Wow! Great lunch spot! I came here with a coworker and got the lunch bento box and it was really good! Came with a lot of variety and very tasty. The miso soup is also really solid here! Our server was incredibly nice and checked in on us often! It wasn't very crowded but definitely had people, also no wait for a quick lunch in Bellevue was perfect! Pricing is medium. About $25 + tax and tip pp for lunch (seems about standard for Bellevue these days). read more

THeKOi - Bento box with chicken, short ribs, and sashimi (instead of sushi). Really good! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Had a reservation for dinner on a Tuesday evening. Everyone was very friendly! We were seated promptly but that's where the timeliness ended. It took awhile for waters to be brought and drink orders to be taken. We should have ordered all of our food at once because it took another 30-45 min before we were able to order our main dishes. Someone tried to take our menus after we received our apps but even then no one came to take our order. We had to ask to order food and then still waited for someone to come by. We arrived at 6:15 and were not able to order our mains until 7:30. It was about a 3 hour meal by the end of it. The food was great! Lots of different tuna roll options which made it hard to decide. I got the Sumo Roll which was extremely spicy. This would have been fine except no one came to fill up our waters. I requested more water and received a half glass because the pitcher ran out. They said they'd be back with more and never returned. I want to love this place because I really enjoyed all of the food, but the service was absolutely abysmal (slow and no water refills). I'm hoping I just was there on an off night as other reviews mention great service. I probably will not return unless there are no other options. read more

Absolutely love this place. Everything was fresh. Volcano lobster roll was really good (also fun to film/photograph). Ramen was also delish. Service was efficient. Staff were friendly. The restaurant was nice and clean. Went there for lunch on a Saturday and they weren't busy at all. read more

THeKOi - Volcano Lobster - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Food is good, service is attentive. The bento box is very flavorful and plentiful. Edamame is fresh.

I've ordered from here in the past and used to enjoy the food here. I ordered for pickup and I got to the restaurant just one minute ahead of the pick up time. The restaurant continued to have me wait in the lobby for 40 minutes leaving half of our order out in the open to get warm. There was no communication on when our order would be done either despite checking in with the staff multiple times. When I got to eat the food, the cold food was warm and vice versa. When I called the restaurant back they did bare minimum to rectify the situation by offering to make us more food, which obviously no longer sounded appetizing. If you're reading this please save your money and go to Minamoto or Japonessa. read more

Amazing experience! Food is fantastic! The staff was professional and the service was punctual.

Food is top tier. Everything is quality, fresh and tastes supreme. Service is quick and friendly. Ambiance is serene.

New nice little hidden gem in Bellevue. Saw this place on Instagram and knew we had to check it out. It is off the busy streets of Bellevue so that's good. It is restaurant week so they have specials of amazing deals and bento boxes however we decided to just order apps and drinks. The lychee martini known as chef kiss on the menu is definitely chef kiss. So good. We started we spicy edamame and shishito pepper with a miso glaze. Fabulous. We then ordered the fire cracker shrimps, dumplings and tuna tacos. The shrimp and the dumplings were good but the star of the show was the tuna tacos. My friend and I were fighting over the last one. Didn't get to try any of the sushi the lunch and dinner deals will definitely have me going back. The only thing I would say is service is a bit slow. Our waiter was training someone and by 7 came the restaurant was busy and I think the servers were overwhelmed. Other than that can't wait to go back and try more of what THeKOi has to offer! Not pictured is the lychee martinie but very good. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon for an early dinner around 4 PM after shopping at Bellevue Square and there were tons of tables available! Service was excellent and very quick, with our waiter checking on us often and ensuring that we had water at all times. The sushi here is incredibly fresh and delicious and I liked the ratio of fish to rice - 1/3 rice and 2/3 fish. The ambiance is great - the room is very open and airy with lots of natural light. My friend and I chuckled because the music selection was from our college clubbing days where EDM was reaching its height so we enjoyed our meal while listening to Kaskade. If you're a millennial you would definitely enjoy dining here for sure! read more

