Great food and service! Love the spicy tuna roll. Highly recommended if you every visit Charlotte.

It's convenient if you want something quick. Portion of the food has been smaller compared previous owner and also had raised their price.

Visit here often, they always have great sushi and prices are fair. Customer service is great and fast. Lunch deals during the week also. Only suggestion, order ahead and avoid going in at noon on weekdays, place is super busy and you have to wait and not really any standing room so you're crammed in. Worth the wait but I would recommend getting there before the lunch rush. read more

My absolute favorite sushi in all of charlotte for the best price. I usually order online and pick it up which is so convenient. The staff is always incredible. I typically order a Cucumber Roll adding avocado with a small edamame. The avocado is always perfect and the portions are perfect. While there is no indoor seating across the street there are tables you can eat at. read more

KO Sushi - Cucumber Roll with avocado and small Edamame - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Very pleasantly surprised with this place that I had never even heard of a week ago. A friend told me about it, so I decided to give it a try despite the modest Yelp rating. The ordering process was extremely convenient. It was very simple to order online, and you're even given the option of customizing your roll by adding extra ingredients. I didn't take advantage of customizing this time, but I'm sure I will in the future. I'm always drawn to the specialty rolls, and the first thing I noticed here were the very affordable prices...there were a few specialty rolls for as little as $5.25 and many more for $6.50 or less. I decided to get one relatively expensive roll and one cheaper roll. My more expensive roll was the Magma Roll for $8.50. It had two pieces of shrimp tempura and crab with baked spicy crab salad on top. This roll was amazing! It came with 8 pieces, and with all the crab salad on top, looked quite formidable. To be honest, I probably could have called it quits after just this roll, but alas, I'm a glutton for sushi. The cheaper roll I ordered was the Hiro Roll for $6.50. This one had shrimp tempura, masago, spicy mayo, avocado, crab, and cream cheese. Though not quite as good as the Magma Roll, it was still very delicious, and for $2 less was probably better value. It came with only 6 pieces, but the pieces were huge. My girlfriend called out my faux pas of not eating each piece in one bite. I will definitely be back to check out some of the other specialty rolls (and get crazy with adding new ingredients). UPDATE: Enjoyed K.O. so much last time, it took me less than a week to return. This time I ordered the Bagel Roll for $8.50. It came with 9 big pieces and had crab, cream cheese, and avocado with salmon and more avocado on top. Loved this roll just as much as the Magma and Hiro. The pieces of salmon were extremely generous...I can't believe how much fish you get for such a low price! UPDATE: Tried a new roll today. This time I ordered the Hung Roll with baked salmon, avocado, cream cheese, and jalapeño. There were 10 pieces for an incredibly inexpensive $5.25. It was probably my least favorite of the four rolls, but it was still quite good. UPDATE: Tried two new rolls today. The first was the Fireworks Roll. It had two pieces of shrimp tempura, crab, cucumber, tobiko, and torched spicy tuna on top with special sauce. It was really good...I loved how crunchy it was. However, at almost $10, it's the most expensive roll on the menu, and to be honest, I think there's better value with the cheaper rolls. The second roll I ordered was the Stormy Roll. It had crab, shrimp, avocado and a choice of cream cheese or cucumber. It was cheap at only $5.25, but it was the most boring roll I've had from K.O....I don't think I would get it again. UPDATE: Tried the Tempura Roll today. Nothing really to write home about, but very good value for the low price of $5.50. It came with 8 ample pieces, and the spicy mayo had just the right amount of kick. UPDATE: Tried the Crunchy Roll and the Shrimp Shumai. The shumai was decent, but I think I'll stick to sushi from now on. The crunchy roll was similar quality to what I've had at Harris Teeter, but for less than half the price. 10 pieces for $5.50 is truly an incredible deal. UPDATE: Ordered two basic rolls today: Tekka (Tuna) and Salmon. There was a very generous amount of fish in each roll, but it wasn't the freshest tasting fish I've had. The salmon roll was slightly better. read more

