OMG. This is place has the most outstanding freshest delicious sushi I have ever had!!!!! We ordered dynamite roll and turtle bay roll. I was in heaven! Also had the gyoza they clearly make it from scratch! Or it is a damn good ready made one!! The seaweed salad was first rate fresh. Most seaweed salads other places are slimy weird tasting ! Not this one!!! Fresh clean taste! Will definitely be back. Only complaint I have is you cannot always order takeout. read more

Come for sushi, stay for Jen. The very best service on the beach - or anywhere! Fresh, creative, flavorful and unique rolls and apps. Can't stop thinking about the crab and tuna with chips. So delicious, light, and tasty! The gyoza with ponzu(?) sauce are incredible - so good we ordered another as soon as we finished our first order! So the food is delicious but it's the service that is truly remarkable! Jen remembered us from our visits a year ago! That's outstanding service and is so appreciated. We'll be back again soon! read more

My wife and I just moved to the area and we were so happy we found a sushi place nearby, but we did not expect this! Sushi Is our favorite and we lived in baltimore and throughout the east for many years, this is definitely a top quality place, with small town charm and comfortability, and great prices. The owners are lovely, the servers are knowledgeable, and overall an incredible sushi experience you should not miss. Get the sashimi shots! read more

Best sushi restaurant around. We love it there! Great and hospitable staff. We will be back again soon! read more

The food at this restaurant has always been excellent. We usually have Wesley as our server and he is top notch. Last night we were seated on the other side of the restaurant and had an idiot for a server. She served my wif'e salad and main course simultaneously and brought her appetizer 5 minutes later. This idiot is destined to be in Congress. I waited for 15 minutes for my appetizer and another 20 for my main course. Never again! read more

This is my go to sushi place! The service is top notch and the sushi is consistently fresh and delicious! It gets crazy crowded but it's always worth the wait! read more

Wow! Every time we're at the beach, we always make a visit to get some sushi. This place is a gem!

Excellent sushi and related foods at this Japanese restaurant. Very nice service and a delicious assortment of options. Don't judge a book by its cover. Even though the frontage looks a bit run down, The offerings are as good as anything you could find in Washington DC. Excellent service too. We had an assortment of sushi, the cauliflower (v good), miso soups, edamame, and dumplings. Really hit the spot and would happily return. Decor is nothing to write home about but not necessarily ugly either. read more

This restaurant doesn't look too large from the outside but it has plentiful seating inside. We had a 5 minute wait before seating. The restaurant was quite full with diners. Our first visit tonight did not disappoint. Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Having so many choices on their menu my dining companion and I over ordered for sure.we started with Hot green tea. For appys we had the tempura green beans which came with a wasabi ranch dipping sauce l. It was delicious! Also had the edamame tempura plate which included veggies , shrimp and a crab stick. This was also very tasty. For rolls I ordered the Philly(smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber), Shrimp Tempura roll, and the Kilauea roll(lump crabneat, tempura crunchies, cucumber, topped with fresh spicy tuna). This last roll was really delicious and I am happy I ordered. We finished with the banana tempura dessert which was very good . They open later in the day and are closed a few days a week. Definitely worth the wait! read more

Very disappointed in their attitude. Clearly stated we had a service dog and offered to show ID Card. The hostess mumbled under her breath and gave us dirty looks, very unhappy. We left without being seated as I'm not giving good money where we are not welcomed. read more

Sushi was excellent, best we've had in the DE beach area. Sashimi was fresh, special roll was also very tasty.

Insane and amazing. Authentic Japanese sushi! Do not miss this spot. beautifully created dishes that cannot be duplicated anywhere in the area read more

Shhhh. Don't tell anyone else! The best sushi around! We always look forward to the 2 chefs' specials...we love Cocolo!

