What a surprise find in Penticton!! A Japanese-run ramen shop!! The menu was contemporary and creative. It even offered a creamy vegan ramen which was AMAZING! It's one of the best ramen broths I've ever had! I'll admit it was a little strange to see cilantro in top of ramen, but it worked. There was also shredded cabbage, negi/leeks, carrots and smoky tofu. The soup was super decadent and creamy with a deep shiitake flavor. I don't know how they got this broth so good but I was sure not to let it go to waste. I finished as much of it as I could. The bf ordered the KOJO Chicken Ramen. The chicken was tender and lightly grilled on the outside for extra umami. There was a nice balance of veggies and the egg was a bit overdone for a ramen egg but was fine for his preferences. We also shared the veggie roll. It was pretty simple and tasted as you would expect. Call it blasphemy but I loved the ramen broth so much I dipped the sushi in the broth instead of shoyu. I stand by my decision. If you live in Penticton, I hope you become a regular here. If you're visiting, you definitely need to reserve a meal here. The food is top notch! read more

has to be the BEST sushi in Penticton... Staff always welcoming & grateful for the visits. My teenager loves the sauces. My picky 8 yr old has never complained about Sushi Kojo. Dine in or to go, food quality does not change. We now live in Edmonton and Sushi Kojo is a must on our places to eat when coming Home to Penticton. read more

You won't be disappointed in the quality of fish in this Penticton Sushi spot! It's not our traditional Sushi bar or Restaruant! You stand in line to order then sit or mostly take out. Only a few tables inside and out. They do take reservations which is a plus. Limited menu for those of us die hard serious Sushi eaters but I found they will make just about anything you ask for including Nigiri! Sapporo is cold and served in a chilled glass!! read more

I was craving sushi on a busy day of wine touring and my SIL recommended this place. I loved that we could order online in advance and just go in and grab our order and continue on our way. I ordered the dynamite roll and the yam and avocado roll. The sushi was delicious. Fresh and made just how I like it. Staff were fast and friendly, most appreciated as we were just making a pit stop in between tours. Didn't make use of the facilities or seating are but had a quick look while I was waiting for the order and it looked nice. I will definitely be back and ordering from here again. read more

For the red spicy ramen. I would come back here for this, it's unique - different from any ramen I've had in Vancouver. The egg is ok but the chicken is tender and crispy like it should be and the broth is delicious. It's properly spicy though, be warned!!! read more

One of the best places to come for sushi in Penticton! Have tried many other places but this seems to be one of the top ones right now. The menu still is a bit limited compared to places in Vancouver but I hope they are expanding it. The staff are very friendly and attentive. This isn't the traditional sit down, order and wait for your food. You will need to order and pay for your food at the counter, get handed a number and find a place to sit. I ordered the Kojo bento box and it was really good. Came with 4pcs California roll, 4pcs Dynamite roll, Sunomono, Tempura, Chicken teriyaki and Miso soup. Dinner was great and would come back. read more

There aren't a lot of options on the south side of Penticton but Kojo is amazing. We go once a week and the service has always been great and the food is excellent. We usually get takeout so we can't comment on the ambiance. read more

Fantastic food! Amazing service! Tasted a little bit like I was back in Tokyo! It's a must go!

Amazing food. A real jem in the Okanagan. My favourite dish is the tuna poke. So flavourful and delicious. The owner used to be the head chef at Happa in Yaletown and moved his family to the Okanagan. The service is friendly and the food is good. Quality sushi at reasonable prices. read more

This restaurant is a little gem. We have taken the habit of going once a week for a bowl of spicy red Ramen. We love being greeted with a big "Heyyy irrashei" ! by the friendly staff everytime we walk in, it's such a nice addition to a very good experience. Whether we order a bowl of ramen or a plate of sushi, portions are healthy, and can tell each dish is prepared with care and technique. I wish Kojo great success and a long business life :) read more

Amazing sushi and ramen. Everything on the menu is great. Highly recommend the kojo ramen.

