Very good sushi to go. I came here when I needed a quick meal before a trade show and it did not disappoint. I recommend beating the lunch crowd if you can. read more

The best budget sushi in Charlotte! The person working the front cash register was very friendly and was even insisted on remaking my crunchy roll because I showed up fairly late past my pick up time. read more

This is really good sushi for a takeout place! The sushi tastes just as good if not better than fancy sit-down restaurants. I usually just walk in the store and order, and it usually takes around 10 minutes to prepare it, similar to other takeout joints. I am a huge fan of their special Fireworks rolls. It's got so many fresh, good ingredients, such as tempura shrimp, cucumber, other fish (I can't remember), and thick, grilled tuna wrapped around the sushi rice, topped off with their sweet soy sauce! It's very rich and full of unique flavors. Also, try their octopus salad. It's a good compliment with your sushi. I would also recommend their Charlotte or K.O. combo which includes nigiri. For the quality and price, it is a great value I have not tried their "hot" food yet, such as udon or hasaki plates, but I will keep you all posted. read more

Recently opened sushi take-out/delivery place offers freshly made sushi at a good price. It has all the common sushi selection and the service is fast. I called in my order and it was ready in 5 minutes. I had the combo #6 for $10 (8 pieces of sushi of your choice). I had Salmon, Yellow Tail, White Tuna and Spicy Tuna. Slices were generous and the fishes were fresh. It's such a great bargain. I will definitely come back again. read more

Stop the rice madness! Too much rice on these rolls. Looks like you guys are now rotating 3 pieces of the lunchbox so that all pieces can fit because the rolls are too big. read more

This is a no frills sushi place. They are primarily a take-out or delivery sushi place. There are two small stools near a counter window if you're really needing to stay. The menu is pretty limited to the mainstays of the American sushi scene. Don't expect anything fancy on it. Their seaweed salad was priced cheaper than I expected but somehow it had a salty taste, just slightly, it threw me off as odd. The calamari salad was also cheap and tasted very good. I tried some of the salmon and yellowtail rolls as well as ordered a sushi of salmon and yellowtail. At first I thought the price of the sushi was kinda high for a single piece; $2.50 But when I saw the sushi, the fish was a big piece, so I was much happier with the price. Both the sushi pieces tasted better than the rolls to me. Next time I'm just going to order straight up sushi and not the rolls. I will say the maki rolls were decent sized in diameter, certainly not your smaller variety. Quality was OK to good. I think their fish is reasonably fresh. They do focus on the mainstays, so they try not to have much to carryover. In fact, I think I noticed they have a 50% discount after a certain time...was it 3 pm? of any fish left in the cooler, so that they do get a good turnaround. Overall, I'd say good in a pinch. I'd put it on par as freshly made grocery store sushi. Which is definitely a step above grocery store sushi as sushi that sits in the cooler for a while is yucky as the rice hardens. And the price is reasonable, though I wouldn't go as far to say cheap, but then...do you really want to try cheap sushi? read more

Five star sushi. This place is a to go place with no sit down tables. Where else can you get high quality sushi for such an affordable price? We got four rolls for $20. You can't beat it. read more

Avg to horrible. Tried the sushi one night, it was just average. Miso soup wasn't fully mixed and paste at bottom. Shumai in some weird spicy sauce. Chicken teriyaki, the worst I've ever had. Microwaved white rice and small portion of grizzly fatty chicken, no vegetables mixed in. Honestly most of the plate was white rice. I have never seen an Asian restaurant microwave white rice, it's usually sitting in a rice cooker. Idk, I'm from NY but this place doesn't pass the test. read more

Was in the mood for sushi, saw this on Google Maps. The sushi was great and the price was right. Will do again.

Fantastic and fresh. Good variety and fast! The "party pack" is a great sampler. Veg and non fish options available. Parking for take out is a bit sticky but, worth the walk if you can. Online ordering is complete and effective. read more

Ate here for first time. Delicious! Rock tempura shrimp app was outstanding. Shrimp was perfectly cooked. We had the red dragon and firecracker rolls . Fish was very fresh. Great flavor. Would go back here in a heartbeat!! read more

WOW. I finally found my go-to sushi place here in Charlotte! There is so much fish in each piece of sushi it was amazing. Everything tastes so fresh and the presentation is beautiful. I'll be back again soon!! read more

