    Chirashi bowl (lunch special)
    Sarah X.

    This restaurant was such a wonderful find! My friend and I walked in on a Saturday afternoon, and we were immediately seated. The interior was so pretty and made for such a calm, peaceful environment. I ordered the chirashi bowl from the lunch special menu, which was delicious. The sashimi tasted so fresh, and the presentation was great, too. My friend ordered the shrimp avocado roll and salmon roll, which she enjoyed! I would definitely come here again to try more.

    Very good! I've ordered to go and dined in, outside on the sidewalk for lunch special. We also tried Roll for Two and Sushi Koshi Roll. Excellent staff/ service and the sushi is very fresh! We have been very happy with this spot! Would absolutely recommend!

    Continuing on my local sushi tour we find Sushi Koshi. It was delivery this time, but will stop in to check out their sit-down next time. To start we ordered Gyoza (3/5), these were cold for some reason while the complimentary miso soup was warm/hot. The pork filling was good enough. The Tuna Tataki (5/5) and Shashimi (4/5) were both very good and fresh as can be. For our sushi rolls we got the JJ Roll (5/5) and the Blooming Roll (4/5). Both were excellent, but the JJ Roll was our favorite. The Crab, fried shrimp, cream cheese, etc... were the perfect match of flavors for so much going on. The Blooming had ample amount of tuna, white fish, and tuna on top--something was missing though. They threw in a a free roll which I thought was great for a first experience with them. They never mentioned what the roll was, but it was great. This place was consistent compared to our last sushi experience in the area. Will try again.

    Really enjoyed our dinner here! I love the fact that they had outdoor seating so that was a huge plus! The staff is very friendly and service was great! We got a variety of rolls and sashimi. Everything was so fresh and delicious! It is a byob restaurant and there is a liquor store next door!

    Been here a few times because we really enjoy the sushi here and tranquil decor! The times we've gone we also have never had to wait too long for a table even though it always seems pretty busy. I did recently order the yakisoba just to try it and it was good but feel like it could have been saucier. Planning to come back and try some of their other dishes as well but the sushi is for sure delicious!

    Salmon dragon and sushi koshi roll.

    Solid 4.5 stars! We wanted to see for ourselves after reading the great reviews and Sushi Koshi did not disappoint. We were lucky to get a reservation. The restaurant is buzzing, small and charming. Our table started with the Avocado fries and gyoza. Very good. And we ordered a bunch of special rolls: tuna and salmon dragon, volcano, sushi koshi, lava and Grand Canyon rolls. All delicious and fresh. Great plating and presentation. Definitely worth checking out.

They even have cute little buttons on the tables you can press to buzz for service, which was a nice touch. My daughter had the Ebi Udon soup and I ordered the Katsudon. Everything tasted fine. The issue wasn't flavor -- it was how filling the meals were. Both dishes felt light for dinner. The Katsudon was mostly white rice (probably three-quarters of the bowl) with pork cutlet on top. It was tasty, but halfway through I felt like I was just eating rice. They do have a restroom in the back for customers, and there's no credit card fee (yaay). Overall, decent food and very nice service -- just better suited for a light lunch than a full dinner before a show.

My service may have been impacted by inclement weather, but while the server was very nice and courteous, after ordering, it did take about an hour to recieve food, even as it came out in waves as it was ready. The chicken karage was not your typical style, fried with a light coating of what seemed to be tapioca starch, which was less crispy but still flavorful and delicious. We were expecting wafu fries to be waffle fries, but they were instead similar to okonomiyaki style fries which was a pleasant surprise. Their okonomiyaki was fantastic, crispy yet still moist inside, and seasoned generously. Their sandos on the otherhand were pretty well-packed, but didn't stand out flavorwise to me and any of the selections we made. Their niku udon on the otherhand was a warm, comforting bowl of bouncy noodles, and quite a large portion for its price. To finish off our meal, we had their mitarashi dango (grilled sweet soy sauce that was definitrly the star of the meal, warm and chewy and tasted like honey) as well as their kusa red bean dango (served cold, and generously coated with red bean, but the cold temperature made them extra tough to chew and a very mild grassy flavor). Overall, one of the many solid choices for a mid day meal in Montclair. Parking, as per usual in Montclair, have plenty of street parking options, or thr crescent parking tower is not too far a walk.

The reservation required a credit card but I was able to mention a birthday. We were seated right away at a nice window table with a bench, which made it easy to fit everyone. We ordered a bunch of small plates and not a single miss: Tuna Crudo -- fresh, simple, and kid-approved Japanese Potato Salad with Ikura -- lightly creamy with a salty, briny pop Asari Clam Soup -- loaded with clams, miso; buttery and comforting Furikake Cottage Fries -- hot, round crispy ridges with a ketchup-y dip, very snackable for everyone Spicy Tuna Dip -- gone in about 60 seconds For the temaki (hand rolls), they recommend 5 per person. They do something a little different and honestly pretty fun. The fillings come out on flat sticks in a wooden holder (kinda like a taco stand), and you get boxes of nori (seaweed sheets) on the side. You slide the filling onto the seaweed yourself and eat it right away, so everything stays nice and crisp. It's a little DIY, but in a good way. While they offer 3 Temaki preselected sets, you can also order a la carte. I went with the Signature Set (tuna poke, XO scallop, coconut shrimp, salmon serrano, cucumber black sesame) and was really happy with it. We also got also got 2 sets of California rolls for the girls. My brother's Everything Bagel hand roll was a fun surprise. It tasted just like one. We finished with the Lemon Curd Churros- fresh, hot, and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The curd was a little on the firm side, but still good. Everyone left full and delighted. NOTES/TIPS: **BYOB, Wheelchair-accessible. Clean bathrooms. Modern vibes. **Entire menu is gluten-free **Vegan options available if you ask, plus a strong plant-based roll selection **Plan for ~5 hand rolls per person (including the kids) **Several parking decks a block or two away
