Koji's

It was the best Japanese restaurant I’ve ever eaten at outside of Japan. The owner has his own farm, so vegetables and other ingredients are homemade and organic. The atmosphere of the place was wonderful, and the staff were all very friendly. I definitely want to go back again!

Our chef Emilio was FANTASTIC! We actually went fishing with him in the morning and brought our catch with us to the restaurant that evening for dinner. Emilio prepared such a variety of delicious preparations- it truly made our experience one of a kind! Every dish was AMAZING- especially the teriyaki fish. They had good wine and spirit selections to pair with our food. Spring rolls were also delicious. Great ambience. Would recommend!

I grew up in Malibu, California and have eaten sushi literally my entire life, and incredible sushi at that. I have also been to Japan. I have never in my whole life had Sushi this good, this fresh, this delicious. We came here for my birthday, and it was so good we needed to have it one more time before flying home. So we came here for our very last night, and I can’t wait to come back to Costa Rica to have this sushi again. The service is incredible, the staff is so sweet and kind. And the ambience is magical. We started with the red snapper carpaccio, which was to die for. Also, the tuna tartare. We had the Koji roll, the Hawaiian roll, the Hermosa roll, and the Tataki roll. My favorites were the Hermosa and the Hawaiian. My husband’s favorite was the Koji. But you literally cannot go wrong. We also brought my two-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loved it, the staff were so so kind to her. This restaurant is a must if you are visiting Santa Teresa. I cannot wait to eat here again!

The food is very good and the location beautiful. A nice bar at the end with good music for a nice dinner. However, the service was terrible. We waited over 15 minutes to order. The food and drinks came in quickly though.

When you ask anyone in town, "what's the best place to eat?", you will always be pointed here. On our visit, I over ate, which means the food was spectacular. The sushi was amazingly fresh, the rolls were creative, and the Que Mae beer on tap was made specifically for this spot. If you want a delicious meal and wonderful ambience, make sure to eat here while in Santa Teresa.

Friendly and kind staff, service is great. The spicy sesame tuna melts in your mouth, koji roll rocks, churros are insanely good. Hibiscus juice is so fresh and yummy too. Highly recommend! 😊

I never leave reviews but I had to after eating at this place with my girlfriend. We were very excited for sushi but that all quickly changed. The miso soup was incredibly fishy. It tasted like I was eating a fish straight from the water. The house salad was simply raw, uncooked, unstemmed vegetables soaked in soy sauce. It was insanely expensive and the quality did not add up. The sushi was also not good at all. Would not recommend.

The food was tasty, however it in no way justifies the hefty price that we paid for our dinner ($150 for the very same type of order we do everywhere else for sushi and don’t pay anywhere close to that and eat more). Sure, it was good. But that good? I wouldn’t say so. The service was great; several waiters came by our table and the “main” waiter for us was great! He was nice and up to joke with us, which is cool. The place is nice and spacey, although the road outside is narrow and can be tough to navigate if and when it gets filled with parked cars. Would go again, probably. Would think about it twice beforehand.