What's not to like about KO Sushi? They are friendly, have great portions and have a great selection of rolls. My personal favorites are the fireworks and magma rolls. It is ALWAYS delicious. If you order via Uber Eats, it does travel quite well, too. I truly love KO Sushi and will continue to order from them. Thanks KO! read more

I SO wanted to LOVE this place based on the reviews. Alas, Yelpers let me down. The sushi was just okay. I've honestly had better at several other places in the Charlotte/Concord/Cornelius area. Ordering on line and picking it up was convenient. I had just a short wait for my order when I got there. The prices were better than some places in Uptown, but even still, I would probably get sushi from somewhere else next time. read more

Hello Friends I've come here many times. Guess I forgot to write a review!! Welp, again Grumbles and I ventured out on this Wet/Sunny/Rainy day in search of wonderfull BIG LUNCH. The 2nd of my BIG LUNCH stop (1st being Jersey Mikes #9). I walked into K.O. today about 11:15ish. Much to my delight, I was the only patron inside. Great, I beat the lunch crowd. I ordred the Rainbow Roll - 7.99 = California Roll with 5 kinds of fish (see pix) It was pretty good. I'll try it again ONLY thing I DON'T like about this place is the fact they they go behind a secret exit to make your roll. Like, What are you guys doing back there. I would like to see someone making my food. Not just taking my order and vanishing into the back somewhere. read more

KO Sushi - California Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Great sushi!!! My hubby and I frequent this place quite often, probably more now than usual given COVID. No sitting area but it's a great takeout option for sushi. They can get busy around lunch time obviously but you can order ahead. read more

A colleague of mine offered to pick up lunch for the team from KO Sushi today. We ordered, he picked up, and we all chowed. Let me just say that the pricing here is wonderful for what you get! The sushi is delicious, tasty and very fresh. I had a Chubby roll and a Fireworks roll. Both were amazing. I ordered a large edamame not realizing how LARGE the portion would be. I now have edamame for days!!! I'm thrilled to know there's quick sushi uptown at such a reasonable price. Looking forward to satisfying my next sushi roll craving here! Thanks, KO Sushi! read more

My husband just told me I need to update my review for KO as I, literally, go to KO once a week for lunch!! I have also Postmates ordered it for dinner here and there. I nicknamed KO, Knockout sushi, because it is exactly what I want from a to go sushi place (no tables inside). Quick. Cheap. Simple. Friendly. I have gone through rounds of my go to roll. First it was the Hiro Roll. Then Perfect Match was my roll of choice. Next, it was Dragon. Currently, my roll of choice is spicy tuna. The chef mixes some sauce in so it's a bit different than the typical tuna roll with spicy mayo on top. Usually I get a small edamame with it or a mini salad with ginger. I have also tried the salmon and tuna shashimi and it always tastes so fresh. Service is what puts KO over the top. The same lady is always behind the counter. Despite there being 15 people in the small restaurant waiting on orders and the phone ringing, she always remembers that I don't like cucumber and I don't need soy sauce. That's service. KO, I'll be back....in a few days! Pro Tip- Any order over $7 gets a free drink Pro Pro tip- For the Mon-Fri Uptown worker crowd, go at 11 am or 2 pm or plan on waiting 20-30 minutes....or call ahead! read more

GR! yelp address was wrong, this place is ACTUALLY on 3rd street and Tryon (more on 3rd street). They have some secret February specials that I wish I knew before! Monday: 10% off special rolls Tuesday: Free drink with your order of $10 or more Wednesday: Free drink with your order of $10 or more (delivery not included) Thursday: 20% off all nigiri and sashimi Friday: 20% off special rolls (5pm-9:30pm) Saturday: 20% off all orders Sunday: 20% off with valid student id **All specials exclude combo and fax orders. I thought it would be a nice little walk to KO, but the area is pretty ghetto and deserted at night. I got asked for spare change EEK! I would recommend just getting take out, besides they don't have indoor seating anyway and delivery is just $1. Love how generous they are with the seaweed salad. Wish the sashimi was a little cheaper, but still a good dinner option. For some reason I can't get my order under $20 ever. It's still a solid and affordable sushi option. read more

