Koishii Japanese And Noodle - Plymouth

Fantastic and authentic Japanese food for an unbelievably reasonable price. Could not recommend the food more, whether for eating in or takeaway

We visited in November 2022 for a dine in meal. Having pre booked a table we arrived and received a friendly greeting, shown to a nice table by the window. Table was semi traditional, quite low and bench style seating. Menus were brought over and we had a peruse through the vast choices. The drinks menu was also extensive and inexpensive, with a small glass of red wine starting from £3.95. We opted for Japanese Plum wine at £6.95 a glass small but potent! Our server returned and took our order. Had to check with the kitchen a couple of times when we had questions about the food. Complimentary miso soup was brought over which was delicious. We then waited around 15 minutes and 2 portions of gyozas were brought out. However, we had only ordered 1 portion to share but the server had thought we wanted 5 portions of gyozas (5 per portion) we would have ended up with 25 gyozas! We sent the extras back... Then another 15 minutes passed and my partner 's sushi roll was brought out. Well constructed and delicious I 'm told. But I had ordered a katsu curry, and this took a further 20 minutes to arrive. We asked for a tap water and this was taken to another table Whilst delicious food, the lack of organisation and the meals all coming out with significant delays rather than together was detrimental to the evening. We received an apology as we paid for 'how hectic ' it had been, but there were no more than 5 tables dining (less than a quarter full) so I don 't know how they would cope if they were really busy! To sum up 5 star food but unfortunately a 3 star experience

The food and service was excellent! It was very friendly and efficient. I would certainly go back. The bowl of miso soup provided whilst waiting for the meal was a welcome surprise on a cold day. I ordered chicken katsu and was really pleased with it well cooked with good quality and quantity. The menu was interesting with a good range of options. So why not 5 stars? The bikes parked in the restaurant is something I've never encountered before and did nothing to contribute to a pleasant atmosphere. And then, going past the bikes, the toilets were down a dingy, poorly lit staircase before reaching a shoddy room. Sorry, this was poor. But, to repeat, the food and service was good enough for me to happily eat here again.

Myself and my partner ordered takeaway here and came to collect it. It was not ready yet so we ordered some ice tea whilst we waited. Within 10 minutes the food was ready and when it came to settle up for the drink they said it was free due to us having to wait a little bit. This was very kind. The spring sushi set was delicious and we will definitely return!

Literally my favourite sushi place in Plymouth!! The menu is amazing, and the service staff are always super friendly. The interior is simple but clean cosy. Food is always delicious I cannot fault any food I have had there. The portions are great for the price. Please be advised that I have only ever eaten inside the restaurant I have never had takeaway. I cannot recommend this place enough it is SO underrated! :
