Morena G. 24/04/2024

This restaurant is one of the best sushi places in Greensboro. We made reservations for dinner and staff was very courteous and helpful. i love the view at sunset while enjoying a nice meal w family and friends. i tried a different item from the sushi list but as expected it was exquisite. The ingredients are so fresh and the presentation of the dishes are amazing.

Aniya E. 07/04/2024

Dine in | Dinner | $20-30 An absolute hidden gem- how come l've never heard of this restaurant? The inside was beautiful; white cloth tables, cultural interior designs, etc. This spot is perfect for a date night. We enjoyed the lovely service and food. Would love to visit again. You are provided warm hands towels after eating and I thought that was a very thoughtful touch to the service. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Sushi Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Free parking lot Parking: We could not find parking on a Thursday night, so l could just imagine the weekend. This restaurant is located near other busy spots.

This modern and chic Japanese spot is great for a business dinner if you want to impress your client or for any occasion that you'd like to upscale a bit. This is a spot that my family often takes people who are visiting from out of town. The interior is sleek and well-maintained, and there is an air of class when you walk in. The staff there is always professional and prompt. I have never found them to be lacking. The food is fresh and delicious. While it is priced rather high, I have never been disappointed in any menu item, and I'm partial to their sushi. It is hidden above melt on new garden, and it's not a place you'd stumble on, so be on the lookout and visit them soon.

Chloe B. 02/04/2024

Imperial Koi has always been one of my favorite sushi spots in Greensboro! The ambiance, service, and food is really top tier for the area. You can rely on having a great meal and experience when you come for lunch or dinner. I've never had to wait and I'm always able to try something new. Love love love Imperial Koi! Definitely give it a try!

Dede C. 20/02/2024

Absolutely the best lunch and wonderful presentation of sushi. One of the sushi was "on fire" which was great. Had a nice quiet booth in the corner and we were able to chat and enjoy our lunch. The place wasn't very busy but it was a Monday so I'm sure that is part of the reason. I will definitely be back for a more intimate date night meal.

Ashly G. 11/02/2024

Still loving this place. Fish always fresh and worth the wait. Our server was great. We tried the February special "cloud 9" roll and really enjoyed it.

Please, kindly mention you found this place on TasteTrackr: Your Guide to Culinary Exploration! when you call.
