⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kojo in Sarasota absolutely blew us away! Every single thing we ordered was delicious — seriously, not one miss. The flavors, presentation, and freshness were all next level. But what truly made the night unforgettable was our server, Sarah. She was hands-down the best we’ve ever had — funny, genuine, and completely on point the entire night. She knew exactly how to make us feel welcome and taken care of, without ever missing...

Amazing Asian fusion spot in downtown Sarasota! Sexy vibes. Honestly makes you feel like you're in Miami or NYC. Food is incredible. So fresh. We got the KOJO roll, pork belly bao buns, steak noodles, and a strip which was cooked to perfection. HIGHLY recommend getting one of their steaks. Service was great. Great date night spot or girls night out.

Great experience from the warm fresh jasmine smelling towels they hand out on arrival like being on a business class flight to the fantastic lychee martini, the music and comforting ambience. We had the shanghai noodles and cauliflower both a hit. Wish they had a spicy sauce. We are vegetarian and they have a separate menu. Great find for sarasota!
