[review based on delivery via door dash] Ordered the Godzilla Roll, Monster Roll, and Bird Nest Roll. Honestly was surprised by how much food we got for the price ($33 + tip/tax& other fees). Each roll is $14-$15 alone so it was a steal. Although the quality wasn't as great as other high end sushi places, it was still tasty. The rice to other ingredients ratio was a little too much in my opinion but they didn't really skimp out on the seafood either. My favorite of the three was definitely the Monster Roll. Overall, Koi definitely fulfilled my sushi cravings but not something I would order all the time since it's pretty heavy. Note - I've eaten in restaurant for AYCE several times and always had a good experience. And the delivery was no exception! read more

Koi Sushi - Pick Any 3 Signature Rolls Platter: Godzilla Roll Bird Nest Roll Monster Roll - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I definitely recommend trying this place if you want AYCE. The rolls are huge and very filling. I preferred the basic rolls over the signature ones. The Koi roll I ordered was subpar. But the appetizers were delicious! The nigiri comes with more rice than I'm use to. The fish was fresh and nothing tasted outdated. They also give thick cuts with the nigiri. They bring out the appetizers before the actual sushi- in vegas they don't do this so if you're going to order, do the actual sushi first then the appetizers. The actual service was great they checked on our table a couple times made sure we had refills and brought out everything we asked for. read more

Came here for all you can eat sushi, and was not disappointed. Filled to the brim with excellent sushi! ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 8/10 Nice modern look that was well lit and overall made for a pleasant dining experience. SERVICE: 8/10 Pretty good service. FOOD: 8/10 Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab - 5/10 - Disappointing. This was way too much breading and not enough crab. It was really oily and not great. I'd skip this one. Various Types of Sushi - 9/10 - I had a huge variety of items from the menu so will rate overall as a group. The sushi quality is great from the most basic spicy salmon rolls to the shrimp tempura and mango rolls. The sushi was delicious and came out with great fanfare on a giant boat. Just the way I like it. VALUE: 9/10 I thought the price for AYCE combined with the selection was excellent. PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 8/10 TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Eat! For you all you can eat sushi lovers, this is a great spot. OVERALL: 8/10 read more

All you can eat for a great price. Had 11 different orders of sushi (between sashimi nigiri and regular/ signature rolls). Did not get drinks but had some killer deals on booze as well.

Highly recommend you go hungry. read more

This was the best ayce lunch experience I've ever had, so much so that I was ready to tell everyone and bring every out of town guest. The presentation was above and beyond. However when I did bring an out of town guest for my second visit at dinner, it went downhill quick. 1st the presentation was no longer there with the cute bird and everything, just regular plating. Which is fine if the 2nd thing didn't happen. Which was the constant supervising by a waitress. It started off with her asking us (group of 3 girls) if we were really gonna eat all that. Which is always a little offensive but we let it pass thinking it was just her way of warning us like most ayce places do. But then just because 1 of us decided not to get ayce and tried one bite from an appetizer, the manager stationed her to stand right across our table and watch us eat. This made the rest of our meal very uncomfortable and killed the mood fast. We all just ended up eating and feeling like little kids in trouble. I understand rules, and that you shouldn't share ayce dinners and you will be charged leftovers. Monitoring just because the person not having ayce had a bite from our appetizer was beyond unacceptable behavior by the manager, and although the waitress apologized and tried to explain she didn't have a choice, it wasn't okay. Also unpopular opinion but if 1 person doesn't want ayce and someone else at the table wants to let them have their last 2 bites, it shouldn't be a problem. Some places like this take it way too seriously (it's another thing if as an ayce customer i start ordering whole plates for a non-ayce customer). If you're going to offer ayce and then feel the need to be monitoring your customers, then don't have it. Also other tables around us (mostly yt people) weren't being bothered so I'm not sure if race played a factor too. Sorry for the long paragraph, i get business is tough but i could debate about this for hours. Overall maybe go for lunch by yourself but avoid dinner time and definitely don't bring a party you need to impress. It's not worth the extra cash or embarrassment. read more

Did the all you can eat lunch option and loved it! The price can't be beat for the quality and variety. Our second order took longer than expected for some reason but the waitress was extremely apologetic and even gave us a free glass of sake to compensate, which was an extremely nice and thoughtful gesture. The restaurant is large and can fit many parties. It was clean and comfortable. Will be back soon! read more

