If you haven’t been here yet, it is a must visit for your next dining experience. Some of the most excellent, exciting and creative dishes I’ve had in a very long time. Every dish was presented so beautifully and tasted just as amazing as it looked. The restaurant was beautiful inside, spotless the staff were very friendly and kind. The food was some of the best I’ve had. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a restaurant. Thank you to everyone here for making our visit so wonderful and welcoming. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new place to dine and have already spoke of how great our experience was to several friends.
The food was absolutely amazing!!! Everything was so fresh and so yummy!! The pizza and the tacos are a must!!! And the kojo roll!

Absolutely delicious. The food is a unique blend of Asian and Tapas! And the service is unmatched! If I could give 10 stars for service I would. This is a trendy, modern atmosphere with delicious cuisine that I can taste the passion and care that was put into it! My kind of place! Highly recommend!
Parking: This restaurant is directly under the parking garage elevators so it is ultra convenient. And the parking garage is very affordable with $2 on a Saturday night while we ate dinner.
Fiancé and I went for our anniversary and everyone was so amazing and accommodating! Our server Jason was the best!

Jojo was a disappointment. The indoor seating is much better than the outside. Outside seating was uncomfortable and cramped. Portions are very small and taste was bland. Four of us were dining and we all ordered different dishes. Definitely the Brussels sprouts were the best and most favorable dish. We have been downtown diners for 22 years. This was a bid let down. For the cost the service was only fair.

This is my GO TO for sushi and drinks. The best drink is the spicy cucumber margarita ( its not on the menu i think it's called the seif margarita????) but wow. Food is great. Don't get the tomahawk and if you do order a level below as they ALWAYS overcook it. The noodles are too oily always.
Service could be hit or miss ( mostly a hit ) one time had a really bad experience but i won't count it
Musts: Any sushi roll, any maki taco, fried rice, the filet is great, the drinks are superb.
Amazing Ambiance! The servers are very knowledgeable and friendly! Everything I've ever eaten here has been delicious! Many of the plates are designed to share.

Great restaurant. Steak tender, tea smoked chicken very good, the Thai cauliflower (no picture) was outstanding and the crispy tofu (no picture).

Everything we ate here was incredible! The potato baos blew my mind and the sushi was top tier! Great service too - wish I could remember my waiters name. Will definitely be back!
This place is triggering; like appropriation, hypocritical type triggering. Not the drinks (didn't even get to the food) - but the service... Omg. We had both friendly smiles and just super dismissive ones. Had to fish for attention.

Talk about a great dining experience. Kojo was such a blast. The food was very elegantly presented to us, and it was extremely tasty. This was definitely a bit more fancy than your normal restaurant, and you should for sure make a reservation. I came here for a bday dinner with my girlfriend, and we loved the entire experience. From the presentation to the food. Every single dish was got was amazing. The staff was very well trained, prompt and friendly. Would recommend it for sure.
Good food. Good drink. Good atmosphere. Expensive. Ordered local Florida rock shrimp rice. Spicy af. I can handle spice but this even got me burning. Like really spicy Indian food. Miami Vice was strong. 60 dollars for 1 person 1 Miami Vice and Florida local rice pan. Will come try more but super expensive, super spicy, and drink was super strong.

We had exceptional food and service from Octavio at Kojo! We enjoyed sushi, bao buns and spicy wagu noodles-all amazing. We had several exceptional cocktails. I highly recommend a visit to Kojo if you are in Sarasota!!
