This place did not disappoint. It was all so good. So much flavor in every bite. Service and ambiance were nice and quiet too.

I was under the impression the ramen was bone broth as shown in the picture they have up front. This is top ramen with the seasoning back and over cooked meat that they threw in... don't waste your time or money.

Great food and vibes. Decorations were awesome and service was top tier. Spicy tuna roll was the best.

I stopped by Kokku on Valentine's Day 2025 after work, looking for a place to eat with my date. We arrived at 8:15, only to be told they were closing soon and couldn't serve us--not even a to-go order. While I understand closing times, 8:30 is early for a restaurant to shut down on a Friday night, let alone Valentine's Day. Thankfully, the Thai restaurant just a few doors down welcomed us, and our meal there was fantastic. Safe to say, I won't be returning to Kokku.

Sheesh we back at it again baby, this place holds a special place in my heart as it was a set of hot wheels I traded for some leftovers from this place and man since then I have not looked back. I went here today with the fam you know just to get a bite and holy. It's like I had never left. The service was great as the guy brought out our food mad fast. Honestly he's probably a stand user and has ZA WARDOOOO because why did it come out so quick. Not to mention the look of the restaurant is super duper epic. I love their ramen sign they have on the door it's pretty cool. Overall I recommend you give this place a try if you're in the area. I give 5 BIG BOOMS BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOOOOOOOOM

Very disappointed with the tempura. I got the combination, the batter was thin and oily, leaving unpleasant nouth feel. The sweet potatoes were not done. The only redeeming dush was miso soup, but with only 2 chuncks of tofu and no green onions still meh. Overall if was at best strip mall quality. To say the least we will not be returning. read more

Absolutely! Here's an ~85-word review you can use or tweak: This sushi spot is a hidden gem. The fish was incredibly fresh, the rolls were perfectly balanced, and every bite tasted thoughtfully prepared. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was clean, relaxed, and welcoming. Portions were generous, and presentation was beautiful. From classic rolls to specialty creations, everything we ordered was delicious. You can tell quality and care go into the food here. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to and recommending to friends. read more

Every time I have visited this spot, I have always been greeted with kindness and hospitality, so I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the meal itself being "bad." The cuisine has always been excellent, and the atmosphere is fantastic! The sushi in Santa Maria is little and pricey, but it's much better here at Sushi Kokku; the rolls are larger and the price is fair for their size. I heartily urge everyone to visit this location! read more

Compared to supermarket pre-prepared sushi I give this place below market quality. We remembered this place as a good sushi restaurant some 3 years ago and returned this trip, to a grave disappointment. First they got our order wrong. What we got was not enjoyable. The rice is poor, the salmon fish meat was very low quality, texture was off. The hand roll was stuffed with more vegetables and rice than fish. The California roll was barely edible. They struggled with English so ordering was difficult and our baked salmon roll was not baked. Didn't see our order was wrong until we got to hotel. Get better sushi at the supermarket. Only finished half of my order. Hopefully we don't end up sick. read more

This place is always empty like "you could hear your own heartbeat" empty which is wild because the restaurant is huge. You might wonder why. I know why: the food is not fresh. And for a sushi place, where the menu is basically 99% fish, that's kind of the one thing you can't mess up. The whole vibe feels like no one working there actually wants to be there. The ambiance is... let's call it "forgotten mall food court at 9 PM." Dim lights, awkward quiet, and that faint smell that makes you question every life choice that brought you inside. They're also so desperate for customers that they put little signs on every table begging for a good Yelp review in exchange for free pistachio ice cream. Honestly, when your bribe is melting faster than your confidence in the restaurant, that's a red flag. read more

I got a delivery from this place. Spider roll (made with tofu) instead of crab, a tofu salad and shrimp veggie tempura. The worst most disgusting Japanese food I've ever tasted. I threw it all away. The tempera was all soggy when it arrived sitting in some liquid. The shrimp was a joke. All soggy. The spider roll is supposed to have crab in it not tofu and that was sloppily put together and falling apart. Tasted awful. The salad was not appetizing either, and it was just thrown together. This place and crew should be ashamed of itself. I will never order from this place again. What a waste of $42.00 I want my money back. read more

Only meat, onion, and added tofu. It said it would come with slices but it came with chunks of pork that was boiled.. I wanted the slices. The ramen itself was alright. The gyoza/potstickers were good. Probably my favorite. $9 side of kimchi... it was pretty good. Sadly I don't think I'll be back with these prices.

