SUSHI KOI

Sushi Koi has always been my favorite little gem. I have enjoyed many great memories here, and amazing rolls and food. I have eaten Sushi everywhere and I know my fish well and Sushi Koi hits harder above its tier. The atmosphere is quiet and intimate , great for date nights or bringing friends. The best part of this was how fresh the fish was, how big the portions were and how accessible the price were. This year, there has been a huge inflation. The rolls went up $2-3 and some of the food experienced heavy increases. The salmon tataki went up from $21 to $30 and the salmon don went from $21 to $27. My heart is broken and I am disappointed. I understand they need to keep up with inflation, but I didn't expect SUCH a price hike. I can't eat here as often anymore. This place is now competing against Omakase places like Sado and Indo. I can't give them less than 5 stars for food or service because the FOOD is good and the service is amazing, but this has really went from a diamond to just another bougie Japanese restaurant like many others that I can just eat in Chicago, Boston or New York. Really lost a lot of its charm. I'm sad but I will still recommend people to eat.

The sushi was delicious and the service was excellent. Highly recommended. The best sushi place in St. Louis.

Best sushi, service and plating in the city! Always great luck to get a table, always worth the wait too. Food comes out quickly and the staff is really kind!

OMG! Delicious. Fresh taste. Made on the spot. Friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommend the seaweed salad, crazy roll and signature roll! Prepare to wait a bit. I was seated quickly at the counter. Before I ordered, the waitress advised me there was a wait for the fresh made sushi rolls. Totally worth the 10-15 minute wait. I had a seaweed salad and sipped prosecco in the meantime. Will come back asap!

The gyoza and soft shell crab were very good! We also really enjoyed the sushi. We got the central west end, Euclid and triple s.

Best sushi I have had in St. Louis. The restaurant offers very high quality fish and a wide ranging menu with lots of difference delicious choices. This time, I ordered the tempura appetizer, Central West End, Caterpillar, and Sashimi Roll. Service was prompt and the waitress was warm and welcoming. The sushi had a great balance of sauces, filling, and rice, and the rolls are massive. Highly recommend:))

PROs: Friendly and attentive staff. Quick to be seated. No wait time before dinner rush. So many great choices on the menu. The food was amazing! My husband wants to move here just for the Alaskan Roll (the best we've had so far). No added fee to use credit card. CONs: Street parking only. Small establishment with no waiting area (which means people will be standing directly behind you while you're eating). Approx $55 (before tip) we ordered Chicken Teriyaki, Alaskan Roll & Rainbow Roll. This is a place we will return to when we stroll through again.

Great food, very ambient setting, and great service. Highly recommend the seared salmon toro, it is melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The sashimi tastes fresh and the portion sizes are very worth the price. Will definitely be back again!

I've been across the nation attending sushi restaurants looking for that special place. I can honestly say that this location is THE BEST sushi at reasonable costs in town. So many unique dishes and everything was SO fresh! The nigiri / sushi pieces were HUGE and a great bag for the buck! And while the establishment is a bit small, it still homey and intimate; better for small groups, but can manage a couple of larger group tables. We will be back!

I finally got the chance to try Sushi Koi after a friend recommended it, and it did not disappoint! Just a heads up, since it's in the Central West End, parking can be tricky, so plan ahead. The sushi we ordered: Hamachi Garlic Ponzu Roll - hands down my favorite Dragon Roll - my second favorite Fujiyama Roll - third favorite Central West End Roll - still delicious The flavors were on point and everything tasted so fresh. The service was super sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Also, the takoyaki was pretty good! Overall, Sushi Koi is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and craving quality sushi!

