling amidst all of that rice. The handroll was almost all rice with so little tuna and the maki rolls were so disproportionally filled with the "black" rice. The fish was fresh and tasted fine but overall this was one of the most disappointing sushi places I have been to in a while. Perhaps I should have gone to Aozura or Dai Kichi which are both reliably decent/good. The redeeming thing about this place is the service since they seem to care and aim to please. It is a shame the food just didn't cut it. read more

So disappointed after all the great reviews. The best part was the miso soup. Sweet potato undercooked and most of the fish didn't have much flavor. We were really hoping for some solid sushi and sashimi, so it was a big letdown. read more

Sushi Koshi is my go-to place for sashimi in Montclair. The sashimi is typically fresh - not the best I've ever had, but good for its price. Koshi also offers mixed rice in addition to white rice - a plus given the mixed rice's higher nutritional value and better taste. Their sushi rice (plain white rice) isn't so great as it's not properly seasoned and lacks that subtle, vinegar-y kick. I don't eat the rolls at Koshi - if I want rolls I go over to Kim's Sushi in W Orange. However, if I want straight up miso soup, fish and a bowl of rice, Koshi is my choice given its location and less waiting time. The staff is very friendly and pleasant. read more

Lots if deals and master rolls. Received free appetizers during dine in. Absolutely gave the black rice option every time. Ramen bowls also avail but may not be on menu but on chalkboard. This place is a gem. Every visit a win with fresh sushi and meals. Special during lunch & dinner. In idyllic Montclair. read more

This place is marvelous!!! Such fresh delicious food and so many wonderful choices. The waitstaff (Jun) is such a swell guy and they're so accommodating! I haven't been in awhile due to the current scene but I consider myself a regular and this is one of the best neighborhood places in all of Montclair. Oh and super cute inside!! read more

I must say the service is extremely nice and I liked the atmosphere...but I wasn't impressed with the sushi. They serve black rice, not brown. The rolls were tiny and came with more rice than actual fish for the same price as other places charge. I ordered a side of Yellow Tail and Eel - tasted fresh. read more

Service is awesome. Everyone is friendly and there to help you right away. Def a big family owned business. Rolls are unique and the black rice was a great change.

Lunch special was wonderful and my first time having purple rice it was lovely and delicious. Definitely a new place for us

It's been three times already in the past two months and we can't get enough of this place. My favorite so far is the Salmon Dragon Roll and the OMG roll. The sushi is fresh and super flavorful. The last time I ordered, I got the mixed rice with the sushi and it was spectacular! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for quality sushi around the area. read more

We have come here a few times and always have trouble. Last time we asked if the miso soup had fish flakes in it. Three servers could not answer the question. When asked, one server tried to double-talk an uniformed answer. Then a woman who seemed like a manager replied "tofu!, tofu!" Does that mean no fish flakes?? Don't know - they seemed to know less than I do. So, I guess if you have another allergy question, their patent response may also be "tofu, tofu!" We asked for no sauce on the rolls (because who would know what was in it?), but guess what, our order came with sauce on top. Later, on the way to a neighboring table, the pseudo-manager dropped a roll off a large sushi platter. She pretended not to notice and did not tell the customers that their order was shorted. To top it off, this woman stepped on the roll on her way out, again, pretending not to notice, while creating a hazard for exiting customers. In sum, this is not a safe place for many reasons. read more

Very cozy restaurant. Fresh sushi and great lunch specials. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Will go again.

I was so confused with all the reviews just now People either love or hate this place. If you ask me, purple rice, very cool I thought it was just Avery average small sushi place. I drive past this to my friends house. She hates sushi so I went alone I had the dumpling roll and miso soup. I don't eat very much but I don't think of any reason not to return. It looked clean to me The lady who took care of me was very friendly and it was quiet They have a BYOB But I just had green tea. People on yelp are so annoying sometimes I was there it definitely wasn't horrible, and look at their reviews, all these tellers do is come on and complain about small businesses. That's just not right. read more

We ordered from Sushi Koshi for the first time for our 17 year old's birthday dinner. We placed the order through Seamless. After waiting over 45 minutes, we checked the Seamless order tracking and it showed that the driver delivered it already however it was not. We called Seamless and Sushi Koshi to figure it out and ultimately we received a refund from Seamless and re-ordered from Sushi Koshi. Once we arrived at Sushi Koshi to pick our order up this time, the manager on duty ( I didn't get his name) was adamant that he wasn't going to charge us due to the Seamless error. The order was roughly $110 and I stated that it was the Seamless driver who basically disappeared and it wasn't the restaurant's fault. The manager still wanted to not charge me for the order but I was insistent for him to charge me. The manager reluctantly charged me however gave me a 50% discount. Not too many businesses run like this one these days, sometimes it seams as if businesses pride in taking care of the customer no longer matters. I felt the exact opposite leaving this restaurant. Not only we were treated like life long friends/customers, the sushi was delicious also. Sushi Koshi has customers for life now after our experience with them. read more