However, we were told that egg wasn't available at the moment and so we weren't able to taste that and saved an extra $2.50 off our bill (expensive for just one egg). We were told that since they just opened, the food would take longer than expected (roughly around 15-20 minutes). However, to our surprise it came in 10 minutes! Now for the food review, it was okay. The ramen was bland and not spicy at all. I had let the server know that it wasn't spicy as was promised and expected and if we could have some spice to add onto it. He came back with a little side of just chili oil, this was a regretful addition because we later found out that it's an additional $1.50 for such a small amount of chili oil, ridiculous. I don't think I'll be returning due to surge in additional prices that we were not aware of and the fact that the food wasn't good.

The fried green tomatoes and the white beet appetizers were standouts. I especially loved the vinegary dressing on the greens of the beet dish. For mains, we got the leek olive potato pizza, the ribeye, and the wood fire poached halibut. The avocado chimichurri that accompanied the ribeye was the perfect balance, and the sautéed greens under the fish were savory with the right amount of bite.

There were 2 gigantic scallops in there, I don't think I've had scallops that massive! The clam chowder was also delicious. My husband enjoyed the fresh shrimp on his salad. Overall, we were very happy with the meal and would totally be back! Another plus, service was super friendly and attentive. 10/10!

My wife wanted to visit a nice restaurant with a view for our anniversary. I opened Apple Maps and…read morechecked the pismo beach area and Ventana Grill was the first restaurant that stood out to me based on location, therefore, I made a reservation. Note that the parking lot, depending on which day you go, can fill up very quickly. The location is right off of the 101 and easy to find. We checked in and was seated within 10 minutes at a booth that overlooked the beautiful views of the Pismo Beach coast line. Our server, a younger black woman, who told us her nickname was 'TiTi', if I'm not mistaken, was wonderful. Her personality and hospitality was infectious and exceeded 5 stars. She brought us fresh hot corn and flour tortillas with a small cup of brown sugar butter and three different salsas to try. Everything was delicious. We ordered the surf and turf special which was a jumbo shrimp on top of a filet mignon that rested on mash potatoes and a creamy/savory white sauce. We also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese. Everything was exceptionally good. My only takeaway would be that I found the food, especially the lobster Mac and cheese to be pretty salty. Definitely excited for my next visit.

Very disappointed in my experience. I've been to Ventana years ago and always enjoyed the food and…read moreservice. But it just wasn't great anymore. The waiter was not very pleasant. He spoke very quickly, didn't smile and seemed to just want to get through the order. In addition, his accent made it even harder to understand. Our drink order was messed up. They gave us the wrong drink as a freebie which we didn't like. I guess to make up for the mix up. Then our dinner came immediately before our tortillas as appetizers. Catch of the day was sea bass with a few veggies and rice. Definitely not special. The flourless chocolate cake was dry. Overall a very underwhelming dinner. So sad. Probably not going back.

We spent a gorgeous Monday afternoon here grazing on appetizers and enjoying the sun. The food was light and refreshing specifically the bruschetta and the calamari. The staff made us feel right at home, which is why our "one drink" turned into a four-hour stay. It's cozy, upscale but down-to-earth, and easily one of my new favorite spots in Pismo.

I recently visited Sushi Kokku, and one of the standout items I tried was a deliciously indulgent deep-fried specialty roll--beautifully topped with sesame seeds, green onions, and a sweet-savory drizzle of sauces. The tempura coating was light and crisp without being greasy, and the inside stayed flavorful and tender. The sauces added just the right balance of sweetness and heat, making each bite rich and satisfying. Beyond the dish itself, Sushi Kokku continues to deliver great value, generous portions, and consistent flavor. The presentation was appealing, and the food came out fresh and hot. If you're craving comfort-style sushi rolls with bold flavors, this place really hits the spot. Overall, a solid choice for casual sushi, especially if you enjoy creative rolls with hearty textures and sauces. I'd happily return to explore more of their menu. read more

The fish tastes fresh, and the presentation is simple but appealing. The atmosphere is another highlight. The environment is very relaxed and chilled, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. It's a great spot whether you're catching up with friends, having a casual dinner, or just craving good sushi in a laid-back setting. Service is friendly and efficient, which adds to the overall pleasant experience. Everything comes together to create a place that feels welcoming and easy to return to. If you're looking for tasty sushi, big portions, and a calm, enjoyable vibe, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended. ! read more

Rolls are thoughtfully composed, not overloaded, letting each ingredient shine. The menu offers both classic options and creative specials, so there's something for purists and adventurous eaters alike. Service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere feels relaxed but polished. It's the kind of place you trust for a great meal every visit without disappointment or unnecessary hype ever. read more
