We got to go food but the staff were so friendly and welcoming, confirming they included everything in our order which I found very professional and kind to take the time to do. The food was delicious! I will definitely be back. Heads up the entrance is behind so you won't see it from the parking lot. Tons of parking close by. Clean and well organized inside read more

Sushi Ko - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We decided to eat here for lunch on Tuesday. Both my partner and I got food poisoning that lasted a few days. Hours and hours of puking, and many visits to the toilet. We're barely recovering now. There was a hair in one of the rolls that we ate. Another roll did taste a bit old.. but we were too hungry to call it out at that moment. Seems like other people got food poisoning around the same time as us based on the previous review. Will never be back here again. read more

It was ok sushi. It was good but I've also had better. We were literally the only ones in the restaurant. It is pretty hidden The scallops on the roll I got were delicious. Very unique roll read more

If I could give this -10/10 stars I would. In what world do people leave raw fish out of the fridge to go bad and then serve it to people? Well that's what happens here. My friends and I came here and ordered sashimi and we all puked for two straight days. Do not come here unless you're prepared for that. Service was also terrible. read more

My wife and I had lunch @ Sushi Ko. We both ordered the Sashimi & Tempura combination lunch, added in a Dragon Roll, and a Sapporo beer. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. The dining area was clean and nicely organized with a nice bar and sushi bar. Brittany was our server, she was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Regarding our orders, the sashimi was fresh and the Tempura was very good, and the Dragon Roll was delicious. Plenty of free parking and access is excellent. NOTE: it can be a little hard to spot Sushi Ko from the parking lot as it is tucked back in a courtyard next door to Chompie's and Club Pilates. read more

Excellent food and service. We would recommend bringing your own wine and paying a corkage fee because their wine cost per bottle is $38-$40 and is fairly mediocre. Certainly not top brand wine with a few exceptions but wonderful food and the cost for sushi rolls averages $13-$15 versus what we normally see is 18 and $20 per roll. We would highly recommend sushi Co. read more

When someone mentions Sushi Ko, I get nostalgic. This used to be one of the main sushi places my friends and I would go to, back when we were still in middle school and high school and it's still here over fifteen years later. Someone recently suggested going there for lunch and I said, why not? After looking over the lunch menu, we ordered pan fried gyoza to share, an order of Sushi set B, nabeyaki udon, and tempura udon. The gyoza, a classic one can't go wrong with, was cooked to perfection; crispy on one side. The nigiri part of sushi set B was okay. The fish was of average quality. Unfortunately, neither of us were fans of their California roll. Now for their udon, the noodles themselves had a nice texture, bounce, and chew to them. However, the broth of both of our soups were overly salty for our liking. Overall, the nostalgia was nice but there wasn't anything outstanding about our meal that would make me go out of my way to return any time soon. Not much has changed about this place ambiance wise. The interior is still cozy, intimate and inviting. The service was okay, a bit brash at times. read more

This place is super cute environment! It is sort of hard to find in the shopping plaza - it's is tucked away in the back! The waitress was super helpful and sweet and I could tell she enjoyed making sure people had a good experience. The food was incredible! I was there for a meeting so the food was ordered for me. I'm not sure what all I ate off the menu but you can see the pictures! We were seated in the back of the restaurant, where there was a private, quiet area for us to have a great meeting! read more

Worst Sushi I've ever had. Made two lunch orders on 1/22/26 for $177 and the next one was for $34. The dragon rolls looked nothing like they should have. The eel on top was like rubber. I thought I was chewing on a giant rubber band. The spicy scallop Nigiri / hand roll had no resemblance of scallops. It was like mush. Ordered two pieces of yellowtail Nigiri and it tasted old and fishy. What a disappointment. I will not be returning to Sushi Ko. read more

This place has been around for over 25 years and it's still kickin! Very good pricing and the food quality is still up there. The staff is amazingly nice and the menu is huge. Obviously they have all the sushi. But they also have Ramen, udon, katsu, and so much more. read more

We've been going here for years. There have been some staffing changes lately, which is common, but the amount of change in food quality is shocking. The gyoza which has always been our go to starter is either no longer made in house, or has been swapped out with a much lower quality product. :( we've noticed a drop in the fish quality also , which is what good sushi is all about. We'll give it one more try , but after the last 2 visits, our hopes aren't held that high. read more

