We love Koya! This place is always so fresh and very close to us so that's a plus, the inside has ample seating and nice decor, they do have 2 TVs that they usually have sports on, every roll they have has a picture and explanation and they have hot foods like teriyaki and ramen you can also get as combination plates. The service is always fast, the only time I have ever had anything I wasn't stoked on was take out and that was still good just not right after being made good read more

Koya Sushi - Rainbow roll and Alaska roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

We recently tried Koya Sushi in Aliso Viejo. The baked salmon roll and tempura shrimp appetizers were delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. For our main dishes, my son and I decided to try the ramen, and unfortunately that part was a little disappointing. I've had ramen at other places that included more toppings like egg, wontons, and extra meat, which gave it a lot more flavor and texture. This ramen felt a little plain and lacked the richness I was expecting. Overall, the sushi and appetizers were really good, but I'd probably stick to those next time instead of the ramen. read more

The perfect spot to go to after the beach. Since I'm not from the area, this is usually where my girlfriend and I go after. The biggest thing with this place is the consistency. Rolls are amazing (Noya special is our favorite), and the Udon is a perfect complement! read more

I had the nicest lunch specials with my teenage son who loves sushi as much as I do. After a Dr. visit we came to this local spot and ordered from the lunch menu. Service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room was spacious and authentic feeling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the poke bowl special + added the $6 for Ikura (salmon eggs add in I was craving). So good. I had half and had the other half for dinner. Dear son had the 2 item special with the bbq meet and tempura roll. He loved his dish. They both came with miso soup. read more

My daughter and I were nearby and wanted to grab sushi for lunch. We eat a lot of sushi but had never been to this place before but chose it on proximity and the amount of positive reviews. The reviews are well warranted as the thickness of the fish was generous the staff was friendly and the flavor was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], parking is easy and at 1:00 on a Monday we were able to get right in. read more

Came here last night with some friends and was pleasantly surprised! The sushi was fresh and well balanced. I got the spicy Korean ramen and it had the perfect amount of spice. Only thing was that the noodles were giving instant ramen but it was tasty nonetheless read more

I have been a repeat customer at this restaurant because it's convenient while I'm waiting for my tires to be serviced nearby. (Shout out to Tucker tire!! BEST tire shop in OC) I always order to-go and eat outside in the park. Today, when I walked in to place my usual to-go order, I had my leashed service dog with me. I was not intending to sit down, which I clearly and calmly explained multiple times. Despite this, the waitress immediately became confrontational, stated that "service dogs are not allowed", said "nobody likes dogs in the restaurant," and got in my face in a very rude and aggressive manner. I had to repeat three times that I was only ordering food to go. For clarity: Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service dogs are legally allowed in public businesses, including restaurants, regardless of whether a customer is dining in or ordering to-go. Businesses are not allowed to deny access, harass, or express personal opinions about a customer's service animal. Staff may only ask two specific questions, neither of which were asked here. This interaction was not only unprofessional and hostile, but also discriminatory and unlawful. The behavior was driven by personal bias rather than policy or law. I am deeply disappointed because I've supported this business repeatedly. Unfortunately, after being treated this way, I will not be returning. I hope ownership takes this seriously, educates their staff on ADA compliance, and ensures no one else is subjected to this kind of treatment. read more

Great place, it's open late and the service has been great the 2 times we've been there. Sushi is great with a wide variety.

We enjoyed our dinner very much. The service was good, and we really enjoyed our meal. The spicy garlic edamame was especially good!

Was craving some sushi so I looked for a place near my home. This place popped up on here less than a mile away so I figured I'd give it a try, and I'm glad I did! I was very impressed with how fresh it tasted. I ordered the mango spicy tuna crunch roll. It did not disappoint! When I went in to pick up the sushi the lady who helped me was attentive and kind. There are advertisements on the window for buy one roll get one 50% off, but it is for dine in only. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Setup and sushi bar is nice inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Looking forward to possibly dining in next time! read more

Sushi was decent. We ordered their special where you order two and get one free. After a long while I was waiting for our last roll. They forgot to order it. When I asked to take the roll out due to their error, they said we couldn't do the special to-go. We had been there well over an hour and had small children. There was no way we could wait for them to make another roll. It was not our fault they forgot to put the order in and they should have honored it. Disappointing and we won't be back due to poor service. read more

Koya Sushi is very delicious and definitely stands out from your typical sushi spot. The fish is super fresh and not fishy at all, which I really appreciate. They offer creative rolls and unique options you don't usually find at traditional sushi places, making it a fun experience. It is a little on the pricey side, but the quality and variety make it worth trying! read more

My first time trying this restaurant. I had placed an online order. The descriptions of the items online are not very detailed. I got in my car and saw that they had drizzled eel sauce on both of my orders, and I distaste eel sauce very much. I felt incredibly bad for returning my food, but I knew I wouldn't be able to stomach them. The staff was very accommodating and remade my order without hesitation, but did inform me to next time notify them on the notes section of the order form. Once again, the descriptions made no mention of eel sauce, and on the "Remove Items" section of the order form, it does not have the option for me to remove eel sauce. They also informed me that they pretty much put eel sauce on all of their rolls (something I've never experienced before). The point I'm trying to make is, if you are adversed to certain things, best to specify that in the notes section when placing your order just in case. To the staff, thank you again for remaking my food. read more

I happened to be in the area and my son got hungry so I Yelped a good sushi spot to fill his craving. We were the first customers on a Sunday afternoon. There was one server for the entire restaurant - I commended her for doing her job but I feel the restaurant could use another server for better service. The restaurant is in a fairly big plaza so I don't see an issue with parking. Women's restroom is in the left back corner and is clean. Our food was made pretty quickly. I appreciate they offer a variety of specialty rolls and combinations on the menu. I also appreciate that they have a deal on some of their rolls - buy one get one half off. The rolls were good but nothing I would crave. I do have a few pet peeves while dining and one is when I'm presented with the check before asking for it or even while we have food on our plates. Maybe I'm a little old school but I prefer to pay when I've finished my meal and I'm ready to leave. read more

Honestly, one of the worst sushi experiences I've had. The food tasted like it had been sitting in a refrigerator for days--cold, dry, and completely flavorless. Definitely not fresh. On top of that, the service was terrible. The staff was rude, impatient, and acted like we were bothering them just by being there. No smile, no help, no apology--nothing. If you care about fresh food and decent customer service, I'd recommend going somewhere else. Very disappointing experience. read more

We went there around 9pm since they were open. There was barely any customer since it was late so I can't rate their service based on that. Their sushi was good. We also ordered two cut rolls. The one in the picture with shrimp tempura was good but the one with crawfish was too saucy and not good. As for the ambiance it is nice but no different than most sushi places. The restaurant size is a bit bigger than usual for sushi places. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Relaxed, welcoming environment with great service and broad sushi/bento menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The two item dinner combination with salmon and chicken teriyaki was one of the best I've hard with very solid portions. Miso soup at $2.50 very flavorful and a bargain. Shrimp tempura and spicy tuna roll high quality as expected based on the reviews. Definitely worth a 10+ minute drive to specifically come here. Server also catered nicely to our toddler read more

So I have to be very honest in my review and here it goes 1. yes this places does a great amount of business why becuz they have great specials that brings in people to deals .. 1:2 price rolls happy hour specials etc. 2. The food is prepared in a way I have never had before a lot of cream cheese layers of butter dripping asparagus a lot of imitation crab meat ... teriyaki sauce over edamame is not what u find in a Sushi restaurant I can attest for that as I often visit Japan and the preparation is completely different. This place does well because of the location and diversity of people going here ... just saying! read more
