Very good food. Service was fantastic. Our server, Tony, made great suggestions, provided excellent hospitality and managed our evening perfectly. Highly recommend it and ask for Tony.

This spot not only offered exceptional customer service but also served outstanding food. The tuna pizza with truffle was my absolute favorite dish, and we also enjoyed a beautifully combined scallop dish with uni. We paired the tuna with Rose, and the combination was just exquisite. Every dish on the menu is phenomenal. The hostess was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend visiting this place - the staff truly loves their job.

We sat outside on a beautiful evening. Macy greeted us incredibly kindly, made us feel good about the place from the start (a wonderful first impression). Sylvia helped us choose great wine and the food was great start to finish. Definitely will go back.!

Very disappointing now. Was a frequent patron since they opened, unfortunately the service is terrible and not worth going back when there are plenty of other delicious Asian Fusion options in Sarasota. Our waiter was rude (apparently there have been other complaints about him so why was this not rectified?), ridiculous wait for drinks and half our table had to wait almost 10 minutes longer until their meals were served. KOJO IS A NO GO unless you hang at the bar.

We were here for the first time to celebrate our close friend's birthday. From the time we sat down until we left, 3 hours later, we experienced excellent service, amazing food, and an upbeat/contemporary decor which included the most comfortable cushioned seats. Melissa and Canaan welcomed us, provided menu suggestions and checked on us throughout the evening. From the best brussel sprouts I've ever tasted, to the spicey tuna maki, to the scallops special and the Shanghai noodles - everything was perfection. Looking forward to our next dinner.

Food was really amazing!!! Everything was great, the edamame with lemon and salt blew my bf and I away. We also had the shrimp katsu bao bun which was extremely tasty as well!! I had the wagyu beef noodles which was extremely well made and my boyfriend had the Shanghai noodles which he loved too. We shared a shrimp tempura roll which was excellent but it does fall apart easily. The best part was for sure the matcha mochi donuts. So good!! Service was excellent as well. I swear my cup didn’t go below half way full, and neither my boyfriend nor I ever had to pick up the water to fill our cups, any server who noticed we had drank a little would come and fill up our cups. Ours waiter didn’t tell us his name but I’ll address him as man bun and he was super cool! Made sure to check on us and seemed to always be there when we needed him. They also pack your to gos for you!! So fancy

We showed up on a weekday evening with a reservation and early December. We seated at the sushi bar. Everything was perfect. Very attentive service. The cocktails were delicious. We went a little crazy with the menu and ordered way too much. Food ended up taking quite a bit of it to go, we got another whole meal out of it. We had sushi, edamame, brussels sprouts, fried rice, and a couple of the main entrées and everything was perfect. It was fun to sit at the sushi bar and look right in the kitchen and watch how everything operated back there. Everything was executed perfectly. Definitely will go back next time. I’m in the area. Ample parking in the connected parking garage. The decor was beautiful as well. Looks like they can accommodate some larger groups. Parking: The parking garage is connected

The food is lacking presentations. There are very small portions for a lot of money... but at least, they should be more decorated..

I’ve been coming here for three years and my family and I love it however, last night something seemed off with the Nigri. Woke up this morning with very bad food poisoning. Sad to say that was my last trip there.
