This is a very small takeout place! I was so shocked with the low prices and great quality! Ordered spicy tuna spicy yellowtail and a rainbow roll! The yellowtail had absolutely no filler. It was big chunks of yellowtail. I'm in Charlotte for the next three week. I'll deathly be there at least once a week read more

See all

Every single roll is so delicious! Great portions and good price. Always top notch quality. I can't wait to try all of the rolls!

this is EXACTLY what I would want in a delivery sushi place... I ordered sushi online at 7:30 tonight. On there website every item had descriptions so I knew what I was getting myself into and I didn't have to encounter any miscommunication issues which typically arise when ordering over the phone. the delivery guy appeared 30 minutes after I placed my order. They have a delivery minimum of $15 and they charge a $1 delivery fee. I deducted one star because I think they can either charge the minimum or the delivery fee, but it's really like .5 star because its not a bad minimum or a bad fee. So cheers to them. I ordered yellow tail sashimi, the hurricane roll, and the KO roll. My favorite was the yellow tail sashimi; it was fresh and I will definitely order more next time. It was only one piece which sucks but it was a large cut. And it was served on a bed of thinly sliced cucumber which was not only nice presentation but a good little snack. They give you nice chopsticks (they seemed nicer then the normal ones) and a little soy sauce dish (wrapped in the napkin). I will be ordering from this place MANY more times in the future and if they keep up their level of service and quality I see a 5 star update in their future :) read more

Yum yum and yum. Love the sushi at this place and the prices are great we order lunch from here at least once a month. I can't remember the rolls but something crunchy and fire is amazing as are the steamed and fried gyoza. read more

It is hard to believe there was ever I time where I hated sushi because lately it seems I have been on a sushi eating binge. Went to K.O with a friend tonight- we ordered 4 rolls to split between the two of us spicy tuna, firework, Hiro, and Dragon. My total with a coke zero and 15% student discount (grad school is good for something : ) ) came to $14. The amount of food was crazy, we really should have stuck to three. The eat-in area is basically two stools and a counter- it was extremely uncomfortable. What made things worse is that we had to wait 40 minutes for our food! We had to check in a couple times and were more than a little miffed that it took that long and that we weren't pre-warned. Once our food came out the mood lightened up because we were in cheap sushi heaven! I was extremely impressed with the quality and freshness -you simply cannot beat the price! We barely finished our rolls but we did manage to stuff the last one down...again 3 rolls would have absolutely sufficed as I am in a food coma currently. Both of us enjoyed the Hiro roll the best - but all four tasted great. I will be back...for take out only. read more

You should know that the hours posted on their door aren't their actual hours. We showed up hoping to grab some sushi for a late lunch around 2pm. The hours on their door said they were open from 9am to something like 7pm that day. But they were closed. Confusion? I called them through the afternoon, and when I finally got someone, he said their hours were 4:30pm to something like 9pm. I don't even know. So confusing. There is only street-parking, and no place to sit inside, as well as no bathroom. Patrons get around this by sitting on the floor as they wait for their sushi. The sushi itself is fairly decent quality. It's a good place to walk to if you're downtown for a quick a tasty bite, just be sure to call ahead and make sure they're actually there before you go out of your way. read more

How anyone thinks this is good sushi is beyond me. I take it as what it is: Fast food Sushi on the go. - Fish are like canned food, but the good kind. - Service is real quick, to a point it's scary. - Very simple and easy to use website, easy to get what you want. - Doesn't taste too good, but doesn't taste terrible. If you are craving something quick and want some decent but not good sushi, this isn't a bad option. Don't expect too much as it's not that good, and if you think it's good then it's time for you to go to an actual sushi restaurant. read more

Tried this place for the first time on Wednesday and it did not disappoint. The rolls were fresh and delish and you can't beat the price. My favorite rolls (that I will be ordering again) are the Perfect Match Roll, Anything Roll, and Tiger Roll. This place might have the best sushi in town. read more

Yeeeah I love this place. Cheap, quick and fast like a takeout urban sprawled sushi joint should be. Tuna rolls are around 6 bucks and quite tasty. Although the menu is quite slim, they do offer the necessities. Seating is limited to about 4 benches so be prepared to take it to go. Being it's a take out joint, in true fashion they deliver. Mega points there for one of the few delivery restaurants in the area. Not to mention sushi! read more

