Sushi-ko

So after reading all the mixed reviews, I decided to purchase the $ 43 Groupon and give Sushi-​Ko a try. My family went on a Tuesday at about 3:30PM. We were told to choose any table and our waitress would be with us shortly. We were greeted by a pleasant waitress, who informed us we were there during happy hour and could order anything on the regular or Tapa menu with our Groupon. This was a big plus considering most places have restrictions. Our party of four shared fried calamari, Marilyn-​Mon Roll, Lisa Lisa, Hot Night, King Cobra, California, and for desert the trio assortment! Geez, we were treated like family. The whole staff kept checking on us to make sure everything was okay, our water glasses were full and the dirty plates were cleared from the table right away. I haven’t had service like this, in a very long time, and was thoroughly impressed! The food was delicious, the prices were great and the service was excellent! We will definitely be back again, real soon!

The restaurant is a little cramped at time but has Great food & a Fun atmosphere. ‼ Def need more than one chef tho. Too much cooking for one person, felt rushed but he kept his cool and tried to give it his best. Too bad there wasn’t enough time for him to show off his moves to entertain the kiddos.
Also, don’t go when they’re close to closing, was the only time my husband and I felt the cold service. Other than that, we enjoyed the food each and every time… price is fair too.

My friends reviewed this place, so I guess I will, too. Frankly, I didn’t think the resto was as amazing as my friends say it was. Was the service good? Yes. Was the food good? Yes. Are the prices ok? Yes. But the way my friends have been talking about it to me, you’d think they just witnessed the arrival of the last Messiah.
We didn’t make a reservation or anything, just walked in. From the looks of it, only the teppanyaki table really needs reservations, anyways. There were still two tables open and plenty of seats at the sushi bar on a Friday night. The server in the front was quick to say hi and told us we could sit down wherever we want to. We sat towards the corner so we could see the lively atmosphere and flames teppanyaki grill. There are a couple of TVs around the room, so people don’t get bored. It’s probably a good thing too, if sports are playing.
I’m not really a big fan of fresh fish, so I ordered the pork belly bowl for myself. That’s one of the plus points about this place. It has plenty of options for people who don’t like sushi. The food was pretty good. It came in a timely manner and looked appetizing. The pork belly tasted juicy and included rice, so that was good.
We purchased a groupon deal online before we checked out. The paying process was simple enough, and they do split checks, but then it gets complicated with the discount, so I recommend just paying it all on one bill and figuring it out after.
Altogether, I liked this place, and I would probably go back if my friends want to eat sushi again.

Worst service ever! We got sat and waited for 20 minutes before someone greeted us. We would try and get servers attention and they would say «sorry» and walk away. Food is good but service is very poor.

This was my first time having Teppanyaki and the overall experience was really awesome. The chef was very friendly and easy-​going. I split an order of rib-​eye and shrimp with my friend (we had a groupon deal). Both of the rib-​eye and shrimp was on point. The rib-​eye was cooked just right; the meat was tender and juicy. Their shrimp was probably one of the best I’ve had in Las Vegas. The amount of food was definitively worth the price. Of course, I paid even less with the groupon so it was really worth. If you’re looking for good food, good Teppanyaki, this is definitively the place to go!

Came here during lunch on a weekday. Wasn’t that busy with just another 3, 4 tables. Everyone kept waiting for their food for over 40 minutes, while the waitress just kept apologizing. Mind you some of these folks were on their lunch break so they didn’t have all day (nor should they have to wait all day). Our order finally came and they actually got one of the rolls wrong. Our consolation prize was a little piece of mochi and the pathetic excuse that their kitchen was backed up. The quality of the sushi wasn’t anything spectacular either, there are easily many different places nearby that are tastier and offer much less of a wait. Do not go.

Tried ordering pickup from them. The estimated time it would be ready stated 10 – 25 minutes. After waiting an hour I cancelled my order. It was a rare busy night for them apparantly but an apology would have been nice.

First time i’ve ever eatin teppan and i’m so glad it was here. The sevice was great, the teppan chief, Nick, was super funny and great at keeping the conversation going and interesting. Not to mention the teppan show was like nithing i’ve ever seen before.
Speaking of the food. Wow. I ordered the ribeye and shrimp and omg it was amazing. The steak was cooked exactly the way i wanted and the shrimps were out of this world. Not to mention the fried rice and vegetables.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend

Amazing food and amazing service. Loved everything and they went the extra mile for our business. New go to sushi.

I went to this restaurant with a party of 5 to have hibachi. Upon asking for hibachi the host informed us that it would take at least 15 – 20 min for the chef to even start cooking because there was a party before us. They only had one hibachi chef that night, I am not sure if this is a regular thing because they have 4 cook tops.
Since there was a little wait expected we ordered some appetizers (seaweed salad, fried oyster, rock shrimp, and chicken wings) I would say all of it was ok, not something I would go back for though.
Once the chef came he was really friendly and talkative like all hibachi chefs are. Although two in our party ordered their steak medium rare and he was talking so much he over cooked it a little.
Overall it was okay but I would probably go to Geisha House next time.

Service was not that good, & the miso glazed black cod was extremely salty, not to mention the fish was small enough to eat in one bite. Menu is out of date as well.
Server received the one star.

I got food poisoning last month. I called multiple times but since they do not answer the phone and their website email does not work this was unfortunately my only recourse. My intention was to advise them of the problem so they could investigate the cause and work with their staff on keeping a clean environment to avoid cross contamination. I was so sick I honestly thought I was going to die. Thank god for activated charcoal this saved me from s trip to the emergency room. I loved sushi but this place has me really turns off. I will definitely not go back. I’m sorry for venting on Unilocal but when they do not answer their phone number, google number or have a valid email this is the option.

