Sushi Ko

This place has been around for over 25 years and it’s still kickin! Very good pricing and the food quality is still up there. The staff is amazingly nice and the menu is huge. Obviously they have all the sushi. But they also have Ramen, udon, katsu, and so much more.

The service was awesome! The squid salad was the best one I’ve ever had! I also thought the miso soup was very flavorful and very large! The Vegas rule was the best biggest role I’ve ever had. It was absolutely delicious. I will be coming back anytime I’m over here.

Food was okay! Enjoyed my sushi but the calamari was pretty flavorless, as was the sauce it came with. There was only one server who really tried his best to accommodate everyone, but the wait time was long. I don’t blame him in any way because he was responsible for bagging door dash orders, the bar, serving all customers, and seating them. I am annoyed that an owner/manager was present and wasn’t really helping him out in any way. Poor kid was extremely overworked and staffing was not balanced. Two guys who made the sushi were standing around chatting, which means there was probably no sushi to be made, but it felt weird seeing staff so chill while their own waiter was fighting for his life to complete all his work.

After talking with my husband, I've changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars. He is the big fan of sushi (I don't love fish in general) and started going to Sushi Ko when they opened. He loves this place!

If your wife is looking for sushi after giving birth at the hospital next door, this is the place. Very fresh and high quality food. Very nice people who work there. Will be returning soon.

Mouth watering! Came here last weekend and came back again this weekend. Everything we tried both times were amazing! The service and food was more than consistent. Very welcoming and friendly restaurant while maintaining an upscale atmosphere. I was able to custom order the seared tuna and it was incredible. The lobster dragon roll was bursting in flavor absolutely my favorite roll.

The service was amazing. We reserved the beautiful, private back room for a family Christmas party. Our waitress and super sweet and fun, we had so much fun with her. They had many Food choices and everything we ordered was superb!

An Intimate setting and a welcoming hostess. Very well prepared tempura which is very crisp on the outside while keeping the insides moist. The sushi has a very good proportion of fish to rice ratio. Delicate to the point that it melts in your mouth. The placement of items on the dishes/table were thoughtful and elegant.

My wife and I had lunch @ Sushi Ko. We both ordered the Sashimi & Tempura combination lunch, added in a Dragon Roll, and a Sapporo beer. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. The dining area was clean and nicely organized with a nice bar and sushi bar. Brittany was our server, she was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Regarding our orders, the sashimi was fresh and the Tempura was very good, and the Dragon Roll was delicious. Plenty of free parking and access is excellent. NOTE: it can be a little hard to spot Sushi Ko from the parking lot as it is tucked back in a courtyard next door to Chompie's and Club Pilates.

It was ok sushi. It was good but I've also had better. We were literally the only ones in the restaurant. It is pretty hidden The scallops on the roll I got were delicious. Very unique roll

We've been going here for years. There have been some staffing changes lately, which is common, but the amount of change in food quality is shocking. The gyoza which has always been our go to starter is either no longer made in house, or has been swapped out with a much lower quality product. :( we've noticed a drop in the fish quality also , which is what good sushi is all about. We'll give it one more try , but after the last 2 visits, our hopes aren't held that high.

When someone mentions Sushi Ko, I get nostalgic. This used to be one of the main sushi places my friends and I would go to, back when we were still in middle school and high school and it's still here over fifteen years later. Someone recently suggested going there for lunch and I said, why not? After looking over the lunch menu, we ordered pan fried gyoza to share, an order of Sushi set B, nabeyaki udon, and tempura udon. The gyoza, a classic one can't go wrong with, was cooked to perfection; crispy on one side. The nigiri part of sushi set B was okay. The fish was of average quality. Unfortunately, neither of us were fans of their California roll. Now for their udon, the noodles themselves had a nice texture, bounce, and chew to them. However, the broth of both of our soups were overly salty for our liking. Overall, the nostalgia was nice but there wasn't anything outstanding about our meal that would make me go out of my way to return any time soon. Not much has changed about this place ambiance wise. The interior is still cozy, intimate and inviting. The service was okay, a bit brash at times.

This place is super cute environment! It is sort of hard to find in the shopping plaza - it's is tucked away in the back! The waitress was super helpful and sweet and I could tell she enjoyed making sure people had a good experience. The food was incredible! I was there for a meeting so the food was ordered for me. I'm not sure what all I ate off the menu but you can see the pictures! We were seated in the back of the restaurant, where there was a private, quiet area for us to have a great meeting!