Took an hour putting together a To-go order for our group as it states takeout is offered only to call and find out they won't do carry out. So your full with reservations and you won't do carry out. Even Misaki does carry out during peak season. I'll never try this place again read more

First of all, you can't call me a sushi expert by any means. I see sushi, I eat it, I like it. But that aside, even I could tell that this was some top-notch sushi. My friend and I shared four different rolls. I can't remember which ones they were and one was a daily special, but they were all delicious. Our server gave some great recommendations and he was really cool. Prices seem to be what you'd expect for a sushi place in a touristy area. The place itself is pretty small and the food took a while to get there. We weren't in any hurry so it was no big deal, but this isn't the place to go if you have somewhere to be afterwards. The atmosphere is nice for being a little place inside a strip mall. It wasn't super loud and the restaurant and bathrooms were nice and clean. If you're in the Bethany/Ocean View area and craving sushi, there's no need to fight through the Ocean City traffic to get to one of the sushi places down there. I'd definitely come back here again. read more

The service experience by the hostess at this restaurant was HIGHLY unprofessional. Upon arrival, I inquired about the wait time, and the hostess seemed to discourage us from dining there from the start. Despite several available tables, she informed us that the wait would exceed an hour, and that food preparation would also take an additional hour. The restaurant was set to close in an hour so this made no sense. When I offered that we would sit at any table and didn't have a preference, her response was notably rude. As we waited, more tables became available. We were the only people waiting at that point so my fiancé approached the hostess to check on the wait time. She responded curtly, reiterating that she had already told me it would be an hour. We were taken aback by her lack of professionalism and, feeling unwelcome, decided to leave. We chose to dine at Masaki in South Bethany instead, where we had an excellent experience with attentive and accommodating staff. Based on our experience at Cocolo, we will not be returning. I would advise others to consider alternative dining options as well if you don't want to encounter a rude hostess that will put an unnecessary damper on your night. read more

best sushi by far at the beach. closely resembles NYC sushi. great service, fresh fish, and creative rolls.

Very tasty Sushi n Sashimi; good quality and color - very important in the Sushi world!

We went on Saturday night but turned back with an hour wait, then we went Tuesday and had much better luck. We were seated right away at the bar. We got the chicken katsu which was pretty thick for katsu, but still delicious and crispy. The Philly roll was excellent! We also got a Dynamite roll with crab on it. The crab was really good quality. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area craving sushi. You can call when the restaurant is open and try to make a reservation. If you have a larger party or want to go on the weekend, I would say get a reservation if you can. read more

Always good...always great service! Cocolo Sushi is a real treat! One of our area's best sushi restaurants.

Cocolo on Garfield Blvd is our go to Restaurant for sushi. We've eaten there numerous times and each meal has been wonderful but last Thursday, the Chef, Yama (?), prepared a really special dish which was served on ceramic spoons. Each spoon had a different fish and incredible sauce. I would tell the him that he should do that offering every week. It was so wonderful. We also had our normal red dragon and one other rolls which was as good. We also had the shami which are shrimp rolls that is to die for. Both Jen and Wes are the best serving staff bar none. They've changed their hours for off-season to be open on Wednesday Thursday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday no longer are Tuesday available. We love this place and we are always treated well by Miuki, who works the desk and reservations. The place to go for real Japanese food! read more

Excellent food and service. Ambience is average. Right now the best Sushi I have had in the OC, Fenwick, Bethany, Dewy and Rehobeth area.

Cocolo is some of the best sushi I have ever had and I've dined at a lot of sushi restaurants. I didn't expect to find sushi this good in Ocean View DE. The service is equally as good and knowledgeable about the chef's specials and sushi in general. read more

Finally had dinner here after walking past this place for years--and loved it! The front of the restaurant is deceiving, but the inside was great! The tuna & chips appetizer was amazing, and the rolls we ordered as our entrées were huge. Definitely a good amount of food for the price. We'll definitely be back here, but an important note: no takeout orders! read more

I was so pleasantly surprised by this small restaurant in Bethany! I was seated at some type of community style table by the sushi chefs. It was really cool since I could watch them prepare! I ordered the sashimi sampler, spicy tuna roll, and philly roll. The fish was FRESH. However, I felt like the size of the rolls was on the small side. Still delicious regardless. A++ To our waitress. Her service was on point and so pleasant. read more

By far the best Sushi on the Delmarva Peninsula. The daily specials are amazing. If you go the Firecracker Roll is a must. I highly recommend Cocolo. read more

Never had a bad meal there. Probably the best Sushi bar in the area. Good service and a great chef and staff.

