Koji Japanese Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
A hidden gem. Small strip restaurante with great food. The service was perfect, food came quick and staff was very attentive. The dynamite roll and Philadelphia rolls were incredible. Best sushi I have ever had. Not pictured is the unagi bowl that was quickly demolished as well. Service was excellent and friendly. Ambiance is casual. I'm surprised this restaurant was not busier. I would definitely come back!
Food was AMAZING. Hole in the wall. I would never have tried it without these Yelp reviews which is why I'm posting. Sake was good, service was great and the sushi was truly excellent and we're picky!
My family and I came here as a last minute dinner situation and found this place through yelp. Upon arrival, parking is difficult. They have a shared lot but it was quite crowded from other stores. They have minimal seating and it seemed like there were more people coming here for takeout. We ended up ordering the four person set which came with loads of sushi/sashimi, a tempura platter, and soups and salads for four people. Sushi and sashimi were pretty good and was presented very well (came out on a mini lazy susan). Service was on point as well, as our waitress checked up on us frequently and kept out water cups full.
This is our neighbourhood go-to sushi place. They are always so nice and the sushi is quite good. The platter for 2 great and could probably feed 3! The chef is very creative and made us a special sushi plate. Highly recommend A+
Came here for lunch on a Fri around 1:30pm. Restaurant was about 40% full. Service was friendly and attentive. I got the beef teriyaki lunch special. It came in a bento box with miso soup, salad, spring roll and a few pieces of fried fish for $10. Was good tasting all the different items in the bento box. The beef was more over cooked than I liked and wasn't much beef either. Overall portion size of the bento box was good. They also offer barley tea for free. Would be interested in coming back to try different dish.
Went to Koji Sushi from reading all the reviews left by everyone. Decided to give it a go, the interior decor is very appealing for being in the symington/DuPont area. The waitress and chef behind the sushi bar are very kind and friendly. The food we order are 2 donburi fish and the dynamite combo. Simply delicious, will be coming back to this establishment.
Koji is good! Finally a sushi place out west to cater to the Emerson junction triangle! The fish was fresh and their portions are perfect. I had the lunch sashimi combo and shared the salmon sushi pizza. I will definitely go back as it is the nearest to me and it is also a nice little place to catch up with friends too. The staff was friendly and they were great with service. This place is relatively new so decor is still coming in. All in all I liked the food and the price was also decent.
