Our family loves this place! They have excellent food and always provide wonderful service. Their ahi tuna tower is one of our favorites on the menu. Great, cute atmosphere! Would recommend to anyone :)

SO good!! Food was fresh and service fantastic. My husband or two rolls, a super tuna roll and deep fried spicy tuna. Both were great. I got a salmon skin cut roll on soy paper and it was perfect. We also ordered three of the Tuna Sushi and the pieces were thick and cold. Salad and miso were also excellent. We will definitely be back!!

I don't know what they do, but the chicken here is always soooo tender and juicy. It almost just melts in your mouth. This is one of my go to lunches. I've tried sushi on other trips and have been pleased as well. Will post pictures next time. Clean restaurant area. Kind helpful staff. Can watch your sushi rolls being prepared in real time which is fun.

We tried this little spot on a whim, and I'm glad we did. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and delicious food. The lemon roll was particularly excellent.

Food was decent. Rolls came out fast. Was expecting donburi to be a little better, tasted like an overcooked omelet over rice.

Great sushi and great service. Lots a great rolls to choose from. There weren't any that we didn't like! We've done take out and we've eaten in a couple of times lately. Good social distancing. We'll be back soon!

We have supported this restaurant for 13 years. The food is good, however the waitress tonight was extremely rude. We will not be returning.

Wonderful and friendly staff. They brought Miso soup and edamame to greet us while we ordered drinks. I had Gyoza and a shrimp tempura sushi roll. Really good! My husband had a bento box with chicken, and he said it was wonderful.
I'm really sorry I forgot to take pictures, because the presentation was beautiful.
Very clean and they follow Covid protocol.
A wonderful low key dining experience! Thank you!

I got the chicken katsu. Pretty good overall. The breading was hard to keep on and there wasn't enough sauce, we asked for extra. My boyfriend didn't love it, but he's a little picky, I liked it. The sides tasted great and I'm enjoying leftovers today for lunch. Service was good

Delicious, clean, and friendly. We were surprised you have to order when you walk in but the waitresses were sweet and friendly when they brought the food and drinks. They serve Japanese beers and sake! We will be back:)

Best sushi place in Olympia. Tastes the most authentic. I recommend the Volcano roll and the Double Tuna roll!

Very friendly wait staff and high quality sushi. I absolutely love the wide variety of sushi that they offer. They have a very detailed menu so that those who are new to sushi understand what they are ordering. They always offer a cup of miso soup while you are waiting for your meal. The sushi is always fresh and beautifully placed with wasabi and ginger on the side for flavor. If you want the full experience I would highly recommend ordering the chefs choice. It's a surprise variety. These pictures were also taken after I had traded my friend two of our sushi pieces so it doesnt look as pretty

Low grade ingredients make for low grade sushi.
This place used to be better, but the rolls shrunk and the crab mix ( not meat) in rolls is boarder line disgusting.. the tempura was greasy and even the tea tasted watered down .. the only part of meal that was good was the salmon but that was not enough to carry the rest of roll.. with a wide array of sushi houses in Olympia, this is skip ..

Super good sushi!!! This place is a regular place we come to now!
We have both been stationed in Japan and this sushi hits just as good as it did in Japan.

Another OK Japanese restaurant in Olympia. Had a pork Katsu-don - the flavor of the sauce and rice was fine but the pork was very thin and way overcooked. Can't comment on the sushi as I haven't tried it, but probably wouldn't get the katsu again.

Love it how the Sushi Chefs greet you upon entering - makes me smile every time! Everything I have had here has been yummy. Service is always quick. The surroundings aren't fancy but the food is always good.

I'm a sushi and bento girl ... BF is teriyaki & tempura guy - both of us are always satisfied at Koibito! We always leave stuffed and always leave happy.

4 star unless / until they redo the bathroom to be a little nicer, then they get the 5

Enjoyable Asian restaurant I found while crossing thru Olympia. Quaint little joint offering up sushi & Japanese food. Menu was excellent with plenty food choices to enjoy. The sushi selection was plentiful and had many options for rolls. I ordered a Tempura shrimp roll with salmon row outside and nice sized tempura prawn stuffed inside. Also ordered chicken teriyaki which came with rice and salad. I was surprised by large quantity of chicken served, so much I didn't finish. My meal could have feed two people so make sure your hungry.

Other menu items were UDON Noodle soup, beef teriyaki
