Hey, you do you - you can run your business the way you want. But then I've got the right to be disappointed when a beach town restaurant closes at 9pm and doesn't do takeout orders during the peak of the high season. read more

I would generally only review the food, however the owner totally will Lie about reservations. I called at 6pm to see if they can handle a party of 2. she said no wait and they don't take reservations. I show up 15 minutes later with my wife and told we have to wait 30 minutes because they are expecting a party to sit at the bar. we won't be back. read more

Loved this place. The waitress was amazing and the price you pay represents the quality of the food. When we went there was a chef special that had pine apple in it and it was amazing. One person in our party had allergies and the chef was easily able to work around it. read more

We had 3 different rolls. All were quite good but so so small! I've never see rolls so skinny and we have had sushi from lots of places in lots of places. And a very small portion of miso. Good quality but dissapointing portions. read more

Good sushi is hard to come by. But cocolo sushi IS one of those good places. I went here for dinner on a Friday night and had a wonderful meal with my mother. Our waitress was attentive, polite, and engaged in conversation with us. The manager/owner also came to check on us twice during the meal! We ordered the lump California roll and their special of the night roll which was tempura shrimp with salmon and crab on top. Both very tasty. The only complaint I would have would be that the rolls were small in size. Very good, but small. The two of us could have eaten another roll for sure. They also had Kirin on draft (usually you just get a bottle of it) and had a great dessert menu. So I got two beers, edamame, two rolls, and a dessert and our total was around $45 dollars. Without the beer, you are talking just around $35. That's a deal. I will be going back soon. 5 STARS!! read more

Some of the best sushi around. We love when they have toro and we always get the fresh wasabi which I have found hard to find. Service is always good and it's a nice spot for a private dinner for two or a group of friends. read more

Always great food and excellent service. I particularly enjoy the Spider Roll and the eel. Highly recommend this restaurant

Returned back for their off season special of $5 rolls and 1/2 price bottle of wine Drinks: Kirin draft beer Sean Minor Pinot Noir Appetizers: Karaage chicken - has a little kick to them Gyoza Tuna & chips - the chips were crispy since they use fried wonton skins and the tuna is mixed with crab meat Rolls: OC topped with lumped crab meat Dynamic Tuna roll Spicy tuna Mexican California rolls All the rolls were fresh and tasty, the special is for another two weeks only (on Tuesdays, they have $5 appetizers) read more

We were shocked at how amazing this little, tucked away Sushi spot at Bethany Beach is! Everything Wes recommended was great! A perfect bottle of Pinot Noir as well! We will be back a lot! read more

I'm super picky about my sushi and this is without a doubt every bit as good (or better!) than Nobu in Manhattan!! Incredible service (Wes is the man!) and the Japanese chef owner and his wife are the BEST!! I'm beyond grateful this outstanding restaurant is walking distance from my house!! read more

Cocolo Sushi is the best authentic sushi restaurant in Delaware. We originated in Connecticut where we had exposure to good sushi restaurants in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. When we found Cocolo Sushi, we felt as if we were home in an authentic Japanese restaurant. The restaurant is small but laid out well and the sushi stove is visible from all seats. There are specials every single day and each one is more interesting and tasty. The fish that is available is always very fresh and very flavorful and the rolls that are available are extensive. this is Our go to Restaurant at least once a week. We could not recommend it more highly. The service staff is exceptional between Wes and Jen who know the menu exceptionally well, always make us very comfortable when we are there. During season reservations are very tough to obtain but interestingly enough they do have walk-in for a limited few tables but best to get to the restaurant very early when it opens at 4:30. Come be greeted by Mioki who works reservations and seating. You won't be disappointed. read more

Best food and service in town especially Jen & Will. Awesome sushi & lettuce wraps love

Ordered the North Shore and Bethany rolls for carry out. They were incredibly small. Doesn't look like anything they post on their Facebook page. Wouldn't order again read more

having insured and visited Syshi restaurants for 40 years, it's one of the best. it's fresh, well prepared and tasty. most poor reviews come from waiting. since it's prepared after ordering there will be a wait you are in a busy ,beach , environment. relax, enjoy or come early. it's a treat. read more

Good food at the beaches of DE is hard to find and this place wasn't bad. Service was good. I thought the temp inside could've been cooler considering it is a sushi joint. I don't like to eat sushi in a stuffy room. It should be cold .. just my opinion. read more

The sushi here is very good, but the rolls here are extremely small. So small that we almost felt like we were getting a bad deal. The sushi was normal prices for the area which is a little expensive but if you want sushi expect to pay up. The quality of the fish was very good which is why I put the review to 4 stars. We had one piece of fish that was fishy but not enough to turn us off. We had a very good server but other than her the place even though beautiful and brand new, was a little emotionless. The place however was spotless and clean. So clean that you could eat off the floor. No...really...I did eat off the floor when i dropped some of my fish. I didn't even care since this place is so clean. I'm sad to say that we probably won't be coming back here mostly due to the size of the rolls. I understand maximizing profit but rice isn't too expensive. Just put more on each roll to fill me up. I had the sushi AND sashimi platter and was still hungry. I'm glad I tried this place and hope they do well but it is not good value and there is slightly better quality at other places. read more

Best sushi!!! Love the daily specials...we often get more than one. It beats top restaurants in NYC, Seattle, San Fran. What a special place to have in Bethany Beach!! read more

Took over an hour to make us sushi. The place has about 6 tables and they still can't serve in a timely manner.

