    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.

It was 6:40 pm on a Sunday and the restaurant seems full. The ambience is cute inside. There are only two Japanese waiters speaking in broken English. Upon sitting, it took 15 min for anyone to come by to take the order. Then it took another 20 min & multiple asks to get the beer that was ordered. No water provided the whole time. The udon came out another 20 min later. Followed by takoyaki in another 5 min. Finished food in 10 min and paid and left. Since there was nothing to do for a good 35 min, I was observing other customers. There was no easy way to quickly input orders. There was no fast way to pay and leave. The two overworked servers had to wait one by one to take orders and pay. There was absolutely no order or ways to keep track who came first or last (the table after me finished eating before I got my beer). Speaking do the food, the #1 spicy niku udon was so salty that there's no way to drink any of the soup. Since there's no complimentary water serves, I dumped an entire bottle of my own water to be able to eat it. There were maybe a few slices of beef at most. Definitely not a yummy udon. Best part was takoyaki - I have to say this is the best thing I've had in the restaurant. Ultimately, I concur with the recent reviews - this is not a real 4-star place.

Definitely a good spot for a date night. I was craving some yakitori, so we ordered a bunch of different ones including Negima, Gizzard, Tsukune, Wings, Chicken Thigh, Liver, Hearts, and Cartilage. All the yakitori was cooked to order and everything came out really good. We also had the Hokkaido Scallops & Sweet Shrimp Crudo, which was delicious. For sushi, I ordered some nigiri including Scallop, Salmon Belly, Bluefin Toro, and Kanpachi, plus the King Tuna Roll. I have to say everything tasted pretty good. I honestly came in thinking it was going to be just okay, but I was pleasantly surprised and ended up really enjoying everything we ordered. Overall, the food was good and the atmosphere was nice and intimate. I'd definitely come back, especially for the yakitori. Great little spot for a date night if you're around The Grove.

Outdoor consists of the sidewalk & a sectioned off patio section. I liked the dark ambiance, it felt very romantic. The lighting was very intimate. A waitress came, got our drink orders and we ordered the duck breast as an appetizer. We got our drinks, which the tall glass is very misleading as I felt like I barely sipped anything and it was GONE, lol. I ordered the watermelon drink and it was tasty, I just wanted watermelon water anyways. It came with a watermelon slice which was nice. After the drinks we were WAITING idk how long until a different waitress came and took our order ?? We put in our entree, received them & never got our appetizer. We were waiting a long time for someone else to come by. I ordered the seared kanpachi jalapeño roll, which 10/10!! it was flavorful, had the spice & felt fresh. I didn't have to add anything like soy sauce to it. I just eat all my sushi with ginger and it paired great with it. Finally someone showed up & we said we ordered a duck breast appetizer with the first waitress, which was never put in. So the second waitress went ahead and put it in. The duck breast has an interesting texture. I can't explain it. I did not like the texture. The flavor was fine but the texture really threw me off personally. Kind of reminded me of pâté cat food, it felt like how paté cat food looks if that makes sense. Texture wise. Overall, service was trash. The waitresses were both unfriendly, but I guess that's just LA customer service nowadays. We waited forever. Spent more time waiting rather than eating. Valet or street metered parking. Restrooms in the back, 2 single unisex stalls.
