Koko Sushi Bar, Inc.

In Short – Red stools line a long bar and cozy up to linen-topped tables at this lively, lounge-like sushi bar. Although when it opened the menu was comprised of both Japanese and Italian fare, the focus is now on fresh seafood with Asian preparations. Basic selections like maki, chirashi, bento boxes and egg-studded udon can be found. More creative rolls incorporate ingredients like lime juice, tomato salsa and chili oil.

Editor's Tips

Delivery:: Delivery hours are daily 11am-11pm with a $3 delivery charge and minimum order of $10.
Know Before You Go:: It's OK to take non-sushi eaters here because the restaurant serves non-fish dishes like grilled steak with asparagus and chicken teriyaki.
Save Money:: Bento boxes are the best deal at about $12. They come filled with California and spicy tuna maki, shrimp and vegetable tempura, cucumber salad, rice and miso soup---plus chicken, steak, salmon or steak teriyaki.

Sketchy Sketchy Sketchy!!!!!!

by Ringing

I can't put my finger on it but this place definatley seems "family owned". Owners are totally sketch, do not do business with them ESPECIALLY if you are a promoter looking for a spot to host a DJ night. Have fun turning down the volume every 5 minutes, oh and bringing all your own equipment. It's seriously not worth it, your better off inviting your friends to your place and jamming out in your living room.

Pros: food
Cons: mafioso owners

EXCEPTIONAL SUSHI

by CC3030

Just left Koko and had a great time. My date left a high score! Very impressed. Will we come back? Without a doubt. Already making plans for a weekend with friends. If you go there, try the Miami rolls and the white fin tuna. The sangria pitcher was refreshing and moved us to the patio. My lunch date ended up with me calling in to work and enjoying the afternoon with great company.

I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!

by Drea17

WELL I WENT TO A PARTY THERE..AND I HAD COME FROM ANOTHER CLUB AND THE MANAGER/OWNER...WHOEVER THAT OLD BALDING GUY WAS, TOLD US WE HAD TO TAKE OFF OUR WRISTBANDS. HE MADE A BIG DEAL SO I ENDED UP HAVING TO RIP IT OFF. THE FOOD WAS OKAY BUT THE DRINKS WERE HORRIBLE. I DONT EVEN THINK THE LADY AT THE BAR WAS A BARTENDER, SHE DIDNT KNOW HOW TO MIX DRINKS. SOME LITTLE KIDS WALKED INTO THE PARTY AND GOT DRINKS W/O A PROBLEM. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY WERE 17 BUT, I GUESS THE OWNER DIDNT CARE MUCH AS LONG AS HE WAS GETTING HIS MONEY. SO THE PLACE LOOKED LIKE BOO IN THEIR "VIP" ROOM. THERE WERE SHEET COVERS OVER SOME DIRTY OLD COUCHES, AND LIKE 3 ALMOST BROKEN BAMBOO CHAIRS. PLACE LOOKED HORRIBLE. NO TP IN THE BATHROOMS, NO LOCKS ON THE BATHROOM DOORS...ALL IN ALL A CRAPPY PLACE TO GO TO! LAZY SERVICE! DIRTY PLACE.

Pros: PARKING
Cons: OWNER

Charming atmosphere with great food at a reasonable price. We"ve tried a variety of things off the menu and have never beed disappointed. The staff is very friendly. They go out of ther way to make you feel welcome. We usually stop in on a Sunday night! The entertainment is GREAT! We really enjoy listening to Pete sing and play his guitar! I highly recommend you stop by and give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!