We've enjoyed Sushi Ko even back when previous owners ran it. It is even better now- the best, freshest and most delicious in town. The chefs are masters and make the experience even more enjoyable when seated at the bar. Their skill is as great as their friendliness. Everyone working there is fully at your service too, with smiles. We like to experiment with both new items we pick but especially 'omakase' style (ask the chef!). Today Chef Mo was at the bar. You'll enjoy all of their menu, especially if you're an adventurous eater. read more

Food was great and the lunch prices are such a good deal! So much quality and tasty sushi for the price! Onto the reason for the low star part: While going there for lunch yesterday with my friend, her 1 year old and my newborn, a cockroach climbed from our booth and onto my child's cart seat that was on my side in the booth... luckily I was holding my son but we all jumped up from the table. They took my car seat and shook the roach into the trash. There was no real recognition of what just happened and no apology. While the food is really good and price was great I don't think I can go back there again... the roach was 1.5 to 2 inches long First time for everything I guess. read more

Amazing food! The miso soup is so flavorful. We leave extremely satisfied every time! Also great service! read more

Sushi Ko - Crunchy roll and shrimp tempura. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Great service and excellent food. Haven't been here for years but it's still top notch.

Sushi here is decent and the service is good. I've also had a takeout ramen and the way the food was packed was quite good as the soup was separated from the noodles to prevent the noodles from getting soggy. This restaurant has been around for awhile but it looks like the little Japanese restaurants that I've seen when we lived in Tokyo, made me feel like I was back in Japan. read more

Sushi Ko has been here longer than I've been to Arizona and their food has been consistent for the past 20 years. While it may not be the best Japanese restaurant in the area, they offer comfort food. I come here to eat once every few years and I noticed their price went up in the past 20 years. (Well not that significantly much but cost of living went up too). Menu has changed a little over the year but some of them are still here. On this particular time, I came here for dinner and had tempura and sashimi dinner. The meal comes with miso soup and cucumber sunomono salad. They put generous amount of tofu, I like miso soup as they helps me feel relaxed. Tempura was cooked perfectly. It always did whenever I had tempura here. Perhaps they still have the same chef in the back? Sashimi was good too. They have nabe (hot pot) on the menu, something they always had from the beginning. When it gets colder outside, it will be a perfect season to enjoy hot pot and I should come back here to try. read more

Love this spot one of my favorite sushi spots I've ever been to. I usually sit at the sushi bar and have about 4-5 different rolls some of which aren't on the menu. The service is great and I love being a regular here. read more

If you enjoy Sushi, don't go anywhere else. By far the best sushi I ve had in my life. The ginger salad to start is amazing. Then a dragon roll followed by scalloped dynamite roll. Wow....... enjoy. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, and overall a great experience. Highly recommend the sushi KO specialties

Overall a great restaurant, very great service and the servers are amazing. The food is also great love everything but my personal is sushico roll. Crazy Ambiance as well perfect for hanging out and chill. read more

This is hands down the best sushi in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. I did not say the fanciest. But if you want the absolute freshest fish that is cut properly and sushi rice properly made, this is the the place. The head chef Mo (previous y of Toyomas) is known for his technique and quality. read more

Being in an inland city in the desert, you might think quality sushi is unavailable. But you'd be wrong. The selections at Sushi Ko were incredible, from the tiny but delicious oysters to the tuna and yellowtail sashimi, from the grilled edamame to the mochi ice cream desserts. Amazing service, great flavor combinations, and beautiful fresh fish. read more

Sushi Ko - So many good things! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This is my favourite place in Scottsdale !!! Amazing food, the server was really nice! Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back read more

Sushi Ko has changed. Either owners, or management or both ... it's that or they just don't care anymore. It used to be our Go-To for Sushi, and close to home was a big plus .. but now they seem to want to use the old reputation instead of performing up to or near par and gain their own. it seems they've changed owners and the staff as well. We keep trying, and hoping "this time" will be better, but we feel more & more each time that we are just wasting our money waiting for the day it all goes back to normal. I'm sorry I can't recommend this place anymore. It was a great ride... but we're out. read more

Awesome place! I eat here very often since moving to AZ. Always extremely clean, staff is friendly and attentive and the food is always amazing and reasonably priced! read more

SushiKo is a decent quality spot for sushi in Phoenix. The nigiri and sashimi quality is mid-grade. Service is great and the whole staff is attentive and very friendly. The other Japanese entree items from the kitchen are worth a try! read more

