Our waitress was nice but every other server, the slightly older women, were EXTREMELY rude. Probably just cultural difference and it was a busy Sunday. No eye contact. Dropping food off to wrong people and walking away. Asked questions get no responses. It's ok! Our waitress was lovely! And that is what counts! I'm on a cut, so the no-rice sushi rolls and big salads were perfect. I really liked the poke salad! Great poke covered in fish eggs with a delicious ginger dressing on it. Giant fresh salad. Hard to get better than that on a cut! The salmon and tuna was melt in your mouth good when combined with the dressing. I would definitely go back if in the area!

The Crispy Rice with spicy tuna was definitely a favorite. The rice was perfectly crunchy, the spicy tuna was packed with flavor. Next was the Mad Man roll, which has filet mignon on top. The filet was tender, flavorful, and paired surprisingly well with the sushi. But the highlight for me was the Miso-glazed Chilean sea bass. The miso glaze added the perfect amount of sweetness and umami without overpowering the fish. Also, shoutout to our server! I feel bad because I forgot her name, but she was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. She checked in at all the right times and was just genuinely warm and welcoming.

I absolutely love this place and never did it disappoint. They are still consistent even today. The last time we are here was before we moved to Vegas in 2017. I really miss this place and could not find anything at Vegas that's casual and delicious like this place. We absolutely love the pink Cadillac and all their no rice rolls. Worth every penny. We can't get great sushi like this fresh and good in Vegas. I love the red eye as well. All light with seasoning on point. The nigiri are pretty pricey for 1 piece but it's fresh fatty tuna and blue fin. What do you expect. Especially since everything has gone up and cost of living is not the same anymore. I'll pay $6 for the nigiri. It's what we expected. Fatty tuna was on point! Service here is always amazing! Staff has been here for years. They even remember my hubby. Lol. Ambiance is casual. Can't wait to come back.

We ordered crispy rice for the appetizer and it was absolutely delicious except for the fact that the rice was a bit thick so it was harder to eat. Maybe if it was on the flatter side, it would have been more enjoyable. We got soft shell roll and also a variety of nigiri. The fish for the nigiri was fresh and the rice to fish ratio wasn't bad. The roll was alright. Nothing to rave about. Overall experience here was pleasant and I would come back again if I'm in the area.

i want to preface this and say I never leave reviews... this experience has been honestly the WORST…read moredining experience i have ever had in my entire life and i'm not even exaggerating. I took my girlfriend out to try their AYCE $40 sushi and we were so dissatisfied. the first thing you notice when walking in is the lack of staff there to seat you, they have one active waitress managing all the tables making the order times slower and leaving us unattended, 3 round limit on the orders which is alright i guess but other places nearby don't have that rule so I'd recommend any other one of those places alone. Next was the order. We got the appetizers, the premium products that were limited, and ordered our first round of fish. TELL ME WHY they fucked up our order 4 different ways. First they forgot our seaweed salad, then forgot our tuna, then gave us 2 instead of 4 bluefin tuna, and they ran out of one of their appetizers!! That was 4 mistakes in just the very first round... We decided to give benefit of the doubt and just enjoy the food, who wants to eat sushi in a bad mood?! The avacado appetizer was good and lifted our hopes but then we tried everything else and it was incredibly mid. The bluefin tuna wasn't that great, the rice was overportioned (as most ayce sushi places do which is fine wtv) but also just weirdly textured. the salmon wasn't hitting at all, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A SUSHI SPOT WHERE THEIR SALMON WAS GARBAGE. so that was a first. then round 2 comes and they FUCK UP AGAIN. they switched our 6 and 10 so they gave us 4 extra pieces of a fish we didn't order and shorted us on 4 pieces we wanted. They forgot another order of seaweed salad we placed, forgot our soybean appetizer, and there's something else that i can't remember rn but holy shit we felt so terrible having to talk to the waitress to correct our order but i can't even believe that's possible, we ORDERED ON A PIECE OF PAPER, u can literally verify what we placed it's not even like verbal communication. horrible. then the chef tried to make an excuse for himself and say he didn't wanna give us the order that we marked lightly in pencil (when we could scribble over it if it was an accident) but wtv i guess that's a reason... UNTIL I LOOK AT OUR OTHER NUMBERS CLEARLY WRITGRN IN BOLD PENCIL THAT HE STILL FORGOT. don't try to blame us for your incompetence. waitress was nice, again we felt really bad and i've never written a bad review anywhere even at places that might've deserved it but this place really did it for me. there are so many other good sushi spots nearby for better prices, better quality fish, and better service. i can't believe this is a $40 meal i just think about that every time i see good food in my area, like wow i could've had that instead. I will never forget my expierence here at koyi sushi and not in the good way. please if you value your sanity stay the hell away from this terrible establishment, they need to get their shit together

We discovered this place sometime last year but only ordered takeout, but decided to come for ayce one day and it changed our life. We've been to quite a few ayce sushi in OC/LA but I think this one is currently #1 on our tier list. The fish is super fresh, so even if you eat a lot it doesn't make you feel sick like some other places. The hand rolls are my favorite because i feel like the fish to rice ratio is perfect. Also the nigiri barely has any rice to it which is great! the rolls dont fill you up too much either. Basically in everything there is minimal rice which keeps the sushi tasting more light so you can eat more which I really appreciate You are allowed to order 3 rounds, I suggest to order a lot the first round so that you don't over order on the second and third Service is always really great, we have been here twice on Saturday and once on Friday for the lunch deal. On Saturday during lunch its not too busy so I think the service is better since they dont have too many tables to attend to, but all the waiters are super nice and helpful!