I get delivery from here atleast once a week and every single time it is spot on! The rolls are HUGE and for the price you really can't beat it. They did not sacrifice quality for quantity---you get both here! Will continue to order from here always! read more

What a gem! I was in town for business and asked the hotel's front desk clerk for a sushi recommendation. Totally skeptical when he mentioned a "good take-out place" and followed up with "My favorite is the California roll!" Pressed for time, I lowered my expectations and gave it a go. K.O. is smaller than small, and I almost walked right past it. Glad I didn't however, because like they say - good things come in small packages. The counter staff was informative and enthusiastic, the menu is overwhelmingly diverse, and the sushi turned out to be some of the best I've had! Don't pass up the Volcano roll for a different take on a spicy standard, or any roll which comes with their very unique and tasty Angel sauce. read more

I was once told that food could be fast, cheap or good, but not all three simultaneously. KO Sushi has proven that person who told me that thing that one time wrong. I eat their Stormy roll with an order of edamame about once a week. My boyfriend gets the Spicy Yellowtail. Not only are we both incredibly happy with our respective rolls, but the cashier remembers our regular order in a nice and not at all creepy way. Make a single good decision for once in your pathetic life and go to KO. Tell them that weird couple who come in every week sent you. I don't think you'll get a discount or anything, but it will be funny when they know EXACTLY who you're talking about. read more

Terrible! I threw the majority of my order away. The soup was inedible. The sushi turned my stomach. I'm still hoping I'm not going to get sick from this experience. The service was fast, though. read more

Definitely don't get the philly roll. Straight up fishy as hell. I mean, I get there's salmon in the roll but it just tastes like I opened my mouth while swimming at the beach. read more

New in Charlotte and my son loves his Sushi and this place is fantastic and knows his order when he comes in. You know a place is fantastic when they can remember a kids favorite order and get it done reasonably soon for a hungry growing boy. read more

yummy food for cheap quick delivery only paid $22 dollars wow that great. I order a few things the seedweed salad was really good. read more

See all

Damn. This place is ridiculous: fresh huge rolls, ridiculously inexpensive, and fast. Yes, this a takeaway place. They are probably at max capacity but it is so worth it. This place is a MACHINE. read more

Rarely answer their phone but they have pretty good sushi for a good price for the amount you get, also it takes a while for them to make it. read more

Spicy shrimp and philly roll -- love this place for lunch. We get a group of orders together and send two people to pick it up, since we're too far out for delivery, but it's definitely worth it. Two rolls is almost more than a person can eat, and it's always good. read more

Best sushi I have ever had. I usually get the firework role and the combinations is phenomenal. Excellent presentation and good price. I feel really full when I'm done eating. This is a number 1 Sushi Takeout place in my book. I hope everyone will enjoy it, I have. I'm 100% satisfied. :-) read more

Food was good....but the delivery I had today was terrible from Grubhub! They was so rude! I would've gave 5 stars if the delivery service people wasn't so bad read more

I was visiting in Charlotte and needed something to eat. I saw that this place had pickup so I decided to order and boy am I glad that I did. The website is convenient and easy, if used on a laptop or desktop I would not recommend on a phone. And also the sushi is incredibly cheap! My cucumber roll was 3.50 so I was very worried it was gonna be like 2 pieces but no it was MORE than what I usually get from most sushi places. It took a bit for the food to be ready but that is how it is with almost all sushi places. And the taste was just as good. One of the best sushi I've ever eaten in fact. If you are ever in Charlotte looking for something to eat, this is the perfect place. read more

I consider myself a connoisseur of take-out sushi, everyone needs to know a lot about something right? K.O is solid sushi with reliable delivery, good value and unlike most sushi spots...is very easy to order from. My wife and I have ordered from here three times since we moved to Charlotte six weeks ago and we have been really happy with it. It is about 40 bucks including delivery for the two of us. Highly recommend the Hiro, Crunchy and Tiger Rolls. read more

I work in Uptown and go here for lunch at least twice a week. I love the veggie udon soup. The service is fast and the food tastes fresh. My pick for "to go" sushi in Uptown. It is not a sit down place so there are no tables but I usually take it back to my office anyway. read more

Super fast takeout place! Don't expect to dine in though. It's a little hole in the wall with cheap and fast service. I got the chicken udon, took it to Amelie's French bakery around the block and was a happy camper by the end of it. read more