Overall, a good experience at Sushi Koi. We tried a LOT of things and most did not disappoint. You order by filling out a little sheet, and then then the waitress takes it and brings everything out pretty swiftly. Here's what we tried: -Edamame: 7.5/10 - Standard, mostly what you'd expect, except for a few of them were clearly under-steamed. -Seaweed Salad: 9/10 - A pretty perfect seaweed salad (wakame). Can't complain. Fresh and tasty. -Takoyaki: 8.5/10 - Honestly some of the best takoyaki I've had. Come's completely sauced up, and has a crispy outside but very gooey interior. The octopus is chewy, of course, but you have to expect that. -Chicken Teriyaki: 6/10 - The flavor of the sauce was good but the chicken was dry on the outside, almost like it had been pre-cooked and sitting out? -Wagyu Nigiri: 9.5/10 - UGH I just ADORE wagyu. This was such a rich bite. I think it could have used a bit more zing or flavor to accompany the rich meat and rice, but I can barely knock it. -Sunset Roll: 7/10 - Meh. It was okay. I didn't love the eel in here and I thought the flavor profile was pretty mid. -Crazy Roll: 9/10 - MMM yumm!! This was a perfect roll to order. The salmon was oh so fresh and tasty.

The service was amazing. Very attentive and made sure to pay attention my bosses severe MSG allergy and gluten allergy. Knowledgeable about what products she carries. Food was fresh and tasted amazing. And it's a unique little shop but very homey and inviting. We will definitely be back

Takeaway: The sushi was exploding with fish. I'd say this is probably the best spot in town for sushi. Pros: the value of what you pay for what you get is extremely good. The rolls I got were creative with the ingredients (like those roasted garlic pieces in the hamachi garlic ponzu roll) and as I said prior they do not skimp you on the amount of fish you get with each roll. Cons: management please take notice of this review. The music is comically bad. It has the production value of my 2007 GarageBand beats. Please consider playing something else in your restaurant or playing the music a lot softer. I don't think it does your food much service to have such bizarre stock music, that lacks character or sense of place.

Got the hamachi ponzu roll and the tuna avocado roll and got terrible food poisoning.

Wow! What a find! Sushi Koi is absolutely delicious! I kinda pigged myself out by ordering two rolls, (Shrimp Tempura & Crunch Roll) edamame and gyoza! Everything was excellent tasting, the atmosphere was really nice and the young server was really attentive and friendly! I never had an empty cup of water! I was in the area on business, but when I return (if I don't go back before I go home) I will definitely be back!

The BEST sushi I've ever had. You don't need any super fancy rolls here to tell that the fish is fresh (although their fancy rolls are delicious). I did not expect to have this fresh of fish when I first moved to STL but will continue to come to Sushi Koi for their top tier sushi. The ambiance of the restaurant is great too because it's a chill, laid back atmosphere in a pretty small space (not the best for big parties but that's okay)

Went for a dinner and it was really good! Our server was super nice and accommodating. Place was nice and cozy. Not super big but a good amount of seats available. The sushi and other plates we got were good as well. We got seated right away. Street parking out front.

tried sushi Koi for the first time this week and it was amazing! I was very pleasantly surprised to have found such a great sushi spot. I ordered take out so I'm excited to dine-in next time for the full experience. The rolls I tried were the Redbird and the rainbow roll, and I really enjoyed both. The rolls were huge so that's another plus! I would definitely recommend Sushi Koi!

Food 4/5 Sushi rolls are pretty good for St Louis. We love the dragon roll the best. We also enjoyed the green tea we ordered. Service 4/5 We enjoyed the service. Our water refilling was frequent. When we have 4 pieces of sushi left, the server has been checking on us more often -- trying to hint they need the table back for other customers. Okay! Ambience 4/5 Central location at Central West End. It's nice and cozy within the restaurant. We love the booth seating.

Thought there was happy hour because I saw it on Google review but they do not Love the decor on the walls and service was good!.l got the spicy salmon hand roll, sunset and hamachi garlic ponzu roll. Everything was so delicious and love the presentation of the plate as well! Can't wait to come back and try other rolls here!

Ended up eating here for the first time during the Red Lantern Night Market the other evening. For the price and quality of the sushi, I'd say the classic rolls are a great deal! It was nice sitting outdoors on their patio as the inside would have been crowded and loud. Servers were kind, checked in on us during the rush, and managed the busy evening splendidly.

