Andrew’s Koi International

Great service! Today we bought some koi fish and the prices were very reasonable. It took us a very long time and they were friendly about it. Even though we took a lot of time, they suggested different designs of fish (same prices) it took us at least an hour and they still helped decide what kind of fish to pick out of there huge variety. I was very surprised with how friendly they were and would come again.

Great service!!! Had a few things break on my pond system and my UV system and they had everything I needed and on a holiday too! There fish selection was great too. I’ll be back !

Very nice and helpful people. Purchased a barrel filter drum they custom made, 3 Koi and water plants. They have tons of fish to choose from. Best Koi fish selection around in SOCAL…

Highly recommended — Great selection of fish! The owner is extremely patient in answering any questions we have regarding our koi and pond maintenance. GPS directions are a bit off, just know that you are looking for a gravel parking lot near the electrical towers.

Loved this place. Nice people and nice koi fishes. They have different size of fishes. I recommend this place.

This place has very clean and healthy fish. Plenty of lettuce and hyacinth if you need. Good customer service. Their koi look good, but aren’t aesthetically the best. On the other hand, they take really great care of their stock. I couldn’t find a trace of disease or parasites on any of the fish. Perfect health

I like this place. Huge selection of koi fish, all sizes, all varieties and all price ranges. Staff is very friendly and helpful as well.

This place is great. They have inexpensive high quality koi. Employees really care about their kois as well as their customers. They were helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Will definitely be back to buy some more koi

Went here on a whim for Black Friday… I came at the right time, owner went to Japan for buying trip so of course they had deals to make room for their new shipment… picked up very nice koi!

Great place for Japanese koi and pond supplies in Orange County. They are located in Anaheim, not far from Disneyland. We purchased over 60 koi from this koi shop. They carry quality japanese koi at reasonable prices. I highly recommend them; moreover, Andy has some awesome videos on youtube that do a great job educating the novice.

Love this place great selection of Koi and the prices are good unlike fish stores that don’t list there prices

Great place for japanese koi and pond supplies. I buy all my koi here and send all my youtube followers here when they ask where I purchased the koi. They are located in Orange County not far from Disneyland.

I’ve been going here for over 12 years. I get all my supplies here. From basic food to medicine. They always take time to answer all my questions also. They are the best!!!

Ok I need to explain my rating here folks. I am not trying to ruffle feathers here as I love this store. I have shopped here for close to 17 years so that also makes a loyal customer. What sucks is that last month I drove past the shop and there is no more shop. Yes you read that right. Brookhurst street in that area expanded and the property where Andrews Koi is literally now part of the expanded street and so are the houses that were next to Andrews. Anybody know if this place relocated?
addendum: I changed the review from 1 star to 5 stars as I emailed them and the store is open and moved over but the sign is not up. I go and get my pond supplies for a year and I have not been in the area for that long

Very large supply of koi of different sizes and prices. The staff were very courteous and professional and answered all of my questions.

I think this place deserve more reviews than once every year from all the previous reviews. It is a very friendly place where you can buy the floating water plants that goes to a pond and koi, all sort and size and colors of KOi!
But advise is come around Feb to March time when spring starts because alot of the floating plants died during winter in the cold weather u less you have a heating pond. We were wanting to get lilies and lotus but they are all dead. So we got some other floating greens for $ 1 each instead. $ 1 !!
Then we come to pick out some kois. And yes there arent much selection at this time of the year for the smaller size. I think spring is when the breed bloom. But we still manage to get 5 for $ 25 for a smaller size koi as starter fish to start the pond. They have fishes that are in the thousands with many different size and body shape and colors. The staff there are very helpful and share their knowledge with us on how to keep a koi. Very patient and honest when we come to picking out the fish. They will tell you straight up of the fish seems unhealthy or missing a fin or just slightly off and unnoticeable from the inexperienced.
They even tell me that you can soaked up the fish food with yakult in the spring time to help the fish digest! That’s so cool! One thing the fish and I would have in common! Loving yakult! Now they are happy swimming and getting high from the bubbling (from the filter) and jumping up to the side of the pond. Weeee. :)

