★★★★★ 5.0 Becca Heitzig · Feb 2026

Great all you can eat pricing, fast service, and delicious sushi!! I especially enjoyed the spider roll, shrimp tempura, and angel rolls! The green tea mochi was a refreshing dessert!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jonathan Armstrong · Feb 2026

Get all you can eat so you can sample different things. We recommend miso soup, crab rangoon, shrimp tempura, tuna sushi, Honolulu rolls, red bean and green tea mochi ice cream. Cracking glass ball to drink white Ramune was the highlight of the night! Dallin and Kacey were terrific servers. Leah and Joe prepare the best Japanese food!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jen Woodrum · Jul 2024

We were pleased with Kochi, surprised it's not higher rated! It's all you can eat for a set price, but don't over-order because they will charge extra for uneaten food. With what we ordered (which we ate all of, yay!) the all-you-can-eat price ended up being almost identical to what "a la carte" would have been, since we ordered some of the less-expensive simple sushi rolls. But it still felt like fair pricing for a lot of food! The sushi was great, especially the specialty rolls (the Godzilla was my favorite).

I went here with my husband twice for the AYCE and both times the sushi was amazing. The presentation was spectacular, very nice and neat looking. There is nothing I ordered that I did not like, the fish felt fresh. However, the service of this restaurant is lacking. Our waitresses seemed like they did not understand the menu and they often forgot about our requests. The restaurant was not busy both times I went. The second time I was there, my husband had to go up to the counter numerous times to place an order because our server took forever. It began to feel like a self-service restaurant. Moreover, I was surprised when my server asked me if I needed a second order sheet because I was not offered that the first time. Overall, the food is great but the service quality definitely needs im

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE! Lackluster service. The kitchen entrees tasted uninspired and soulless. The Philly roll was good, the tempera shrimp roll however was terrible you guys somehow forgot to cut the tail off before rolling the sushi. it also felt as if the staff didn’t want me there once so ever and I’m a paying and tipping customer.
