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.

I love Koji as an option for a lunch in Countryside Village - the restaurant is often quite empty…read morebut I feel that adds to the appeal to me as it is a quiet environment where you can really appreciate the food. This time around, we had the Koji Q and the Gyoza Empire in addition to some sushi rolls and those may be some of my new favorites here. The sauce of the Gyoza Empire was just so tasty I could have had it as a soup. Highly recommend!

I started with a carrot dressing salad that was simple but good. Our chef was funny and kept us entertained with great banter throughout the meal. I ordered filet and chicken with fried rice, and my only complaint was that it was very salty. It may have been the teriyaki on the chicken, but it was noticeably salty. Overall, it was a nice meal and time well spent with friends. Just a heads up, you will smell like a hibachi grill the moment you leave, so be prepared to wash your clothes and coat right away.

My favorite Ramen spot ever, especially on rainy days. My husband gets the Tonkotsu Ramen, and I…read moreget the Tan Tan Ramen, each with Ni-Tamago. I rarely see a Tan Tan Ramen on menus. Be prepared to wait for your food. Good ramen is made to order, so it is not immediately served. If the restaurant is busy, be prepared to wait even longer, but it is worth the wait. The price is incredibly reasonable considering lower quality ramen in the Omaha area is charging upwards of $17 dollars a bowl. The Kara-Age is delicious, and even the spicy tuna roll (a guilty pleasure of mine) is good. The Ambiance is simple and clean. I would recommend it to anyone wanting quality ramen without all the Anime themes and dusty Tchotchkes littering every wall.

We have been coming here for a good while, always loved coming. Good food, good atmosphere and…read moremajority of the time great customer service. Except this time. My partner and I walked in looking forward to everything, once we had been sat down by the hostess we were ignored by our waitress Cheyenne. She didn't greet us for almost 10 minutes and our hostess even got us our waters and apologized for the time she had been taking so long. Once she got our order moments afterwards another 10-15 minutes go by until we got our delicious food (served yet again by our hostess and not the waitress.) but during that time our waitress was happily serving the other guests and got their drinks before us. While we were eating our food, I noticed she didn't bother to stop by our table to see how we were doing or ask about our food. She went to the other tables she had and asked them, got them refills and other things they have mentioned. I tried to make eye contact but she would ignore my eyes when we locked, even eyeballed our table and still didn't talk to us. Towards the end I noticed the hostess and our waitress talking and looking at us (assuming the hostess said something to her about us being finished with our food.) She then came to our table saying "I see you guys are full, here are your double deep fried Oreos" and passes off the check. When we gave her the card to pay for she then realized she had forgotten our drinks. which I do appreciate she comped our appetizer, gave us a discount and then made my drink (not her but yet again the hostess.) Did not appreciate the baby talk when she was talking though saying "I am so sowy" and etc. I don't know if this was intentional or not but this was an upsetting experience.

We enjoyed the upbeat music and the Japanese decor; some of items can be purchased. We started out with the Takoyaki (Octopus) appetizer and was pleasantly surprised, it had the right amount of outside crispiness and softness inside; 5 out of 5 stars. I then had the garlic tonkatsu with 2 slices of pork chashu, marinated egg, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, scallions, garlic flakes, and nori (seaweed) paper. The base and noodles was good but the meat was hard and not melts in your mouth soft. The noodles wasn't freshly made and I chewed on a solid ramen clump. My star rating is based on the inland location or it'd be 3 stars in other states. Tip: They offer Military discount.

A fun teppanyaki spot near Village Pointe, and a great pick for a special occasion. We went for…read moreFather's Day and really enjoyed it. A few things to know before you go: reservations are required and the process is a little more involved than usual since you fill out a form and wait to hear back, so plan ahead. Also, since they seat a full table at a time, your actual seating may be a bit later than your reservation time. Worth checking their website, Facebook, or Instagram before you go too as they occasionally post coupons. Just make sure to mention it to your server before they ring you up. For food, the salmon and shrimp were the highlights for us. Shrimp comes as a starter for the table, but I ordered extra as part of my combo and it was worth it. The steak was fine, but not the standout in steakhouse country. Fried rice is an extra $4, which is reasonable given how good it is. Kids meals at $12 are a solid deal since they come with soup, salad, and rice. The spicy mustard dipping sauce and their spiciest sauce were both great. Our cook was friendly and engaging without overdoing it, which is the right call for teppanyaki. Prices were fair overall and the location is a bonus since Fat Brain Toys is right next door if you want to browse before or after with kids.

The interior is well done in a Japanese style, as you would expect. It is not too packed. The prices are high for it to be a routine eatery ($80+ for 2 w/o alcohol), but the food is outstanding!
