Editorial Review for Koko Kitchen – by Robyn Galbos
The Scene
It's a small, crowded corner cafe with high ceilings, a handful of tables and a counter next to the window. The restaurant's backyard has tables for outdoor dining in warmer months. Above the friendly sushi chef, menu boards spell out your options--place your order and they'll call your name when it's ready.
The Food
The chicken teriyaki bowl--tender chicken and vegetables piled over rice--is the most popular menu item and is available in three sizes to satisfy any appetite. Katsu-don (breaded pork cutlet) is a flavorful medley of sprouts, onions, tofu, breaded pork cutlet, egg and seaweed strips served over rice in a sukiyaki sauce. Thick, round rice noodles, tofu and unexpected vegetables--like potatoes and broccoli--make the miso soup udon. The sushi selection is good with numerous rolls and nigiri, each one rolled as it is ordered. (Not served between 3pm and 6pm).

I've had Koko Kitchen's teriyaki and several different sushi rolls, and I've never been disappointed.

I had been recommended to go to Koko's for quite a while - as I eat out about 6x a week and usually sushi 2x a week. I went on a saturday around noon so there would be minimal lines - we did find a seat quickly in the "back" at the sushi bar. I took a look at the menu and it had a limited variety of rolls and had the regular nigiri (nothing unusual). I was hoping - well....maybe a limited variety but probably great at what they do have....not so much. The rolls were average for flavor - nothing above the usual. The Poky Dynamite was rather spicy and also they did not have "light/sushi soy" other than in to go packets. I would say the rolls were average with slightly higher than average prices - all while not having a higher price atmosphere. All in all - it's ok but don't settle for ok when there are a lot of good sushi places downtown with a much better value.
Pros: quaint area
Cons: prices are too high and limited variety