Really good deal. I just ordered three rolls for myself and my mom on yelp. Yelp notified me and kept me updated throughout the order. All I had to do was come by and pick it up! Easy!! read more

So I had to try the u-do noodles folks reviewed about here... Fast...fairly priced....and a funky discount based on weather makes this read more

I really like their sushi but I know they are usually slow. I ordered online and went to pickup my food. After standing in the tiny inside for 15 mins i asked if i was supposed to check in or somethign and she said yes, how would i know you were here.... um because i ordered online which meant i paid for it and am on the way to pick it up. Total 40 mins after ordering my food i received it. read more

I have FINALLY found my go to sushi spot. This is probably my 4th order with them via UBEREATS. And wow. Just every time it's perfect to me. Perfect portions. Great prices. Fresh taste. I've been 100% satisfied with all my orders. Today on my 4th order I feel compelled to write a review because I need everyone to know about KO sushi. I can't hold the secret anymore. This is the spot!!! read more

Good sushi for the price point. Only reason it's not 5 stars is they've often been late getting pickup orders out.

This was such great sushi for the price. Fresh, flavorful and filling! The pieces were huge and the proportion of rice to fish was spot on. If you're looking for take out/delivery sushi check this place out! read more

KO Sushi - KO K.O Party Tray and Rainbow Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Delivery was fast using grubhub, squid salad was tiny and not very good, the miso soup ok at best, the salmon maki box is nothing more than just a regular salmon roll haphazardly thrown into a tray and priced higher. Overall very mediocre. read more

KO Sushi - Salmon Box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Didn't think I was going to get such high quality especially uptown and somewhere so close to the center. But wow the fish was super fresh and pieces of fish were enormous. Definitely recommend the combos with the nigiri and roll. Next time I'll order ahead as the line can back up but moves fairly quickly. Normally don't post but gotta give a shout out here! read more

KO Sushi - KO combo with Nigiri and spicy tuna roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place is EVERYTHING. I hate to admit this, but there have been weeks where I've had KO almost every night for dinner. SERVICE It's not particularly fancy, but boy do they do their job well. It seems like a small, family run store, so they always greet me with a smile and always offer quick service. I usually order online and am able to pick up and get in and out within five minutes. Even when it's the lunch rush, they go through and handle orders to the level that is done at my local McDonalds. They're quick, friendly and offer quality food. What's not to love? FOOD The food is incredible. It's no frills so don't expect crazy sushi rolls, but they do offer some cool combos. My go to is the Charlotte Combo, which comes with a roll of choice and some nigiri. For $9.50, it's the best deal in town for some quality sushi. I also love the Anything roll, which is $6.50 last time I checked. If you love jalapeño and cilantro, this roll is for you. Nothing satiates a savory craving than that roll! The prices are so affordable and the food is always DELICIOUS. read more

I wish they had more roll options but what they do have tastes good, comes at a very reasonable price and is close to the office. Unfortunately though, the other day they gave me a salmon cream cheese roll instead of a salmon cucumber roll. That was highly disappointing and annoying since i had to waste time stripping half the cream cheese out of each piece in order to enjoy them. read more

Alright sushi. At least they have a few good roles for $5 ish. Good and quick for a pick-up lunch during the work week. No seating. Takeout/Pick up only. read more

Some of the best sushi we've had, and at an amazing price! We got 2 specialty and 2 regular roles for $25. I would definitely recommend this for a good lunch or takeout dinner spot. We went to the restaurant to order and it was ready in under 10 minutes. read more

I got my food delivered, so I can't say anything about the place itself. I ordered the shrimp shumai and the K.O Deluxe with the tekka roll. The shrimp shumai was really great- not too spicy, flavorful, and still crunchy even after sitting in the sauce. The K.O Deluxe gave a lot of sushi for a relatively low price and it also tasted great. What I ordered was pretty simple, since I was basically craving just fish and rice, but the fish tasted fresh, the rice didn't have a noticeably vinegary flavor unlike other sushi, and the pickled ginger and wasabi that came with it were amazing. The nigiri also had very generous portions of fish and a good variety. I rarely find myself craving sushi, because it usually tastes off or makes me feel ill, but I'll probably be eating it more often now that I know this restaurant exists. read more

