SUSHI KOYA

My new favorite local sushi place. Beautiful presentation and delicious taste. Hot the sushi platter, sushi and sashimi, and flaming dragon roll for two people. Just enough. By the way, their miso soup is also really good it’s a standalone building and the area is a little divey but inside is nice, clean. Service is fast and friendly.

Good place for sushi and Japanese dishes.
We ordered bento and grilled unagi.
Food was good and tasty, and the service was good.
Would go there for a casual outing or quick meal, but not on date or formal dining.

I don’t usually leave a review or at all, even if it is really bad. Well, my favorite place here that I’ve visited for years, has extremely disappointed me so much that I just can’t justify a next visit ever again. Ordered at 4:50pm(opens at 5pm) for pickup at 5:30pm

I’ve ordered:
Garlic Roll
Nigiri Seared Salmon x 2
Nigiri Yellow Tail x 2
Nigiri SkipBack x 2

First off, the rice was taken out too early. If you have a rice cooker, you’ll know how it tastes and feel when the moment you take it out after it finishes. It felt soggy with a bit of crunch. That goes for both the roll and nigiri I’ve ordered. I think rice is just as important if not more than the fish itself..

Secondly, the nigiri I’ve ordered did not taste fresh. There is no savory-ness and is really bland. If I were to close my eyes, I couldn’t tell you which is what... Rice was bland and did not taste sweet like sushi rice should. I’m sure the roll and nigiri are from the same rice, undercooked.

Thirdly, how old are leftover sushi from earlier the day??? Why is the tuna so dark?? Shouldn’t this “skipjack” tuna be a bit red-brown???

Sad to say but for $80, the rice could have at-least been better. I just can’t see myself visiting a place I’ve liked for years that did extremely poor on this delivery of sushi. Just don’t order or be here right when they open, you’ll most likely get their scrap and rushing. No matter what price range you pay($5 a piece per nigiri), quality won’t be checked and you’ll just have to be lucky to get fresh quality ones. I’ve had bad nigiri but not this rice-bad.

Not sure what happened in today’s order or if it is just bad timing, but I’ve had better in previous visits(10+) and enjoyed every visits besides today.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sushi Koya never disappoints! We arrived right when they reopened at 5:00 pm and were the first ones there. The service was incredibly fast, and the food was amazing as usual. I absolutely love their Honeymoon Rolls – the mango is always fresh, unlike many other sushi places. Their signature Battleship is simply delicious. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for top-notch sushi!

Every time I go here, everyone says hello. They food is great, and the presentation is beautiful, it is like art work. Clean bathrooms and helpful staff! Not to mention, the food is excellent with large portions!

The waitress warned us that the large sushi rolls are really big and we didn’t think much of it but the “large” sushi rolls were some of the largest I have ever seen! Definitely should experience.

Also got a bento where the salmon was a bit dry. They were nice to give out miso soup to the little one.

The server was so kind even if we came in a bit late. No sign of attitude at all. They’re located in an awkward area, so parking is a bit of a challenge which is easily covered by the parking lot over by McDonald’s. Hot tea was free! Miso soup is delish and BBQ mussels has a slightly different taste than what I usually get from other sushi places. My tempura shrimp and vegetables was perfectly crispy. Reached over to try a roll off of my son’s plate and it was fresh as it can be. I will order my go to saba dinner plate next time because yes, I’ll be coming back here whenever I crave a Japanese meal.