I came here for the all-you-can-eat lunch because of the good reviews and food photos on here, and I was happy that what people said are mostly true! Every food that I ordered was fresh and nicely made. Very flavorful and no excessive rice. Also I really liked the amazing presentation of all the food. The dry ice decor on the sushi plate was cool! Overall it's a good value for the price ($21.99 + tax). Some things that I wish they could improve were that the AYCE lunch menu could be more honest. The menu looked like a huge variety of food to select from, but not everything on there could be ordered on the yellow order list (which had less variety). It's a bit disappointing when you found something you like on the menu and it wasn't actually allowed to be ordered. Secondly, after I paid they asked for tips. I've put some tips (cash) on the table but I don't think it makes guests feel good when they're being asked for tips. Paying tips should be voluntary. read more

my fav ayce sushi spot in chicago so far! this spot satisfied the cravings me and my friends had soooo good! we loved the fact that they had the option for sashimi in ayce ofc you still need to order maki rolls with it, but the roll pieces are so small. which is so good bc we got to try more options and its honestly the smallest size we've ever seen at an ayce place for specialty rolls. the nigiri was v good and fresh tasting, the rice to fish ratio was nice considering it go be ayce. we enjoyed the ones we got v much. i especially liked the salmon roe, salmon, scallop, and hamachi we loved the spicy tuna jalapeno poppers, they were v unique! the oysters were good, but on the burnt end. the hamachi kama and soft shell crab was cooked v well and juicy! would get the sangrias again! we celebrated my boyfriend's birthday and they made the dessert look so cute! read more

Place: This place can be a drive but very worth! It is an all you eat sushi and I was pretty satisfied with the service and food. I believe there is a reservation and very spacious. Service: I went with my cousins and I was nervous about the wait. However they sat us real quick! They explained where you check off what you want... They had so many options and they don't judge you with how many rounds you do.. as long as you FINISH. Food $$: My personal experience was amazing for trying this place out for the first time. My brother and cousin seemed to love it because they have such a big appetite haha. We chose salads, appetizers, and lot of nigris and combo rolls. They even have desserts that is worth trying out.

Koi is hands down the best all you can eat sushi restaurant in Chicago. For drinks the lychee martini is a must for appetizers. The koni salad is my go to but ive tried many have not been disappointed. My favorite roll is the MVP roll and then I typically order a bunch of nigiri. If you are going on the weekend know that there will be a wait to be seated because they are always packed. They have made a another room since Ive started going so the wait is now shorter. Every meal comes out with a little dry ice vase which is a nice touch. Be sure to tell them you're celebrating a birthday and you will be in for a treat! read more

AYCE hidden gem alert!! The basics: - Great quality and great prices as well. - Dinner AYCE is around $28 per person. - Tons of happy hour deals on weekdays - They offer sashimi, which most of the AYCE places don't do. My friend and I started off with some Takoyaki, seaweed and sashimi salad, and followed up with a great variety of rolls. Everything came out super fast and tasting good Also, kudos to their decoration too! They also offer desserts and many weekly deals. Cool place to check up if you are around. read more

I had been hearing about Koi Sushi and the AYCE menu forever! Finally got a chance to try it for lunch. There's a $10 price difference between lunch and dinner and you don't get all the options for lunch as the dinner menu. Certain rolls you'll find are not available and appetizers/dessert. All the rolls we had were tasty! However, it's a strong shrimp tempura presence. I love me some shrimp tempura rolls, but a little more variety would be great. The nigiri is a great deal. Lots of selections and no limit. The staff were all super friendly and attentive. Overall, a really good spot for a good price when you're feeling really hungry! read more

I love sushi. This place is not good. The sushi was mushy. I was afraid that I would get food poisoning so I stopped eating. The spicy scallop hand roll was so bad that I couldn't eat it. The scallops were not fresh, soft scallops. I always judge a place on their scallops. I will not be back. Stick to the cooked foods if you do want to go to this place. Or better yet, find someplace else. read more

Im from out of town and was craving sushi and Koi Sushi was recommended by locals. I came in hungry and left filled, no complaints! Not going to lie, this place feels like is made for people who love their rolls over the nigiris. Many great selections (colorful, vibrant, interesting) with the rolls while the nigiris are pretty standard. Theres no special nigiris like the ones you get at other joints but with lunch being under $25, you cant beat that. Service was great, they make sure you are accommodated and taken care of read more

