My sister brought me here and said it's the best sushi in the area. I can't say I've tried any other places; however, it was definitely the best sushi I've had in a long time! I live in Columbus and haven't had the options like CO has. We shared a green papaya salad, and it was delicious! I would eat an entire bowl by myself. Don't forget to tear up the basil - it completes the flavor! We got the Lotus, Lemon, Firecracker, Sesame and Pork Belly sushi rolls. That is the order I would rank the rolls in flavor. It is a shame if anyone uses shoyu (sou sauce) or even wasabi when eating these rolls. The lotus has a rice paper wrap (for those who don't like seaweed) and an aioli on top that was so refreshing and flavorful. The lemon was honestly a very close second - maybe even a tie for first. I don't normally like salmon but it was so fresh and the lemon slice was refreshing and clean! read more

Good: - My waitress (Kinslee) was pleasant and very attentive. - I didn't quite enjoy the Sunday Mimosa (Guava) since I'm not a big fan of alcohol but the value is great regardless ($3). - The Spicy Salmon Crunch was actually fantastic. It has everything I'm looking for in a Poke Bowl. - The interior is clean and beautiful. I wouldn't say it's a traditional looking restaurant by any means but the artistic choices make it feel a little more upscale than it actually is. Bad: - The wait. When I first got into the restaurant the host was not at the front desk. So I sat down for about 10 minutes and waited. The host only appeared after a family of three walked in. Note: I'd love to give the place 5 stars but with how I calculate stars I can't because of the initial seating issue. I will re-review eventually to see if the host seating is a consistent issue. read more

The vibe here is very chic and sophisticated. It is located in a very well known and popular shopping center, nestled next to some trendy and bougie stores. My son and I were greeted by our server soon upon arriving to our table. We came to dinner around 8pm on a Monday night, so the dining room wasn't very busy. Our server was polite and took our order at our pace with no issues. We like to stagger our orders when we go out to eat. That way, we're enjoying every plate we share that comes out without a rush. We ordered the Salmon Carpaccio to start, but then their Yellowtail Jalapeño came out to our table instead. It was disappointing to see, but then our server came out shortly and apologized. She also made sure to make our appetizer "on the house" for our troubles. This is a gesture I appreciate coming from one service industry gal to another; very professional and hard to find these days. Once the Salmon Carpaccio came out, we were very pleased with it and loved the notes of lemon zest and oil on the salmon sashimi. Next, we were eager to try something new so we asked about the "pressed sushi," on the menu and went with the salmon avocado sushi stack. To be honest, it was okay. It was literally salmon, rice and avocado pressed together and cut into little rectangular pieces. I'll give it to our server though because did tell us that's exactly what it was. Then we ordered the pan fried gyoza dumplings and the Cambodian Roll. The dumplings were disappointing. The flavor was just okay and it felt overpriced. I just know I could get those same dumplings elsewhere for cheaper, or that I would have better luck buying frozen gyoza dumplings and making them myself at home. However, the Cambodian roll was absolutely delicious! Bravo to whoever invented it! All of those flavors, textures and temperatures came together beautifully. It was unique and very satisfying. Lastly, we finished with an ube cheesecake for dessert and it was a perfectly balanced ending to our meal. read more

Wow, I had no idea that Forest Acres had all these yummy places! They are located in a shopping plaza kinds tucked away. We walked in and was seated fairly quickly. The decor was lovely, make sure you look up at the ceiling for the beautiful mural. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The inside was a really nice vibe, great date night or hang out. All the food was excellent and plentiful. We truly enjoyed our evening out at CO. They have perfected the dishes that we ordered for dinner! We will definitely return in the near future. . read more

CO serves up delicious Asian fusion in a chic environment. In addition to a bar and lovely indoor seating, they have a sidewalk patio that they've made feel tucked away and cozy. On a recent trip to Columbia, the weather was pleasant so my dining companion and I opted for patio seating. We began our experience with cocktails. I got the vanilla lavender old fashioned, which was a lovely twist on a classic old fashioned. For a starter, I got the mango summer rolls. they were huge, fresh, and flavorful. I could have made a meal out of them. For my main dish, I got the Thai green curry, which was slightly sweet, perfectly balanced, and everything Thai green curry should be. A perfect autumn dish for sure! The service was attentive and kind. They even provided a fly fan in case any flies pestered us at our outdoor table (which they didn't). A wonderful strip mall gem! Get to it! read more

