KOYA Penticton in Penticton

Very fresh, cool decor & atmosphere.

Come here regularly for dine in and take out! Very good and you cant go wrong with anything on the menu

The food is good the honey lemon ginger good The ice coffee is not worth it Don t waste your time and money for it. Service : 4/5

Staff is always so kind and helpful good price and great quality. The garlic beef roll is my favourite!

Yummmy!!!

greedy people run this restaurant. buyer beware and check your receipts every time

If i could give 0 stars i would.

A small, casual, cafe style restaurant. It was crowded with many walk-in customers because the Ironman event. There were about 15-20 people in line at the cashier. It was clearly over capacity, but all the staff worked very hard. The waiting time was longer than usual. Some people write bad reviews for a moment on irregular busy days such as Ironman event and the Peach Festival, but I would like to convey to all the staff there are many customers who always support KOYA in the local area and love KOYA s food. Specially, I like their food gluten free chicken karaage homemade gluten free Sesame dip ,Teriyaki sauce, Spicy mayo. Thank you for your hard work. Vegetarian options: Vegan Shiitake Tofu burrito is my favorite burrito. Specially, I like their homemade vegan sesame dip.

Try the burritos 10/10 Staff were excellent and it was a very nice, modern setting with perfect food. Will be back again for sure Food

Best sushi burrito I have ever had. The ingredients are so fresh and the prices were fair.

Lovely, kind service. After trying their vegan sushi burrito, I thought about it incessantly for a whole week until I finally caved and bought it again. Obsession-worthy.

Maybe its that I didnt speak Japanese but I ordered a roll California which wasnt that bad. BUT, Second dish wasnt what I ordered and paid alot for. VERY disappointed. It was chicken teriyaki with rice. Came like a lettuce oddly flavored chicken dish with a small helping of rice. For tipped too much. And threw put the chicken dish. Cant worth the money going to this place. SORRY. BUT HONESTLY.

Theyre close to the beach, about a block from the famous giant peach. Specialty drinks include iced coffee, iced hot chocolate and a cooler of alcoholic/non-al options from Sapporo to local ciders, sparkling waters and more. No A/C but fans give a decent if sporadic breeze. I hear the ramen is awesome. I found their sushi wraps, speciality drinks and chicken teriyaki bowl mid. A cold Sapporo on the beach was definitely okay.

Food is amazing and staff is so welcoming. They are a bustling little business but you never feel rushed. Their homemade sauces are all amazing.

The food is so authentic, delicious and fantastic!!! The staff and customer service are so amazing and so very friendly. I highly recommend the sushi burritos and the red spicy chicken ramen.

This was the second time I ve eaten the Japanese food from Koya. and I regret it even more than the first time. Months ago we ordered take-out. The sushi burrito actually had some grains of sand in it. I couldn t finish it when I discovered that. I went to complain and they were incredibly indifferent. I reluctantly went again today and boy was I wrong to give it a second try. I had the teriyaki chicken bowl. The chicken was overcooked and stringy. I lived in Japan for 5 years and that WAS NOT teriyaki. It had NO flavour and I think it came from a bottle of something bland to begin with and was way passed its expiry. The rice was ok. The salmon salad was a ripoff. It was almost entirely greens and some veg. The salmon was five or six thin strips about 2cm long, which were almost entirely made of the burnt skin of the salmon covering 2-3mm thick pieces of salmon. Go anywhere else.

Always good here. Comparable to Kojo. Fresh.

My first try of sushi in the Okanagan. Lovely people, great service, nice clean restaurant, food was well presented but sushi rice was very dry and flavorless, as was the sushi in general. Chicken karaage was yummy.

Love this place! It has lots of gluten free options :). I go here often and get the chicken karaage.

A real gem in Penticton. Great relaxed vibe, and the food is always amazing.

My husband and I love KOYA. We definitely order once or twice a week from here. Weve travelled in Japan a lot and miss Japanese food all the time so were happy KOYA is in our community. Always authentic and delicious. Best karaage in town. The owners and staff are also so lovely and welcoming!

I absolutely love Koya! The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly :) It is my go to place for Ramen.

The Food was delicious! This is the best Japanese restaurant in Canada! Fully recommended!

Best Hot Ramen in town

First timers at Koya, and definitely will be going back. We had the Tokyo Poke Bowl, and one of the best meals Ive had dining out. You sit, read the menu, and then go up to the counter to place your order. The food is then brought to your table.

Excellent quality as always!

I was in Penticton for a few hours, and right near this fabulous place. The food is spectacular, really good, meets the quality, flavor and price requirements that anyone would love one day I will return without hesitation

This place is my favourite. The ramen is amazing and very authentic.

only gotten their sushi burritos and seaweed salad so far but have not been disappointed yet.