$28.99 AYCE when I visited. Their ordering rules is a little confusing to me and I had to read it over a couple times to get it, but the staff is there to help. Staff was attentive, for an. AYCE place, they're always running around so I think they did do a good job. It started off strong but was then as more order came, it was declining thereafter. Rice is so/so, a little soft and a lot on some particular pieces. Kani salad for an app was pretty good - I've had it with seaweed in it before and so I ordered one of those as well to mix it all together - very tasty! There's a limit on the number of sashimi pieces you can order within a certain time frame. The fish was decently fresh. We came for the unagi and was tasty but the other pieces were just OK. The hotate nigiri was decent as well. Whenever I go to AYCE, specialty rolls blend together for me in flavor so I can't say what was the best lol. read more

Dined here with a couple gals around V-Day and the place was subtly decked out with love and hearts decor. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived around 5ish but started filling up around 7. The options are endless when it comes to the all you can eat sushi. 10/10 for each plate coming out beautifully presented. All in all, 4 out 5. We didn't see much of our waitress and the sushi is good but nothing to write home about. read more

This place was clean, fresh and welcoming. The sushi is above average. We will be back for more. Thank you.

Pretty standard AYCE sushi. I would say that the selection on the signature rolls is better than sushi taku. I went with 2 other friends and we did the math and we had to each get 2 rolls to make it worth the AYCE so we got 6 rolls together and didn't finish it all. They were super nice though I think they could tell we weren't purposely being greedy so the server didn't charge us the extra fee for the leftover rolls. The interior is also bigger than I expected! read more

Koi Sushi - Ayce order - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Edit: Thank you to the business for clarifying; although this review is linked to the correct business, I remembered incorrectly the roll names. These have been adjusted accordingly from "Sakura" and "Turtle" roll in my original post. Feeling adventurous one evening, I decided to give Koi a try upon recommendation. I ordered the Cherry Blossom and Green Turtle rolls. The tempura, unfortunately, was soggy as if it had been frozen and reheated. I felt that the Cherry Blossom roll had too much going on and ended up a confusing mix of competing flavors. As for the rave reviews, I speculate that they are mostly a nod to the relatively inexpensive ACYE. If you are looking to try a lot of different types of rolls, maybe this is a fair option to consider in that regard. read more

A great sushi spot if you're in the Lincoln park area. You get a great portion of food! Also a must try is their crispy Kani salad I have to have it every time I come here! They recently upgraded their location and it's even bigger now, it's also great for large groups. read more

I would have liked to have given a different review, had my party been able to eat in the first place. Yesterday, I scheduled a reservation for a large party of 18 people. Yeah, a BIG group to celebrate a birthday. We made the initial reservations and needed to add more people from the initial number to reach 18. Throughout this, the restaurant continually ensured that we would be accommodated. We asked them, if it's too many people, let us know now! They assured us and said we should be fine. We enter the restaurant to learn that they did not have enough tables as they continued to book themselves into a corner. When my party arrived, we were shuffled through the restaurant until they realized they didn't have enough seating to accommodate everyone. We were the chastised by the manager, saying their capacity is 14 and to remember that in the future. Throughout this, one of the party members is disabled and used a wheelchair for mobility. The disability entrance was blocked by cleaning items and carts, and they did not help in moving any of the items to let the man in! They kept telling us to try and squeeze them in past the cart, as if a human body and wheelchair is malleable (???) We ultimately left because we were not comfortable dining in the restaurant and especially with how they handled our reservations. They never had enough seats for us from the start snd claimed it's unusual, which based on Google trends results, was a lie. They over booked themselves and tried to spin it on us for exceeding their capacity. Why would you even accept and reassure us of our reservation through multiple convos then? And not moving anything to help someone with accessibility needs because you don't know where to put your cart is NOT my problem. Completely uncool and avoiding in the future. read more

We went for the all you can eat. The sushi here is absolutely delicious. We got a variety of rolls and all of them were great. The appetizers on the other hand, did not shine so bright. The gyoza and the rangoons were good but the octopus salad, calamari, and miso soup were not the best. The service was quick and the restaurant was nice and quiet. The all you can eat is definitely worth it as long as you stick to sushi. read more

Second time coming here. Came the first time w/ my friends from my old job who I only see 3-4 times a year now which makes me a little sad but grateful for the time I do get to spend with them. Came here with my new friends friends from work. Took us months to get together bc of the holidays. Kelsey couldn't make it though which makes me sad. But it's fine I will see her again some day. Anyway, I love it here. All of the alcohol is like $5, they have great Happy Hour specials too. The all you can eat is AWESOME. Got a bunch of appetizers prior to the sushi arriving. Sesame balls, seaweed salad, gyosa, crab Rangoon, other stuff - all included with the AYCE special for like $35 a person. The sushi was great. Got the monster roll, and I don't remember the names of anything else. I was worried we wouldn't finish everything but we did. No room for dessert this time but the first time I went the Mochi and ice cream were great. I hope my old friends from work see this review and hang out with me more read more