Tonight, we decided on sushi in St Louis. The high reviews steered us to Sushi Koi. So glad they did! This restaurant is small, with some indoor and outdoor seating, or you can sit at the sushi bar. We were immediately greeted by a friendly hostess/server. She offered us seats at the bar until a table opened. We elected to sit at the bar for the meal. The sushi chef was so friendly. She talked to us throughout the meal, wish one of our group a happy birthday when she overheard the conversation. The server was so nice at explaining favorites, the menu, etc. We went with several meals (check out my photos). We all loved our dishes!! First off, they are very generous on sizes and don't overstuff the sushi with rice. 2 rolls can easily fill you up! The only dish I didn't care for was the garlic roll. Check the menu or photo out for the name (I forgot lol!). I can tell how many would like it, just not my thing. For drinks, we tried the apple and peaches Saki! WOW were they smooth and delicious. Overall, the food is amazing here, only outdone but the staff's friendliness and amazing service. If you want sushi near St Louis... you have to check out this place!!!

First time ordering to go at Sushi Koi and was very impressed with the quality of fish, the amount of food and excellently presented platter. The staff was very friendly and the wait was reasonable for the amount of food we ordered. It's good that they open early at 4:00pm to beat the dinner rush. Itedakmasu.

Everything was great. Food service ambiance. Went there twice in a few weeks and both times consistently delicious and the best sushi I've had in St. Louis. I took friends from Florida and one of them called and said he was still thinking about it a few days later.

Honestly the best sushi in STL. Been here a billion times AND THEY NEVER DISSAPOINT. Foods always amazing and the customer service is always top tier.

It's becoming one of my favorite dining places. I try different things every time and my date usually gets the same thing. The service is always great and the staff is friendly and upbeat. We weren't bothered there close to closing time and they kept ensuring us they didn't mind and that we didn't need to rush. That's uncommon and i appreciate that. I like their sakè list as well.

Delicious and beautiful sushi from Sushi Koi! I ended up getting takeout so I can't speak to the ambiance much but the service was fast and very nice for my pickup. I ended up having to go to Whole Foods for a few things right before picking up and I just walked a block from that parking lot to quickly grab the food but parking right by the restaurant didn't look too bad.

BEST SUSHI IN TOWN ( that won't break your bank)!! Sushi Koi has been my go-to for years. Sashimi always fresh and buttery. Every roles are delicious. The shop is a bit small and can be challenging for groups but staff are very accommodating and friendly. My recommendation: Uni, salmon, and toro are bussin, rainbow roll, and fujiyama roll!!

First time trying Sushi Koi and I love everything about this place. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and very helpful on what to recommend for their clients. My favorite roll is the central west end roll. And the udon soup is also delicious. I highly recommend it!

Delicious fresh sushi with a huge menu of rolls. The Dynamite Roll was the spiciest sushi I've ever eaten and I mean that as an accomplishment/compliment. I wish we lived in St. Louis so we could eat here every week!

I give this restaurant 5 stars with a catch! TELL THEM NOT TO PUT ALL THE Mayonnaise based cream sauce on top! Order the sushi dry....they ruin the flavor of the sushi by putting way too much of that crap on top! Now for the good! The portions are huge the sushi quality is amazing and the sashami is even better! Many choices of saki to choose from and the service is very good! Highly recommended only if u order without all that horrible mayo based gew they drench the rolls with!

This was the only Asian restaurant we went into on Euclid that was actually crowded when we got there, which probably could have told us that this was going to be our favorite spot. Service was quick and very friendly. We had gyoza, and two different rolls. Although the caterpillar roll was delirious, the Fujiyama roll was my very favorite one, and beautifully presented. I wouldn't suggest it as a business meeting spot or a romantic spot, mainly because the crowded space made it relatively noisy, but for anything else, the food was wonderful. The only caution I would add is that if you place an online order, you get charged $1.50 which is not disclosed before you place your order, and then it turned out that they didn't even start my order until after I arrived. So next time I would definitely skip the online ordering form.

