This should really be a fine dining restaurant. Exceptional food and service. What more can I say? Lots, apparently. Every dish is carefully crafted, not just thrown together. There was a remote-controlled light buried in the ice to high light the sashimi, and the server showed us all the different combinations to the delight of everyone, especially my 6 year old grandson. We're very surprised when we were presented with deep fried ice cream. Delicious.Food is key, but for me, service is always the lock that makes the meal. All the servers waited on all the tables. There was never an empty plate on the table and if the food was ready the first available server brought it.That is what makes a first class restaurant, first class.I will always go back.

The older lady who works here is very kind, funny, and witty. The presentation, price, and potions of everything here was good. I would definitely come back. They have a large menu so tons of items to try each time. The sushi tacos here are unique from other restaurants. I would highly recommend the uni taco and the negi maguro. I thought the oyster Motoyaki was okay. It came with spinach and sliced onions, and cheese. I personally wouldn’t order it again. I generally like mine with mayo, cheese, lime, and cubed mushrooms and or cubed onions. The Beef Tenderloin & Foie Gras Aburi Oshi was okay, I could personally do without the foie gras as I’m not a fan. We ordered the assorted sashimi which was good, as well as the Kosho Aburi Roll

We love koshō sushi. The staff are very kind and attentive (they recognize and know regulars by name!), food - especially the salmon and saba aburi oshi tastes great, and they have gluten free items noted on their menu. My sister is celiac, and they are familiar with gf/celiac needs and have told us several times that Chef Frank can try to make the other items gf too! Ty so much Koshō team!Dietary restrictions: Familiar with celiac/gf needs. Gluten free items are noted on menus, they provide gf soy sauce unprompted, and offer to make other items gf if they can (and they know to check sneaky items like seemingly innocent ice cream).

Such a wonderful little Sushi restaurant. We went on a Sunday afternoon and tried a bunch of items from their Dim Sum style menu. We loved the fun plating and the food was excellent! Our lovely server Katherine made our first time here amazing! Even the chef came and asked how the food was. We will definitely be back!

Last man eating…In the area picking up something from a customer and options for a bite was dwindling down. Finally decided for a revisit to this place which I haven’t been to for years.Inside is one of those smaller cozy place; clean, typical and nothing too fancy. I was glad the server seated me on a bigger table instead one of those midget size ones. The server informed me they have a Tri-city special set menu for $35, quick glanced and I opted out on that. Here were the food I ordered;1. Miso soup (complimentary). Pretty basic but thank you, nice to have a hot soup to warm up to from the cold.2. Appetizer tempura. Pretty basic and as it should be.3. Oyster motoyaki. I was glad they were on the shell but didn’t know it’s their own version of it; cold, marinated with cold pan fried onions on top. The cold oysters didn’t really do it for me. Is it really that hard to find just the basic fresh oyster motoyaki baked with Japanese mayo anywhere? lol4. Foie gras nigiri. Okay this is one of those must order item from here. Loved how the way it is put together and seared. Rich, buttery and creamy that literally melts in your mouth. Very nice!5. Spider roll. A little bit too basic, could be more generous on the soft shell crab.6. Saba shio yaki. It was okay, pretty straightforward dish.7. Assorted sashimi. It was okay, the Akami could be a better cut.8. Chopped scallops, uni, amaebi nigiris. The chopped scallop was fresh, the uni was a generous amount, I like how the amaebi head was prepared so easier to eat.9. Albacore toro, Akami, chu toro. The albacore toro was a bit dry, the Akami was fresh, the chu toro just make it to the satisfactory level (as you can tell it lost some of its beautiful colour already).The restaurant is conveniently located on the corner of Lougheed Hwy and Shaughnessy Street in Port Coquitlam. There are plenty of free parkings in the plaza. Inside the restaurant offers a causal comfortable dining atmosphere.The food was okay, could be better in some departments, but overall satisfactory level.As for the service, the staffs here were very friendly and welcoming. And quite accommodating to me being the last person left munching away (sorry over stayed 10mins after closing)
Decent food but the dine in experience was completely ruined. The second we finished our food we were given the bill and handed the machine to pay. There was no one waiting for the table nor was the restaurant full. Will not be returning for that reason alone.

Went to Kosho with my hubby for Taste of the Tri Cities, everything was amazing. Kosho food is always a taste treat and beautifully presented; as always service is top notch. A definite must try!

Fresh sushi, very friendly service that twice I went to this restaurant, the chef who is also the owner of the restaurant took the time to chat with us as well as other customers. A hidden gem with creative and authentic Japanese dishes. Better yet, the dishes are not over priced. In my opinion, everyone should visit this restaurant at least once.

Every Feb-Mar, I always enjoy the special menu of Taste of Tri Cities event. KOSHO Japanese restaurant offer reasonable prices and a good menu selection. Exploring different restaurants and their unique offerings during such events can be a fantastic way to discover new culinary experiences and support local businesses. Taste of the Tri-Cities Menu $35 Miso soup - I found it a tad salty, but I enjoyed it. Seaweed salad - Very decent. California taco & truffle prawn tempura - The sushi taco was good, and the tempura was crispy and also very delicious. Oyster motoyaki & salmon oshi -The Salmon Oshi was decent. The Oyster Motoyaki was a bit far from my liking. I prefer a bit more creamy texture. Your choice of 1 main: Japanese chirashi 5pcs / Spicy chirashi / Nigiri sushi 5pcs / Sashimi 6pcs /Crispy chicken donburi / Unagi donburi / Yakisoba chicken of beef I picked Japanese Chirashi, and my partner chose Sashimi. The presentation of the Sashimi was fantastic. The Chirashi was decent." Ice cream - yuzu/black sesame/matcha We picked Matcha and Black Sesame ice cream. I prefer Black Sesame; its flavor was strong. The Matcha flavor was a bit subtle; however, it's okay. Overall, I highly recommend KOSHO restaurant, especially the Taste of Tri Cities deal; it's great. I will visit this restaurant to try a different menu next time.
