This review was for 12 months ago. The food was good! The cashier is sketchy... I hope the owner can investigate the person in charge of the cashier at the 2 pm shift, or have all the receipts print out for the customers to prevent this from happening. The pending amount in my bank reduced after I asked for the receipt:) The amount was slightly incorrect, so l asked for a receipt after a couple of minutes. They took more than 15 minutes to give me the receipt “after” my second follow-up. The receipt had the correct amount, so I went to check my bank again - the pending amount got corrected before I ever mentioned anything :) On another note, the server didn't know what she was doing - soup without a spoon, no napkin, dirty table (oh, the tip was asked for upfront, not after the meal! I regret paying the tip first), and when we asked for utensils, she gave us three when we only had two people. Overall, I'm glad I asked for the receipt!

A blight on the neighborhood. Police are called here all the time, they’re given warnings, they don’t care. Can’t figure it how to make their business successful so they hold illegal “club” events all the time. Update: they say they haven't been made aware of verified violations, but the LAPD has issued multiple warnings for noise and capacity violations.

Nice sitting area in the heated patio, good, friendly service but the food not more than mediocre. Overpriced student place. More funky than tasty.

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday. We had been here before back in November for a date, and it was such a different experience than this time. Last time, we had an amazing 10 piece nigiri plate (chef selected) followed by delicious ice cream. Come to find this time, they completely changed the menu!! They no longer serve nigiri. It was nothing like before. We ended up getting a large blue fin sashimi platter for $105, but it was just ok. Absolutely not worth the price. The chef didn't even properly cut up the fish as there were still chunks of tough raw skin still attached to the meat. And the slices were way too big. We had to order (and pay for) rice separately. I thought the ice cream would be our saving grace, but oh no. They changed that too. The mochi ice cream was just a sloppy mess of melting ice cream on top of thick slime. It was difficult to cut through the mochi with spoons. And the worst part is, they still charged us for it! They offered absolutely nothing complimentary for my girlfriends birthday. Just a small candle on top of the sad ice cream. Never coming back here again. This place went really downhill with their menu change.

nice refurbished fire station. has a charm to it. however, the experience was very lackluster to say the least. valet only, $13. host was friendly but the rest of the staff was pretty hands off and far from welcoming. menu is pretty limited and for the price point, don't think it is worth it. brussel sprouts were probably the most worth it menu item. got the chimichurri shrimp ... 3 shrimps in total and were nothing to write home about. the wagyu burger was good but at 30+ dollars, i don't think it was worth it. no fixings on the burger and you can't even choose how you want it cooked. handrolls were too pricey for us to try. with so many other chic modern japanese restaurants to try from in LA, i would pass on kodo

The new menu is great. Try the fillet mignon and new york steak.
Everything was ah-ma-zing! We`ve tried the new menu tonight and were impressed.

Everything was perfect, fave drink was lychee martini and in the morning strawberry matcha. For dinner we loved the rib eye, ceviche, tuna tartar and chicken the most. The Caesar salad was unique and I really enjoyed it. Miso eggplant also great! We were so full and didn’t think we could eat any more but The sorbet at the end was delicious, super light and refreshing. Service was friendly, atmosphere very pretty.

Came in at lunch time. The sushi restaurant was closed but I got a bento box from the cafe. It was expensive but incredibly delicious and satisfying. A very large portion and perfectly cooked salmon.
