Sushi Ko — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

Can't comment on the food because we never got it while dining in. Lost patience with this place after 45 minutes (they claim it was more like 30 min but a phone call I made after my order showed 45 min when we got here on a Tuesday evening at 8:30pm. Did they take 15 min just to put my order in the system??). Anyway this place needs serious Operational help. The place was pretty empty on the first floor with 2 women celebrating a bday who were done eating and a larger party upstairs. We are a party of 5 with 2 children age 4 and 7 who were famished after a long day at the beach). After 30 minutes went by, I've requested the first male waiter that they check on the food for us and to get the kids their food first because it's 9pm at this point. He gives me a quick nod and nothing. Another 5 minutes go by and I flag down a female waitress expressing that I'm getting upset and to PLEASE at least get the eel avocado rolls to the children. She promises the food is almost ready. More food goes by us to go upstairs and more delivery orders continue to be filled. Third time I go up to the Sushi counter to tell them please bring my kids their food, they are starving it's been 45 minutes. After another 5 minutes I gave up and insisted my family get up and go. It's only then the the lady in charge seems to care or to take notice and the eel avocados come out. By this time it's too late. I offered to purchase the eel avocado rolls but we are leaving. She tells me they are Crazy Busy (likely from the non stop take out orders they keep filling). They need to learn to prioritize people dining in first. They also need to learn how to at least deliver some or part of my large order to at least appease patrons who are waiting so long. Or if they are that busy, tell me before I sit down, so that I can decide to go somewhere else instead of wasting my time and making my kids go hungry for so long. While they offered to give us the ready made rolls for free, I lost all appetite at this point and we left. I went around the corner to another sushi place to get my rolls to go and it too only 5 minutes. Won't be coming back until they hire a good Operational Manager that knows how manage and prioritize orders. Again can't comment on food quality, the the service is...

I absolutely love Sushi Ko. Since my oldest started college at Hofstra University last year we have been here to eat multiple times. Everytime everything is always fresh and delicious. The staff are always kind and very attentive. The roll selection is amazing they have a diverse variety that will please anyone's pallet. We always try to get different rolls with each visit so we can eventually try them all and so far there has not been any rolls that we didn't like. Our favorite however is the tricolor sushi pieces with the black rice, yes I said black rice! It has a slightly nutty flavor to me but oh so delicious and it's healthier for you then white rice. You can get the black rice in your rolls as well but I think it's better suited for Nigiri. It's the only place I've ever know that offers black rice. No matter what you get off the menu here you will not be disappointed it's a great...

If above 5 star can be left, it would. Owners James and Jasmine have “knocked it out of the park” with their new location. Food, exceptional, service, superb, and ambience incredible…. By far the best and freshest sushi in all of Long Island, if not the entire regional area… Not sure where to start with the food as it is all incredible. Sashimi and sushi rolls a must. Fan favorites for us are the Passion roll, Maralyn Mon-roll, and the surf and turf roll… Kumumato oysters are exceptional, and Salmon, Tuna, and Toro Sashimi are the freshest around.. Tuna/Salmon crudo appetizers are a must… Dragonfruit Mojito and Machata Martini are definitely worth trying along with their fine selection of Sake… Reservations are a must… Cannot say enough about this exceptional restaurant… Love, caring, and experienced skill in each and every...
