    Sushi was creative and excellent. Staff couldn't be kinder. The renovation came out great. Modern vibe. Intimate space. Ideal for adults dinner on Friday and Saturdays. I recommend sitting at the bar and ordering omakase.

    Decided to give the full 18 courses Omakasa experience a try. Very glad I did. It is a much different experience than eating sushi with the traditional soy sauce, ginger and wasabi condiments. The chef will prepare something that compliments the flavor of the fish that the traditional condiments can't match. Wish I had recorded everything James had explained about each course. Posting pictures of a few courses doesn't do the experience justice. I recommend giving the Omakasa a try perhaps when you have something special to celebrate.

    Sushi Ko opened their new location and I think maybe the focus on the new chic aesthetic caused the food to get overlooked. There's plenty of sushi places in the area but of course I wanted to try the new spot especially when it's giving an upscale vibe. The sashimi is very thin compared to most I've had which felt stingy. The chicken lettuce wraps were mostly veggies and came with oil and vinegar rather than hoisin. Even the carrot ginger dressing that came with the salad was kind of off. The black rice is good and the green dragon yellowtail roll was just mid, but that was about it. Maybe they're getting their footing or perhaps it is different dinning in(I got takeout) because it seems that people liked the previous location

    Wow. We have been waiting for Sushi Ko to reopen for months. It was the best sushi around. It was worth the wait! The new place, while smaller is absolutely gorgeous. Clean lines and the perfect lighting. Felt like in a Michelin star restaurant in Manhattan and not on Merrick Ave in Merrick. The food is just as good if not better than we remembered. Started with their take on roast pork buns. Light, fluffy buns with perfectly cooked pork and hoisin. Awesome. We had the pork gyoza which were crispy and packed with flavorful pork. The seaweed salad was delicious with the right amount of spice. For dinner, my daughter was thrilled. She ordered the Maki combo which is all the rolls she usually gets. She loved it. My wife had the miso ramen. She loved it. Super flavorful broth, chewy noodles and tons of vegetables (she asked for no meat). My son had a few rolls and some tamago which he loved and I had the sushi/sashimi combo. It was fantastic. Probably the best octopus I have had in a sushi restaurant. It was super tender, not chewy at all and great flavor. It was so nice seeing the restaurant so busy. The owners are wonderful people with children in the local school district. These are the types of places I like to support. It doesn't hurt that the food is the best! Can't wait to return.

    Sushi was delicious and fresh. The service was great and the ambiance was modern and chic. Would totally recommend!

    Outstanding! Fresh sushi and one of the top sushi spots in Merrick/Bellmore area. Overall ambiance has limitations and dates but service top notch with creative, flavorful and fresh sushi rolls. Will definitely visit again as this has become gold standard for sushi in this area.

    While I often indulge in the luxury of posh omakase, there's something special about the understated simplicity at Sushi Ko on Long Island. When I'm the only one at the sushi bar, the owner/chef steps out and personally crafts each piece, coaching his colleague on every detail right in front of me. It feels like I've got the whole place to myself, with each bite thoughtfully explained. A truly intimate sushi experience.

First thing I noticed is that this place is NOT stroller/wheelchair friendly - to get into the restaurant there are steps, to get to the bathroom, there are steps, and the tables are quite close together so any strollers or wheelchairs would be in the way. The food, however, was just delish! We ordered the hot and sour soup (I don't recommend this) to start, along with the spicy Naruto cucumber roll, which was absolutely fantastic! So great for anyone looking for a low carb option. For mains, we ordered Thai curry, the double delight, and shrimp fried rice. The double delight was absolutely phenomenal! The fish was cooked perfectly, and so was the shrimp - the sauce was sweet with a very small kick, and complimented the dish so so well! The fried rice was my fave - they truly put magic in this, it was so simple but soooo delicious!!!!! The Thai curry was so so, admittedly it wasn't much of a Thai curry, it tasted more like they used a curry powder instead of a traditional Thai curry paste. Still not terrible though! Overall ok experience, but the food was great, so I'd certainly order from here again, but most likely to enjoy at home as opposed to coming in person!

The vibe is modern and comfortable, perfect for a casual dinner or date night. Hands down one of my go-to spots on Long Island. I'll definitely be back (probably sooner than I should admit ). Highly recommend!

I just loved this innovative ordering and having the dishes delivered straight to my table was a win for a germaphobe. That was until new owners took over, then it was just awful. The food was greasy, and tasteless. The shrimp and soup dumplings had that god awful refrigerator taste. After going a few times, the bad food and the unfriendly faces just stopped me from going back. Recently, I was out with friends who wanted to try Sakura. I was not thrilled but being a team player, I decided to go. I am happy to say that the food quality has improved. Most dishes were good, not as good as the last owners but hey they are getting there. There was a limit on sashimi (30) and a limit on desserts (1) but with all the other options, I don't need more. The atmosphere is still unfriendly but they are trying. The service has gotten better but don't expect a smile when they deliver your food. As for me, I was just happy to have solid food that came out hot and was tasty. I will definitely give Sakura another shot and hopefully they get better and better.

Yes it's AYCE, yes they have a litany of options available, yes everything was fresh. But at the same time...yes the service is awfully slow, yes they cut corners on product (kani salad 95% cucumber and slathered in mayo, barely any crab), yes most of the rolls are almost identical, yes the sashimi is tiny and clearly the cheap end cuts of the fish. Again, not awful but for the $ I'd rather get a fixed portion of better quality product at a traditional sushi bar.