Absolutely amazing! We are not from the area and wanted to try sushi from here especially if it featured fresh crab (a rarity in our native New England). Wait staff was incredibly nice and welcoming. Our server was attentive and walked us through the menu and specials. He was personable and offered his opinions on the dishes but never pushed anything on us. We started with shrimp shumai and the poke. The server offered us the wonton chips since we were debating on other apps that had it but the poke did not. A nice little gesture. The fish in the poke was incredibly fresh with great flavor. The shumai tasted homemade and had a nice oil based dip alongside. For our meal we went with some of their signature rolls and a couple of nigiri pieces. Our server was able to accommodate a special request and get jalapenos on exactly half of one of the rolls. Another nice gesture that shows that this place puts customers first. As for the rolls themselves, we shared a few special rolls as well as their popular dynamite roll with fresh crab on top. Needless to say we were very satisfied with all of the rolls we chose. I don't recall the names but I really enjoyed the one that featured eel on top and shrimp tempura in the center. The dynamite roll was also a favorite of ours. So much so that we had to order another one before we left. All in all I wish we lived closer just to have this all of the time. This is honestly some of the best sushi I've had in a casual setting. Many reviews I've noticed complained about the size of the sushi pieces. Our nigiri pieces were appropriate sizes (as well as delicious). I will say the rolls themselves are a bit on the small side but that allows you to try different rolls and dishes and to also truly taste the quality of the fish and other ingredients. When sushi restaurants offer large rolls they are usually packed with cheaper fish and surrounding by lots of low quality rice. As someone who has eaten a lot of sushi, both affordable and high end, I'll just say that this is a really special place. The chefs (and staff) clearly care about their products and their patrons. read more

Absolutely amazing. I would have never found this place until someone suggested it and it was so special. The wait staff was kind, had wonderful suggestions, made sure I had a lovely time. I will absolutely be back! read more

We ordered sushi from Cocolo this evening and were disappointed by the serving size to price ratio. The dynamite rolls (2 pictured) were very small with majority rice. The other two rolls pictured were more reasonably sized. We paid $49 total for this dinner and the chicken appetizer. Overall the flavor was good but because the portions were so off we won't be returning. read more

Fabulous dinner by a foremost sushi chef in a warm atmosphere and attentive staff. Can say enough about how good this was !

The best sushi restaurant in Bethany Beach. Great food and service. We had an excellent dinner.

This is an exceptional sushi restaurant! My family and I have been twice and have greatly enjoyed the top notch service and excellent sushi.

I have to admit this is my favorite sushi spot right now ( used to be flying fish ) everything they serve here is fresh. It's a mom & pop type place so you know their into quality. The place is super clean, tranquil & Trendy. I love the huge stained wood table instead of a traditional sushi bar.. honestly I can't decide who's fish/rolls are actually better between here & flying fish; however the ambience & great attitude of the owners Yama & his wife Miuki set this place above the rest 6 stars read more

I am a sushi snob, educated by a true Japanese trained sushi chef. Since moving to Delaware in august, we have been trying to locate great sushi, and finally found it!! Small place so reservations required. Special roll was fabulous and I highly recommend the seared tuna with Avocado salad. It's a solid 50 minutes away, but totally worth it! Can't wait to return!!'n read more

The food is fantastic. Service great. A must stop. Probably the best sushi in lower delaware

The lines at the restaurants across the street were 1+ hour wait on a Saturday night. The friends we were visiting never "did" Sushi. We noted this place across the street & decided to Guide them into the SUSHI experience. This place was a nice find - we are from the San Francisco Bay Area & great SUSHI is everywhere. Friendly greeted - all tables filled so decided the BAR area - which is very roomy. The Sushi was very good - and our friends delved into some of the "less fish relevant" Sushi - like Tempura, Miso Soup, Unagi, etc ... to START. Then we coaxed them into things like Tobiko. They really liked their first SUSHI experience. (Our observations though: Kind of Pricey - Tekka Maki was very "small", the Unagi was sort of cold when it came, the service in between orders seemed to take a long time - longer than we're used to, even though by that time there were very few patrons.) Our friends liked it so much that they said they'd return with the menu that we noted the items we had that night. Good find ! read more

We are from the DC area and have to admit that this is the best sushi we've had. Every one of the special rolls is better than the next. And, you can never go wrong with any of the nightly specials. The fish is the freshest. Creative combinations allow the layers of flavors to come through in every bite. The Chefs are experienced and the wait staff is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. read more

Our favorite sushi place. Quaint place with great service and specials. Always a pleaser to eat in. Watch as they make your sushi before your eyes. Always fresh. Always had great meals. Love this place read more
