Reviews
Menu:
The menu is genuinely interesting and stands out from many other sushi restaurants in Denmark. It offers several items you don’t usually find elsewhere, which is a clear plus. The selection feels diverse and thoughtfully put together.
To be honest, the dessert selection felt limited. Adding a simple option such as a small cake or fresh fruit would have completed the menu nicely.
That said, ordering is done exclusively via phone, and the images in the digital menu are extremely small. This makes it difficult to understand what many of the dishes actually look like, especially when trying new or unfamiliar items.
Atmosphere & Service:
The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, with a high-end feel. The dimmed lighting creates a slightly romantic mood, although after some time it does become straining for the eyes due to the lack of light.
The restrooms are very clean and well maintained, and I appreciated the wardrobe solution, which allows guests to store winter jackets rather than keeping them on the back of the chair. The staff were polite and professional throughout the visit.
Food:
Unfortunately, this is where the experience fell short.
Starting with the sushi: the rice was very dry and tasted as if it had been prepared long before serving. While the fish itself seemed fresh, the dry rice completely overpowered the overall experience, causing the sushi to lose balance and texture. In some rolls, the ingredients were poorly combined, resulting at times in an overly sour taste.
I also tried the bao buns with chicken and duck. These were, without exaggeration, the worst bao buns I have had. The chicken was so overcooked in the fryer that it became extremely crunchy, to the point where the meat itself was no longer distinguishable and it felt like eating chips inside a bao bun. The same chicken was also used in some sushi rolls, which gave the impression of eating sushi with fried chips rather than chicken.
I hoped the duck bao bun would be better, but unfortunately it wasn’t. The fat from the duck completely dominated the dish, overtaking the flavor of the meat itself.
The grilled salmon dish was heavily covered in sauce, to the extent that the salmon’s natural taste was almost entirely lost. The only dish I genuinely enjoyed was the cucumber salad, it was fresh, well-balanced, and flavorful.
However, sushi was the main reason for our visit, especially given the award the restaurant has received. In that regard, the experience was deeply disappointing.
Waiting Time:
Despite being the first guests to arrive and the first to place an order, we waited approximately 30 minutes for the first dishes to be served, which felt excessive under the circumstances.
Overall Impression:
Based on my experience, I cannot consider KOI Sushi to be the best sushi restaurant in Denmark. I am giving 2 stars, solely for the atmosphere and interior of the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food, which is the most important element of any restaurant, did not meet expectations.
This is honest and personal feedback. Having visited many sushi restaurants across Denmark, I believe I have a fair point of comparison, and I truly expected much more from a restaurant holding such a title.
The interior is beautiful and the atmosphere is just as enjoyable, with relaxed, chill music in the background. While takeaway is available, I highly recommend dining in to fully experience the restaurant.
A double award-winner for Best Sushi Restaurant in the country, it’s a must-visit destination for sushi / Asian cuisine lovers.
They took good care of my fiance who has a lot of allergies, and took extra time to ensure one of their core recipes was altered to exclude the things he’s allergic to.
We both wholely enjoyed the experience and would come back any day 🙂
The only thing “lacking” was that they only had one kind of soda Pepsi or Pepsi max, which is not much of a selection, but the food makes up for it.
Crazy that tap water costs 40kr and it’s not refillable.
The restaurant was much dark and not very visible on the table, cause there was only a small candle.
Not even a dessert for the AYCE formula, that by the way are only 2 for 80kr each (3 pieces of ice mochi or black sesame ice cream)
Never coming back.
+ cozy and clean restaurant
+ nice but very busy staffs
+ clean ladiesroom and very thoughtful to leave hygiene products for ladies.
_ Drinks tasted not at all like ginger beer but a very strong essens of ginger.
_ Food was not served in a dish suitable for sushi. So all the sushi were on top of each other.
_ very slow service and you didn’t get what you’ve ordered.
_ I’ll give a +2 out of 5.
_ /+It costs 680kr for two.