My friends and I used to go to Sushi KOI frequently because the restaurant was just a short walk from our university, but I haven't been back for years. Last night my partner and I went to KOI for dinner without expectation, but we had a pleasant time here. They have a small space with booth seatings. Music was nice and not too loud. Service was top notch. My waiter was very nice and attentive. She kept checking on us and refilled our water. Our order came out relatively quickly. We ordered salmon tataki, chirashi, hamachi Kama, hamachi garlic ponzu roll and sunset roll to share between 2 of us, and my son got his own salmon teriyaki dinner set which included miso soup and salad. We were satisfied with our order - fresh fish, very nice sushi roll presentation, generous portion and tasted yummy. Our favorite from last night was the salmon tataki and hamachi Kama.

Best sushi spot in CWE and the whole city for that matter. Had a great experience on Saturday night at the bar

Sushi was delicious! I had the central west end roll and loved it! And it was filling which is rare with sushi. The tuna tartare was good as well. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean and there wasn't too much noise.

This is a cute sushi date night spot! It's a little small but you have a lot of table room. The staff are very attentive and the food is delicious. The fish is fresh and they have cool specials like Uni! The prices are reasonable and I will be coming back!

The food was tremendous. I definitely recommend the salmon! I got this order carry-out and was all packaged very well, plenty of utinsels and all the necessary items.

A fantastic spot for Japanese food. The sashimi was fresh and sliced beautifully, and the sushi had just the right balance of rice and filling. The kimbap had a great combination of textures, making the whole meal feel complete. The service was friendly and fast, and the restaurant had a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend it.

food and service were great. I loved how fresh the salmon nigiri tasted. The spicy tuna too

They close the kitchen before advertised hours. I have no problem with wanting to go home...it's your business. But post the correct hours so folks don't drive to your establishment first nothing.

Sushi KOI is my favorite dine-in sushi in St. Louis. The space is small and intimate--perfect for a friend date or romantic date--so don't be surprised if you have to cozy up at the counter. You order all your sushi at once on a checklist and they bring it all out on a beautiful, humongous platter. Be forewarned, the portions are huge (especially for the price!)--the sashimi pieces are 2-3x bigger than what you typically get. The roll options are plentiful, diverse, and delicious and the appetizers are also great - we recently tried the tuna tartare and loved it!

Hands down freshest fish in STL. Never disappoints! All of the rolls are delicious but my favorites are the central west end roll and the Euclid roll. I'm obsessed with the tuna tartare and when you order it for take out, the presentation is beautiful. The restaurant itself is small and intimate. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I either eat here or do take out once a week!

Chef Whitney prepares the finest sushi in Saint Louis. The quality and cuts are superb and generous.

Sushi Koi helped make a very special, and important night (for my girlfriend and I) That much better !! The service here is Excellent - Servers are so helpful, accommodating, polite, and professional. The establishment itself is super inviting. The interior gives chic, and stylish YET helps provide for a cozy, warm, and welcoming environment. We are currently STILL munching on leftovers and it's been 24 hours. The food is fresh, of high quality, and fine cut - the Presentation here is OUT OF THIS WORLD !! Ps they were kind and accommodating enough to help me surprise my girlfriend with a flower (provided by me) and a card (also provided by me) set and waiting for us at our table by the time we arrived for our reservation. Meaning.. Sushi Koi is evidently Dedicated to providing their customers with an Excellent experience overall, and the Best, most Fresh damn Sushi around. Pps Trans/Queer couple here - Sushi Koi made us feel nothing but safe, welcomed, respected, taken care of, and effing full. lol To Not visit would be a disservice to oneself. Xx

My favorite sushi spot in town! They're back with full service, real plates, and glasses. Grab your loved ones and get some sushi.

I recently had Sushi Koi delivered for the first time and let me tell you, it was amazing. I am picky about my sushi and hardly branch out so deciding to order feom somewhere new (to me) was a big deal. I'm being completely honest when I tell you that I think I found my new favorite sushi restaurant. I ordered the sashimi roll, euclid roll, spicy tuna roll, along with a cucumber roll for my 9 month old. This was, by far, the freshest tasting sushi I've had in Saint Louis! The online menu had beautiful pictures and informative descriptions, ordering was simple, and my food arrived fresh and on time. Next time I hope to dine in so that I can update my review in terms of ambiance and service!