Sushi Ko - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Low grade quality sushi and extremely overpriced. This is my first and last visit. If you are looking for an authentic tasting sushi restaurant, do not bother coming here. I ordered the dragon roll to go and it was $15.75 + tax, so I ended up paying about $20 including tip for 8 pieces of sushi. The tempura wasn't that crispy and the roll in general didn't taste like anything! The most flavorful thing in the roll was the unagi sauce and it only stood out because it was too sweet. Sauces are supposed to complement, not overpower the dish. I usually order unagi sauce on the side and I'm so glad I forgot because it would have just thrown it away. I'm rating this 2/5 stars because the service was quick and the cashier/hostess was very nice. Plus the roll wasn't extremely horrible but for the price, I definitely expected a bit more. read more

The sushi here only ok they don't use gloves when making sushi and touch knives out of a dirty case then make sushi without washing hands or using gloves also wipe hands on a wet towel over and over and the Water they serve tastes like fish were swimming in it disgustingly awful water served they should filter it or bottle it read more

So glad to have such an awesome local sushi restaurant in the neighborhood. Freshest fish, killer creations, and all the wonderful goodness that captivates and supercharges your taste buds from the 1st bite! SushiKo is one place not to be missed. read more

Very disappointed considering they had a reasonable rating. Place was clean and were not that busy. We ordered appetizers, which didn't come until we were almost done with our meal. The 2 women that were going back and forth seem a bit lost and unsure of our order. Salad dressing was just a glob of who knows what. Good thing our Las Vegas Roll and Katsu Dinner were tasty. You would think they would of comped us for the late appetizer, but to no avail, they even charged us for the spicy mayo, a simple condiment. I would not recommend this place. I had high hope as this was our 1st visit. read more

Yes, hidden. This petite Japanese restaurant (that also has some great Korean dishes) sits out of sight, but it is worth searching for. We were excited to find another sushi restaurant in the area... this one has more appealing noodle, rice, and meat dishes that appeal to the kids. They even have Shabu Shabu!! A good number of sake choices are available, but I haven't seen a happy hour offered at all. One of our favorite locations will do $1 sake on a happy hour, so maybe just a suggestion for something to add in the future? Although it was a bit pricey, we will be back because there is something on the menu for everyone. read more

Still the best and most authentic sushi restaurant in the Valley. Small, intimate, and authentic. Weekend nights are busy, so call ahead of time!!! Ask what's fresh and/or "just in". Dai-san is a master. read more

Fantastic food and wonderful service! We recently tried out this hidden gem. Arriving for dinner, we were greeted by the friendly staff and seated immediately. Our server was nice, offered us options for an allergy and coordinated our needs with the chef. Our food came out quickly and was very delicious. As were leaving we meet the owner, Azroy, who was going from table to table with a pitcher of water. What a great guy that cares about his customers! If you want delicious fresh sushi with options, at a great price, and wonderful service, this is your spot! read more

This was my parents favorite sushi restaurant so I decided to take my mom back for a special treat. We arrived just as they opened and were seated right away but after that things went down hill. The server/hostess was distracted and actually walked away from us as we were ordering to seat another customer! Then our food came out at different times. In fact my mom finished her food by the time I got mine and I was finished when our third guest received his food. This is inexcusable! When asked about the problem we were told online orders caused the issue. Again, inexcusable! The order was taken and should have received the same care assembling it as the online order. Surely they didn't have to come back three times to get their three meals! My mom enjoyed her meal, mine was gross, and the third meal was good but they served his soup and soba noodles together (and after we were finished) so half was cold. I still gave four stars because the place looks lovely, I may have ordered wrong, and the service/kitchen issues may be a one off issue. We will try a read more

Hidden in the corner of a strip mall. Very good service. Small but nice bar area. Had sushi special - it was very good. My wife wanted a sushi roll that wasn't on the menu but chef made it gladly. It was great. Beautiful small private dining room in back. Also have kitchen for tempura, etc. We will try that for a lunch next time. read more

We had a fabulous experience at this beautifully decorated restaurant! The food was unbelievable. We sat at the sushi bar and Chef Momo was incredible to watch as he delivered countless delectable creations. He asked us what we liked and even customized some rolls for us, which were to die for. The serving staff was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! read more