This place has been around for over 25 years and it's still kickin! Very good pricing and the food quality is still up there. The staff is amazingly nice and the menu is huge. Obviously they have all the sushi. But they also have Ramen, udon, katsu, and so much more.

We've enjoyed Sushi Ko even back when previous owners ran it. It is even better now- the best, freshest and most delicious in town. The chefs are masters and make the experience even more enjoyable when seated at the bar. Their skill is as great as their friendliness. Everyone working there is fully at your service too, with smiles. We like to experiment with both new items we pick but especially 'omakase' style (ask the chef!). Today Chef Mo was at the bar. You'll enjoy all of their menu, especially if you're an adventurous eater.

Still going strong after many years! We've been coming for almost 20 years! Great neighborhood location!

Food was great and the lunch prices are such a good deal! So much quality and tasty sushi for the price! Onto the reason for the low star part: While going there for lunch yesterday with my friend, her 1 year old and my newborn, a cockroach climbed from our booth and onto my child's cart seat that was on my side in the booth... luckily I was holding my son but we all jumped up from the table. They took my car seat and shook the roach into the trash. There was no real recognition of what just happened and no apology. While the food is really good and price was great I don't think I can go back there again... the roach was 1.5 to 2 inches long First time for everything I guess.

Amazing food! The miso soup is so flavorful. We leave extremely satisfied every time! Also great service!

Great service and excellent food. Haven't been here for years but it's still top notch.

Sushi here is decent and the service is good. I've also had a takeout ramen and the way the food was packed was quite good as the soup was separated from the noodles to prevent the noodles from getting soggy. This restaurant has been around for awhile but it looks like the little Japanese restaurants that I've seen when we lived in Tokyo, made me feel like I was back in Japan.

Love this spot one of my favorite sushi spots I've ever been to. I usually sit at the sushi bar and have about 4-5 different rolls some of which aren't on the menu. The service is great and I love being a regular here.

If you enjoy Sushi, don't go anywhere else. By far the best sushi I ve had in my life. The ginger salad to start is amazing. Then a dragon roll followed by scalloped dynamite roll. Wow....... enjoy.

Everything at Sushi Ko has been addressed and will be good to go. Goodluck to the owners and staff!

Sushi Ko has been here longer than I've been to Arizona and their food has been consistent for the past 20 years. While it may not be the best Japanese restaurant in the area, they offer comfort food. I come here to eat once every few years and I noticed their price went up in the past 20 years. (Well not that significantly much but cost of living went up too). Menu has changed a little over the year but some of them are still here. On this particular time, I came here for dinner and had tempura and sashimi dinner. The meal comes with miso soup and cucumber sunomono salad. They put generous amount of tofu, I like miso soup as they helps me feel relaxed. Tempura was cooked perfectly. It always did whenever I had tempura here. Perhaps they still have the same chef in the back? Sashimi was good too. They have nabe (hot pot) on the menu, something they always had from the beginning. When it gets colder outside, it will be a perfect season to enjoy hot pot and I should come back here to try.

Amazing food, amazing service, and overall a great experience. Highly recommend the sushi KO specialties

Overall a great restaurant, very great service and the servers are amazing. The food is also great love everything but my personal is sushico roll. Crazy Ambiance as well perfect for hanging out and chill.

This is my favourite place in Scottsdale !!! Amazing food, the server was really nice! Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back

Awesome place! I eat here very often since moving to AZ. Always extremely clean, staff is friendly and attentive and the food is always amazing and reasonably priced!

if you're looking for a place with GREAT SERVICE AND GREAT QUALITY sushi, this is the spot you want to COME TO! every time I dine in here, the food is AMAZING. Sushi Ko can also host Bday celebrations, private meetings or whatever you feel like celebrating in their private room in the back, just call ahead to reserve. I ordered a couple of trays to go to celebrate a Birthday and not only was it super affordable, it was a SUCCESS! now people won't stop inviting me to their birthday parties! definitely will keep coming back

This is hands down the best sushi in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. I did not say the fanciest. But if you want the absolute freshest fish that is cut properly and sushi rice properly made, this is the the place. The head chef Mo (previous y of Toyomas) is known for his technique and quality.

Being in an inland city in the desert, you might think quality sushi is unavailable. But you'd be wrong. The selections at Sushi Ko were incredible, from the tiny but delicious oysters to the tuna and yellowtail sashimi, from the grilled edamame to the mochi ice cream desserts. Amazing service, great flavor combinations, and beautiful fresh fish.

