    Scallop Hand Roll
    Kayla A.

    Driving by while running errands and was craving sushi. Let's be real, when am I not crazing sushi! Grabbed a spot at the sushi bar and ordered a few things to satiate me. Togi was the sweet sushi chef and even though the place wasn't packed, he had plenty to do and did a really good job! I was impressed that they gave you a little platter with all the sauces, including spicy mayo, my personal favorite. The service was very quick, and the food was quite good. I think I may have eaten here before, but I think I got it to go. Definitely a good spot to try if you're in the area !

    Very nice sushi place, service was slightly slow, but sushi was really delicious, there is parking in front of the store, prices were reasonable.

    Cute place for a quick lunch. Staff is always always friendly and professional. Food is done quick.

    Food taste good but it was pricey for the size of thr actual roll and ingredients that went to it. The Koo roll was very refreshing though... if they named the roll after the restaurant thinking it would be their flagship roll... they are not mistaken. It was very unique, the first roll I have eaten without rice. Service was good, pleasant server. They got our order wrong and gave us gyoza instead of the fried oyster. When we returned the gyoza, they said we can have it for free. Talk about customer service

    Sushi koo has evolved. It used to be better. It's still pretty good. It used to be a good value now it's just ok. There are other joints in LA that produce a higher quality product at about the same price. They have spruced the joint up a bit. Same stools around the sushi bar as ever. Quick service.

    I love my spicy tuna tempura rolls!!

    Quadruple the price but not half as good as it used to be. This used to be the affordable sushi spot. I'm talking back in the Sushi Mac days. Rolls were $1.50 when I first started going and it was cash only. There were no fancy rolls, it was just basic and the only apps were edamame. You got up and got your own condiments. Now I understand why the prices had to increase, but why did the food decline? They don't have to worry about me any longer. This was my first time going in years and it will be my last. There is no longer a draw to go if the food is no longer cheap or good.

    I had a great dinner with my son. First of all, the food was simply amazing fresh and perfect presentation I asked the chef(sand dog) what his recommendations were and he prepared us several plates. Every plate was better than the first. Very compassionate chef truly loves his craft...our server was Donna Seems to know all the regular customers perfect customer service made sure we were OK. I totally recommend this place hands-down Koo sushi another place to add to my list of places to go. Priced just right great neighborhood Great ambience parking is free as long as you're gonna eat at the restaurant. No need to pay for valet They'll let you right in for free.

    Great place for sushi and anything to do with sashimi but I think the portion is too small and the price is not. If you go for the taste, just go! But if consider the price too, probably you'll need twice the budget. I ordered a few separate plates and the chef combined everything into the large plate (called family plate or something). What's inside is not the original family plate. I usually spend $25 for a full meal in LA but, here, it's actually like $50 for me alone to get full. The sashimi pieces are pretty small. The poke bowl was also small. The roll, also, very small. They have macaron ice cream in a mango flavor but I think it tastes 100% more like melon. Yuzu drink was good! Free parking! No validation! Restaurant has parking lot which is great considered the area it's in.

The Assorted Sashimi was fun for the two of us to each try 6 premium pieces. Everything tasted fresh and high quality with a different garnish accompanying each piece! The cucumber salad was refreshing and crunchy to munch on in between sushi bites. Their Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice surprised me with an arrangement of flavors and textures that went together magically. I would have gotten a second order if stomach space wasn't a concern. Next we had the Yellowtail Sashimi, which of course had sliced jalapeño on top. I don't care how many restaurants put that out, it's always fantastic. The only roll we got was the Cherry Blossom roll, I was intrigued by the menus indication that it didn't have rice. A large roll with 11 pieces came out that was 95% fish, the remaining 5% being bits of avocado and two sauces that paired exquisitely. It tasted excellent. Our server recommended their Kid Season sake which was exactly what I was looking for: filtered and semi sweet. Highly recommend!

It was definitely not what I've expected or ever experienced in a Japanese restaurant. We were quickly greeted by the staff and be seated by the wall. The upholstery of our seats were torn. The area where we were sitting was a bit too dark and could definitely add more lights for customers to see their menus. After giving a look at the menu, our server asked if we were ready. I said it's our first time so we need some time to look through the menu. She replied ok and left. We mainly ordered sushi items. Servers brought over each item one at a time. When I almost finished mine, my family is still waiting for theirs. You do see the staff walk by the tables constantly. However, I would hope the servers would ask how is everything and if we need anything else. Overall, sushi tastes fine. I probably won't be back given the experience that we had.

The atmosphere is great if you love intimate bar seating, the service is warm and cordial, and the drinks are very good. I also really liked the amount and variety of dishes served outside of the nigiri, so the meal felt substantial and well paced. The food itself was good and well executed, but for the price point, I was hoping for something more memorable or distinctive. A lot of the dishes and flavor profiles felt very familiar and similar to what I've had at many other more traditional omakase experiences. Nothing was bad by any means, but there wasn't a particular bite or flavor combination that surprised me or stayed with me afterward. The second time I came here, they had firefly squid (in season) which was a delight. If you're newer to sushi or omakase, I think this would be a great experience. But if you eat omakase frequently, there are other places around this price point that I think offer something a little more unique or memorable.
