    Misc Nigiri
    Gabeh D.

    As a couple that's very used to sticking to one sushi place and finding nitpicks in any new ones, this restaurant blew us away. First off, the quality of the sushi is amazing for the price. And second, the price is incredible for the quality. For an AYCE sushi spot the quality of the nigiri is delicious with just the right ratio of rice to fish. The appetizers were also tasty and came out quickly. The staff is also so kind and helpful and attentive. Whenever we needed anything they were already bringing it to us or immediately around. We will definitely be coming back again and again.

    Decided to try out Koyi cause I pass by it all the time and I'm always down to try new things. As far as the all you can eat experience, I would say it was pretty average. You get 3 rounds and you can select different tiers of AYCE. The service was very quick (but then again it wasn't super packed) and my waitress was doing an amazing job. She was the only one working the floor and she did awesome making sure everyone was being attended to. Koyi is a small space so it doesn't seat very much. If you're coming with a large party, I might try to call in advance to gauge out the environment. Now as far as the food is concerned, it met my expectations and while it didn't blow my mind, it hit the spot. What I really appreciated was that their meat to rice ratio which made the price worth it. Overall, I'd recommend Koyi if you're looking for a quick bite.

    I am always hunting for new sushi places to try, so when I heard sushi VIP was under new ownership with a new name of Koyi Sushi, I was very excited to try it! The sushi was delicious! The fish tasted very fresh and the fish to rice ratio was very good! I loved that they had specialty options like the blue fin tuna and giant scallops to try! We tried two of the no rice rolls which were both good but had a bit too much sauce for my liking. The same went for the fried avocado bites. Delicious, but a touch too saucy- but I have no doubt that if you requested less sauce that they would be happy to oblige. The service was good and the waiters were very polite. One thing to note is if you have sensitive ears like me, don't sit below one of the TVs since it can get a bit loud. The actual vibe of the restaurant was okay. Some of the lightbulbs were mismatched (white light vs warm light) and not much in terms of atmosphere. I also liked the fact that their menus had pictures of the rolls, but the pictures are so small they are very difficult to see. The menu itself did have quite a bit of variety. One thing to note is that you order the individual pieces, not the typical sets when it comes to nigiri. (If you order 1 salmon nigiri, you will get 1 individual nigiri). I liked this because it lets you order odd number. They do not allow half orders for the AYCE. Overall I really enjoyed Koyi Sushi much more than I did under its previous owners! The sushi was excellent and I look forward to going back soon. Date of visit: 06/01/25

    Everything was delicious here! From the miso soup, sashimi salad, rolls and nigiri sushi, everything was delicious and the service here was excellent! Great service and chef! The ambiance is perfect and cozy. They provide great customer service and even greater food. 100% recommend for anyone in the Montclair, IE Area!

    Fantastic sushi spot and our new favorite! We've been getting tired of the high bill and low quality sushi we'd been getting at sushi Martini, so we're very happy to have found this spot. Sushi is of a good quality, with excellent rice - fish ratios. They have a wide selection on the menu, and the non-rice rolls are a nice inclusion. Only complaint is the heavy use of sauce, but I'm sure the chefs will be happy to adjust at your request. The chefs at the bar are very welcoming, and you can feel their appreciation/passion for their restaurant! Staff/servers less so, but +1 to the chefs. Ambiance is a bit odd, you can definitely feel like the place is still getting its vibe settled, lighting needs work, but I'm excited to see this place grow.

    This place is really new and I love trying out new places! The girl working the front, I didn't get her name was really nice and really on point with checking on us. She explained the menu to us and kept checking back to make sure we had everything we needed. The dishes came out quick and the kitchen items were really hot and fresh. The fish to rice ratio is so good here. The rice is so small and I love when places do that because they aren't trying to fill you up with rice. Its in a decent sized plaza with tons of parking but it can get packed due to all the establishments open. I'm always looking for new AYCE places so I'm glad I found this spot.

    Don't let the old-school vibe fool you--sushi is incredibly fresh and the service surprised me in the best way. Our server was attentive and genuinely cared about our experience. Solid spot, will be back.

    Absolutely one of the best all-you-can-eat sushi spots I've been to. The fish was incredibly fresh and everything tasted amazing. The quality was surprisingly high for the price. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Definitely coming back and highly recommend!

    Good place to try for ayce sushi! Lunch was $29.95, was a bit adamant based on reviews but after trying it for myself it was a nice time. Nigiri was good, the roll selections were nice - mango salmon was our favorite. They had some no rice rolls & appetizer options as well. Waiter checked up on us and refilled our water, place was nice and spacious. They do close at 3:30 and reopen 5 PM on the weekdays so make a note to come before 3 for ayce. Overall would come again :)

    Sunomuno cucumber salad
    Rose U.

    Miso soup was lukewarm and had no tofu or seaweed Baked mussels were bland in flavor Sunomuno Cucumber salad wasn't good--Cucumbers were opaque and the sweet vinegar taste was overwhelming Spicy scallop handroll was definitely spicy, but in a good way Tuna sushi was mild in flavor Octopus sushi was clean in flavor and big pieces Squid sushi was also clean flavor and not overly chewy Salmon was very lean, but good Sweet shrimp sushi was chewy and underwhelming Imitation crab did not have enough mayo Mackerel was overcooked Yellowtail sushi was the best we got--flavorful and tender Rice was a bit dry Food overall rating: 5.3 Customer service good Service fast Atmosphere nice - calming music Cleanliness very subpar 5.6 overall scoring

    Food was so good I honestly don't leave reviews but for the price and the quality and the taste of the food I would 100% recommend. Honestly so good one of the best sushi places I've been to!!!

    Great customer service, they are very nice people they brought the food out very fast.

    Fresh fish, great presentation, and the rolls were packed with flavor. The sushi tasted high quality and everything came out fast. Definitely one of the better sushi spots I've tried -- I'd come back again.

    The quality of the food here is terrible. The sushi looked and tasted so old. Food quality alone is the reason to never come here...

    Sushi One Spot in Montclair is definitely up there with some of my favorite AYCE sushi spots…read more The sushi quality is really good, and you have a tone of nigiri and rolls to pick from. They also have a wide array of appetizers you can get, and all the ones we got (katsu, teriyaki chicken, miso soup, etc.) were all very good. The standouts by far are the nigiri, which are very fresh and have a great rice to fish ratio. The service here is also very quick and our server was very welcoming and attentive. Overall, Sushi One Spot is definitely a solid option if you want AYCE sushi, and I will certainly be back.

    Recently was enticed to return for their new tasting ayce menu that includes rolls, appetizers, and…read moresalad for 21.99. Think the value is genuinely unmatched and is definitely worthy of me returning in the future. However I think service could be slightly more hospitable, but seems like there's no incentive with autogratuity. The tablet system is more convenient for sure than waving down servers to take the paper, but they forgot to bring out a couple items and there's no way to visually keep track on the tablet. Mussels also could have been slightly better removed from their shell, some pieces you had to tug. Overall, this is the best deal for ayce sushi in the area by far as long as you don't feel like ordering nigiri.
