“Sushi and bento were pretty good. Everything was a bit on the pricier side. The uni toro hand roll was not very worth it. Only thing that stood out was the fried langoustine. Perfect crunch, not too rubbery, and the sauce didn’t overpower the natural sweetness of the langoustine. Also a good deal as I don’t know anywhere else you can get that much for $15. Great service also!”

“Good quality Japanese food. Grilled salmon is our favorite. Sushi variety is also good. The dining area is comfortable, and service friendly. It’s also a popular takeout spot, and we often see people coming in to pick up their orders. A nice Japanese restaurant that we’re happy to have it nearby.”

“I ordered the Umesuisho (shark cartilage), Gyutan Steak (beef tongue), chicken skin, chicken thigh, and Ume (plum) Soda. The soda came in a can, and it complemented the food nicely. The Umesuisho was more of a side dish, similar to Kimchi; sweet, sour, and salty, going well with fatty meats, such as the Gyutan Steak, and rice. The chicken skin was crispy and delicious, marinated perfectly. The chicken thigh was tender, chewing nicely.”

“Simple menu with large portions and a lot of add ons. There is 1 unisex restroom by the entrance. Parking can be tight so plan ahead or arrive early. Order by writing on a paper menu your selection and your server will take it to to the kitchen. All items are great. I highly recommend them.”

“KOKO Izakaya & Oyster House was a good spot for a quick Sunday lunch, especially if you’re craving sushi. The restaurant was quite busy, which created a lively atmosphere. We ordered a few sushi rolls, miso soup, and seaweed salad. While the presentation wasn’t particularly impressive, the food was fresh and met our expectations. The miso soup was simple but comforting, and the kids really enjoyed it. The seaweed salad was fresh, and the sushi tasted good with generous portions of fish. The service was decent overall, although we had to get our server’s attention a few times since he wasn’t checking in on our table very often. It wasn’t a bad experience, but a little more attentiveness would have made the meal more enjoyable. Overall, if you’re looking for a casual place to satisfy a sushi craving without expecting anything fancy, KOKO Izakaya & Oyster House is worth a visit. The food was enjoyable, the restaurant had a nice atmosphere despite being busy, and we’d consider stopping by again when we’re in the area.”

“The staff were extremely kind and served us well! The food is a good price and definitely worth it, absolutely delicious. Good atmosphere and clean, they also have a restaurant. Me and my 3 friends spent $90 including a tip for our wonderful waitress and got one plate of sushi each. I would definitely recommend this place!”

“Got the tonkatsu udon and tempura (shrimp, shishito pepper, sweet potato, and kombucha squash). The tempura was so perfectly seasoned and had a really good crisp. Also did not taste overly oily. The udon was very good. Not necessarily mind blowing, but certainly not disappointing. The noodles had a wonderful chew. However, I think the tempura stood out the most to me. Would certainly go back just for that.”

“Excellent food, generous portions, as well as quick and efficient service! I ordered two rolls but only one ended up coming, but I was glad, because one was more than enough (it was huge! And I'm a big eater) The miso soup was also pretty good, nothing to complain! Will be coming back for more”

“Saw the add on Facebook and it looked good so came to try it my self. The chicken teriyaki was well cooked with that sweet flavor and the veggies were very tasty. They have great customer service and bathroom available for customers. The lipton tea was great. I had the large chicken teriyaki. Yummy!”

“Update 10/26: Still great! This restaurant has many chinese inspired dishes and it's great. It reminds me of going to a Chinese restaurant in Japan. The charisu fried rice really hits a nostalgic spot and the gyoza are made spot on.”

“You walk into this little room with a bunch of lockers and a tablet... you show the tablet your order on your phone. It'll either pull up how much longer till your order is ready or it says a locker number, pops open that locker, grab your food and walk out. No contact with a person at all.”
