About
Tucked along a Somis road, Somis Koi occupies a property far larger than what passing drivers might expect. Step inside and you'll find sprawling outdoor areas filled with Japanese koi swimming in well-maintained ponds, alongside garden fountains, statues, pottery, and water plants. This Ventura County destination has built a loyal following among koi keepers who come for the fish and often leave with much more.
The koi selection is the main draw, and reviewers consistently praise both the quality and pricing of the Japanese koi. One customer called it the only source for good koi in both Ventura and LA counties, and another noted they'd visited twice to take home four beautiful specimens. The fish are complemented by a wide variety of pond and water garden supplies, making it a genuine one-stop resource for anyone maintaining a backyard pond.
But Somis Koi is more than a retail operation — they're deeply involved in pond services. They install filter and UV systems, perform pump repairs, and take on full pond rebuilds. One longtime customer shared that after a leak repair developed an issue, the team returned twice and partially tore down and rebuilt the work at no additional cost.
Another described how they handled a UV system warranty claim with the manufacturer, getting the problem resolved quickly. That kind of hands-on, follow-through service has earned them real trust among pond owners in the area. The property doubles as a garden décor destination, with large selections of pottery, garden statues, and fountains spread across the grounds.
Not everything is price-tagged, so you'll want to ask the owner directly if something catches your eye. Service experiences are mixed — most reviewers describe friendly, helpful staff, though at least one visitor found the interaction less welcoming. Overall, Somis Koi remains a go-to for koi enthusiasts and pond owners across Ventura County who want quality fish, reliable pond work, and fair pricing in one place.

Customer reviews
“Best selection of koi fish i’ve seen in California and majority of the country. Been as far as Florida, New Jersey, and Ohio and they don’t compare. Added some pottery and water plants as well to my total. Quality koi for great competitive prices even amidst the economy.”
— Joaquin Cárdenas5.05 days ago“The guy who manages the place is very helpful and knowledgeable about everything. So many cool, interesting, wild, and colorful items they have in stock. The prices are good”
— Jeffrey Cohen5.0a month ago“This place is fun to just browse with all of the different stuff they have and the big koi ponds with the huge variety of koi they have. If they don't have what you want for your garden or koi pond they can probably order it. Also, friendly cat.”
— CT Davis5.0a month ago“I have been working closely with this company for over 15 years. From high quality imported fish form Japan, building of whole ponds and filter design, meds and food. They knowledgeable, helpful, dependable and reasonably priced. They have a long standing staff which speaks to the character of the ownership and they are by far, the most experienced in all aspects of pond design, construction, fish expertise, pond maintenance and the doctoring of fish. Don't be fooled by pool companies that tell you they are pond experts. These folks are the best at what they do.”
