    I am vegan and the server had no problem making sure my meal was dairy-free and meat-free. She even told me there was fish broth in the Miso Soup, which I didn’t order due to her honesty. I think the restaurant should include the fish broth on the list of ingredients on the menu. Every ingredient should be listed when it comes to meat, diary or any spice with heat (cayenne, chili, etc.). Good food, good service. I have never had a bad meal here.

    The food at Sushi Ko is a cut above and so is the ambience and the entire experience. We celebrated my husband's birthday at the restaurant: first table we were offered--not so great. I asked for a better table and the host checked and then gave us a lovely booth. We ordered the Tempura which was just outstanding--piping hot, crisp and delectable vegetables. The sushi --my husband ordered the Tuna five ways -- was world class. Interesting, tasty, varied, a bit of spice to punch things up. I ordered the bento box (next time I will be more imaginative.). Not only was the food first class, the whole experience exceeded expectations.
