I've been twice now and both times I have only tried the sushi and small plates. Sushi quality is very good, the yellowtail sashimi, pork belly roll, and the sunset crab roll were 10/10. Small plates I've tried the pork & ginger gyoza, crab wontons, beef kimchi dumplings, crispy tuna and they were good as well. My only complaint with the small plates/ appetizers is that it's exactly that lol very small. Definitely not shareable! However they are good. Cocktails were also good as well, overall very solid place!

A successful date night tonight at CO. It was incredibly busy tonight. I knew it would be being a new restaurant in Forest Acres. Our server Hanna was excellent and a true gem to wait on us. Our food was delayed of no fault of hers and she was very quick to apologize. We started with the Curry Shrimp and Beef and Kimchi Dumplings. They both were delicious and the Curry Shrimp is a favorite from going to the Charlotte and Charleston locations. The dumplings were cold is the only thing. Still very flavorful but would have been even better if they would have been fresh. My husband got the Korean bowl and I got the crispy Tuna. Both so tasty!!! We finished with the cheesecake wontons. We will definitely be back and hopefully next time everything will be hot...

I love a new spot in the city and my wife LOVES Asian food so that's a plus ... the lighting and set up of the bar is very nice... also I looked up and saw the vents painted in the traditional flowers that added a dope vibe the ambiance gets a A- Plus ... our waitress was very inviting .... Dinner begins with a Ginger Mule ..sub the vodka add Don Julio .... First app up was the Spicy Crab Rangoon ... cooked perfectly with drizzle in Thai Sweet Chili sauce nothing to fret over .. the filling was seasoned perfect .... Next up the MALAYSIAN CHILI WINGS.. wings were served hot and very flavorful... just the right amount of spice ... For my Entrees me and the wiz split the chicken Banh Mi and the Spicy Chicken Pho... the bread on the Banh Mi was sooooooo soft ... chicken was cooked well and the toppings were just enough ... a the spicy Pho as also good with the extra sprouts and sauce ... this def a great date night ... if in Columbia SC checc CO out

This little spot is nestled in the corner of Trenholm Plaza. It's super cozy. The food was very delicious and fresh. The decor on the inside is very well themed. There's a lot of seating but I anticipate it's pretty packed on the weekends. When we first arrived it was packed but we were seated immediately and the service was on point. The waitress took good care and us. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because of the small bottle of sodas they have and charge $3.50 for. Other than that we will definitely be back. My wife had the Pho with chicken. I had the Korean rice bowl. We shared the Mango summer rolls and the pork belly buns. For dessert we had the crispy cheesecake wontons!

Just get your bottom down here and experience the food yourself. Great atmosphere, great service and the food is on point. Co is a perfect blend of various Asian cuisines all under one roof and I must say the best tasting sushi in Columbia. I love everything about this place and can't wait to come back to try more of their menu. Welcome to Columbia, Co. It's about damn time.

Great food and service. I came here with my fiancée and her parents on a Saturday night. We waited for our table at the bar, expected wait time was 45min, we only waited about 25. Martinis were excellent, the thai beer was great too. Maura (?) was our server and she was amazing. She took very good care of u. One of us made a mistake with our order and she happily fixed it for us. She was very personable and friendly and possibly the best server I've ever had. Give this girl a raise!The sushi was great, we ordered the thai salmon, sunset crab, and a couple others I can't remember... all were good! Better than expected for a chain. I also recommend the spicy edamame, it's a decent portion to share. The chicken katsu was also very well prepared and seasoned.Only downside is it is pretty loud. But that does not bother us.We will be happy to come back next time we are in town!

Good atmosphere, mediocre food and service. What to expect from a chain. Nothing really bad but the papaya salad tasted nothing like what is served in Thai restaurants. The Bánh mì was pretty good even though the bread was factory made. Still, everyone seemed to be enjoying thenselves.
My family recently dined at CO, and I must say, the experience was fantastic. The food was very good, with a diverse menu that offers something for everyone. What stood out to me was the speed and quality of the service; our orders were taken promptly and served with a smile.The venue itself is impressive. It's a new, large space that is beautifully decorated, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Additionally, the cleanliness of the bathrooms deserves a special mention.They went without a reservation an only had to wait for about 10-15 minutes for a table, which was quite reasonable considering it was Valentine night. Overall, CO is a great choice for anyone looking for delicious food, quick service, and a pleasant dining environment. Highly recommended!#TeSheraEats

This is my second review on CO, and it was quite awesome yet again! I cannot stress enough how badly forest acres and quite frankly, the "city" of Columbia needed this restaurant! Food was outstanding yet again, atmosphere great our server had a little bit of an attitude problem, but the food made up for it! Big shoutout to CO, keep it up!

I placed a to go order. I was asking the hostess what is her suggestion if I order a Bahn Mi sandwich and she suggested the short rib Bahn Mi. One bite and it was so flavorful! The bread was toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. The best Bahn Mi I have eaten!! You have to try it!

I’m shocked to see some people had such poor experiences, but then again they are new and in the learning process! We went Valentine’s Day around 6pm - no wait and were sat immediately! The food was seriously so good. We were not disappointed by anything! I forgot our servers name but she was SO sweet. We had: crispy tuna, tuna tacos, pork and ginger gyoza, salmon pressed sushi, tuna tataki roll, and the katsu chicken. AMAZING - the shoyu egg on there!! Very good. The small plates came out in increments, not all at once which I liked a lot. The peach martini wasn’t my fave. Overall, we think this will be our new date spot!