Jimmy was a great waiter. Get the fresh wasabi The food and service were outstanding. Great location and beautiful restaurant inside

What a great location! I hate having to park in a garage to eat in Bellevue, so this restaurant being street facing is everything! Let's see how the food goes. *post meal* This place was okay. The staff are extremely friendly, and the restaurant was quiet. I can definitely see myself coming here for sushi after work. With that said, the restaurant didn't blow me away. I believe this restaurant is new (or under new management), so I will check back in a few months to see if they've settled on. read more

Amazing curry, great Katsu, and great ramen proportions! Flavor is great :) Forgot the fish cake in the ramen though and the menu had inconsistent pricing. Bought a 300ml sake bottle for the listed $28, only to check the online menu it be $58 instead. I didn't care about it in the moment, but afterwards, I could only feel I was bait and switched. I would love to go back and give it another try to update this review. I'd mostly recommend, just make sure you know what you're getting. read more

It's ok, maybe? First time dining here so a clear first impression was set after this evening. Let's start with the service: They were quite overwhelmed on a Saturday evening at the end of March. We wait ~15 minutes to be seated with a reservation. There were two other parties ahead of us that also had a reservation. The host was too busy packing food for a to-go order. So That kind of set the mood for the rest of the evening. I also found out towards the end of the meal that my glass of water had lipstick marks on one end of the glass. Food taste and quality: For the most part, the food tasted good. I found the bentos, gozen, etc., to be interesting with a good variety of food and with good portion size (not cheap, will touch on it later). It was odd, however, that they would serve Korean small dish appetizers in a decidedly Japanese restaurant. Maybe they ran out of the traditional Japanese ones and had to go get some from a grocery store? The other thing that irked me was the Chirashi. For a $39 chirashi, I would absolutely expect the fish to be cut in uniform sizes. For any medium or upscale restaurants, you can expect them to be cut like regular pieces of sashimi. What I got were some cubes, some pyramids, and skme rectangles. No circles though so that was good. It was an interesting lesson in geometry again, perhaps the toddler in me would enjoy building mini lego blocks out of fish. For a mini chirashi, I could understand using smaller pieces. For an entree chirashi, toy blocks need not appear. Overall experience, value, etc: Things feel kinda disconnected. They took nice pictures. They spent money decorating the place to look modern and chic. But also used plastic plates that you would see in teriyaki joints. The way the fish was cut felt kinda like eating poke in a nice ceramic bowl/dish. As of writing, for the most part, pricing entrees at $40 means you're dining at a decent restaurant. What I felt was paying for an expensive value meal so to larger than average portions, and missing the mark on quality/fanciness. Things might feel more coherent if it's located not in downtown Bellevue, but at a location where costs of running the restaurant were lower. I might've given them another star if they gave me some OG listerine to rinse off the other patron's lipstick. read more

mediocre food, underwhelming ambiance, excellent service except they didn't care about my complaint that the $5 tea tasted the same as a pot of hot water, just explained to me that they used to put a tea bag in the pot but not anymore. they need to go to kizuki and see what free tea tastes like. if they put a tea bag in the pot or didn't charge $5 for my water, i wouldn't be whining about it here. read more

The food at this restaurant is really good. The people who work there are also really nice. The problem is the speed of service. I would not recommend coming here on a lunch break from work because wow it takes so long to get your food. We weren't sure if it was the kitchen that was slow or the servers that were slow? We ordered a few hot items and they came to the table cold. I would eat here again for sure, but it's not somewhere I'm running to. I appreciate the restaurant's cleanliness. But the service speed needs improvement and I noticed I'm not the first to say this in the comments. It shouldn't take longer than 35-40 minutes to get your food after ordering. read more

Ambiance - 1/5. They barely had any AC on so it was warm inside. Not what you want to feel in the middle of summer while eating sushi. There was also carpet on the floor, which gave the place a gross feeling. Also, there is a bar but no one can sit at it. Service - 2/5 we only saw two wait staff and they were both working really hard. They had way too many tables for two of them. The service was extremely slow and we had to ask for everything. Food - 4/5 The sushi was really good. My only complaint would be that the rice wasn't packed very well and fell apart when you picked it up, but the sushi itself was great. I would say if you're wanting to get sushi takeout, give this place a try. I would not recommend dining in. read more

consistently excellent food and a warm welcome environment. so great to have this in our neighborhood

