Not sure if they have changed management in the last couple of years, but this is not the same K.O. Sushi I would visit once a week. I only ever get the Hung Roll. Went today for the first time in over a year. I used to get chunks of salmon in my roll. Today, I only had pellets in each roll. There was more rice than filling. Completely disappointed. read more

KO Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Ko Sushi is a win every time. I used to go here way more often pre-covid when I worked Uptown. I've definitely missed it. It's the tiniest little sushi spot, but everything I've had here has always been really freshly made and delicious! I decided to place a pickup for lunch. This trip I had the caterpillar roll and fireworks roll. Sooooooooooooo good! And for these rolls to be "to go" they were still so beautifully made. Picking up is tricky because it's inside KO is located inside of a building Uptown right off a busy street. So, unless I missed something, there's no true pick up area. I parked out front on the street and quickly ran inside. My food only took about 5 mins to come out and I was back in my car fairly fast. I love their sushi, so I don't mind the pick up hassle at all. They also have really good udon soup. Great sushi spot! read more

Searching for sushi in Charlotte and came across this spot. Small location, no parking on the street but noticed patrons were double parking in front to get their takeout orders. Two small areas to eat at inside, both at the windows on either side of the door and two chairs per section. Must scan the QR code at the cash register to see the menu, but they also have the menu up on the wall behind the cash register. They offer appetizers, soups, salads, sashimi, Maki rolls, special rolls, drinks, and sides. Extra sides of sauces come with an additional fee. Prices are reasonable for sushi, based on my experience of living in NYC with NYC sushi prices anyway. Ordered the house and mini house salad, steamed shrimp shumai, chubby roll, and perfect match roll. All to go. Waited about 15 minutes and they had a decent flow of customers coming in and out while we waited. They put their food in Styrofoam, which I haven't seen in a while as NY doesn't really use Styrofoam anymore. But they were willing to put the food in plastic instead, which was great. The guy at the counter taking orders was pleasant and friendly as well. Food itself was tasty and fresh. Lost one star because the house salad had a small fruit fly in it when we pulled the food out of the bag. Sushi was delicious. They gave forks, chopsticks, napkins and soy sauce packs in the bag. Shumai was also tasty. All together we paid $32.50. They take cash or card. I'd try them again if I find myself in the area in the future. read more

Ordered delivery from KO and it did not disappoint. Got the spicy tuna box and miso soup. The roll was way bigger than I expected, each piece was bigger than your average maki roll. Miso was perfectly salty, not overwhelming but not bland. Will absolutely order again! read more

Is this the best sushi I've ever had in my life? No, but it's probably the cheapest sushi you can get in uptown Charlotte that still tastes good. Most of their maki rolls are ~$5 with their specialty rolls coming in around ~$10. I've gotten some of their hot items now and again but keep on coming back to the sushi here as my favorite item. My favorite items on the menu include the classic spicy tuna/ salmon maki roles, the Tiger roll, and the side salad (which is larger than the side salad you'd get at a normal sushi restaurant). I'd recommend ordering online and picking up since there isn't seating in the restaurant to dine-in. I've gotten takeout from here a number of times and haven't been disappointed yet! read more

I really like KO Sushi. The food here is really good and it's almost a hidden little gem off the street. They have a variety of options to choose from...sushi, nigiri, etc. and it always tastes fresh. It's really more of a pickup/takeout spot. Only 1-2 window seats available and pretty small inside. But very convenient location. There is a parking garage next to the building or find street parking and walk over, if you drive in for it. If already Uptown, just walk or scooter over. Place your order online through Yelp/Grubhub and it's ready fairly quickly. Doesn't take too long to do a walk-in order either. Definitely recommend trying it out for yourself! read more

Glad to see KO sushi survived Covid! This is a great spot for quick to go sushi Uptown. It's near Jimmy John's and is across the street from the Kimpton. They don't really have indoor seating besides a couple chairs by the window as they primarily serve to go orders. You can order online and pick up or have it delivered through Grub Hub. I initially ordered the Alaskan Roll and V3 roll with brown rice and paid online but then a minute later I was sent a notification that brown rice was unavailable and was promptly refunded. I actually appreciated that as I feel like most places wouldn't have done that. The two rolls I got were solid - the Alaskan roll comes with smoked salmon so it a little saltier than raw salmon but was still good. V3 is your standard V3 too. This place isn't the absolute best sushi in Charlotte by any means but it gets the job done if you have a craving and need sushi fast! read more

Excellent sushi!! The very best I've had in Charlotte. I tried the Spicy Tina roll, the steamed shrimp shumai and a spicy tuna roll and loved all of it. I travel to Charlotte several times a year for business and this will be in my regular rotation going forward. read more

The sushi was ok. Service was good. Got food out fast and service was good. Sushi was just average.