Awesome place with affordable sushi great customer service place your order online and it'll be ready in no time,lunch hours are busy!! read more

KO Sushi - Avocado Roll Crunchy Roll Shrimp Sashimi Spicy Tuna Boat Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

K.O. Sushi is my go to for sushi in Uptown Charlotte. I have gone there almost every week since my first visit. Why? ... Because it's delicious and fresh, the menu has lots of options, has easy online ordering and all at a great cost. It's a take out spot meaning there's no room for fancy decor or chairs even. So you shouldn't take your date here. But the small square footage affords them low overhead which in turn allows them to price their product accordingly. At least that's my hypothesis. The lines are out the door during the work week lunch rush so order well ahead of time and still be ready for a wait. Any other time, order online and 20 minutes later you'll be stuffing your face with delicious fish wrapped in rice goodness. 4 rolls will cost your around $25-30 and will feed 2 people or 1 really greedy person who wants left overs. read more

A To-Go sushi place with incredibly reasonable prices, free delivery (for order $15 or higher), and a sanitation rating of 99.0? Yes please. I had an avocado roll and a cucumber roll. $2.50 (or $3?) a roll. Can't beat that. The only complaint I can think of is no Inari (tofu skins)! When I'm feeling lazy and not in the mood to cook again, I'm totally going here. read more

Got sushi delivered and it was great! I would definitely eat here again, and would try other items.

It's tough to give sushi in this town above 3 stars. I'm spoiled, I'm from the New York where sushi is incredible and we don't shove cream cheese or mayo into everything and call it a day. However, this place is quick, easy, and filling. Makes for a good lunch spot, in a town that needs more variety for lunch. read more

Hubs and I stumbled onto this little gem very soon after we moved to Charlotte a few years ago. Since we lived in the Fourth Ward at the time, we were thrilled to try sushi delivery just a few streets down. We've since ordered KO (delivered to our house - just a mile south of Uptown in South End) and every time we get it, the sushi is basic, but fresh and delish! The delivery guy is always nice and he definitely works hard in the rain on his moped to ensure that we get our food in an adequate amount of time. I don't think we've ever waited more than 45 minutes for our food and the one time it was sub-par (wrong items and jumbled from the ride over), they very kindly comped our next order. I would recommend the shrimp tempura roll, spicy tuna roll, spicy veggie roll and the Godzilla roll (my personal fave). Per some other reviews, definitely pay attention to the specials - they make this little spot even more affordable than it already is! Just make sure you hit the minimums required for lunch or dinner orders...we never have that problem as we typically eat our weight in sushi. Yay for KO. read more

Just tried for the first time today. The Checker roll (tuna, cream cheese, spicy mayo) had just the right amount of spice. The Caterpillar roll was lovely, and VERY tasty compared to other eel rolls I've had. Great, fast, affordable Japanese-style lunch in Uptown Charlotte. Will definitely order in advance online next time to make it even quicker, or perhaps even try delivery service. (They have little mopeds for delivery.) I've been waiting for tasty sushi and a good selection to help me through my days in the office. Thanks, K.O. -- you're a lunchtime jewel in the Charlotte Uptown-iverse! :) read more

I travel to charlotte for work on a regular basis (will be moving soon) and I've been on a mission to find great sushi in this city. I've been to Niko, which does have a great environment and good sushi, but it didn't blow me away. Also, sometimes I'm just not up for all that after a long day, which is why I tried KO. Now my rating is partially based in food and on convenience because there is no eating in here. As for the food, I would say 3.5 stars, as I didn't like the spicy tuna, but the salmon and yellowtail were great-very fresh tasting! Also the seaweed salad was good but had a little too much dressing on it for my taste, it should be a cleaner taste in my opinion but all in all a good takeout/delivery option at the end of the day. What got this place to 4 stars for me was the online ordering. I absolutely hate calling anywhere and placing an order over the phone and I'm glad to see that sushi has followed pizza by participating in online ordering. It's not that the people aren't nice or pleasant (the staff was actually quite pleasant during my pick up) but I just don't like calling, so this place makes me very happy and I will definitely be ordering sushi online again from KO. read more

