K.O. Sushi — Restaurant in Charlotte

Sushi!! Look, let me start off and say how much I love sushi. 1-2 years ago, I wouldn't even touch it. I was missing out for sure. I'm always down to try sushi anywhere (okay, maybe not the gas station sushi). I also work uptown and there are several places near my job that have sushi, even closer than KO.

I decided to take a stroll to KO and pass by my normal sushi place to see how they were, since there always seems to be a line. I placed my order online in advance and I still ended up waiting in line to check in and pay. I have also ordered in person to compare the wait time difference and the online ordering does seem to be slightly faster, but not deal breaking fast.

I always seem to go for the fried seafood in my rolls and I went with the Tempura roll. Unlike most tempura rolls that just have Shrimp tempura and some veggies, they have shrimp, crab, spicy mayo and masago. No veggies! Which, let me tell you, is awesome for me. I don't really like avocado and a lot of sushi has it, but I normally just deal with it. The sushi is some of the best that I've had and I'm kicking myself for not coming sooner.

I also tried the Shrimp Shumai appetizer. The ones I've had at other places uptown very always fried. These were not. However, these were so good. The best I've had so far. Whatever the special sauce is, it's amazing and special to my heart.

The price. Being in uptown you always expect prices to be higher and KO is not only inexpensive, but they are the cheapest I've had in the city. I've picked up some orders for my boss as well and he said it's also some of the best he's had and he came from San Francisco where I've heard they have amazing sushi.

If you are in the area or just want some good sushi, do yourself a flavor and go there ASAP! The lunch rush is around 12-1, so avoid that time, but if you are on a lunch break, the wait isn't terrible like...

Searching for sushi in Charlotte and came across this spot. Small location, no parking on the street but noticed patrons were double parking in front to get their takeout orders. Two small areas to eat at inside, both at the windows on either side of the door and two chairs per section. Must scan the QR code at the cash register to see the menu, but they also have the menu up on the wall behind the cash register.

They offer appetizers, soups, salads, sashimi, Maki rolls, special rolls, drinks, and sides. Extra sides of sauces come with an additional fee. Prices are reasonable for sushi, based on my experience of living in NYC with NYC sushi prices anyway.

Ordered the house and mini house salad, steamed shrimp shumai, chubby roll, and perfect match roll. All to go. Waited about 15 minutes and they had a decent flow of customers coming in and out while we waited. They put their food in Styrofoam, which I haven't seen in a while as NY doesn't really use Styrofoam anymore. But they were willing to put the food in plastic instead, which was great. The guy at the counter taking orders was pleasant and friendly as well.

Food itself was tasty and fresh. Lost one star because the house salad had a small fruit fly in it when we pulled the food out of the bag. Sushi was delicious. They gave forks, chopsticks, napkins and soy sauce packs in the bag. Shumai was also tasty. All together we paid $32.50. They take cash or card.

I'd try them again if I find myself in the area...

This sushi place is in a good location uptown. I got the Philly roll and chicken box. The Philly roll was just average.The chicken and rice tasted really good but the portion size was so small. Customer service here is not good. There's no one there to greet you. No bell or anything to ring. So you just stand there waiting for someone. When they do come they don't apologize and aren't very friendly. They said the food would take 10 to 15 minutes- which is no problem. When we came back in 15 minutes, same thing, nobody was there and our food wasn't ready.I think they could really improve their customer service here.Currently they are not offering dine in. The facility is really small and just has two small...