This was my first time at Koi Sushi, my best friend and I went for dinner. We both had a Lychee Martini that my bf described as "the best I ever had." It was amazing! Very refreshing and not too sweet. We had the Kani Salad and absolutely loved it. The sushi was PHENOMENAL!! We ordered five rolls with the 'all you can eat' dinner. Incredible presentation on the sushi and the spicy tuna was perfect and spicy. We loved everything that came to the table! Will definitely go back. read more

Is this my new fav sushi spot?? It's pretty up there for me and I was not disappointed at all. Now me and my boyfriend are ride or die Sushi Taku fans but this place has got me reconsidering!! I know this place is also very new. First, they take reservations which is already a pro compared to Sushi taku. It also seems like there's way more parking in a less crowded area. I had dinner at 5pm on a Saturday and the place was basically empty. By the end of my meal, the place got decently packed. The restaurant itself was nice and tidy with awesome decor. They have booths, regular seating, and high chair options. They also have a bar! AYCE here is also cheaper than at Sushi Taku. Here are some things I noticed when comparing to Sushi Taku. Previous reviews talk about how the quality is better here and I couldn't agree more. They go the extra mile to present their food beautifully. Our sushi boat came with dry ice and other cute decorations which was so cool! I also noticed that the food here looks more refined if that makes sense? I feel like at Sushi Taku, they make their food with more rice or batter to make it more filling. Here, the ratio of ingredients were all appropriate which made eating everything more enjoyable. The apps that blew me away were the crispy kani salad and the jalapeño bombs! Literally an explosion of flavor in your mouth making me want more. For the boat, we ordered 9 rolls and killed it on 4 heads! Everything was so delicious I have ZERO complaints. Usually after Sushi Taku, I feel like dying from eating so much but after eating here, I felt comfortably full and not disgusting. I definitely will be back before this place blows up and gets super popular. read more

Love love love. We were driving by and I noticed the "all you can eat" signage. I was like what? Koi was what was in my mind all throughout the movie so we headed back for dinner. There is plenty of metered and free street parking nearby. We were able to park in a free spot a block away next to the Bank of America branch. We got here around 8pm and waited only about 25 minutes. Expect a line. There's a sign in sheet so make sure you put your name and number down. The host will call you when a table is ready. We were seated at the sushi bar, which wasn't too bad. So one can get pretty much the whole menu under the all you can eat regimen. One could also order a la carte. However, based on what you're ordering, you could end up paying about the same as the all you can eat price ($32 per person for dinner) but without the all you can eat. The sushi and appetizers were regular portion--they definitely did not skimp. The service was pretty quick. The server stopped by several times to check in on us to see if we wanted to order more. There is a 2-hour limit for all you can eat. If you don't finish what you order, you are charged $.50 to $1 for each uneaten piece. We will definitely be back! My only suggestion is to come earlier during the dinner hours to avoid a long wait. read more

Koi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came here for a weekend lunch and had a great time. It's $25 per person for all you can eat sushi, but they also have an a la carte menu with a few items that are not included on the AYCE menu. In addition, they have sushi party platters available, which I am definitely interested in ordering at some point! There was no wait and plenty of seating inside when we came. Employees here continue to work with their masks on. Service was reasonable- do expect some time for the rolls to be made. They were out of two items that we wanted to try that day: hamachi kama and uni. We decided to order some of their signature rolls. The presentation was quite fun, with the dry ice creating a cool effect on the sushi platter. My favorite signature rolls were New Moon, Amazing Tuna, and Bird Nest. These were excellent and I would order again in a heart beat. The Hidden Dragon roll was a let down. The tempura inside this roll did not have a crispy texture and felt rather thick and rubbery, weighing down heavily on the entire roll, so I would probably skip this one in the future. Most of the signature rolls came in 8 pieces, and 2 rolls per person is more than plenty in my opinion, especially if you're ordering appetizers and nigiri. Overall, fish quality was very good, as good as you can expect from an AYCE sushi joint. We ended the meal with their green tea mochi ice cream, which is limited to one mochi per guest. The ice cream portion was yummy, but the mochi portion tasted like cardboard- desiccated and unpalatable, like it's been sitting in the freezer for way too long. Not the best ending to an otherwise satisfying meal but not the worst thing. This place is definitely a strong contender in Chicago's AYCE sushi scene and will be added to my list of restaurants to revisit and recommend. read more