Finally a reasonable place for Sushi in Charlotte that is actually good. If this place were in San Francisco, I would likely only give it three stars but compared to what I have had in Charlotte this place rocks. It is take out only but they do a good job at it. One nice touch is a little soy sauce tray they give you. Fish is fresh though Tuna is lower grade. Overall, a good experience Best Miso Soup in Uptown Charlotte read more

Delivery guy went to wrong place and was late but food was good, exept they forgot miso soup. They are closed so i couldnt talk to them. read more

Went today. Service was fast & the food was great. I got two good sized rolls for $11. read more

The sushi is great, but I am not a sushi fan. I ordered their Chicken Teriyaki bowl. Not good at all. Bleh. read more

Best sushi in Charlotte!! And I've tried just about everywhere KO sushi is affordable fast and always fresh! You can even customize your maki rolls which no other place does. By far my favorite spot to pick up sushi! read more

My sister came to visit from Houston so after we visited the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, we walked down to K.O. Sushi for some take out dinner. It's small b/c it's mostly for take out orders but there are two small sections for seating at the windows. I had a Philly roll and sushi rice that was ready in about 15 minutes. There's a flat screen HD TV you can watch while waiting but I chose to catch up on some Creative Loafing reading. I could tell we had just beat the after work crowd b/c as we were leaving patrons started pouring in. All in all, a great place for some take home sushi :-) read more

This place is amazing. It is my favorite inexpensive sushi place in Charlotte. All of their rolls are extremely fresh and the prices can't be beat for the quality. I highly recommend trying KO. read more

It's a fast food sushi place with surprisingly fresh food. Service is great actually... the dude up front who takes your order and is the general "face" of the organization is super attentive, very nice and a little uhmm... what's the politically correct term.... uhh... well if you spoke with or met the guy you'd know what I was talking about - he's really nice! There's only a high top bar area in a crowded space, so don't plan on sitting and eating here, the entire place is organized to be take out only. Also - good luck navigating their website, that thing could use some help - it took me 10 minutes to find their phone number! Tips: They've got a promotion now where if you buy $8 worth of sushi they'll give you a free can of soda. They also have a frequent flyer card where you can get a discount if you repeat visit so often. read more

The sushi's good and fresh. Pretty quick service and polite but they charged me for spicy mayo which I think is dumb. They do have decent lunch specials. Two rolls cost less than 10 dollars. It's clean but no place to sit and eat really. read more

Finding parking here can be a bit of a challenge, but worth it. The food was fresh and reasonable in price, and the service prompt. There is no dining area, so they only do carryout. Perhaps they also do delivery? Best part about the joint other than the food is that you can order online! http://www.kosushi2go.com/ read more

This sushi spot is average at best. The rolls have too much rice and hardly any fish. I would rather pay extra and get more substance than just eat a bunch of rice. I wish they had some sort of seating. I go here when I need to grab a quick work day lunch. It's on par with grocery store grade pre made sushi read more

Take-out. Their physical location is just a kitchen, phone, and cash register - don't think you'll be eating here. They are close enough to most of the uptown apartment buildings that you can order online (http://www.kosushi2go.com) and walk down to pick it up 10 minutes later. Ditto for the uptown lunch crowd. The sushi is quick, cheap, and easy. I have no experience with the delivery, but allegedly it's pretty solid too. You aren't going to get world class sushi at $4 a roll, but it's good value and they make it as convenient as possible. Think sushi meets fast-food. read more

The other night during the torrential downpours we were craving sushi. And all of you sushi lovers know how that goes, you could not think about sushi for weeks, but the minute it pops into your head you MUST have it. So we decided to try KO. Like morons, we decided we'd walk over and get it. 20 minutes and one broken umbrella later, soaking wet, we made it back and dug in. We were very impressed! First and most importantly, the fish and all of the other items inside the rolls were very fresh. We ordered 4 of the special rolls and loved them all, especially the volcano roll - so tasty! Be aware, though - some of these rolls are HUGE! Took a few tries to fit it all in my mouth! The miso soup was, well, miso soup (can't really go wrong here, let's face it we are eating seaweed and tofu). The Crunchy Roll was also delicious, as well as the Panthers Roll. The sauces that were put on them made the roll, gave it a little kick. Prices were what you would expect - anywhere from $5 to $9 for the specialty rolls and $4 maki rolls. My only suggestion would be for them to offer more speical rolls to choose from! read more