My boyfriend and I went to Sushi Koi to celebrate my birthday, and it was a wonderful experience! When you first walk in the ambiance is small, yet cozy. The service was amazing and we were seated right away. We ordered the Soft Shell Crab as an appetizer which was fried to perfection, although it could have used a touch more salt. We really enjoyed to addition of vegetables to the dish and found the dipping sauce to be a great addition. For our entrees, we ordered the Alaskan Roll and Sunset Roll. Right off the bat the presentation was gorgeous! We were really impressed by the quality of the sushi and the ratio of fish to rice was definitely worth the price. We were very happy with our choices and we plan on coming back again to try a couple other speciality rolls!

Good quick spot for some sushi. You can also sit at the sushi bar and watch them hack away. Fun!

Although the sushi here and the ambiance looks beautiful, I unfortunately feel like Sushi Koi did not live up to the hype I have heard about it. My group and I were seated pretty quickly when we arrived, however we waited an hour and ten minutes for our food to get to our table. Additionally, we were only checked in on once during this waiting period. There seemed to be two waiters at this location that were helping each table and while they were polite, one of my friends was almost charged for an extra roll they did not order and my other friend was never given some of the side orders she asked for. The sushi itself was good, however for their service, the long wait, and for the quality of their sushi I would definitely eat at the other amazing sushi restaurants in the area! Additionally I would not come here unless you are ok with waiting a bit to get your food.

Placed a to go order. It took over an hour to get my food. I arrived around 20 minutes after placing my order and was told it would be 15 minutes, granted they were moderately busy so I get it. 40 minutes after I arrived I finally received my 4 soups and four rolls, all in the same bag. Food was delicious, just be prepared to wait a while for your food if you order to go.

The sushi was on point. Great, friendly and fast service. We went right at opening and ordered 5 rolls along with some spring rolls. Delish!

We didn't make reservations and they had a couple seats left at the sushi bar so we quickly snagged them. Once we sat down, we noticed every today was reserved and tons of pickup ordered were coming in. This place gets so busy! Their ordering system is all through their mobile website so you look at the menu and order from the mobile app. They had such a great menu for sushi. I had the salmon teriyaki but can't wait to come back here to try sushi. They also have a great boba tea menu here too! I tried the Thai Milk tea and really liked the taste.

Holy Cow! I've eaten sushi at some of the finest places in New York, Beverly hills and San Francisco. None have been as beautifully prepared or as savory. Chef Whitney is a master at her trade. I especially loved the Central West End. It was wonderful.

Phenomenal sushi, great service, and fantastic vibes. A must-visit in the central west end.

After reading so many reviews that sushi koi might be the best sushi in st. Louis, I was excited to check it out. We went on a Friday evening, was seated right away, but was told the food is 45-1hr wait. We placed and paid for our order online and began the wait. The food did take an entire hour, and I have to say it was not worth the wait. I was very disappointed that the Amaebi ( sweet shrimp) was not fresh. At $7 a piece, it did not have the sweetness and buttery texture fresh Amaebi has. They also forgot one of our rolls, because we ordered so much, we only found out half way through. We asked to take it off the bill, but the waiter seems reluctant and told us it will come out right away. It took another 15min and we already finished eating by then. Other rolls and nigiris are good ( we did really enjoy the scallop nigiris and scallop roll), but not much better than other places. For the marginally better quality sushi ( except for the Amaebi), it's not worth it for the long wait and lack of service.

I cannot speak to the ambiance as I ordered for delivery. The scallop hand roll was delicious and creamy. I was a little confused by the cucumber roll as it was not what it looked like online but it was still tasty. Service was quick.

We've gotten sushi here before but to takeout. We dined in after a movie at the Chase. It's a small, casual sushi restaurant with limited seating. Sushi is delicious, some of the best I've had in St. Louis. The Fried Tofu was fried perfectly, l Ioved it. My boyfriend enjoyed his Salmon Teriyaki. Excellent service. There was one server and she was doing great! I highly recommend Sushi KOI.
