Koi Sushi Garden 156 The Grove, London E15 1NS

"Koi Sushi Garden, aka the place where my taste buds go to party! I ordered the sushi platter with edamame, and let me tell you, it was like a symphony of flavors dancing in my mouth. The sushi was so fresh, I swear I saw it doing yoga earlier that day. And the edamame? Don't even get me started. It was like they plucked each little bean from the garden of the gods themselves. The only downside was that I couldn't stop eating - I mean, how do they expect me to have self-control when they're serving up sushi rolls that make me want to propose marriage on the spot? The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was chill and laid-back. If you're a sushi lover, do yourself a favor and check out Koi Sushi Garden. Just make sure you bring an appetite and maybe some chopstick skills - those little rolls can be tricky"

"One of the best Japanese restaurants I've been to. Great decor and amazing food. The sushi was absolutely delicious and well worth the money"

"Because of the high ratings in Google reviews, my friend and I decided to go there for a Thursday dinner and we both were quite disappointed. Maybe it was because our expectations were too high due to the good reviews and ratings. We arrived at the restaurant around 7:30pm. We just walked in and there was only us in the restaurant. The receptionist as well as the only waiter was nice. We ordered different food which were sashimi, tuna tartare, shrimp tempura, roasted eggplants, rainbow rolls; and also 250ml of plum wine for sharing. Let’s start with the sashimi, the salmon and tuna was not fresh. The fish slices were very thin and the texture was not good. The cooked shrimps and octopus were dry and chewy. The eel were normal. Tuna should be the main character of the dish, however the tuna was as well not fresh but to eat with the avocado and soy sauce, it was Bette than the sashimi. The outer coating of the shrimp tempura was too thick and not crispy enough. One half of the roasted eggplants tasted quite good but the other half was a bit bitter. Maybe the surface is over-grilled. The last food was the rainbow rolls. We had to remind the waiter about the rainbow rolls after we almost finished all other food and a dragon roll was arrived wrongly. We asked the waiter if this was rainbow roll and he answered yes. But it was a dragon roll. So we told him and he took the roll back to the kitchen and got us a rainbow roll at last. The plum wine is was fine. The dinner costed around £130 and we both thought the price didn’t match with the food quality. Disappointed dinner experience."

"Decided to try this place out as it's been here for a while and we really enjoyed it. Service was very warm and quick, Max our server was a delight, very chatty and friendly (and also has good taste in music). Food was delicious."

"The sushi was actually not too bad and the restaurant itself looked nice. We got a little buzzer to press if we wanted the waiter too but unfortunately there were some dishes that was very underwhelming, like the gyoza which was soggy rather than seared. The eel sashimi was not very good either. The service was really slow considering the restaurant was very quiet. Overall it was ok, but I’ve had better."
