Koi Sushi & Hibachi

We eat here all the time. It is always clean, quiet and friendly service. I lived in Japan for 10 years. So, I have had my fair share of sushi. This is a fantastic restaurant. The quality is fantastic, and the price is very reasonable. We can grab an obento here--at better quality and more generous--than at Kroger. I shouldn't say that. I don't really want them to raise their prices...but this is by far the best place to get sushi. We don't go anywhere else anymore. Trust me.

I had a great experience during lunch at Koi on 12/4/23. At the same time, I was able to catch up with Koi's owner/operator, Chau L. Chau was the original owner of Misako when it was at Loehmann's Plaza. Misako was initially a traditional Japanese restaurant before ayce sushi became all the rage. Chau & his wife, Carol, provided excellent food and service at Misako before they sold that business and moved on to other ventures. Koi is Chau's latest venture. Upon entering, it has the look and feel of the original Misako. And if you dined at Chau's former Koi restaurant in Virginia Beach (which is now Sakatomo, on Ferrell Pkwy), you will notice the recessed seating, known as horigotatsu, has been incorporated here at his restaurant in Suffolk. I sat at the bar (kauntaseki), since I was alone. But I also wanted to catch up with Chau. I started with some shumai. It was delicious and didn't impact my appetite (but definitely had me ready for more food). I followed that up with a ginger salad and miso soup. These items came with the sushi combo that I ordered. The sushi combo (in which you can choose 2 rolls from an specific list) was comprised of the balm roll and spicy salmon roll. Both items were fantastic - the fish was fresh and tasty while they did well to appease my appetite. I usually get 3 rolls when I dine at one of Chau's spots, so I had the Sumo roll (spicy white tuna, crunch & spicy mayo inside; spicy tuna & salmon on top). The Sumo roll is amazing - I love white tuna, and the roll's spiciness was at a perfect level (I can't do VERY spicy). The entire meal was delicious and I seriously wanted to order more. From my perspective, Koi is one of Hampton Roads' top shelf sushi spots. This venue is gorgeous and clean, while the food and service are excellent. I will make more of an effort to see Chau here since Koi is so good and he goes out of his way to satisfy his customers. Thank you so much for a perfect dining experience! JV

Stopped here randomly because some of the kids were craving sushi. The yakisoba was good, poke bowl as well. The kids bento box had a perfect little variety as well (yakisoba, gyoza, tempura chicken, and an orange). We got the sushi bridge and it came with a good amount. I wish there was more of the specialty rolls instead of the single pieces but overall was still good and the quality of the sushi was great. I think the presentation of the bridge could have been better. Service was good, no issues and very kind waitress. They also had Japanese style tables which were cute for the aesthetics.

Best sushi in Hampton Roads, hands down. Never had a bad meal there. Servers are super friendly and service is great. Not too pricey, either.

Koi is one of my favorite sushi spots! Mainly because of the bench style seating reminds me of Japan. The food is always good, and i've never had a bad experience! Whether its take out or dining in, Koi always delivers a great experience.

Just a simple sushi and hibachi restaurant with great food, attentive wait staff, quaint interior. If you enjoy really good sushi and sashimi look no further.

This restaurant is so cute I love the tables! First off the service is AMAZING! I went with my cousin who used to frequently eat here however had not been in a year, and they still remembered him! Because they are so nice they actually take the time to talk to their customers And the food... SO FRESH! The rolls were amazing shrimp tempura with eel and blue crab with avocado. And an ice cold Sapporo! The edamame was perfect also not too salty! If your in the area you won't regret stopping in for a meal!

The staff was very helpful helping me explore the menu. I'm not very experienced with high quality sushi, I'm from South Texas, but best spicy hand roll menu I've experienced so far. I overly enjoyed them. I order hand rolls often anywhere I go for sushi. I feel like this place is a great example of what traditional style sushi should look like. They have americanized sushi as well which I ordered to go as well, and it was great. Very traditional vibe when it comes to the Japanese esthetics .

Good sushi and other dishes. When very busy service can be slow, but food makes it worth the wait

The sushi was very fresh and tasty. The service was not bad I was given ideas on what to get and what not to get.The ambience felt left me feeling relaxed.