I've been here a few times and it's so convenient especially if you work uptown. It's a take out sushi spot that's fast, efficient and pretty tasty. Today I got the spicy tuna roll and the philly roll, both were pretty good. The spicy tuna has a special chef sauce which makes it so much different than other places. I will definitely be back, too bad they aren't open late... read more

KO Sushi - Ordered from postmates. rainbow roll add shrimp sauce and avocado instead of cucumber - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This has continued to be a solid go-to lunch spot for sushi. Not going to sugar coat this one and say I have tried the whole menu or branches out to any of their exotic rolls but what I have done is ordered the same two or three rolls (Cali, spicy tuna, philly) on a regular basis and each time know exactly what I'm getting and haven't had a bad experience, can respect the consistency here! 2¢- if you are trying to pick up during noon hour plan accordingly to wait or call ahead read more

Ordered off of grub hub and was not disappointed!! Both the cucumber box and the soup were delicious! I was also pleasantly surprised by how much food came for the money--not sure if you can tell in the picture, but the soup container is HUGE. I could have easily been fine with just one dish or the other, but I only ordered both to meet the minimum order cost for grub hub. The soup was still piping hot when it came, and after eating the whole cucumber box I could only try a little of the soup before I was too full. The soup will be my lunch tomorrow. Great price, great quality, and would definitely order again!! read more

I waited too long to try this for lunch. Walked up from work and ordered and had my food in about 5 minutes. Got the lunch combo which was one order of sushi and a drink. I got the spicy tuna and it was 12 slices, perfect amount for lunch. I could have used or asked for extra wasabi as it barely spread to all of the rolls. But loved the flavor and the speed. They deliver too. read more

KO Sushi brought back their hot foods menu, which I felt was their crown jewel. For that reason, I am returning the review to 5 stars. Thanks KO for listening to the customer and making good food. read more

This is a hole in the wall restaurant that's kind of hard to get to at first because it's in the heart of Uptown, but so worth getting there! There's no indoor dining so everything is take out but the food is always still warm and great when I get home. It's cheap and the best sushi I've had in Charlotte! read more

This place is affordable and has a great atmosphere. I pick up lunch here often and it's a super quick and easy bite in the downtown area. Miso soup is super cheap and I like to add a cucumber roll to my order to make it be a bit more filling for just 3 extra dollars. I have not tried many speciality rolls, but all of the classic rolls are great and mostly at or under $5. Better and cheaper than grocery store sushi, definitely worth a try if you're a sushi fan and you just want carry out or something affordable. read more

My boyfriend and I LOVE this place. It's our go-to for sushi. You will not find better sushi in Charlotte!!! We've tried them all! And the prices beat everywhere! I haven't tried too many of their specialty rolls but their basic rolls are insanely good. Great service and lovely owners/employees! read more

the sushi was AMAZING! not much to look at in the restaurant but the food didn't take long and it was so fresh!

It is the perfect place for lunch if I only have half an hour I can just come here and grab a lunch box. The sushi here is fresh, I tried spicy crab roll, spicy shimp, eel roll, and catapiller roll, they are all good. This place also give out free drink during lunch, I like the hot green tea, not every place offer hot green tea. Plus there is few Asian food lunch option in Uptown, so I will definitely come here often in the future. read more

Shrimp tempura sushi was damn good, the other rolls I can't remember as well, but it was quick and yummy

Solid choice for sushi uptown. It's always fresh and reasonably priced for uptown. I've ordered several times for takeout and have always been pleased with the choices. The place really isn't meant for dining in so don't expect to be sticking around just plan to grab it to go. overall though a very solid choice for the money. read more

Fast and fresh. Definitely worth a try if you are in Uptown and looking for a to-go sushi option.
