The only rough spot is that it's quite popular. One must arrive early or call to find out when the next wave of diners might be departing. The staff. From greeting to departure, we have felt welcome and appreciated. Not sucked-up-to. Appreciated. It's like they dig what they're doing. Feels great. This is doubly true for us when dining at the bar. We had a great conversation with the gent serving, and enjoyed him nearly as much as the meal. The fish. So fresh. So tasty. Soft. Perfectly cut. Mmm. Parking is pretty simple. Plenty of space behind the building. Chill neighborhood, too. Felt quite safe. At some point, I need to try some of the many other types of Japanese cuisine, Chinese cuisine, and Thai cuisine. This place makes me wish I lived in Bellevue.

Finding good sushi in the middle of America is certainly a treat. And at Koji, the sushi here is…read morecertainly good. Tasted fresh to me! (although I think the fish is cured to retain freshness) We ordered a couple rolls, but mostly stuck to the nigiri. The Hama toast, prairie tuna, and yaki gindara were all ono. The yaki gindara tasted like butterfish sushi, but with sablefish rather than black cod. Also, the rice used for the sushi tasted similar to the rice used in sushi in Hawaii. We also tried some of the yakitori - grilled meat on sticks. I strongly recommend the tako yakitori. I'm not really into tako poke (Hawaii dish), but this tako with that miso panca sauce is super ono. Full of flavor with a touch of spicy. I could eat that all the time. The five-spice old fashioned they have is also delicious. Service was excellent for us. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself has a/c and gives an izakaya vibe familiar in Hawaii. Also, I saw people come in with t-shirt and shorts for dinner. So I guess there isn't really a dress code here. As others have mentioned, Koji is a sister restaurant to Yoshitomo, and the menus of both restaurants do overlap to a degree. However, Koji has MUCH better parking than Yoshitomo. Trying to find parking for Yoshitomo or Ota can be a pain since it's all street parking. Koji is in a strip mall with its own parking lot (free parking too). I will definitely return here whenever I'm in Omaha.

She shared the story of how she and her husband moved from Brooklyn and opened the restaurant five years ago. She explained that they receive fresh fish deliveries twice a week, and it absolutely shows. Everything I ordered was phenomenal. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and every bite exceeded my expectations. If you're in Omaha and craving sushi, this place is well worth the visit. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

While not the best I've had, it was definitely good and I would go again! I wish I had gotten to try some rolls, but went purely with nigiri and sashimi this time around as I think that's the true tell of quality for a sushi restaurant. Favorites of the night were the tenzushi (sweet shrimp), hamapon (hamachi sashimi) and the uni. The Hama toast is really popular here but I wasn't expecting the bread to be soft - I think if it would have been crunchy instead then I would have loved it. The service and hospitality were outstanding - our server was kind enough to gift us the ume hirame to try and it was one of our favorites of the night. The shisho with the fluke made such a clean and refreshing bite. The chef also shared his chu-toro from his private dinner the night before and it was delicious as well. Don't skip their drinks either - the ube drink was so good that I had to order it again.

Let me start off by saying that these are possibly the friendliest and most accommodating restaurant servers you will find! Not only is the service excellent, but they enjoy making small talk with their customers. The food is a good mixture of Americanized Chinese and Korean dishes. None of the dishes were exotic nor something you wouldn't find at any other American Chinese restaurant. But it is all good, tasty and fresh. It is one of my son's favorite places because they are willing to make custom orders to his liking. The atmosphere is spacious and clean. I heard that it is under new ownership, so perhaps the word hasn't gotten out yet, because it is fairly quiet. We've never had to wait. read more

They were friendly and attentive. We ordered 2 orders of Crab Rangoon so we got ten and the center was cold well 3 out of 5 had cold centers. We didn't finish 4 of them. The egg rolls were mediocre at best. They were at least hot. However, they were also incredibly small. I wouldn't order them again. You would be better off getting a box from the grocery store and cooking them yourself. We ordered Peanut Butter Chicken, the sauce was not good. It was lacking flavor. The chicken it was more breading than chicken, it just wasn't good. The fried rice that came with it was mushy and didn't have flavor either, even with soy sauce my wife couldn't eat it. The shrimp fried rice had so much raw onion it was almost inedible. The shrimp was good size, and didn't taste fishy so that was a positive. The rice was over cooked. Ordered 3 rolls... California, Spicy crab and the shrimp tempura. My kids had these, I had a bite of shrimp tempura and I had so many tails that I was literally spiting the hard shells out. So I decided to try the spicy crab and the seaweed that it was wrapped in was hard and I had to pull it out of my mouth to finish chewing it. It was a horrible experience and place I will never come back to. I would tell everyone I can to avoid this place at all costs. Do your self a favor and save your $83 and find another place to eat.

I haven't ordered in at least a year, so I'm not sure if they've changed owners, but the prices are now exorbitant, the quality was very low, and portions other than rice and items that came in a certain quantity were tiny. The sweet and sour chicken was all hard breading and there were maybe 12 pieces in a dinner-sized portion. The Mongolian beef, while tender and tasty, literally had 6 pieces, all buried under the excessive vegetables and mushrooms. The wonton soup had one single wonton in clear broth that literally fell apart when I tried to put it on my fork and disintegrated. The egg rolls had a totally different texture than every other Chinese restaurant I've ever eaten at and were incredibly mushy in the middle. The chicken wings were really sub par and the pork fried rice was so salty we couldn't eat it. Of the whole order, the only halfway decent food in the correct quantities were the dumplings, which were OK. There weren't even any fortune cookies with this $68 meal. It took me a lot of trial and error to find a Chinese restaurant I liked after moving here from NY, so I'm really disappointed at how far Asian Wok has fallen.