Sushi Ko has changed. Either owners, or management or both ... it's that or they just don't care anymore. It used to be our Go-To for Sushi, and close to home was a big plus .. but now they seem to want to use the old reputation instead of performing up to or near par and gain their own. it seems they've changed owners and the staff as well. We keep trying, and hoping "this time" will be better, but we feel more & more each time that we are just wasting our money waiting for the day it all goes back to normal. I'm sorry I can't recommend this place anymore. It was a great ride... but we're out.

SushiKo is a decent quality spot for sushi in Phoenix. The nigiri and sashimi quality is mid-grade. Service is great and the whole staff is attentive and very friendly. The other Japanese entree items from the kitchen are worth a try!

The sushi here only ok they don't use gloves when making sushi and touch knives out of a dirty case then make sushi without washing hands or using gloves also wipe hands on a wet towel over and over and the Water they serve tastes like fish were swimming in it disgustingly awful water served they should filter it or bottle it

Very disappointed considering they had a reasonable rating. Place was clean and were not that busy. We ordered appetizers, which didn't come until we were almost done with our meal. The 2 women that were going back and forth seem a bit lost and unsure of our order. Salad dressing was just a glob of who knows what. Good thing our Las Vegas Roll and Katsu Dinner were tasty. You would think they would of comped us for the late appetizer, but to no avail, they even charged us for the spicy mayo, a simple condiment. I would not recommend this place. I had high hope as this was our 1st visit.

Yes, hidden. This petite Japanese restaurant (that also has some great Korean dishes) sits out of sight, but it is worth searching for. We were excited to find another sushi restaurant in the area... this one has more appealing noodle, rice, and meat dishes that appeal to the kids. They even have Shabu Shabu!! A good number of sake choices are available, but I haven't seen a happy hour offered at all. One of our favorite locations will do $1 sake on a happy hour, so maybe just a suggestion for something to add in the future? Although it was a bit pricey, we will be back because there is something on the menu for everyone.

This is a very very nice place to be from the minute you walk in the door you can feel that you're someplace you want to be very well decorated clean beautiful atmosphere smiling staff meet and greet you at the door fresh sushi everywhere a very nice lunch menu that leads right into a beautiful dinner menu They got a room in the back that you can reserve for private meetings and functions The ownership has taking great care in making sure everything you step into their restaurant it's a pleasant experience you will enjoy yourself at all times if you're looking for sushi then go to Sushi Ko you'll never regret a moment there

Low grade quality sushi and extremely overpriced. This is my first and last visit. If you are looking for an authentic tasting sushi restaurant, do not bother coming here. I ordered the dragon roll to go and it was $15.75 + tax, so I ended up paying about $20 including tip for 8 pieces of sushi. The tempura wasn't that crispy and the roll in general didn't taste like anything! The most flavorful thing in the roll was the unagi sauce and it only stood out because it was too sweet. Sauces are supposed to complement, not overpower the dish. I usually order unagi sauce on the side and I'm so glad I forgot because it would have just thrown it away. I'm rating this 2/5 stars because the service was quick and the cashier/hostess was very nice. Plus the roll wasn't extremely horrible but for the price, I definitely expected a bit more.

So glad to have such an awesome local sushi restaurant in the neighborhood. Freshest fish, killer creations, and all the wonderful goodness that captivates and supercharges your taste buds from the 1st bite! SushiKo is one place not to be missed.

i go there for 30 yrs-always perfect-not a usual ca-roll place!!!!nice setting -great menu for non-sushi eater too.

Fantastic food and wonderful service! We recently tried out this hidden gem. Arriving for dinner, we were greeted by the friendly staff and seated immediately. Our server was nice, offered us options for an allergy and coordinated our needs with the chef. Our food came out quickly and was very delicious. As were leaving we meet the owner, Azroy, who was going from table to table with a pitcher of water. What a great guy that cares about his customers! If you want delicious fresh sushi with options, at a great price, and wonderful service, this is your spot!

This was my parents favorite sushi restaurant so I decided to take my mom back for a special treat. We arrived just as they opened and were seated right away but after that things went down hill. The server/hostess was distracted and actually walked away from us as we were ordering to seat another customer! Then our food came out at different times. In fact my mom finished her food by the time I got mine and I was finished when our third guest received his food. This is inexcusable! When asked about the problem we were told online orders caused the issue. Again, inexcusable! The order was taken and should have received the same care assembling it as the online order. Surely they didn't have to come back three times to get their three meals! My mom enjoyed her meal, mine was gross, and the third meal was good but they served his soup and soba noodles together (and after we were finished) so half was cold. I still gave four stars because the place looks lovely, I may have ordered wrong, and the service/kitchen issues may be a one off issue. We will try a

Still the best and most authentic sushi restaurant in the Valley. Small, intimate, and authentic. Weekend nights are busy, so call ahead of time!!! Ask what's fresh and/or "just in". Dai-san is a master.