This place is pretty big. They do have a bigger selection then the other place though. They are a bit more organized. They fishes are organized by size and color. They are a bit more expensive then the other koi place off Goldenwest.
They have much much more bigger fishes though. The fish food is cheaper though. Good selection to buy Koi fishes

Great selection — they have thousands of koi in stock at reasonable prices. Customer service is laid back (good), the lady there is alway nice and helpful. She has never tried to unsell to me like the other place. They also stock water plants are very good prices (they are expensive at a nursery or Home Depot). Overall I keep coming back here as my first option to get supplies.

Did you know that the value of koi fish range from $ 30 to thousands?
ME NEITHER. Ho-​lee-​shizuoka.
Being that koi can live up to 30+ years if properly cared for, it really is an investment in a living, breathing work of art.
If you’ve never been to a koi breeder before, it’s worth the drive. You pass a good stretch of random ghetto establishments as you continue off the freeway exit. So if you pass a few strip clubs, titty bars, suspect massage parlors & liquor stores, you’re going the right way. Hey, a quality koi breeder doesn’t need to be in the best real estate, it just needs a lot of land to plop down massive tanks on, in which to place fish with a net worth value higher than a lot debt ridden human beings.
There are hundreds upon hundreds of koi in different sizes, breeds & of course, price range. We stayed here for a solid hour or two just admiring the striking quality of the fish. There are holding tanks upon holding tanks full of these guys. It’s a fun excursion and so much to choose from if you’re looking to add some beautiful therapy to your ponds.
The staff is nice, they just let you explore and will come to your aid if you have questions. These are not pet store quality fish. these come from legit breeders from Japan. The owner busted out this award that a breeder recently won for a group of fish in one of the tanks.
After my visit to Andrew’s, I have a new appreciation for these fish, their varying sizes, beautiful markings & color patterns. There is something extremely zen about watching the swirling colors and patterns like bright colored paintbrushes on a water canvas.
My favorite is the kumonryu (translates to «9 tattooed dragon» in Japanese). It changes colors/​patterns with the season. Wow, right? Who knew they were such complicated creatures?
The ones that are black & white sometimes have the markings reminiscent of a killer whale. I want a killer whale fish. How rad would it be to have a mini shamu swimming around in your backyard? I’d slam down some serious dough for my own shamu. Except I’d give it a much cooler name than shamu.
In conclusion, my first visit definitely won’t be my last. Especially when they get my killer whale in.
See you soon, Andrew!

i;ve been coming here for years and i must say i obviously love it… i’ve traveled as far as san bernardino & san diego just to check out kois & goldfish and have not been as impressed as i have at Andrews Koi. Not only do they have beautiful and healthy well maintained Koi’s but the owners and employees are very helpful and informative. To me one of the most important qualities i look for are how the employees treat me. Upon arrival i was greeted not by 1 but by 3 of the employees, nothing pushy or pitching me a sale, more like welcome to andrews koi take a look around and if you see something you like or have any questions feel free to ask me… kind of deal…2 stars right there! they have their own parking so its thats another plus, not a small lot or anything another star! i took a look at ALL the kois they sold and they were quality kois for sure. my husband is a big koi hobbyist and we have our own waterfall pond at home so i know a thing or two about kois and caring for them as well as picking the right ones and paying attention to fine detail and colors from head to tale. every year in may andrews koi also has a Koi Contest Event that my husband and I attend whenever we can. They provide free food like right on the spot grilled carne asada or chicken tacos, salads, sodas, fresh fruits etc… as well as judging contests and having professional guest speakers from Japan and everywhere come to the show and give some information about koi’s, maintaining the right pond for them, as well as other things.
i really enjoy this place, we take our kids here all the time and never once have i had the feeling that kids werent welcome because they might do some kind of damage. i see alot of loyal customers that have been coming here same amount of years as we have and even some more than we have been here… not only do you get quality fish but friendships have blossomed here…
again friendliness, helpfulness, the employees being very informative go a very long way with a happy customer!