First time eating here. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The best....the best SUSHI I have ever had. Check them out! Service was quick, as mentioned everything was cooked/fresh made to order. The actual restaurant is kinda small and crowded (cause they are such a hit) they deserve a bigger spot. Loved every single bit... and im veyr picky. Thanks KOYA

Fantastic ramen. Tokoyo Spice poke bowl was even better, will be coming back again soon.

So good! The staff are wonderful, and the sushi burritos are life changingly good.

Delicious. Nice people, great food. Absolutely love the california rolls

FRIENDLY STAFF and exceptionally clean little place. Fresh food served with a kidly smile. Try their wraps!!

Amazing Ramen, It could be the best one Ive tasted so far.

Sushi burrito is wild, I liked it. Great sushi! Great people.

Great menu!

Great service and very friendly staff. Great location and layout. Decent prices.

Ramen broth was so GOOD! Best ramen noodles I have ever tried! Will be back on my next visit!

Everything about this place is just great service food ambient everything Vegetarian options: Delicious

So kind and friendly! Food is delicious and the service it top knotch . Definitely coming back!

We ordered delicious poké bowls! Our hostess was very hospitable and accommating even though we showed up 5 minutes before they closed.

Great food and friendly staff. One star off because one person in our three person party had to wait ten minutes for their food after the other two were served. They were not busy.

Koya Penticton is an excellent Japanese restaurant that prides itself on using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients in their dishes. This commitment to freshness is evident in everything they serve, from the sushi to the poke bowls to the sushi burritos and beyond. One of the standout dishes at Koya Penticton is their koya burrito. Made with fresh ingredients like salmon, tuna, cucumber and prawn tempura the sushi burrito is healthy and satisfying. The Tokyo spicy poke is another great option, with tender pieces of tuna and salmon tossed in a spicy sauce and served over rice. If youre in the mood for sushi, the sushi tray at Koya Penticton is a must-try. The fish is always fresh and expertly prepared, and the selection of rolls and sushi burritos is extensive and varied. The beef yakiniku bowl is another standout dish, with tender slices of beef and vegetables served over rice with a flavourful sauce. In addition to the high quality of the food, the service at Koya Penticton is also excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive, and always happy to make recommendations or answer any questions you may have. Overall, I highly recommend Koya Penticton for anyone looking for fresh and delicious Japanese cuisine. Whether youre in the mood for sushi, poke, sushi burritos, youre sure to find something you love at this excellent, family owned restaurant. Saludos! Javier Maciel

This is the absolute BEST place to eat in Penticton. Ami and her husband are amazing business owners and kind people. Great staff, delicious, excellent quality food. Can t say enough good things about Koya!

Tasty food and fast delivery

If youre looking for amazing sushi in Penticton, look no further than KOYA Sushi! I recently tried their chicken teriyaki and it was out of this world. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the teriyaki sauce was so flavorful. My wife had the poke bowl and she loved it too! The fresh ingredients and perfect seasoning made it a delicious and healthy option. The new owners are also very nice and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. We cant wait to come back and try more dishes!

Sushi burrito was amazing!!! The spicy ramen was also fantastic. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable of their products. They even let our dog hang out with us on the patio. Great place.

I got a spicy tuna roll as take out, and since I paid $9 I was pretty disappointed. You could see the nori through the rice, and the rolls were very small. Normally I have nothing but good things to say so I was surprised.

Food was delicious, was a self service type of meal until they brought the food to us, was very nice! Casual and yummy!

Great tasting chicken ramen, but the self serve was not ideal and the food came out slow. We had to clear and wipe down our own table.

Koya: Exceptional food, warm ambiance, fair prices

Amazing poke bowls. Tokyo bowl was delicious. Great value and great quality considering its location also. Wish we were here longer to try more. The ramen looks delicious.

Absolutely loved our dinner. I got a salmon poke bowl, so much flavour and very generous portion of fish. My partner got the spicy red Raman bowl and said the pieces of chicken were very high quality and that the sauce was very tasty. We split an avocado/salmon roll, a seaweed salad and yam tempura appetizer, all were very fresh and had a lot of flavour. Will definitely go back!

Food was totemo oish !!! Catered for a large group of about 20 people and everyone loved it, especially the sushi burritos. Quality ingredients made by Japanese chefs. Keep up the great work Emiko and Team Koya. Highly recommended.

Ordered a giant platter of sushi, and all of it was delicious. The rice smoothies are also amazing. Highly recommend this place if youre craving Japanese food.

Amazing Spicy Red Ramen!

A must for those visiting Penticton! The service was friendly and quick. The food was delicious! Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options!