Customer service could be way better from the greeter/host at the door to the waitress/server at our table. For the caliber of business they run I'd definitely invest in some customer service training for the staff. The establishment is beautiful and has great lighting and ambience. I did however see serves and staff walk over trash on the floor all night no one thought to even get it up. Food was tasty and very fresh. They have great happy hour deals. I enjoyed the crab Rangoon, California roll, Yuzu Cheesecake was delicious(small portion for price but tasty). Bathrooms were cleaned. I didn't like that water was already on the table with opened straws already in them. I would certainly return for the food and ambience. Great for date night. Great for the family also. I also enjoyed the pineapple infuser sake! read more

The beef was flavorful. The dish was very tasty. They also have a happy hour menu. I will definitely return. read more

Wow. What a gem! I was driving through South Carolina after the holiday and made a pit stop here to visit a friend. Everything on the menu looked so good it was hard to just pick one. I landed on the crispy tuna and the beef + kimchi dumplings. So fresh and so yummy! My party also ordered the bulgogi tacos and crab roll. It's a very modern but casual spot.

By far some of the best happy hour deals I've ever seen in this area. And it's sushi and then some so honestly such great deals. The ambiance here is super aesthetically pleasing, super clean and service here was truly a 10/10. Taste was great! We got some of the short rib bulgogi tacos which were some of my favorite finds for the night, however the dumplings we got that were in happy hour were so tasty as well. I went with the bimbap bowl and that too was truly delicious. My husband and kids all loved their food as well so it was a win for the entire family. I need to find time to come for happy hour again when I'm in the area. 5/5 experience all the way around. read more

Yelp, Fam!! We're back with another review! This time, we're in Columbia, South Carolina. My sister stumbled upon this restaurant after seeing a review from Ken Walker, the realtor (I think he's tried out a bunch of spots), and he gave it a solid recommendation. Naturally, she wanted to check it out, and you all know me--I'm always down to try a new place! So, I was in. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't too packed. The hostess was super friendly, and when he found out it was our first time, he went over the menu with us and gave some great recommendations. Quick heads-up: I totally forgot to take food pictures , I know, I know. But I did manage to snap a few nice shots of the venue. We ordered a few items, including: California sushi rolls, pho, and chicken fried rice. Everything was delicious! I especially loved the fried rice and sushi. My sister enjoyed the pho, and they gave her such a large portion--she had enough for two days! Next time I'm in the area, I definitely plan to stop by and try more dishes. The decor, the food, and the service all impressed me. Can't wait to come back! read more

We were cutting through Columbia, and everyone was hungry so we jumped on Yelp and saw that there was a CO. We are familiar with the one in Charleston and loved it so stopped by to give it a try. The space was so cool, great design and vibes! The food was just as good, we tried the tofu buns and they were delicious. My son loves sushi and his rolls were pretty tasty. I heard the Vietnamese ramen was also great, plenty of noodles and a great pork broth. We split the green curry; I highly recommend this dish, had a little bit of kick but not too over powering. If you live in Columbia, visiting or are looking for great Asian food this is a must try. The plaza where it's located also has some great stores so you can shop before or after you eat read more

This was my third time eating at CO. My parents live in the area, so it's a favorite of mine when I'm visiting. The location is nice and the space is nice as well. What has gotten me to come back multiple times is the happy hour menu. They have a great selection at affordable prices. This visit my husband opted for the pho and I had crab rangoons, spring rolls and my favorite chicken curry. Overall, everything was really good, although I won't get the spring rolls again. The service has always been good and this time didn't disappoint. Gracie did a phenomenal job, she was super pleasant. I would definitely recommend CO if you're in the area. read more

We ordered the blossom roll, samurai supreme roll, bang bang shrimp roll, bulgogi taco, beef & kimchi dumplings, a Sapporo, and a kid's pho, and luckily it was during happy hour so the value was really great and made everything even better. My favorites were the blossom roll and the bulgogi taco. The taco was absolutely stuffed with meat. It was a generous portion. The kids' pho stood out too, the broth was flavorful, and it was packed with chicken, which made the price feel like an incredible deal. And throughout the meal the staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and everything moved along quickly. All in all, the food was amazing and the happy hour specials just made it better. read more

