Koi Japanese Cuisine
600 CA-1 #100, Seal Beach, CA 90740, United States
An orange county staple for traditional style sushi for over two decades. The prices are not cheap, but when youre getting some of the best bluefin or yellow tail in southern California youll know why it was expensive. The daily consistency of this place is incredible, and over the course of the past 20+ years Im hard pressed to remember ever being served a substandard cut of fish. The sushi bar here is incredible and the chefs are all exceptionally talented. I believe that ordering a chefs choice sashimi dinner speaks volumes about a restaurants quality and this is my absolute favorite here. Some other highlights to the menu include the fresh live scallops (when in season), the Seal Beach roll, maguro, and one of my personal favorites, sweet shrimp. In addition to sushi and sashimi they serve a broad variety of fully cooked appetizers and traditional Japanese cuisine including tempura, calamari, kobe beef skewers, teriyaki, and sukiyaki. The sushi bar is always busy, but there is normal table seating here too. Come in, have a sake, and enjoy some of the best fish in Socal.

If you have food allergies, stay away. I notified the server of my food allergies, and the chef first gave me a plate full of shrimp (one of my allergies) then tried to give me a plate of steak that had a lump of butter on it and soy sauce (dairy and gluten). Had I not noticed, I could have had an allergic reaction, which for me means a trip to the hospital, not mere tummy pains, mind you. Then I had to wait for another steak that came out rare when I had ordered medium-rare, but ate it because I was sick of waiting, but the cherry on top was that they not only charged for the first meal but the second steak as well. I should mention I did not get any vegetables with either of my orders. Just steak. When my friend tried to explain it to the server, the server said it was too much to take off one of the steaks, took his card and walked away. Didnt even give my friend a chance to speak after. It was extremely loud in there too so he had to raise his voice which probably put off the server, but thats no excuse for that behavior. He then brings the card back and says the first meal was taken off and then apologized, but I know damn well he wasnt sorry. Ive worked in the restaurant industry for 20 years and Ill tell you right now that he didnt care one bit about the mistake. One that could have put me in the hospital had I not been paying attention. A few more little things; how does a Japanese restaurant not have brown rice for people with allergies to white rice? My hole-in-the-wall place place down the street has brown rice but this big fancy restaurant doesnt? Didnt appreciate the fan blowing on me on max level the whole time, good thing I brought a jacket. Not one good thing to say about this experience. Made my friends birthday feel awkward to say the least.

Ayres Hotel Seal Beach
12850 Seal Beach Blvd, Seal Beach, CA 90740, United States
Quaint moderately sized hotel with an old school elegant & colonial feel. Check in was seamless and their texting option was great. Our early check in was easily accommodated. Affordable stay for a holiday week plus a grand breakfast spread with cooking right before your eyes...more on this later. We stayed in a double Queen room (on 3rd floor) that we were surprised was so big...the high ceilings surely helped. The beds were so comfortable, perfectly firm & soft, no sinking in and my legs didnt fall off the bed. Im not freakishly tall (59) but most beds in affordable hotels in Cali are too short for me. The light switch was interesting because you had to slide your room key into it for it to work... this proved better as we didnt misplace our room key! It was well lit with two large ceiling lamps, 3 smaller lamps on each night stand (3) and the desk. The night stands and dresser had a beautiful dark cherry wood finish that appeared to be continuously glassy. Flat screen TV on top of the dresser with a remote that fully functioned.There was a few pictures throughout the bedroom that were nice landscape paintings that perfectly complimented the white painted walls and dark cherry decor.The bathroom and kitchen that were across from each other, let me be clear the counters were across from each other. On the kitchenette counter there was a single cup coffee maker fully stocked with coffee, creamer, sugar, and a few packages of tea. There was also a microwave, and a small refrigerator. On the bottom shelf of that counter was a black bag and in the black bag was a fully functioning full size hair dryer.The bathroom sink was right across from the ferry I just described above... it had its own light switch that lit up the mirror in front of the sink, Along came a box of Kleenex, an extra roll of toilet paper, trial sized shampoo, conditioner and a few trial sized bars of soap (body & hand soap), along with 2 plastic cups and ample hand towels.The diagonally positioned door was the bathroom itself, complete with a toilet (obviously- LOL) another roll of toilet paper, and a full-sized bathtub and shower combination. Initially, I question the diagonally positioned but realize once I opened it that this was the best thing about the bathroom area because it was perfectly sized not too small and not too big.The breakfast spread here was great. You walk in and to the left you have a variety of beverages to choose from and International Delight creamers!!There is also a little refrigerated bin with multiple yogurt to choose from, fresh fruit nearby, an individual making fresh eggs, pancakes, french toast, bacon, hash browns, and Florentine eggs... To perfection I might add. As you proceed down the counter area youll find an array of condiments from salsa to catch up to maple syrup and sugar-free syrup. Further down youll find lots of morning pastries and once you get to the other counter space youll find four different cereal choices, whole milk or 2% milk, hot chocolate mix, oatmeal mix, and plastic ware or silverware.Definitely will be coming back sometime soon and will continue to recommend. Honestly, I was concerned as it was immediately off of the freeway wasnt sure if the sound would travel however there was some pretty good insulation as we were not disturbed by anything... including neighbors.Less than 5 minutes away from us and one direction are an array of stores, 10 minutes in the other direction is the beach. The beach is equally quaint, not as crowded as the more popular beaches and has a small playground. Parking is also a lot more affordable.

There are much better Japanese restaurants out there. Do yourself a favor and go some where else. Salmon collar was OK. Thats about the only decent dish we had. The First Kiss roll was soaked in sauce. Nigiri pieces from the Tai-Toku special were just sad looking. The rice was falling apart. The softshell crab could be prepared in much better ways. Do not recommend.
