Koji is a delightful establishment in Omaha. You might raise your eyebrows in finding fresh fish and Japanese tapas without an ocean nearby but Koji makes the magic happen. Koji is absolutely legit and you should try it out whether you’re a fan or not of yakitoris or sushi.
Koji is not your traditional Japanese izakaya. They are quite progressive in their creations, especially where they have the freedom to experiment (ie. appetizer section and rolls). Some are great. But also some concotions may confuse your palate. I love the fact that they are experimenting but the fact that it has made it to the menu means someone has made the decision to ship it. I actually think Koji might massively benefit from swinging the pendulum a bit more towards mainstream or traditional recipes.
Now the area where they do stay more traditional is their yakitoris or grilled meat skewers. And they are definitely some of the highlights. Now some may come with progressive sauces but thank god they put it on the side so you can skip it. The yakitoris at Koji really are legit and tasty. I highly recommend just going to Kojis for beer and yakitori itself is worth multiple times over.
Finally, let’s talk about the sushi. The technique of the sushi itself isn’t the best of the best. Don’t get me wrong – the sushis are quite good. But compared to some of the nation’s best in California or NYC, it’s definitely a step or two below. The fish used is quite fresh but again, not as fresh as you would experience at the coast. Again, I can’t ding them for this given the location. But also I want to be fair and objective.
Koji’s is absolutely a must-visit location in Omaha. Whether you like sushis or yakitoris, it is worth the visit and every cent of your money. My only hope is that they tune down the progressiveness a bit over time. The effort is there. The attention to detail is there. It just needs a bit of tweaking.

We picked this place on a whim. Got right seated. Out server went over the menu with us and was very attentive. The food was amazing, fresh, and fairly priced. Wonderful service. Will definitely be back.

Had such a good experience tonight! It was my first time and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try it. If you need a sign this is it, it was phenomenal. Sushi chefs were amazing and service overall!

Yesssss to Koji! Went for the food because I love Yoshitomo’s and I’m so happy I did. Our server was literally the best ever and she made our visit absolutely perfect! Food was perfect, service too!

Absolutely beautiful sushi restaurant. Smaller, but delicious menu with unique flavor combinations. A few gluten free options, but no substitutions on the menu made it a bit challenging to expand the GF optionality. The KFC buns were a favorite as were the wings! Sushi was delicious! The service was stellar, very attentive!

Coming from a perspective of a vegetarian, not many impressive vegetarian options to choose from – so this place would not likely be my first go to. My fellow table mates did seem to enjoy the food they got – for the very small portions they were. I did enjoy the vibe of this place. Very aesthetic! Perhaps a good place to try when you want an experience~ (but not necessarily plentiful food ).

We were in Omaha today visiting the zoo and had a hankering for sushi. We found this cozy spot and were deeply impressed. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and prompt with her service. The menu was great and the food was even better! If you have an appetite for sushi, I highly recommend giving these folks your business.

We went for our anniversary. The owner was wonderful. He made a special sushi roll for us . I brought food for our 6 month old( she is a very good happy baby no issues taking her to a proper restaurant), they provided a couple fresh items that was suitable for her to eat. I don’t care for green tea, and since I nurse I wasn’t drinking alcohol, the owner made a pea flower special blend tea not on the menu. He also gave us card signed by all the staff for our anniversary. It was a wonderful evening.

Tried out this sister restaurant of Yoshitomo at the recommendation of a work colleague and I am certainly glad I did. Japanese themed with a new and intriguing twist on sushi and a Japanese food. Everything was absolutely delicious. We tried at least one item from every section of their menu and nothing disappointed. The service was also top notch, as our waiter and the wait staff in general were very attentive. Overall, if you’re looking for a new take on sushi, this is definitely worth a stop in.

Today, Mr. Morgan (my boss) invites me to have a lunch with him.
This is small restaurant but clean and neat inside and also very good place to go. They have delicious foods and all of them very good tastes. I love each dish with different taste and delicious too. We had a wonderful time and discussed many things about his businesses in Omaha and Lincoln too.
Their services are really good and wonderful experiences with all the staffs here too!
I recommend this to any one whom interested in Japanese food.