Highly recommend for happy hour! CO does "dollar dumplings" every Monday and Wednesday, which was a deal we couldn't pass up. They weren't busy on a Wednesday (early) evening, and our party of 8 was seated right away. The interior was spacious and had Asian-inspired decor. For drinks, I chose the Blackberry Lychee mocktail, which was fantastic. It was super refreshing and I loved the muddled blackberries. My friends also enjoyed the Jalapeño Guava Margarita and Moscow Filly mocktail. For food, I started with an order of 5 Spicy Crab Rangoons, since these were $1 each for happy hour. The other "dollar dumplings" deal was on the Pork & Ginger Gyoza, which also looked tasty. The Crab Rangoons were so good, I ended up ordering 3 more. The spice level was perfect and they paired so well with the Thai sweet chili sauce. I also got the Pressed Salmon & Avocado sushi and shared an order of Crispy Tuna with my friend. The texture of the Crispy Tuna was amazing - definitely one of our favorites. I was very excited to see pressed sushi on the menu, and the Pressed Salmon & Avocado was pretty good. I wasn't crazy about the lemon slices on top though, and would probably try the Pressed Spicy Tuna next time. Service was impressively fast, and our server Maura was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning! read more

We were in the area of Forest Acres doing some afternoon shopping and we decided to try this Sushi place. Well let's begin by saying that the place looks really nice. The decor makes you want to hang out for a while. Our waitress was so nice and friendly. She made some house recommendations and they were right on point. We loved every dish that we ordered. They looked fresh and delicious. They exceeded our expectations. The prices were reasonable also. We recommend this place to anyone who would want to just have some lunch or dinner and stay a while. Thank you. read more

Very good food and gracious portions. I initially found the soup I ordered was way too salty, so they did let me swap it for a normal pho. When I went they had a special menu for $30 that came with an appetizer, entree and dessert. It was a great deal. The yuzu cheesecake was devine. read more

Tough experience. First the host only offered me a bar seat as I was by myself. Second, the bartender was more concerned about dishes than serving. Third, the food was uneventful: dry dumplings (didn't know there was such a thing), and SOUR, unbalanced. Last, the manager stood around looking like an intern - I feel badly for the staff there. And for myself for sitting through an overpriced meal. Maybe they don't want to be in business anymore? Not sure. read more

I did not catch our servers name but he was super sweet and attentive. He provided great recommendations and was able to accommodate our desire to stagger our courses out a bit. The restaurant was a bit on the warmer side but in their defense it was over 100 degrees outside. We ordered the papaya salad which was huge, crunch and delicious. We also ordered a few sushi rolls which were also good. In addition to the great service we received our server gave us some recommendations for fishing spots around the city which we greatly appreciated. read more

This is like my 4th time coming here and I think this is pretty much my favorite restaurant now, especially during happy hour lol. My friend put me on to this spot and I usually don't come without her but yesterday was my birthday and I wanted to go to happy hour for half off sushi rolls and crispy tuna rice lol. I got there and sat at the bar since it was just me. I started off with an amaretto sour because that is my go to drink, then I got crispy tuna rice, the sunset crab roll (no avocado) and crab rangoons (they were regular price but a dollar on mondays and Wednesday). The crispy tuna rice and so fresh and the rice is crunchy. The sauce and the slice of jalapeno on top give it a nice kick and add to the flavor. A 10/10 , please go get it. The sunset crab roll is my top favorite. It is creamy , the texture is crunchy from the crispy sweet potato pieces on top. If you don't like raw fish, I highly recommend this roll. The spicy crab Rangoon was also needed for this birthday meal. They came out super fresh, so they were hot, creamy and crunchy. I love the spicy mayo sauce and whatever else they drizzle on top because it adds so much flavor. My whole meal was a 100/10. I ordered the ube cheesecake to go because I was stuffed but I had to get it because I LOVE ube. Omg it was so good and creamy. The ube has a beautiful nutty and vanilla flavor to it. And the crème anglaise added to the creaminess to it. I think it should have a crunchy bottom for texture but tbh the flavor was perfect. This was the best birthday happy hour ever. the service was perfect as well as always and the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. read more

The phrase stumbled upon a good thing is really true here. My waiting for my car to be finished with the auto mechanic we decided to run in for a quick bite here. It was happy hour so we tried quite a few things and was supplies with everything we got. Service was exceptional, and the food was phenomenal. You could truly tell that everything was made in house. The only thing that could use improvement was the amount of salt in the beef bulgogi tacos. Everything else was exceptional and we will return! read more

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! read more

Honestly a bit disappointed by my experience here. I've been to the raleigh location before, so I was excited to try this new one in Columbia. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day and I think that severely altered our service. It took our waitress so long to bring out our drinks (a water and a soda) when we first got there. The food came out fairly fast after we ordered thanks to the food runner, but once our waitress came back to check on us we needed more waters and it took her about 20-25 minutes to give us water. By the time she came back we had already finished our meal! I hope next time I come back the service has improved. read more
