We live in a place with access to fresh , good quality fish. We alsomake sushi at home...but we do not come even near what Koji does!!!! It is seriously the best Restaurant in town. It is a bit pricey, but worth every bite! More

Was in Santa Teresa in January and had an amazing meal at Koji. Fish was unbelievably fresh and the chef had interesting roll combinations. All set in a sweet little, beach setting. I was so disappointed when I visited in May and it was closed. Will be my first stop on my next trip to Santa Teresa! More

I've lived in the area for 8 years and Koji's is my favorite restaurant here. I usually drive once a week 45 minutes each way just to go there. If you love sushi then Koji's is by far the best in the area and possibly the best in Costa Rica... certainly the best I've had and I've tried a lot... More

I don't know why they located this place so far off the beaten path, but you need a reservation anyway. The best sushi I have had anywhere. More

We're from NYC and have the best sushi choices. Never did we taste such unique types of fresh fish and have fish described to us this way. This was our hotel owners from Otro Lado's favorite place and when Koji was ready to shut down for vacation for the month of May, everyone in the know in town rushed to... More

Having never had sushi before, this place is excellent at explaing/describing what each item is, how it's prepared, what you will get when you order it, etc. Loved the atmosphere of the place - right off the road in an open, airy setting with little while lights all around - very cool! Definitely worth the experience if you are new... More

This place was amazing. We went at 7pm but it was full and they couldn't fit us in until 9pm. So glad we waited. The outdoor dining area is stunning and the food so fresh. Loved the dishes that had a bit of crunch in for a contrast in flavour. If you eat out anywhere in Santa Teresa make sure... More