Best bang for your buck can be found here! My boyfriend and I both ordered ahead on grub hub and got the Charlotte combo which comes w 4 piece Nigiri and 8 piece regular roll. I got the spicy tuna which was delicious and the meat was really good quality which is nice because I was skeptical it would be minced and mixed. He got the spicy salmon roll which was in fact minced but still good. The Nigiri was the best part because of its freshness and good quality thick cuts of meat. My only complaints are the lack of rice with the nigiri and the minced salmon but other than that we will definitely go back! Eating for two for under $25 is not bad and it's filling and delicious. read more

I don't know what the KO in KO Sushi stands for, but it should stand for Knock Out! I got 2 different sushi rolls, but I should have written this sooner because I don't remember which ones. They tasted very good. That is all. read more

Favorite place to get sushi when in charlotte. Super quick service and really fresh ingredients. I got their salmon maki rolls and the shrimp steamed Gyoza and they were just delicious. I was in and out of the store in less than 10 mins and was picking up food (ordered on the spot). Highly recommending this place both for lunch and read more

Good food, friendly staff and consistently good- also very close to many work places downtown

Top notch sashimi with big flavor. Good wasabi. Rolls had a lot of filler and rice unfortunately. Overall great price.

Great for quick delivery. They are always quick to deliver. That being said I am in the uptown area- so it's easy to get around traffic.

I'm giving them a 4 star due to the wait for my order took a little longer then expected, I placed my order through the ritual app, I had the tempura roll. The food is good when I get a chance or I'm in the mood for sushi this is my first pick in uptown because is good and reasonable. read more

KO Sushi - Tempura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Good lord it's so hard to find parking. Literally not worth it if you do not live within walking distance. With that said, it's a husband and wife business and dang the sushi is fresh and tasty, not to Mention authentic. I am pretty sure the owners are Japanese too! Don't bother calling, they don't pick up. Everything is online order and you need to order an hour in advance of pickup. Pickup time is 45-60 min out. The food itself for charlotte sushi is almost 5 stars, but the parking, lack of seating (strictly a pickup place) and the pickup time makes this 4 stars. read more

Service is nice! Here it can take a while to get your order sometimes, depending on your order. I always get a sushi box or roll and then dumplings. Dumplings are so so good, they don't plate them until you arrive if you ordered online, so if you go during lunch just be prepared to wait a little longer if you order them, or any hot dishes I would assume. I usually get some kind of spicy tuna roll or California roll with added spicy Mayo and eel sauce. Always good and addicting because the food is good and prices are fair. read more

My favorite place to get a lot of sushi! Not the most premium sushi, but it's still amazing! The sushi is very inexpensive, so you can get a whole variety of rolls for a fraction of the cost of other sushi restaurants. Definitely visit read more

This place has super cheap sushi and is an easy to go option uptown. The sushi quality is decent, it could be better but the prices reflect that. I'd continue going here to get a quick dinner. read more

This is a valuable hidden spot in uptown Charlotte. I've passed by this place so many time I've lost count but never had stopped by until now. They are a small sushi take out place with maybe for high chairs in case you want to dine in. They have a pretty decent menu and their prices are great. I decided to go with tempura shrimp and shrimp dumplings, the food got ready quite fast considering that when I arrived, there were more people waiting for their order. I loved my sushi! They were fresh and their size was perfect, 8 pieces of delicious sushi! The dumplings were really good and what I loved the most about them was the spicy sauce they were marinated in. I highly recommend this spot for some cheap, fast, delicious sushi :) read more

I'm not from Charlotte, my mom and I were meeting in the middle of both of our cities. We stopped here not knowing it was take out only. That was okay for us though, we ordered spicy tuna roll (topped with shrimp and avocado) and a salmon roll with seaweed on the outside we also got a miso soup and calamari salad. We weren't IMPRESSED by anything. It wasn't bad though. Thx read more

