Where Caribbean Vibes Meet Japanese Craft
Placencia Village just added a brand-new flavor to its vibrant dining scene — and sushi lovers couldn’t be happier.
Introducing Koi Sushi Bar, the newest restaurant making waves in southern Belize. Located right in the heart of Placencia Village, Koi brings a sophisticated, beach-casual vibe with an exciting fusion of Japanese tradition and Belizean freshness.
Locally Caught, Artistically Rolled
At Koi Sushi Bar, every roll tells a story of Belize’s sea and land. Using locally caught snapper, shrimp, and lobster, Koi’s chefs create colorful sushi plates that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
Here are a few early favorites already earning raves:
Placencia Roll – fresh snapper, mango, avocado, and a hint of habanero cream.
Lionfish Roll – a sustainable Belizean twist on sushi, highlighting local conservation efforts.
Spicy Tuna Crunch – with crisp tempura bits and house-made aioli.
Veggie Garden Roll – fresh, local produce with gluten-free soy options.
Sashimi Sampler – an elegant showcase of Belize’s freshest catches.
Pair your meal with a craft cocktail, sake flight, or a glass of chilled white wine — and enjoy it all with the sound of the Caribbean just steps away.
An Elevated Yet Easygoing Dining Experience
Koi Sushi Bar blends modern Japanese design with Placencia’s easygoing charm. The open-air setting, wooden accents, and ambient lighting make it perfect for:
A romantic sushi dinner
A post-beach sunset meal
A lively evening with friends and sake
Weekend nights often feature chill music, locals mingling with travelers, and the warm, welcoming service Placencia is known for.
