    Cute place for a quick lunch. Staff is always always friendly and professional. Food is done quick.

    Very nice sushi place, service was slightly slow, but sushi was really delicious, there is parking in front of the store, prices were reasonable.

    Food taste good but it was pricey for the size of thr actual roll and ingredients that went to it. The Koo roll was very refreshing though... if they named the roll after the restaurant thinking it would be their flagship roll... they are not mistaken. It was very unique, the first roll I have eaten without rice. Service was good, pleasant server. They got our order wrong and gave us gyoza instead of the fried oyster. When we returned the gyoza, they said we can have it for free. Talk about customer service

    Sushi koo has evolved. It used to be better. It's still pretty good. It used to be a good value now it's just ok. There are other joints in LA that produce a higher quality product at about the same price. They have spruced the joint up a bit. Same stools around the sushi bar as ever. Quick service.

    I love my spicy tuna tempura rolls!!

    Quadruple the price but not half as good as it used to be. This used to be the affordable sushi spot. I'm talking back in the Sushi Mac days. Rolls were $1.50 when I first started going and it was cash only. There were no fancy rolls, it was just basic and the only apps were edamame. You got up and got your own condiments. Now I understand why the prices had to increase, but why did the food decline? They don't have to worry about me any longer. This was my first time going in years and it will be my last. There is no longer a draw to go if the food is no longer cheap or good.

    I had a great dinner with my son. First of all, the food was simply amazing fresh and perfect presentation I asked the chef(sand dog) what his recommendations were and he prepared us several plates. Every plate was better than the first. Very compassionate chef truly loves his craft...our server was Donna Seems to know all the regular customers perfect customer service made sure we were OK. I totally recommend this place hands-down Koo sushi another place to add to my list of places to go. Priced just right great neighborhood Great ambience parking is free as long as you're gonna eat at the restaurant. No need to pay for valet They'll let you right in for free.

    Great place for sushi and anything to do with sashimi but I think the portion is too small and the price is not. If you go for the taste, just go! But if consider the price too, probably you'll need twice the budget. I ordered a few separate plates and the chef combined everything into the large plate (called family plate or something). What's inside is not the original family plate. I usually spend $25 for a full meal in LA but, here, it's actually like $50 for me alone to get full. The sashimi pieces are pretty small. The poke bowl was also small. The roll, also, very small. They have macaron ice cream in a mango flavor but I think it tastes 100% more like melon. Yuzu drink was good! Free parking! No validation! Restaurant has parking lot which is great considered the area it's in.

    Really enjoyed this spot. Onsite parking, trendy location, and surprisingly affordable prices for the quality of food, which was very good. Service was prompt and polite. The location itself is small but comfortable, with a single booth seat and the rest on the sushi bar. The food was great. Got a couple rolls and a poke bowl, and I can definitely imagine going back in the future

One of the best sushi spots I've had a in a while actually. We didn't really do any appetizers and went straight in for the fish. Started off with a couple of hand rolls, we did the crab hand roll and O toro hand roll. Crab hand roll wasn't as impressive, I've had better to be honest. I didn't let that experience ruin it for me because the toro hand roll was delicious. I think they add a piece of mint and it complimented the hand roll. Very crunchy nori wrapper and good rice to fish ratio. For our sushi we started with chu toro tuna, salmon belly, and halibut. Super fresh melt in your mouth quality. Halibut was interesting with the truffle, first time definitely won't be the last. We ended it with red snapper and black snapper. Absolutely amazing, I think the black snapper or the red snapper was slightly charred. It was so good. To say the least, this restaurant was worth it!

    The place was packed and loud with music, adults, and kids. I knew what i wanted and ordered but…read moreentire service took nearly an hour and i didn't order drinks or dessert. Super slow. Nice of the chef to switch out roe for halibut for me on my omakase. However, probably the worst omakase I've ever had. No creativity, nothing felt premium, chewy fish, flavors didn't mesh, and half of it was salty. The miso soup wasn't scorching, which i appreciated at first but that meant the last few sips were fairly room temp. The real crab handroll was good. If the price point was $35 sushi set I'd give 5/5 but this is supposed to be premium omakase. I've been to other Sushi Enya locations and had good experiences, so this was very disappointing. Stick to the rolls and nigiri.

My visit was pretty much during the lunch rush. There were seats available at the sushi bar, but you can only order a la carte sushi here, not the specials or combo meals, so I put my name down for a table. The wait was quoted as 10-20 minutes. They come out and call your name; no texting. While waiting, dozens of people came in and out. After 30 minutes, I checked again and they said they had called me, but I did not see or hear them even though I was right outside. Eventually I was seated. The sushi bar is quite large with diners literally touching shoulders. There are 2 dining areas with tables. Service was quick and efficient. Diners include Japanese-speaking Japanese and English-speaking Japanese ( a good sign), plus every other nationality. It was either Infatuation or Eater that recommended ordering the Sashimi Lunch, so that's what I did. It was $26 and included miso soup, tofu, tsukemono (pickled veggies) and rice. The plate had 9 different fish presentations: a spicy tuna poke, a non-spicy poke, cooked tuna, cooked salmon, 3 types of sliced tuna and 2 sliced whitefish. Everything was very fresh and tasty. It seems there may be less waiting if you arrive later into their lunch hours, like around 1:30 pm I would definitely return if the wait wasn't too long for a table. I'm not enough of a sushi afficionado to sit at the bar.

The tuna was so creamy and soft and you could just tell how fresh the quality was. I was shocked. Speaking of tuna we also ordered bluefin tuna nigiri sushi, super fresh and you must order their toro. Quality was so fresh. I wanted to mention some other nigiris that we ordered - halibut with ponzu and snapper with yuzu. Delicious! The waitress was so nice to help us accommodate and we asked for blue crab hand roll.

A lot more focus on creative cocktails and drink pairings instead of just sake or wine. This is a great place to try Japanese whiskey, they even have little lockers where regular patrons can store their expensive bottles they've bought for when they return, and you are welcome to grab an additional drink and chill in the space afterwards if you'd like. The chefs here were a lot more personable and fun with more of a bar vibe than a traditional omakase. Service was great, dedicated bartender was great, and though it's not the best sushi I've ever tasted, I would still bring someone back here for a unique experience. Brought my friend here for her bday and we left full and happy and a little drunk so I'd say it was a successful night!
