Kozo Sushi: Reviews & Ratings
Kozo is a convenient and service is fast when I'm craving for sushi. Place is very clean. Staff are friendly and a lot of selection on the menu. Sorry no pictures cuz I eat it right away when I'm hungry. I always get the order the California temaki and soba with shrimp tempura.
Kozo is a classic. Been coming to this spot since the 90s. Love me a handroll or a spicy ahi bowl. There is definitely better quality in Hawaii, but there's something familiar and lovely about Kozo. I think the best reason to come here is for a party platter. Solid options for a potluck.
Sushi my way fast! That's what my OG Kozo Sushi has always been. Gosh it takes me back to the days when I'd visit a family friend who'd always host the ultimate party gathering which was my dad's best friend and would always be so generously kind in every way. Mom would always make somethings that she knows they love but in addition pick up the platter from Kozo Sushi. Fast forward to their insane menu they have as it expanded to bowls, udon and even a make your own plate combo is quite mind boggling though I still do love their classic sushi as it's the nostalgia I've grown to love and is still the same in my opinion and knowing that I can walk in and get my order done the way I like is the best and they are very fast making it all to order. This location is in the Old Stadium Square so parking can be quite a challenge at times but I never really have problems finding a stall if any with a tiny bit of patience. The shop is quite small and nope no seating whatsoever though the vibe here is nice just a grab and go place is really what this locations is. Thank you!
Handrolls are made super fast. Makis and bowls take a little bit longer but still really fast. Kozo Sushi is ideal for lunch to go when you're short on time. The food tastes fresh and are reasonably priced. Found out today there's restrooms in the building! You can borrow a key in exchange for your ID. Restrooms are on the second floor, accessible from the building entrance that's by Lunar Tea (formerly the hotpot place). The only con about this place is the parking situation. Limited stalls for so many businesses including Lunar Tea, Cocina de Roja, Golden Eagle, L&L, India Bazaar, A Cake Life, and Aloha Vietnamese Cuisine. Parking gets hairy during dinner time. I've seen people disregard the time limits on the parking stalls.
