I left a meeting and was hungry, I had time as the bus was not coming for another 20 minutes figured I'd jump in and grab a bite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I walked in the place was packed as all good hole in the wall spots are.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She sat me down and gave me a menu as she rushed around tending to a full house she got my order gave me my soup and it did take some time to get my bento box but I got it. I ordered salmon hand rolls. They were fresh I asked for more Wasabi I like it hot she gave it to me with a smile and teriyaki space to as I like to put it on my rice. She is a super woman tending to all customers, cleaning up when they leave also assuring the next people will get a clean table I ate and paid. Stepped put and 3 minutes later bus came. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a cute hole in the wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices are very reasonable. This is my new spot to come 2 times a month. I recommend this to anyone who likes good fresh sushi.

I went a couple of months ago for the first time. It was super busy so that was a good sign. There was a confusion with my order, someone took my order and I took theirs. I called and the lady was super nice about it. She told me to eat that one and that she can make my correct order but I was already in work and the sushi had avocado which I am severely allergic to. The next day I went back and she gave me a refund. She was extremely worried that I didn't eat that day and I was super touched about how worried she was. Luckily I did eat the tempura so I still ate. Honestly from what I did try it was super delicious. I went back with my girlfriend to actually sit down and eat there. It was amazing service and really quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their restaurant is one of my favorite spots.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was really clean and the art they had on the wall was also incredible and the music they play was good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Suprising find in Santa Ana. The place looks kinda sketchy when you walk in. It looks more like a Boba Tea take out joint then a legit sushi restaurant. There were only a handful of tables and the tables and chairs are very basic. There is no sushi bar with Sushi Chefs making your food in front of you as you would expect. But surprise: The menu has got a great selection of sushi, sashimi, basic and hand rolls, baked rolls, tempura rolls, no rice rolls, bento boxes with hot food, noodles, poke bowls, and appetizers. I decided to order the Chirashi to see about their sushi quality and variety. Very impressed!! Had great range of fish and it was all delicious. The tamago (rolled egg omlet) was also excellent. They say that you can tell the quality of a Japanese restaurant by their tamago, I'm no expert but this place definitely know what they are doing. read more

Big portion at decent price. Pretty fresh fish. Good cut and didn't skimp on thin slices of fish. Smoothie was decent as well.

I never thought I'd find a good sushi spot next to home where you definitively get bang for your buck. Is it Yagi Sushi in Anaheim Hills? No. But it's definitely worth coming here. read more

What a nice discovery in downtown Santa Ana! Stopped in with my wife and son for lunch. Menu had a nice variety of both Korean and Japanese items. Sushi was excellent , and the sashimi portions were very generous! We also had bulgogi, which was also very good. We'll definitely be back! read more

The sushi was not fresh, I drove 5 miles after I left, my stomach didn't feel well, I went bathroom 3 times after I ate the food there. I would not go back. The price is not reasonable. read more

Comfortable and relaxing setting to break away from your hard work day!! We like coming here and put 4 quarters (or dimes or nickels) on the meter parking for an hour! Great service. Fresh sushi and sashimi!! Delicious always and great service!! We take to go as well through Postmate when we crave the best rolls and sashimi! read more

I actually work really close to this place and I personally love sushi, so I was excited that Koco popped up. They got a pretty good bento box deal for lunch going on I must say. ITEMS I LOVED: - Two-Item Bento Box: so this comes with a delicious salad and miso soup on the side. You choose two items and it comes with rice. Personally, I get the salmon teriyaki and the spicy tuna cut roll. They are the perfect pairing and make for a wonderful lunch. SERVICE: I think this could be better. I've only ever taken out, but sometimes when you get there, they try to serve other people first before they do you. I know they are small and busy with one person at the front, so I get how it can be tough. PRICE: two item bento box comes at $11.99! Compared to 4th St Market, which is where I would typically get food, this is pretty good of a deal. Overall, it's a great place for me to grab lunch when at work. Definitely recommend :) read more

i stumbled upon this place last min and im so glad i went! i was surprised by how yummy everything was. it's a cute little spot with a good amount of seating and the lady at the front (i think shes the owner) was SOOO sweet and attentive. every time i requested for something she was ON it! the menu is expansive but straightforward and has all of the sushi necessities + incorporation of korean food, i rly recommend checking this spot out i got the seared salmon nigiri, dragon roll, and baked salmon roll. the salmon nigiri pieces were HUGE and sooo flavorful and soft and most importantly FRESHHH ‍ i was so tempted to order more!! def ordering their other nigiri next time i was surprised by how good it was i literally devoured it in 30 secs the baked rolls were also super delicious too! they were high quality with fresh ingredients and they were rly filling without it being too overpowering read more

Across the street from 7-11 and the UCI Family Health Center, as of the time of the review you can also spot it by the "now open" sign in the pictures attached with this review. Though there are many sushi restaurants scattered throughout OC, Koco is a prime example of a small family owned shop designed and run with care. It shows in all aspects you will read about below. ==Interior== Though the exterior is unassuming, the interior has fantastic artwork and unintrussive pop music playing in the background that somebody in the family has seemed to handpick. COVID or not, the seating between tables is spacious enough that, accompanied with the music, you can hold a private conversation while still not yelling. ==Service== Given the light-moderate foot traffic, the cashier and the server are one in the same. Classic sign of a family business, all the more reason to support! ==Food== I decided on the two item bento box after playfully declining the upselling of the 3-item. The salmon roll was pretty standard and need no further mention. The shrimp tempura was just perfect. Fried light enough that the coating was crisp and airy rather than dense and hard from over cooking. They managed to just fry it enough so that I also didn't have a mouth full of wet batter. Although not primarily a boba shop, I decided to give the ube boba a try. The boba pearls themselves were soft and probably boiled right before ordering rather than in a batch, likely given that the drinks do not get ordered that often. The ube drink itself came out with an unpleasant sour taste that I was not expected. I would recommend against the ube particularly, although the other flavors I cannot comment on. ==Overall== Koco has a few of their items to improve or take out completely from their menu, but what items they do get right are worth the trip. The dining experience is pleasant overall, and being a small family business rather than a set menu with delegation makes for a recipe for a potentially great restaurant. Looking forward to seeing how Koco improves over time. read more

This has been my favorite local sushi restuarant for awhile now. Great food, great price, great service. This place is a hidden gem.

So I was on the search for a soup that had udon noodles and Koco pulled up on DoorDash as I wanted it delivered. I also checked the reviews from Yelp and so therefore I was confident in ordering. I ordered the Beef Udon soup and for flavor thumbs up. I also ordered the gyoza and the crab shrimp hand roll. Everything was great.. the only thing the crab shrimp hand roll should have stated imitation crab not just crab that's misleading all I am saying don't expect real crab. It was good though for what it was.. so my rating everything based on quality and flavor. read more