I have eaten here several times when passing through town and each time has been a culinary delight. Fresh, authentic, and excellent variety; combined with fun, friendly service. read more

I've gotta hand it to Josh and the team at Kojo - they have not only stepped up the Sushi game to levels I'd expect in bigger cities, but they have exceeded them and done it with a smile on their face. I can't get enough of this spot, so don't ever change Kojo- y'all are perfect just the way you are. read more

I love eat sushi and when I am in Penticton I use to go to this restaurant. They have the Kojo combo that is my favourite dish because there a little bit of everything: miso soup, shrimp tempura some california rolls. The dish is delicious but this time I went with a friend we decided to try a new dish and we eat the party sushi as you can see is a big plate full of 5 different types of rolls! They are all very tasty. There are some spicy rolls! For two persons is exagerated because there are 40 rolls! They also have a catering service and a pick up service. read more

Absolutely STUNNING sushi and sashimi. Here on a vacation from Auckland, New Zealand visiting family and I have never. ever had fresher & delicately prepared sashimi. The sushi rolls and teriyaki chicken bowl my companions ordered looked great too and the food was incredible value for money. Would strongly recommend this cute japanese restaurant in a heartbeat! I just wish I would have taken photos of the food!! read more

Their only saving grace tonight was the Sushi and it was mediocre at best. They used to put pride and detail into their food, but tonight was a real disappointment. Their tempura was heavy and greasy, their Japanese chow mein was pretty bad, lacking flavor and portion size - why use that size of a tray if you are not even going to fill it? Hardly any veggies or chicken and we paid extra for more chicken and it was still lacking with grizzle in nearly every bite. Noodles were undercooked and chewy/starchy. we requested no ginger as I have a mild allergy, but they put it in anyways :( I used to frequent there years ago when I lived in the neighborhood and it was great. Quality has taken a downturn and for 60$ I can't imagine going back for such mundane food. I hope they can pull it back together and be a quality place like they used to be. :( read more

Awesome place. Tempura, ramen, Bento boxes are all very good. Big portions too. Highly recommended.

This is hands down the best place for sushi in Penticton. The fish is always super fresh and the service is always top notch. Highly recommend the KOJO Poké if you like raw fish. It's a must, every time we go there! read more

No so good as food was very salty .Told server only thing he can say was sorry..disappointed will them.

Excellent fresh food. Good variety of sushi. Great bento boxes and poke bowls. Vegan available. Great take out service. They make great party trays-phone ahead. Love the decor and atmosphere and outdoor seating for good weather. Always excellent in summer and winter. No off season here. Wish they were open on Sundays. read more

Sushi equal to or even better than anything you would find in the lower mainland. Try the Poke bowl it is Awesome. Also the soy wrap is is a nice alternative to seaweed on the rolls. read more

Amazing sushi everytime! Always fresh and always delicious. My favourite is the summer and rainbow rolls!!!

My family loves Japanese food & since being on vacation here from Calgary, we have gone to Kojos 5 times! Our kids range from 9-15 and this is their #1 choice to eat out. Fresh wild fish, rolls are rolled perfectly and packed with fresh fish & veggies. Ramen is tasty & filling. Sashimi is fresh & flavorful. Kids trays have rolls and teriyaki chicken and filled up my 9 & 12 yr old. Staff is super friendly & great customer service. Prices were much lower than we expected. Very impressed. I would eat here every day if I could! It's only 2 blocks from Skaha beach so we walk here for lunch. Nice to see a new restaurant right on point here in Penticton. read more

Fantastic and fresh. Better than most sushi available in Vancouver. Worth the drive. Ramen was delicious. Will be back.

Our new favourite sushi restaurant since moving to OK Falls. We usually pickup because the restaurant is quite busy and service could be better. But, the sushi is perfect. Love the spicy tuna rolls. read more

Was craving sushi and was super happy to find this spot! This place is modern and very appealing from outside so I had to try it. The terriyaki chicken bowl is SO GOOD. Highly recommended. The prices are a little bit more than usual sushi prices but the quality is amazing. The staff are awesome and originate from Vancouver as well- no wonder they know their sushi!!! read more
