What a great find! First off the service was impeccable- friendly staff, clearly enjoying their work and passionate about the quality of service. We sat at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail and had awesome conversation with our bartender. Then to dinner, where every plate was a hit! Cucumber Sunomono was a great palate cleanser, edamame hummus was a unique surprise- so yummy- and make sure to get all the yakitori options! Our server Joyous was a vibe, as was the music during the entire dinner. Cant wait to visit again next time we’re in Nash!!

We loved our dinner experience at Kosho at the Shabu bar. We tried several of the shareables, shabu, and the special matcha cheesecake! It’s a bit off the beaten path but is a short walk from Broadway and has a paid garage attached to it.

Shareables, shabu, AND special matcha cheesecake?! Sounds like you had a good evening to say the least. Thanks for coming, Katy; we hope to see you again soon.

The food was outstanding and we really enjoyed our time there.
Drinks and service were a bit slow but likely because they are new. Management did come over to check in multiple times after we made them aware of initial slow service issues.
We’ll be back!

Hey Grace, thanks for coming by to try us out. We really appreciate your grace (no pun intended) as we settle into our first month of service. Glad to hear the food impressed and that your crew had a great time together within our walls. Please come see us again so we can better express our care for you through faster ticket times. Until then!

We had a lovely Saturday night meal at Kosho! Our meal was wonderful and drinks were outstanding (get the #2 cocktail!) The chicken karage and eel crispy rice were the standout for me. Dessert was also fantastic. The chef was very gracious and came to our table to chat! I can't wait to go back!
My only piece of feedback was that the overhead lighting was a bit bright and artificial, I would dim the overhead lights and add small stem lamps to every table. Also, the music was a bit sleepy at times- I think the mood would really be next level with some better tunes.
Thanks all! We'll be back.

Sofia, we're grateful to hear what you loved about your experience at kosho, as well as the areas we can improve. Thanks for spending your Saturday evening with us! There's more good food, drinks, and company waiting for you; you'll have to tell us if the lighting and music hit better next time you come in.