A great sushi spot! This place is a hidden gem. Sushi made fresh. A large menu and variety to choose from. The best part is they are reasonable. It is a take out spot so keep that in mind. read more

Live in Uptown or surrounding neighborhoods? Love sushi? Appreciate delivery? KO Sushi needs to be your next phone call. Delivery guys/gals are always pleasant and arrive on their mopeds rain or shine or snow. Sushi is really good for delivery. It's cheap and they even have combo platters for a discount. I usually go with the #11, which comes with 2 basic maki rolls for $7. Spicy tuna and spicy veggie call are the choices. I then order the shrimp tempura and godzilla roll. Make sure to specify how many sets of chopsticks you need as well as your soy choice...fully leaded or low sodium. Order usually arrives in under 45 minutes. Well worth the wait! read more

Tilapia is NOT Snapper. Cashier made a mistake while reading my sashimi selection back to me ... said "tilapia" instead of "snapper", which is what I ordered. Tilapia is absolutely nowhere on the menu, but, for some reason, she said "tilapia". Why would she say that? When I asked her to repeat it again, she said "snapper" the second time. I'm very familiar with both types of fish and both, in sashimi form, look almost identical. The flavor was extremely close to tilapia and upon further investigation and discussion with my wife, we're 99% certain we were given tilapia. Look up images of snapper and tilapia sashimi and see what you think. I wouldn't have a problem with getting tilapia instead of snapper if they told me that I was getting a sub and adjusted the price for the cheaper grade of fish. There is a very, very slight chance that I really did get snapper, but the fact that she said "tilapia" leads me to believe that I didn't and that they use tilapia as a sub for snapper and customers aren't made aware of that. Anyway, the rolls that I've tried along with most of the sashimi are good. For fast food sushi, it's not too bad. I just have a problem with restaurants who assume diners won't know the subtle differences in specific ingredients. Another reviewer mentioned getting a cheaper ingredient subbed for a premium one in his soup. Therefore, it seems like this is a common practice at this spot. read more

This sushi is okay at best. There are way better options in the area, but the price is right for maki rolls and they have a combo special. One thing I do like for working in the uptown area is that they do online ordering. I've never had to wait for my food, I just order online and pick it up. The service is friendly, but with sushi I'm super picky and this place is good if you want a cheap fix. read more

The portion of chicken plate is too little! Crunchy roll is of reasonable size. It is a clean take out place. I probably will try again. read more

Excellent place for lunch in uptown! The customer service is great, and although there is usually a wait due to the long line, it is totally worth it!! Love the sushi too! :) read more

Been ordering here for years and I think their food is good, their delivery guy is awesome. The service in store is so so. Not really customer friendly. Along with other bumbled orders , the other day my pregnant wife was denied to use the BR as I placed an order. Will move on . read more

This is a small take out spot so I did not expect much. Found it very fresh for a good price. I only order at night. They always make my rolls fresh to order. They did have a display case it looks like they may fill up to accommodate the lunch rushes so I can't comment on their pre-made rolls. I am a very satisfied regular customer. read more

I don't know why, but I love this place. Parking sucks, but if you can get there, it's worth it. Cheap and good. I get the KO Deluxe. It's a lot of sushi for $11. Add the spicy mayo, please. I go in, place the order, they make it, and its to me in 5 minutes. It's a no thrill place. Carryout only. And they don't prepare in front of you. The place is small, and they had to make room the best they could. I saw a few comments about that. If there is an event, good luck parking close. And construction is making it hard. I've risked illegally parking before and been lucky. But I have also skipped the place cuz I couldn't find parking close. read more

gosh, Charlotte must have low standards in sushi. This place was fairly terrible. Threw away 80% of my order. Salmon should have a taste and rice should be white, not 50 shades of gray. read more

This is not anywhere near the best sushi you will find Uptown, but I'm giving K.O. 4 stars for other reasons. It's cheap as hell and really quick. I can grab my tuna/avocado roll for $5 plus tax. That's an absolute steal. I should caveat the service by saying I usually grab lunch outside the typical 12 o'clock hour for obvious reasons, but I know you can call ahead to avoid waiting altogether. I'd rather just order at the counter, get it rolled fresh, then walk over to Romare Bearden park and chow down! read more

It is truly a love/hate relationship with this place. Love the food but not the service. I order shrimp Udon and when I got it, it did not have one piece of shrimp in my "Shrimp Udon" but imitation crab. Not cool!! read more
