Lined up at 3:15 to get the first 20 spots for AYCE for $25!
Not the *best* sushi I’ve ever had, but they had a couple of cool items on the menu – the Thai mango salmon was quite good, as was the chicken karaage and their sashimi tasting set. The all-you-can-drink menu is fine, definitely more on the sugary side. Interior decoration is super cute! Waiters were understandably busy but made time for every table.
Overall, would recommend it at this price.

Love the all you can eat. It’s $25 for the first round of people only as the Happy Hour only lasts if you are seated before 5 I think. Then it’s $33 all you can eat + drink.
The wait was not fun and probably not worth the saving $8. You can put your name down for the 7:30 round if you get there when they open.
The food was good for $25 with the Salmon being my favorite. The sake was also good.
They also have a $20 (I think it’s around this cost) charge for any leftover food on the table.

It’s 5 star for the price point. Otherwise, Sashimi quality wasn’t that high quality. Food presentation wasn’t consistent as some dishes came in nice plates, other dishes came in paper containers. Wasabi didn’t have much flavor and didn’t feel authentic as we could eat wasabi raw and didn’t feel a thing.
Overall, it was good deal for the price point. Some of the rolls were pretty decent. And having drink included was a huge plus.

Type of food: All you can eat food and drink (sushi, some basic izakaya/cooked items, basic drinks including beer/tea/soda/sake)
Date of visit: Mon, Sept 16, 2024 (Not a holiday)
Price: $25 (seated by 4:30pm) ; $33 afterward (inclusive)
Here’s the scoop. It’s a very popular instagram/tiktok spot so be prepared to line up early. We got there around 3:45pm on a non-holiday monday. There were around 35-40 people ahead of us standing in line. The restaurant is VERY small (as you can see from the photos) and it can fit maybeeee 20 people for each seating?
We were a party of 5. We waited until around 430pm when the server started going through the line. We were told to come back at 6pm for the 2nd seating (and we were the last group before they started going for the 3rd seating!). I imagine the 3rd seating would start at 730pm.
At around 545-6pm we came back and stood in line. Thus it seems like depending on whatever “seating block” you get, you just come back for that block of time and could potentially be seated first before people that were ahead of you in the 430pm line if you line up early for your assigned “seating block”.
Food/drink:
-Good quality for price. More rice than some sushi places but not excessively so. Fish quality was relatively fresh – not the best/not the worst.
-NO LIMITS! (unlike some other places that were trying to set an expectation in the bay like Ultra, cough cough)
-Cooked food quality was pretty tasty! (like the fried stuff and the skewers)
-Included beer/sake/soda/tea/some random asian drinks, what more can you ask for $33!
Service:
-Few staff, but they know what they’re doing and were efficient. Since they have to be efficient they can seem a bit short but they are indeed friendly
-Food came out at a decent pace, they don’t hold back
Atmosphere:
-small, cramped, but nice vibe and nice decor
-because it’s all you can drink, some tables got a bit…lively
Other notes:
-Street parking, it’s SF
-Their menu will likely already have some crossed out stuff even at the very beginning
-They have a sister restaurant with higher prices (apparently Ko sushi is a proof-of-concept) called Shoryuken (much less crowded I would guess though)
-They have a premium add-on menu which we didn’t try, but the prices look pretty decent

My son introduced me to Ko Sushi Restaurant.
We missed getting in on the first seating at 4:30pm, so added our name to the 6pm seating.
Service was fast and friendly, and each of the sushi items ordered were delicious, including the matcha cheesecake.

what an amazing cute little spot!! they just stopped offering happy hour i believe, so we did all you can eat and each thing we ordered was surprisingly good. the portion sizes were larger than we thought, so we were so full by the end of it. our favorites were the pork belly skewers, fried oysters, and seaweed poke. the sushi and nigiri was pretty fresh, and the fried dishes came out hot and flavorful. they didn’t skimp on the quality even though it is high quantities of food. i think the only thing i didn’t like was the eel, it was too bony. they also had all you can drink for $8 which would be fun on a weekend with a large group. the servers were nice and attentive and the atmosphere inside is good for a chill spot.

A very solid Japanese izakaya. Tasty delivery options are available from this gem in the mission district. The chicken karage is top notch, it’s crispy and moist. The fish is fresh and of good quality. The beef curry is delicious and generous. They usually have some very good deals through delivery apps. I have reordered from this place multiple times and haven’t regretted it once, well except the one time they forgot the rice with the curry. ♂️

Ko in the Mission is a bit of a hidden spot. Tucked away in the bustling district, it’s easy to miss with construction around and a small sign. But what it lacks in curb appeal, it makes up for in its wallet-friendly happy hour.
Their happy hour is a three-tiered wonderland, with options for $1, $2, and $3. Think $1 beers and oysters, $2 skewers and sake, and $3 sushi nigiri. It runs from 5-7 pm and 9-10 pm most days, with extended hours on Fridays (9-11 pm). Be aware, happy hour is for dine-in only.
Get there early! This tiny spot, with only seating for seven groups, fills up fast. We arrived 10 minutes before opening and were second in line. By 5 pm, there was a decent wait. Service is efficient, if not overly friendly. Our server took our orders quickly and efficiently.
The happy hour menu is a mixed bag. The chicken karaage was a bit of a letdown – the crispy coating was more limp than light. The oysters were decent, and the $1 price tag can’t be beat. The American wagyu skewers were a disappointment – a bit chewy and tough. The nigiri was okay, but nothing special.
For the price, Ko’s happy hour is a steal. If you’re looking for a cheap and cheerful spot for some bites and drinks with friends, it’s worth checking out. However, based on the happy hour experience, I’m not sure I’d rush back for the full menu.

This cozy little Japanese izakaya is a delightful find! They offer an extensive menu, and the food is fantastic. We ordered a variety of skewers, all of which were delicious. I particularly loved the bacon mochi and Jalapeno sausage!!!. Their dragon roll and fried tofu are also superb. Highly recommend for an authentic taste and a warm atmosphere!

You know when you find an unexpected opportunity and it really just shines? That was my experience at Ko. I stood in line outside for their all you can eat menu for about 40 minutes. Those minutes melted away once I ate the food.
Visiting from a square state, I crave quality sushi. This did not disappoint!
I was a party of one, so had to share a table with another couple. Who cares!? We are waiting and there is a line! The company was pleasant but that did not deter from the amazing food.
If you’re standing outside wondering, when am I getting inside? Just wait. You won’t regret.
Highlights include:
– Hamachi truffle carpaccio
– sashimi sampler (10 piece)
– Chasu pork belly (I ordered a 2nd because it was so good)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
