    The service person making the orders was very nice! Could tell enjoyed their job! Even told Dad jokes! Haha The bowl was yummy and full of protein. I got the Hawaiian Trio with Octopus. I saw another 2 enjoying their lunch who weren't sure what sauce they would like so the employee gave them a taster cup of each one to find their favorite! That was Nice!! Restaurant was small but modern and new!! They even cater large parties! Thought that was pretty cool to keep in mind for future. Unlike most poke places they also have chicken and tofu options to meet all dietary restrictions and needs!! Because I was wearing my work shirt - serving the Chandler-Gilbert community, I was given a small discount. That was much appreciated!! I will definitely come back. It's only 10 minutes drive from my site. Next time I was to try the Mochi and miso! I took mines to go this time.

    I just adore Koibito Poke. I love the freshness of the fish and veggies/toppings. I do think Koibito is the best poke spot in the East Valley easily. My favorite fish is the marinated tuna and I usually pair it with salad/brown rice. The toppings and sauces are so good too! They have great customer service on top of that. I tried their miso soup with tofu which was also good, soothing. They have available are mochi and teas/lemonades along with typical soda drinks. The ambiance is nice, clean and brightly lit. I look forward to coming back here always

    Spam musubi is less than an inch thick. It should be at least 2 inches. And one of my orders didnt even have spam on it.

    Small Poke Bowl w/salmon & Hawaiian tuna

    Clean shop and friendly owner! Stopped by here for the first time and got a small poke bowl (includes two scoops of protein). The fish seemed fresh and there were plenty of topping options. Majority of the toppings are similar to other poke places, but I did notice they have shaved brussels sprouts, which is something you don't typically see. My poke bowl breakdown: - Base: Combo (rice + greens) - Protein: 1 scoop salmon, 1 scoop Hawaiian tuna - Sauce: Koibito House + Citrus Ponzu - Toppings: edamame, cucumber, green onion, ginger, masago, cilantro, seaweed salad, crab mix - Dry toppings: furikake, fried onions I got a small bowl, which looked pretty small at first, but once you eat everything, it's actually very filling! Will be back :)

    I ordered off Uber eats and my sushi was really warm and smelt ate half and saw some stuff on the bottom that you only see with unsafe seafood, got sauce on the side and this is bad, hopefully I don't get sick

    Spicy crab and tuna bowl

    The food was amazing, some of the best poke in AZ that I've tried. The staff was even better. Kael and Mari were super nice and made the experience great. Will be coming back! The only thing that wasn't perfect was my avocado in the bowl was stiff so I had to take it out.

    Salmon & Pineapple

    I was in the Gilbert area and I was really hungry and really craving pokē, so I chose to go to Koibito since it is the only poke place I could find near this area. Unfortunately, I chose wrong. The bowl I ordered was NOT edible :( I stopped eating the bowl after only a few bites for several different reasons: * The rice was hard and chewy, likely due to it sitting in the cooker all day. * The pale yellow pineapple did not have much of a taste, but the little taste it did have was sour....not sweet and not juicy (like fresh/ripe pineapple should be). * The chopped cilantro had a lot of stems in it, which is honestly to be expected, but there was literally a stalk of the cilantro plant in my bowl (see photo). * I know that it can be difficult getting fresh fish to Arizona, but the texture of their salmon was firm, yet slimy? Not to mention that the color was a dull orange and NOT a bright pink or bright orange -- a big red flag for raw salmon (see photo). It reminded me of cat food so much that I actually offered a cube or 2 to my cat and he loved it (lol), meanwhile I am now dealing with gut rot. I wish I would have read the reviews beforehand and noticed that a majority of the 4 or 5 star reviews either only mention the customer service/the atmosphere, or it is that persons first time trying pokē. On the other hand, the reviews that are actually about the food are mostly 1 or 2 star reviews. So now I am very very hungry, very disappointed, and very sad about throwing away $18, especially because now I will have to spend another $18 getting food somewhere else :'(

    Koibito Bowl and Keto Bowl
    Cristina S.

    My partner and I ordered Koibito poke bowl and a keto bowl. The server offered us extra sauce and extra vegetable toppings at no extra cost. I added some ginger and pineapple. The staff was very kind and the drinks were great. They have these tractor drinks we never saw before. We tried the cucumber and strawberry dragonfruit. I highly recommend the drinks. The bowls were very good too. The place was very clean and the cushioned seats were comfortable. We live like half a mile away and would definitely go back.

I did a quick search on my Yelp app and saw that SR&G was not far from their pickleball training and decided that a nigiri bento box sounded good to me too... I went online to place an order on their website and was also pleasantly surprised with the prices - it turns out that this meal would not be that much more than what I would normally spend on dinner at a nearby fast food restaurant, yet so much healthier!

    I came to this restaurant after spending all day at the hospital across the street for my daughter…read moreso I was hungry and emotionally drained. When I walked in, I was promptly directed to where I should go so I could place a takeout order. The genuine courtesy of the staff here was just what I needed after a long day. Lots of great options for sushi but ramen sounded amazing on a chilly winter day. I ordered a couple options and requested for the toppings to be separated so my picky eater could pick out what she didn't like. The food was out promptly and packaged with such care. Once I got it back to my daughter's hospital room, we were able to feast on the best meal we had all day. I will definitely be coming back to this place again and I am grateful for their kindness just when I needed it. Highly recommend!

It was galaxy's better than the first one I tried. I can't wait to try a different one next time. Aside from the wonderful food. The staff there was really nice. They greeted us right away and quickly got us seated. Our server was also very friendly and attentive. The dining area was pretty clean and inviting too!

The restaurant is fairly large, and seems like a lot of people like coming here for family/friend dinners. Like the name insists, the teppanyaki is the way to go. Their menu isn't that large, so it was pretty easy to make a decision. I opted for the filet mignon (rare) along with shrimp. Teppanyaki is really more of a show/experience, so the food comes out to you in sections (versus all at once like at a traditional restaurant). The filet was so soft, and was perfectly rare, and the shrimp was so good. I think in the future I'd eat a whole plate of shrimp. I also got to try the yakiniku, and that was also pretty good but very sweet. Their Boo Yah Ka roll was also pretty yummy. It's essentially a spring roll, but with some spice and citrus to it. I felt that the portion was good for a large meal, but my friend who got the chef's combo definitely had enough for leftovers.

We had no idea what the female staff member was saying since her words were not in English. She was so loud & screaming in the bar area so the entire restaurant could hear her. A couple of staff members tried to claim her dow. This went on for several minutes. It was crazy. All us customers were silent & just looking at the girl screaming & yelling. The next thing we know, round two. It was unbelievable. What was even crazier was they didn't send the staff member home! No one came over & said a word. No one apologized or said anything. After all of this, they sat couple with us. Finally the chef came to the table. By this time it was 20 til 6:00. Hubby got the filet with fried rice. I got the shrimp with fried rice. The food was good. However, hubby's steak was over cooked. Thankfully, hubby told the chef he wanted to change the steak from medium to medium rare, or it would have been even more over cooked. I also watch all of the employees but one prepping the food without gloves. This used to be our go to place for, but now with all this issues this time, we will probably have to find a new place.