We absolutely loved our lunch at Koya! The gluten free options were numerous and the staff was very knowledgeable! The food did not disappoint! Highly recommend!

Our second vacation with Koya. Their ramen kept us warm during last storm:) Thank you for good food and service. Wish you all the best.

We had karaage chicken burrito, garlic beef rice, and salmon skin salad. Everything was terrific! Definitely will be coming back.

Good ramen. Nice restaurant in Penticton. Would recommend

Small potion foods, expensive in Penticton.

The sushi burritos are next level. Went back the next day for more. Highly recommend this place.

You really need to go in and try a sushi burrito!

Ordered with skip the restaurant doesnt answer the phone. Service is Terrible. NOT RECOMMENDED 45 mins later NO food still shows preparing and another 30 mins until possible delivery. Unlikely the meal will even show up

I have ordered teriyaki chicken rice and poke and ramen but only ramen was good.

Stopped in at a whim and we were not disappointed! They have the freshest sushi made with fresh ingredients, with innovative menu offerings. Try the sushi burrito! They have only been open a few weeks, but I hope they will be around for a long time! Definitely go again! Update: Went again and they were even better! We go every time we are in town!

So fresh, and quick. Good price for the quality. I had the red spicy chicken Ramen and was just perfect for heat. Cant wait to try other items. I was watching them prep food briefly while picking up my order and everything looked so good!

This is one of our all time favorite places to eat! Best sushi now by far in this small town. My child loves the sushi burritos. Such a friendly environment. Staff are incredible human beings

Love this place!! Its a charming family-owned restaurant that never disappoints. What keeps me coming back is their consistently excellent customer service and the freshness of their food. Having lived in Japan for eight years, I often find myself looking for authentic Japanese cuisine, and this place truly hits the mark every time I visit Penticton!!

Great service

Loveee sushi and ramen from KOYA

They are so yummy especially the karage chicken mmmm

Great environment and amazing Ramen soup!!

They are able to accomidate celiac / Gluten free. They have a seperate gluten free fryer and gluten free chicken Karaage! The wrap they made me was amazing and so was the service. Im not sure what was used for the gluten free wrap but I was pleasantly surprised how good it was! We are from out of town but anytime we go through penticton I will make a point to stop here. Everything was impeccable! Their menu clearly displays gluten free items. Ordering was breeze Thank you again! <3 Dietary restrictions: They are able to accomidate celiac / Gluten free.

Great service. amazing food! The chicken karaage is the best!

Seriously amazing food. Best sushi in town!

Excellent food, love the Tokyo spicy poke bowl! Will be back again and again!

Love their take-out and the convenience of their online ordering system

Good food! The sushi was great, we had a party tray gobbled up, teriyaki chicken and rice amazing. Beef ramen was decent but too salty. Great staff, very friendly and welcoming.

Amazing food! Such a great idea. Definitely will be coming back!!

I had the vegan ramen. It was a great size for the price. The broth was flavorful and delish! Could have had a few extra pieces of tofu. But was so so good! The place got busy!!!

We were walking towards a local brewery/pizza restaurant which we knew wed have to wait for a table and then stumble across this absolute gem. Had a few dishes - sushi, poke , and teriyaki chicken. All were good sized portions, presentation and overall great taste. Will definitely be back next time in Penticton!

This place is really good. Super friendly staff. Amazing food. The sushi burritos are the most delicious food I have ever had

One of the best Japanese dining experiences Ive had! Vegan ramen (had mine custom made non-vegan with chicken) was delicious! Creamy and smooth with wonderfully balanced flavours. The staff was super nice and friendly and they went out of their way to draw us into the real Japanese dining culture. A great vacation experience - thanks!

My son absolutely loves the smoothies!! Healthy and tasty

Staff were friendly, and the food was priced fairly. It was amazing.

Absolutely phenomenal! Haven t had a bad meal whilst travelling around BC, but Koya was next level - and by far the best.

Hands down, one of the best sushi places Ive ever been. As someone whos pretty picky with sushi. I was surprised how good the burritos were, the rice was nicely seasoned.

The restaurant is located right near Okanogan lake! There is street parking (metered) outside the restaurant. There is patio and inside seating. The restaurant is busy with dine in, take out, and delivery food services like Skip the Dishes. True to Japanese fare, they greet you when you arrive in Japanese. I ordered their famous red spicy karage ramen and some rolls. (Pictured with not all the broth poured) broth was nice and thick and fatty. The rolls were decent. The ramen was too salty. Quite quite salty. It could *almost* be a dipping sauce for noodles. Im not sure why it was off balanced like that. The chicken karage was good.. I would come back to try their sushi burrito and update my review at that time..

Very clean only issue was meal.didnt arrive with other guests food...

