Kookoo Cafe - Emeryville

Some of the best, non-pretentious, no Frills sushi in the Bay Area. I love that they marinate the sushi rice and add a little wasabi between fish and rice. Also the fat tuna nigiri is heavenly.

Amazing sushi! So fresh and unique. I had their nigiri special and the 16 piece chef choice sashimi, everything was great. The price was also affordable for the excellent quality, and the packaging was beautiful. I would definitely recommend.

An inconceivable but thoughtful place to dinate. What is a conscious decision to focus on large food and fantastic service. A small place that only a few dozen people (maximum). They do a great task to focus on the foods that only added to the experience. Our Sashimi was so fresh and buttery. Every bite was better than the last. The staff was patient, understanding and friendly. A great culinary experience. I can't wait to come back.

That's the real deal. Enjoying this is an appreciation of the craft. The selection of fish is amazing, including a few selections that I had never heard, but unlike other places that they did not leave alone on the fish for taste. Every piece (and the rice! And soy sauces! have nuance and depth and great combinations of taste. In particular they do not skip on the vegetarian maki it was just as good as any fish option.

I was lucky to eat out here on Saturday. The seats are limited to the sushi bar in the interior and one or two tables outside. We arrived at the opening and ordered the Sushi Nigiri Set. You can choose the chefs or choose them yourself. We let the chefs decide for the first time and then everyone ordered another set with some of our favorites and those we had not tried. The toro and trout really stood. The belt fish had a nice smokey taste of torn. All pieces were seasoned individually so that no need for soy sauce. This place deals with takeover orders, but I think this is an indication of how good the food is. It's worth waiting.