Great sushi ! I sat at the bar the service was great, I ordered the little tokyo roll and salmon sashimi, you can taste the freshness on the first bite, highly recommended, I sure will be back

This place is awesome! It was my first time having sushi in my entire life and was amazed with the unique rolls and restaurants atmosphere. The workers there were very friendly and were able to help me decide on some rolls. I suggest the Lisa Lisa roll very good roll. Definitely will be returning!

New owner. We were really surprised the best house salad, YakiUdon was better than the last time we ate here also the best in town the fried rice was awesome. Overall experience was excellent we had to compliment the Chef.

We went here Friday night, first time back in years… total mistake. Waitress earned the single star, she was good. In fact, she was so enthusiastic about their food that she could probably talk a vegan into trying stuff. Word of warning, though, don’t.
First, the interior. Dirty, dated, scuffed. Did I mention dirty?
Ordered a variety of foods:
Pink Taco — lettuce wrapped around fried fish with a flavorful, spicy sauce. Be careful, though, it’s main purpose is to pull you into thinking you’re going to have a great dinner.
Foie Gras — while wrapping sashimi around tiny dabs of foie gras might be innovative, each would have been better without the other. You get two very tiny pieces for $ 5.
Sonomono Salad — Hubby loved, but I would give it an «okay». Both of us agree, though, that it was the best part of the meal.
Short Ribs — Hubby ordered, then the waitress returned and let him know they were out of them. At 7pm on a Friday.
Chicken Wings — There’s 5 in an order (despite what the waitress had said) and they were properly cooked. The Korean chili sauce was good but the after-​taste wasn’t.
Various nigiri — none of it was fresh. It was either not sushi-​grade or badly cut, not sure which, but it is the only time I have spit sushi out of my mouth. We didn’t get ill, but we did get repulsed.
Lemon Roll — was actually good, initially, but then I bit into something that crunched and there was nothing in the ingredients that would crunch. Didn’t eat further and tried not to think too much about that crunch.
When we complained, our waitress disappeared for a while then returned with an offer of $ 20 off our next visit, which we laughingly refused. We asked to pay so we could leave, but she disappeared again. This time, she returned with a comped meal where we only paid for the parts we liked. She handled that part well, but it doesn’t change the fact that the meal was disgusting and we will never return.

Love the freshness of this place, the new menu is awesome. Be sure to order the oysters, specially the ones from Oregon.
Great variety of sashimi, nigiri, and rolls, if you’re into that.
Simon has great experience in the art of sushi making.

I had a great time here. I wanted to take my Dad to a teppanyaki dinner that wasn’t Benihana. I found this restaurant via Unilocal (of course) and it’s close to where we live so we gave it a try. I’m SO glad I did. The restaurant for the most part is a sushi joint. They have 2 teppanyaki tables that seat 8 – 10.
We arrived super early for our reservation so there wasn’t room for us at any tables. The hostess was extremely apologetic even though we were the ones 40 minutes early. She seated us at the sushi bar and we were immediately served drinks & salads while we waited. Throughout the night, the service was excellent. Wow what a show! Our Chef put any Benihana chef to shame. We were the only people at our table so we got a private show. He entertained us and had us laughing nonstop. The food btw was excellent. So much food!
Benihana who? This is my new go-​to spot in Vegas.
PS. I read another review where a customer spoke of a bad experience with a waitress. The waitress responded via Unilocal with an apology. To me, that means everything.

In the past year it’s gone from decent to bad to worse. Hello and welcome to my first negative Unilocal review.
Sushi ko has changed management a time or two which I’ve hoped would set the ship back on course but today is my last time seeing if it’ll get better.
The employees are not personable anymore and untrained. I used to go several times a week and now I just sat for 30 minutes with no one even confirming my order was in or talking to me. The new chefs look very tired and have no character. They looked sad and didn’t talk to me even once. It wasn’t very busy and I notice the new manager is replying to other Unilocalers with a lot of excuses — won’t work here.
The food has gotten worse. This place has the worst cucumber salad I’ve ever seen. The portion sizes of my salmon salmon roll has noticeably decreased over time and the prices have increased.
Do you want more business? Bad Unilocal reviews and poor product /​customer service isn’t the way to do it.
The cherry on top is I had to kindly ask someone for a check to pay and when I left the people that ignored me followed me to the door panicking to ask if I had paid. Now I’m stealing? Miss, I’ve been to your establishment 50+ times this year and have seen you on most of them.
Here attached is what I get for $ 30 here now… Notice the packaging is upside-​down.
Edit: I calculated that I was a $ 1500 to $ 3000 a year customer.
Edit 2: They messed up my order. Wow.

As others have said, I stopped in here after receiving a discount coupon– sign up for their email group to get one yourself, or use their current Unilocal deal. Once the discount got me in the door, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and service.
Specials board on the back wall alerted us to fresh sashimi options– selected a 9-​piece sampler with two oysters, for $ 15. The mixed shrimp and veggie tempura platter was a large portion, served hot and fresh out of the fryer. Batter was thin, oil was fresh, veggies were crisp, more than fair for $ 9. But the rolls really surprised us: Firestarter and Little Tokyo were both large, fresh rolls, with tasty sauces. I’d come back for more of their specialty rolls.
I was genuinely surprised to have such a positive experience, given the mixed reviews and the discounts available. Regular pricing is a bit high, but the fish is fresh and the dishes are well-​prepared. Many of the lower reviews seem to be posted by former fans of the previous ownership– maybe this spot used to be even better, but my experience was worth 4 solid stars.