Great food and great customer service. We had a small error in our order and they went above and beyond to fix it. The beef ramen is to die for. We will be back!!

This place is doing it right! Their salmon and avocado sushi burrito is the bomb! Fresh and amazing flavour. Lots of gluten free options. Worth checking out!

Polite staff. Fresh foods. Relaxing atmosphere. Friday night summer meal. We are locals and will be back.

Delicious - spicy tuna roll was the winner, great service, great vibe. Small selection, but good food!

Sushi burrito is delicious!

The food IS fusion. The crispy chicken burito is amaaaaaazing.

Amazing food, super fresh and great value!

The salmon poke bowl is so fresh and delicious, as is everything on the menu. We live down the road from Koya and love going there for the food and the friendly & wonderful staff !

Sushi burritos are awesome!!

So good! We definitely will be back!!

Great fresh food and wonderful staff. Very friendly and accommodating.

Quick and friendly service. A bit salty for my taste in the ramen but overall a pleasant experience

Amazing staff and great chef, relaxing ambiance. The sushi burrito is a unique concept , must try . I loved the vegan shitatke tofu mushroom one. They are willing to serve ramen with rice noodles if you wish. Good vegetarian, vegan And gluten free options.

Everyone working was super friendly and enthusiastic, the food was made quickly, and it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely go back, great experience.

I really loved the foods here. My family tried sushi burrito, rice bowl, ramen and poke. All of them were amazing. Also the restaurant is at a great location near by a beach. Every menu was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Great service and great food. The ramen is flavorful and fulfilling. The people are sweet and welcoming. A place worthy of trying for yourself.

Excellent poke bowl I had the spicy tuna to go. The packaging, portion, quality and service all match what I expect from a Japanese sushi experience. Arigato!

Deeeeeeecent as heck! Best sushi I ve had in a while. Live on the wild side and try the spicy tuna burrito!

I had the tuna poke bowl and spicy ramen and both were insanely delicious! I can t wait to come back the next time I m in town.

Im crazy about their spicy tuna sushi burrito!

Everything was super good and the welcome was very, very good We went back

Gr8 food. Very cozy. Lovely staff. Vegetarian options: Gr8 spicey veggie raman.

Great find, and so close to where we are staying. Excellent food and service, High quality eats!

Spicy red ramen was so yum and service was nice !

Best ramen of town! Really recommended! Vegetarian options: They have an special veggie ramen and other veggie options in the menu

Awesome sushi, loved the burritos, ordered way more than we needed because the serving sizes were quite generous. Will definitely try eating in next time as it is just off the lake and the restaurant looked great inside.

Had the spicy poke bowl. Large portion, great ratios, food came out quickly. Plus, it was absolutely delicious! Vegetarian options: A few vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. Wheelchair accessibility: Tables with moving chairs, ground level front door

New kojo sushi location close to downtown! Fast, fresh and friendly lunch service in a cute little cafe by the beach. Burritos are really good and served in less then 5 minutes. Good amount of indoor/outdoor seating.

Yup! As good as i expected. Quick service and amazing quality. Never a disappointment. The new Burritos are a very cool addition to the menu. Highly recommended. New Beef ramen was very good !

So great to have THIS version of KOJO at our end of town! Had the Red Ramen today and its just the way I remember and was missing!! The staff are super friendly and the food is so great!

The burritos are gluten free as is. They also offered to wrap it in nori if you have a soy allergy. Fantastic vegan options! Absolutely delicious! Amazing service! Highly recommended!

Wow delicious! Fresh crunchy rolls and the miso is amazing and comes in a nice large b owl

Soo yummy as always, and of course the staff are fantastic here too. I think sushi burritos are my new favourite thing with lots of vegan options too.

Their rolls are great tasting and fair priced given the location (the other Japanese restaurants are further down Main St). Their ramen was also delightful and while sushi burrito is an odd concept, it won me over. I d suggest a slightly bigger signage but it may ruin your vibes. Best of luck with your continued success!

Amazing Ramen! Super delicious. Lots of veggie options. Our kids also loved their food!

Awesome food, amazing service - love the sushi burritos and the fun environment!

Simply delicious with quality ingredients. You definitely get more value than you pay for. I had their sushi burritos and will be back again today for more!

Great food, great service! Excellent addition to downtown Penticton

Sushi burritos are awesome, they come with two tasty dips. Highly recommend the chicken kaarage.

Fresh and delicious!

Phenomenal ramen!

The entire menu is amazing, lovely staff and a great looking restaurant.

As a celiac person, the teriyaki sushi burrito was the absolute best thing I ve ever put in my mouth. Wonderful service, accompanied by great flavours was beautiful. Will be back again.