I loved it. Great sushi and ambience. I sat at the bar and had a great conversation with Yama-san. Made me a little homesick

One doesn't usually think sushi when enjoying the sun and surf on the Delmarva peninsula. It is usually blue crab covered in old bay and a case of middling beer. But there is a hidden gem on RT 26 just a few blocks west of the Bethany Beach boardwalk. You have to look closely or you might blow by the entrance. As a landmark, it is the very next business past the Wawa convenience store. First impression, wow! they are so polite and friendly from the moment you open the door. You have a choice of sitting at the sushi bar or a selection of both high top and regular tables. Tables are well spaced so it is very easy to carry on conversations without shouting. Service. The place is small so i don't usually see more than 2 servers working but there is always the host popping around to make sure drinks are full and helping clear and occasionally drop off an order. This type of teamwork makes each guest feel well cared for even when they are very busy. Drink. lovely selection of warm and cold saki. Servers are knowledgeable on the entire list and have an excellent pairing sense. We did not drink from the bar cocktail list but the variety of liquor is brand name and top shelf. I saved Chef Yama for last because, lets face it, its sushi and it all about the product and the preparation. Some of the most creative unique dishes come at you in wonderful presentation, both visually and taste. Here is the key, what ever the Chef Yama is making special that night is what you should always try. Both the appetizers and the sushi will be fresh caught and treated with love and attention that is hard to match. The really cool thing about Yama is that he is mentoring another great young Chef (Lucas) each night. There seems to be a friendly competition between master and student to create the most popular special on any given evening. These are not spicy tuna hand rolls or a flourish on a California roll but rather delicate blends of fresh veggies tucked in with a wide and varied local delicacies. Deconstructed rolls served in miso soup spoon topped with quality caviar, or a giant scallop medallion "cooked" ceviche style with citrus will make your night. If it is not packed, always ask your server if Chef has anything we must try. Getting in...in season, it can be a wait, but all good sushi should be. The hours are early enough that you could sneak in before the rush. Make time for at least one visit on your trip to the shore. You will make at least 2 visits on your next trip. Enjoy read more

Amazing sushi ! Been here twice and this will be a go to place for us . It replaces the two other places in Rehoboth we frequented. Couldn't be fresher and presented with such style ! Even under pressure, the staff is amazing - they work very well together as a team . Their sake selection is also good with a specialty sake drink made in house . Try a sake flight - such fun !! Well done !! read more

This unexpected gem is in a shopping center next to a Wawa about 5 minutes from downtown Bethany. We've now become big fans and visit every year we come To the beach. Great sushi, committed and very friendly staff (we've had the same server for 4 years which is rare in the food industry) and the most interesting sake selection I've come across in a while. Owner has special cans imported from Japan. Loved the yellow can and blue can. Wish i knew more about what the can says.... Overall Highly recommend. read more

This place is hidden gem at DE beach. Every time we go there we are shocked that this tiny inconspicuous Japanese joint exists in countryside beach. Menus are as authentic as they can be and Everything we ordered were very fresh. Especially Mebachi Tuna was so delicious you can't go back to eat yellow fin tuna anymore. Wes, the server was very attentive that makes you think he were watching us from tiny hole behind the wall. We are definitely going back to this joint again whenever we have a chance to go this area. read more

Got to the restaurant at 8, and did not get our food until after 9 o'clock pm. The service was non existent. Our server just stopped coming to our table, and the hostess had to serve us. We ended up just getting our food to-go because we were waiting a ridiculous amount of time. Also, the sushi rolls were very poorly sized and were half decent at best. read more