So I really like KO sushi. Don't come here expecting a 5 star place. You walk in, you order and you go. However, there are a few bar stools against the window if you want to eat here. I like KO because they're convenient, the food is good and you get a bang for your buck :) They are always packed during lunch, good sign right! They have lunch specials, spend $7 and get a free drink. They have combo boxes. They have birthday specials 50% off. Their menu is ridiculously inexpensive. So getting to $7 will at least get you 2 rolls or a roll and a meal (the meal includes a gyoza appetizer). Like really? Why not. Try em out! read more

I was very happy with my meal. The caterpillar roll didn't have too much rice, which I loved. Most places make their rolls about 2/3 rice and it looks big but it's mostly rice. Yours was just right! As a sample, I received a small bowl of the Ko Bowl. I loved it. I will be ordering that next time. Great combo of sweet, spicy and salty and loved the seaweed and daikon. Nice job with that. read more

Sushi!! Look, let me start off and say how much I love sushi. 1-2 years ago, I wouldn't even touch it. I was missing out for sure. I'm always down to try sushi anywhere (okay, maybe not the gas station sushi). I also work uptown and there are several places near my job that have sushi, even closer than KO. I decided to take a stroll to KO and pass by my normal sushi place to see how they were, since there always seems to be a line. I placed my order online in advance and I still ended up waiting in line to check in and pay. I have also ordered in person to compare the wait time difference and the online ordering does seem to be slightly faster, but not deal breaking fast. I always seem to go for the fried seafood in my rolls and I went with the Tempura roll. Unlike most tempura rolls that just have Shrimp tempura and some veggies, they have shrimp, crab, spicy mayo and masago. No veggies! Which, let me tell you, is awesome for me. I don't really like avocado and a lot of sushi has it, but I normally just deal with it. The sushi is some of the best that I've had and I'm kicking myself for not coming sooner. I also tried the Shrimp Shumai appetizer. The ones I've had at other places uptown very always fried. These were not. However, these were so good. The best I've had so far. Whatever the special sauce is, it's amazing and special to my heart. The price. Being in uptown you always expect prices to be higher and KO is not only inexpensive, but they are the cheapest I've had in the city. I've picked up some orders for my boss as well and he said it's also some of the best he's had and he came from San Francisco where I've heard they have amazing sushi. If you are in the area or just want some good sushi, do yourself a flavor and go there ASAP! The lunch rush is around 12-1, so avoid that time, but if you are on a lunch break, the wait isn't terrible like most places. read more

I've eaten at KO a couple times and I've ordered over the phone. Every time I've ordered over the phone and went to pick up, I've still had to wait. I don't know if they try to save money by waiting until the person to show up to make the rolls but they don't seem very busy. It's actually frustrating when you call ahead and plan to have a quick pick up. After a long wait for my food (both times I've been) it was just ok. I wouldn't suggest this as a must try spot. It's good for lunch in the city or if you need a quick bite. The rolls are cheap and it's close to home but that's it. read more

Favorite pickup sushi spot uptown, by far. I've been a regular for about three years, and I typically grab two Perfect Match rolls (minus cucumber), and they 100% hit the spot when I don't know what I am craving for food. The staff is the kindest, and their lunch specials are affordable and fantastic. I would absolutely recommend ordering online if it's a weekday lunch, otherwise you'll find yourself waiting for 15-30 minutes due to popularity and lunch rush. Couldn't say better things about K.O.! Love them! read more

Love this sushi, I am a sushi fanatic and have been trying to find good sushi places near me. I got the tempura roll and Hiro roll and they were both amazing.

Best sushi place in Charlotte IMO. Every time I've gotten food from here I have not been disappointed. All the rolls are a great size, even the non speciality rolls are huge. I also get miso soup as well, which is so good. The woman who works the front is so kind and helpful. The only downside is the location, in uptown, so parking isn't ideal. But to make up for this just order from Uber eats! read more

This sushi place is in a good location uptown. I got the Philly roll and chicken box. The Philly roll was just average.The chicken and rice tasted really good but the portion size was so small. Customer service here is not good. There's no one there to greet you. No bell or anything to ring. So you just stand there waiting for someone. When they do come they don't apologize and aren't very friendly. They said the food would take 10 to 15 minutes- which is no problem. When we came back in 15 minutes, same thing, nobody was there and our food wasn't ready.I think they could really improve their customer service here.Currently they are not offering dine in. The facility is really small and just has two small seating areas. read more

Good sushi at a reasonable price. I had the Charlotte combo. Fresh fish. Good spicy tuna. Great nigiri. Basic bare bones place but that is part of the Japanese ascetic.
