Tucked away in Grants Pass, Koi Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro offers a thoughtfully curated menu that balances traditional Japanese favorites with pan-Asian creativity. The standout is their selection of signature sushi rolls, where flavor and presentation go hand in hand. The Grants Pass Roll, for instance, bursts with spicy tuna, avocado, and tempura shrimp, all topped with a rich unagi glaze that delivers both texture and boldness. The Dragon Roll—an artistic stack of eel, cucumber, and avocado—is both smoky and sweet, thanks to a perfectly caramelized teriyaki drizzle.
Beyond sushi, the Sashimi Deluxe impresses with fresh cuts of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and more, served over ice with a clean, oceanic finish. For those craving warmth, the Ramen Bowl is a comforting favorite, with its slow-cooked broth, soft-boiled egg, and tender chashu pork slices. Equally satisfying is the Katsu Curry, featuring crispy breaded pork cutlet laid over rice and bathed in a rich Japanese curry sauce.
Fans of fusion won’t want to miss the Thai Basil Chicken Stir-Fry, a fragrant mix of garlic, peppers, and fresh basil in a savory soy-based sauce. Another highlight is the Crispy Calamari, lightly battered and perfectly fried, with just enough kick from the side of spicy aioli. The Tempura Udon also deserves a mention, offering springy noodles in a light dashi broth accompanied by perfectly crisp vegetable and shrimp tempura.
Vegetarians are also well-catered to with dishes like the Vegetable Teriyaki Bento Box, which offers a balanced plate of stir-fried veggies, rice, salad, and a side of veggie gyoza. The menu’s attention to detail, from the pickled garnishes to the plating of even the simplest Miso Soup, reflects a kitchen that values both craft and comfort.
