With Kokyo the surprises never stop coming. And this is not necessarily a good thing.
Each time I visit or get take-out I can never be sure if this is going to be a 1 star or a 4 star experience in terms of the quality of the fish, more evident if you are ordering sashimi.
The Pros:
- The size of their rolls are always huge
- The servers are nice and friendly
- When eating in or getting take-out the order is always ready in record time
The Cons:
- Huge variance in quality of fish
- They keep the tuna and salmon used for rolls chopped (a lot of places do), this reduces the taste/experience
Suggestions:
- When ordering any tuna or salmon roll ask them to put the seaweed on the outside, it makes it very difficult to use pre-chopped/shredded fish so you'll get nice big chucks of fish in your rolls
- If ordering a meal, ask them to add seaweed salad to the normal house salad (a mix of the two), tastes pretty good and costs near nothing
- Ask for low sodium soy, in case you don't do so already. Does wonders for the sushi (apply to nearly all sushi joints)
- If you get take out, check if the order is correct, if they miss something and you call in, you are most likely going to be made to feel like its your mistake (the last time this happened I did not go there for over 6 month)
