YUM! The menu has so many delicious choices you’ll probably want to come here more than once. The place also has a cool, chill vibe with good music that is not too loud (and not oldies). We loved the dumplings and the spicy wagyu noodles. The noodles do have a kick to them. The Fujiyama Mama cocktail was fantastic! Tart but not too sweet. Good wine list too. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the bartenders make a lot of cool cocktails. Nice spot for a date or GNO. We’ll be back!

A truly delicious spot with a beautiful, modern design! The ambiance is sleek and inviting, making it perfect for a casual meal or a night out. The chicken fried bao buns are absolutely the star — crispy, flavorful, and unforgettable. The edamame is also perfectly seasoned and a great starter. Every detail, from the food to the décor, feels thoughtfully done. Highly recommend!

I celebrated my birthday at Kojo with a group of five, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. We absolutely loved the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere. The restaurant’s decor is beautiful and modern, and one of the highlights was the open kitchen view, where you can watch the chefs preparing the dishes while you dine.
Our server was extremely polite and attentive and did a wonderful job helping us with the wine selection, which made the evening feel even more special. Everything was well explained, and the service was warm and professional throughout the night.
Overall, the combination of excellent food, outstanding service, and a unique dining atmosphere makes Kojo a perfect place for celebrations or a special night out in Sarasota. We truly enjoyed our dinner and would definitely return.

I already LOVE Sarasota but this is the place I DREAM of when I am not there. From the food to the service, Kojo has been able to set a welcoming, chic and vibey atmosphere for all ages. We went to celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday during the time of New Years. We had the kimchi fried rice, fried chicken bao buns, wasabi Ceasar and a few sushi rolls. The bao buns were soft, slightly spicy and full of flavor. The chicken was moist but crunchy at the same time. When the rice came out, it smelled like a vacation in a cast iron skillet. The egg yolk was runny and it balanced out the spiciness of the dish.Outside of the food, our waitress (I wish I could remember her name) was the most kind and attentive. Our glasses of water were NEVER empty. And when we had dessert to celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday she noticed none of us were drinking alcohol that night and instead of champagne to celebrate, she gave us Ginger Ale! I thought that was so thoughtful! Every time I visit Sarasota, Kojo will ALWAYS be on my list!

This is a Top 5 restaurant all time for me.
The food, the drinks, the service were excellent. Me, my wife and my son went here on a lark. Every single dish from starters to dessert was unique and delicious. The pork nap buns, the wontons, the crispy rice bites, and the caviar nigiri were full of flavor. We followed that with the Shanghai noodles, NY Strip steak. And finished with the matcha donuts and chocolate bar. The services were attentive and super nice. And the food was fired quickly but was unrushed. Loved the music, vibe and ambiance of the restaurant as well. Highly recommend!

Kojo is always a win.
We absolutely love the pork belly bao buns—soft and delicate, filled with rich, perfectly cooked pork and bright, balanced toppings. The yellowtail with jalapeño is fresh, clean, and perfectly balanced with just the right touch of heat.
Thoughtful execution, beautiful presentation, and consistently great flavors.
The drink menu is just as impressive—intricate, creative, and thoughtfully crafted, with flavors that pair beautifully with the food.
One of our favorite spots in Sarasota.

Stopped at Kojo for an elevated night out to celebrate my new engagement with my fiancé and we were treated with class from the start! When we got to our table there was a hand-drawn card congratulating us on our engagement! This is a tapas-style resturant so we ordered the gyoza, Kojo roll, black miso cod, and rock shrimp bao buns. everything was exceptional! Since we were celebrating our engagement, they even threw in a complimentary dessert — which was also AMAZING! If you are looking for a nice night out in downtown , Kojo should be at the top of the list!

KOJO is in a league of its own.

We celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday here, and the experience was unforgettable—largely because of the incredible staff, especially Alexandria and Vizio. Their service was exemplary: thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely warm. They didn’t just make drinks—they created an experience.

I cannot say enough about the cocktails. The creativity, balance, and level of detail rival (and honestly surpass) what I’ve had in New York City, London, Paris, and Singapore and I’ve been fortunate to spend a lot of time in all of them. Every guest at our table was blown away.

The food, ambiance, and energy are exceptional, but what truly sets KOJO apart is the people. Staff like Vizio and Alexandra elevate this place from “great restaurant” to destination.

Sarasota is the new Miami. The new New York. And KOJO is leading the way… the food is

A must-visit, must-try, must-experience spot if you want amazing food, world-class cocktails, and a night that actually feels special.

— Thank you for making such an important celebration unforgettable thank you Alexandria for the memories!

Absolutely obsessed with this spot for date night. The wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth incredible, and the nigiri and sushi rolls were perfectly crafted. The cocktails were just as impressive as the food—creative and balanced. The atmosphere is chic yet relaxed, perfect for a special night out. Diego was fantastic—attentive, personable, and spot-on with his recommendations. A must-visit if you’re in Sarasota and love elevated Asian fusion with great vibes.

Checked out KOJO in Sarasota and loved it. The vibe is sleek and modern, and the food matches the energy. I had one of their sushi rolls with spicy tuna and torched salmon — super fresh and flavorful — and tried one of their crispy nori tacos, which was such a fun twist. Fresh, creative, and definitely worth going back for.
