| - One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, purple rice?! What? Yup... you read that right. This is the only sushi place in the valley that I've been to and have seen PURPLE rice! How cool is that?! Well, it's actually black rice (apparently more nutritional and better for you than even brown rice... who knew?) but it looks purple, which gives the sushi a unique "pop" of color.
The restaurant is cute and small but very welcoming -- the staff has a lot to do with the warm welcome. As soon as you walk in, you'll get greeted by the hostess as well as the sushi chefs working away behind the sushi bar, creating masterpieces of artwork almost too pretty to eat.
Sitting at the sushi bar is more fun than sitting at a table, so I highly recommend sitting with the sushi artists/chefs, if there is room. They are engaging with the customers and definitely have a great sense of humor which adds to the whole dining experience. They're extremely personable as well, and -- lucky me -- they made samples of amazing sushi, using salmon and tuna. Not sure what it was, otherwise I'd tell you to order it -- the samples were oh so yum!
When it came to the main course, I ordered my fave -- Las Vegas Roll -- and tried one of their special rolls -- H3. While I waited for them to be made, I sipped on a sake bomber with O'Rion beer (they don't have Kirin/Kirin Light here, sorry). Once I ran out of the O'Rion, I sipped on the warm sake... it's dangerously smooth, so be careful.
The waitress brought out Miso Soup, on the house (I definitely was feeling like a VIP, thank you so much for the amazing service). I'm not a huge fan of Miso Soup, but after one taste, I pretty much ate all of it. It's super yummy!
When the rolls were handed over from the sushi chefs, I was thoroughly impressed. The presentation was absolutely a work of art! WOW! Not to mention they were mouthwateringly delicious! These rolls were probably the best I've had in a while, especially the Las Vegas roll -- since it's deep-fried, most places use a thicker batter so you get more batter than actual sushi, but not Kodo! There was a perfect amount of batter to deep-fry, however it didn't overpower the sushi roll itself, the cream cheese was smooth and oh so creamy, and the jalapeño in the roll added the perfect crunch with a slight hint of heat. The H3 roll was an explosion of flavors -- I can't even describe the complexity of it; just try it!
The salmon, tuna, and yellow-tail in both rolls, along with all the ingredients were so incredibly fresh and not fishy (yay)! You can literally taste the freshness of each ingredient complimented the flavors of the other ingredients in the rolls. It was refreshing to see a newbie restaurant take so much pride, in not only the quality of fish and food, but in the presentation and service aspect as well.