Great experience at TheKoi! Visited with my dad during a weekday dinner - we went around 7 pm and it was not busy at all. We both ordered some sort of set meals which came mostly with nigiri and sashimi - though I don't recall exactly what, they were both some form of the bentos. The quality of the fish was really good! I am particular about tuna, specifically, and cannot eat it if it's too 'fishy', but the tuna here was delicious. We also ordered adagashi tofu as our appetizer - it was perfectly crispy and delicious. Our server was very kind and attentive throughout our meal, refilling waters and clearing plates as soon as they were empty. The overall ambiance was great as well, with a very simple yet elevated interior. I saw some lunch specials on the menu that I am hoping to return to try! read more

Between 3 and 4 stars. It was great finding parking just infront of them. No super busy place when we arrived. Staff was very nice and helpful. We noticed that we ordered 3 things and they didn't have those items. No problem, we sswitched to something else and it worked :) Everything was very good. They have drinks on their menu and on their monthly specials. We ordered one with almost the same ingredients and they witched it...twice! Then we ordered mango ice-cream and told us there wasn't enough bit they could make it half and half. We accepted, but when arrived, it was only matcha which my party hates. We sent it back even when the lady rolled her eyes. I would say that they offer good food, but they don't have everything on the menu and it looks a little unorganized. All staff should know what they have. Quiet place overall with enough space. Looks nice but old. read more

We were looking forward to trying TheKoi. Unfortunately, we never got the chance to. After arriving on time for our reservation, and sitting at our table for 20 minutes we had to ask for a glass of water and when our server was coming. 30 minutes into sitting at the table is when our server came to take our order. After 50 minutes of sitting at the table, no drinks or food had arrived and we left. Our waitress was lovely and she was not at fault, they were severely understaffed. read more

Located north of the mall so you get to avoid all that traffic. Parking is easy to find. Greeted upon entry. Got seated right away. Staff was friendly. Food was delicious.

I used to love coming here where it was Flo Sushi. I came by to eat dinner and found out it has changed ownership and changed entirely! I have been to a THeKOi in Tacoma and wasn't impressed because it was basically Asian fusion that wasn't authentic Japanese... well, it's the same case here. I tried some of the sushi but the fish tasted... off. I started to wonder where the sushi came from. I am Japanese and I just wasn't impressed with the sushi here and would not want to come back :( read more

Attentive and friendly staff, the chef thanked us and waved to us as we were leaving. Food portions were generous given the price during Seattle restaurant week. Sashimi was high quality, beautifully cut and presentation was immaculate. Food arrived relatively quickly despite the time it must have taken to prepare/present it plus nearly every table had patrons seated. I would definitely come back again to try more items on the menu. read more

This place deserves respect. Walking up to the sushi bar and seeing an old Japanese man is legit, it reminded me of Tokyo. The decor is nice, great service. The sushi is delicious, the beer cold. Great nigiri and sashimi too. Not my favorite sushi spot in the world since I just got back from Tokyo but so far my favorite in Bellevue read more

THeKOi - This is volcano lobster roll. It's on fire and it's so delicious - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Food was so amazing. We ordered a variety of different things across the menu and of course the flaming lobster was a hit (and delicious). Great mocktails and we liked our server. The place was not packed and despite liking our server, service was truly awful. Just know that meals come out when they are ready so for our party of 14 we were all eating at different times. Waters were never refilled and we could barely get our check. Food more than made up for it and would go back but not if I was in a hurry. read more

I ordered (via delivery) the curry katsu and shishito peppers. More than half the chicken was inedible as it was rubbery and overcooked. The curry itself was decent but the chicken was awful. The shishito peppers were slightly undercooked but overall good. read more
