| - Very pleasantly surprised with this place that I had never even heard of a week ago. A friend told me about it, so I decided to give it a try despite the modest Yelp rating.
The ordering process was extremely convenient. It was very simple to order online, and you're even given the option of customizing your roll by adding extra ingredients. I didn't take advantage of customizing this time, but I'm sure I will in the future.
I'm always drawn to the specialty rolls, and the first thing I noticed here were the very affordable prices...there were a few specialty rolls for as little as $5.25 and many more for $6.50 or less. I decided to get one relatively expensive roll and one cheaper roll.
My more expensive roll was the Magma Roll for $8.50. It had two pieces of shrimp tempura and crab with baked spicy crab salad on top. This roll was amazing! It came with 8 pieces, and with all the crab salad on top, looked quite formidable. To be honest, I probably could have called it quits after just this roll, but alas, I'm a glutton for sushi.
The cheaper roll I ordered was the Hiro Roll for $6.50. This one had shrimp tempura, masago, spicy mayo, avocado, crab, and cream cheese. Though not quite as good as the Magma Roll, it was still very delicious, and for $2 less was probably better value. It came with only 6 pieces, but the pieces were huge. My girlfriend called out my faux pas of not eating each piece in one bite.
I will definitely be back to check out some of the other specialty rolls (and get crazy with adding new ingredients).
UPDATE: Enjoyed K.O. so much last time, it took me less than a week to return. This time I ordered the Bagel Roll for $8.50. It came with 9 big pieces and had crab, cream cheese, and avocado with salmon and more avocado on top.
Loved this roll just as much as the Magma and Hiro. The pieces of salmon were extremely generous...I can't believe how much fish you get for such a low price!
UPDATE: Tried a new roll today. This time I ordered the Hung Roll with baked salmon, avocado, cream cheese, and jalapeño. There were 10 pieces for an incredibly inexpensive $5.25. It was probably my least favorite of the four rolls, but it was still quite good.
UPDATE: Tried two new rolls today. The first was the Fireworks Roll. It had two pieces of shrimp tempura, crab, cucumber, tobiko, and torched spicy tuna on top with special sauce. It was really good...I loved how crunchy it was. However, at almost $10, it's the most expensive roll on the menu, and to be honest, I think there's better value with the cheaper rolls.
The second roll I ordered was the Stormy Roll. It had crab, shrimp, avocado and a choice of cream cheese or cucumber. It was cheap at only $5.25, but it was the most boring roll I've had from K.O....I don't think I would get it again.
UPDATE: Tried the Tempura Roll today. Nothing really to write home about, but very good value for the low price of $5.50. It came with 8 ample pieces, and the spicy mayo had just the right amount of kick.
UPDATE: Tried the Crunchy Roll and the Shrimp Shumai. The shumai was decent, but I think I'll stick to sushi from now on. The crunchy roll was similar quality to what I've had at Harris Teeter, but for less than half the price. 10 pieces for $5.50 is truly an incredible deal.
UPDATE: Ordered two basic rolls today: Tekka (Tuna) and Salmon. There was a very generous amount of fish in each roll, but it wasn't the freshest tasting fish I've had. The salmon roll was slightly better.