Fresh delicious made when you order sushi! Very reasonably priced. I hit this spot each time I'm in Uptown and have time for a meal. Great clean small sushi place - a real gem! read more

KO has my favorite sushi in Charlotte. It's quick and easy, but they don't sacrifice freshness or flavor. KO is a go to lunch place for my coworkers and me in uptown. It's take out only, but it's enjoyable to head over to Wells Fargo and eat or easy to bring back to the office. I love their lunch specials: free soda with purchase over $7, 50% off a $20 purchase on your birthday, and the lunch box combo, which gives you more pieces than a regular roll, but not as much as two rolls, which is just the right amount. And it's about $7 to $8, which is super affordable. My new favorite thing is to call them before I leave the office, and then swing by to pick up dinner on my way home. Don't be fooled because it's just a take out sushi place. So far, it's the best sushi I've have in Charlotte. (the only downside is for delivery, you need to order $30 or more). read more

Great price for the sushi. Tasted very fresh and had great flavor. Place was quite busy, so ordering ahead was a good idea. Would definitely go there again if I was in town. Specialty roll and a normal maki roll is plenty of food. read more

I was walking around downtown Charlotte, craving sushi, and stumbled across this place. I was travelling for business, and alone, and not much in the mood to sit down at a full service restaurant. I loved the Friday special, 20% off the special rolls, so I got the Hurricane roll and some edamame. The edamame was a tiny bit overcooked, but still delicious. The sushi was fresh and tasty. Quality takeout sushi at a reasonable price. They definitely satisfied my sushi craving. read more

Update: Last week I was on my way to Jimmy John's to grab a quick sammie and ran into a friend who was downing some veggie udon noodles here. On his recommendation, I changed my plans and ordered the noodles, too. They were quite delicious and great for a winter day. He also said the sushi rolls (the ones I didn't get the first time around) were quite good, too, so maybe I will try sushi at the place again in the future. But, I will definitely come back here for the noodles. It's nice to be able to unban this place from my work lunch spots now. read more

Just the other day I was wishing there was a quick take-out sushi place downtown. I saw this place on Yelp and went down to check it out. It's a small place with only two stools for seating, so you'll definitely want to get it to go or have it delivered. The selection of rolls is pretty standard, but varied enough for my tastes. The maki rolls are about 4 bucks, and their "special" rolls are about twice that. Maki rolls are pretty much the size you would expect. We picked up a few of those, along with a special roll -Rainbow- that was nice and plump. The quality was pretty good. The fish tasted fresh and the sauces were tasty. I thought the rice was very slightly undercooked because it was a little looser than expected, but that's really a very minor issue that will probably vary from day to day. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. It's great to have a take-out sushi place downtown. I'm sure I will be going back there many times. read more

Great sushi at an even greater price. Was a lil skeptical about not being able to see them prepare the rolls, and it being a take out only joint... but when I say it was really fresh & delicious. I mean it!! Will definitely be a stop the next (and everytime) I'm in Charlotte. read more

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

Quick and easy lunch spot if you work in uptown Charlotte. Prices are great! The sushi was decent especially for a take it only sushi spot. No seating and no frills, just fast sushi and friendly service. I must admit I only ever get spicy tuna rolls because I'm a little picky with plain fresh sushi but it fills me up! read more

Meh is a good word (or sound?) to describe this joint. It's a great place for a quick lunch during the weekdays but I would never come here with a sushi craving. I got take-out one night for dinner (was pretty desperate for food and hungry). The sushi here is mediocre. The quality of the fish isn't anything you're going to be impressed with (can't expect it, with the low prices). This is a good bring-back-to-your-desk lunch for the workaholics out there. I will agree with the other Yelp reviewers that it's a great place for the money though. read more

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