We had a fabulous experience at this beautifully decorated restaurant! The food was unbelievable. We sat at the sushi bar and Chef Momo was incredible to watch as he delivered countless delectable creations. He asked us what we liked and even customized some rolls for us, which were to die for. The serving staff was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Sushi Ko is our go-to restaurant for sushi. Everything is fresh as it must be, tasty and nicely presented. It is close to our home, making it a convenient choice. We have also used their private room for a small birthday celebration. This room has a private entrance making it feel more exclusive and pleasant. We recommend Sushi Ko for its service and good food!

Hidden in the corner of a strip mall. Very good service. Small but nice bar area. Had sushi special - it was very good. My wife wanted a sushi roll that wasn't on the menu but chef made it gladly. It was great. Beautiful small private dining room in back. Also have kitchen for tempura, etc. We will try that for a lunch next time.

I love Sushi Ko! The whole staff is so kind and friendly that they feel like my local family! And the food and prices are to die for! We go here every week for the lunch special and always get the same thing--it's that good! Not only is the sushi delicious, but their entrees such as grilled salmon over rice or their gyoza are amazing and very authentic to our experiences in Japan. Go here for a little slice of heaven!

Great service but unfortunately the fish was not great. We got lunch specials consisting of chirashi and sushi combo B which were edible, but not fresh. The California rolls were fine. Miso soup was good. Sunomono was too sweet. I would go elsewhere if you know what sushi and sashimi are supposed to taste like. Didn't try any cooked entrees so can't comment on those.

Had sushi for lunch and it was excellent! I like the layout of the restaurant itself, its small, laid back and very cozy. The waitress was super sweet, she was checking on us couple times during our lunch to make sure that everything was fine. We had the sushi lunch special for $10.99 and came with cucumber salad and miso soup. (Wasn't crazy about the cucumber salad, but loved the miso soup). There was generous amount of sushi, very fresh, excellent and the best in Scottsdale! I will definitely recommend this place to our friends and we will comeback very soon! Thank you Sushi Ko, ありがとうございました Arigatōgozaimashita

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can't wait to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Scottsdale. I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.

I really enjoyed the lunch specials they offered simple yet very filling and delicious. I ended up getting the teriyaki salmon for lunch with spicy tuna bowl. It was enough food for two meals that I took some home and had it for dinner. But along with the lunch special you get fresh gyoza and the best miso soup I've ever had. Spice tuna bowl was very fresh and delicious, I do wish it had a little more that just rice and spicy tuna with a tiny speck of wasabi in the middle, some cucumber some avocado perhaps? But oh well great deal and still very tasty all for under $12. They were very attentive and polite, I was playing my video game at the table/ reading/ enjoying my day off and didn't feel rushed to leave, which is really important to me.

Sushi ko is an amazing little local sushi place. They tend to have some of the best fish/ sushi and cooked meals. Traditional Japanese. The service is also very good. I've been going here along time and it is a great spot . :)

Nope. They lost me. Our sever made more mistakes than correct ones. Was a frequent visitor over 18+ years. Sad.. this place used to be so good. Sushi was ok... but service was laughable. Server blaming and arguing with other personnel... multiple repeated requests for service items, delivering incorrect food, multiple times. 25 bucks for a mealy price of sea bass and flavorless mushrooms. It really felt like they don't care any more. Mo where are you???

Not impressed. Food underwhelming. Told us it was " last call" at 7:45pm on a Saturday night. Felt rushed entire meal.

The fish was fantastic and, equally important, the sushi rice was seasoned perfectly. I'm not so sure why it took me forever to try this place, but it will now be my go-to sushi restaurant. They were very busy so service was a bit slow, but nothing that would stop me from returning. They were also very apologetic for any delay. Really, skip the overly fancy places in town- this place has the best-tasting sushi.

I've been to the top Sushi restaurants in Orange County. This little gem is as good or better, with fair and moderate pricing I highly recommend

Amazingly nice little Sushi place . Beautiful atmosphere, friendly staffs and delicious food . Worth driving to . Highly recommended !! Thank you for the amazing experience .
