koiKOKORO: Reviews & Ratings
This is my FAVORITE take out restaurant in the Islip area. The sushi, bibimbap bowls, and crispy chicken buns are incredible. And the staff are so friendly!! Best of all, the service is so incredibly quick. Great lunch place!
This place is awesome. The sushi is great. I always get the spicy tuna. Love the fried egg salad too. The fried cheesecake is delicious. Definitely recommend.
Just went with my dad, we loved the food. Extremely good
I have been ordering thier beef ramen and eating thier sushi for many years. I highly recommend trying them out. Great service Love thier family runned business.

This is a pretty much take out only place there is two or so seats in the place but they have many cute decorations, it is the only reason for low atmosphere rating. Food is always out quickly and they are attentive to take out customers.
