Koshō Restaurant at The Barlow is a modern Japanese and sushi restaurant in Sebastopol with a progressive focus on food, local ingredients, and sustainability. We utilize local purveyors for fresh produce and meats as well as national and international providers for fresh seafood and sushi grade fish. Koshō derives its moniker from the condiment of the same name, Yuzu Koshō. Known for its spicy, acidic and balanced nature, it appears throughout the menu in various forms; including Meyer lemon, grapefruit, and satsuma orange koshō. Our chef, Jake Rand, has traveled to many of the famous markets in Japan and has a vast knowledge of selecting top ingredients and the freshest fish and has over 20 years of experience preparing them.

    Food was delicious! I definitely recommend the Machi Bon starter. The combination platter was a great deal (I split with my grandma and it probably feeds like 1.5 people so good to mix with some apps). The sashimi were amazing. We went on a Sunday night so it was pretty quiet but service was great.

    Everything we had was yummy, but the pork belly and the black sesame ice cream were the stand outs. The pork belly came with a mint sauce which was the perfect foil for the fatty richness of the pork and the sharp funk of the kimchee. I have never had black sesame ice cream before. What a revelation! We were celebrating my husband's birthday & they were kind enough to bring that to him with a candle & comp it. You should definitely check this place out.

    Ordered California poke. Menu description did not say tossed with a thick mayonaise based sauce. Couldn’t even taste the fish. Could not eat it. Very disappointing. The other dish ribs was covered and drenched in sauce on top. Not cooked with the sauce.

    Food is on point! Service was ok; we went on a Wednesday, at 615, so there’s that… Sebastian was attentive when we didn’t need him to be, and inattentive when we needed attention. Front door was wide open so flies were buzzing around, and empty tables were slow to be reset. I’ve been there twice before, and will definitely go again, just disappointed…

    Food is always pretty good here. The service is often either rushed or distracted. The busser was awkward and poorly trained. He definitely should not be serving food. It’s difficult to understand where the staff can wash their hands throughout their shift. A bit concerning. One server loudly communicated some information about sidework to the other server right over my head and into my ear while I was trying to enjoy my wife’s birthday meal. It’d be nice to see a manager present and ensuring quality service but I’ve never seen one at Sushi Kosho. The busser was eating ice cream behind the bar in view of guests. A server was providing alcoholic beverages to kitchen staff. I feel like the inmates were running the asylum. Our two last sushi rolls were sub-par. I know you guys can do better than this. I would have related my series of observations to the manager rather than put into an OT review, but there didn’t seem to be one available to do so.

    All the fish tasted old and mealy, had the fried chicken with pickled vegetables, also tasted old. Took 1 bite of them and spit them out. Service was fine. Seems like no one runs the place, no clear managers, cooks just texting away on their phones during service. Probably won’t be back

    Sushi/Japanese offerings are always excellent. Weak moment led us to order fried chicken appetizer....don't bother. As my friend said "we should stick in our lane" and order their best Japanese dishes. We enjoyed Sake - Tsukasa Black Junmai, Niigata. Very refreshing...we laughed it looked and felt like we were drinking enlightening water. Enjoy!

    Fine Japanese dining. Seaweed salad, mushroom salad, miso soup, sashimi plate, salmon skin roll, and nigiri selections all excellent - very fresh and well prepared. Lovely recommended bottle of cold sake. Attentive friendly servers there when we needed them, not when we didn’t. We will return.

    I probably won’t come back. We had a reservation, were going to a movie after dinner so we had time in the back of our minds, and were offered our choice of tables. We chose one then were asked by another server to choose another because they had to get it ready for us. Ultimately we were given that one, without a complaint from us, but we were not served until others who came in after us were helped. We waited a long time to order, were given warm tap water to drink, wine was brought even later, and food was good but not worth the aggravation.

    On a hot night, sushi is a great choice for dinner, but not many places are open on a Monday night. We tried Sushi Kosho for the first time and it wasn't very busy so were seated right away. We ordered some beverages (good size menu of beers, sake and wines) and dove into the menu. Not as many specialty rolls as some sushi places, but we liked both the Maguro Shiso and Doubledown rolls as well as some nigiri. Nigiri was a good portion and fresh - rice was minimal (yay!) but not tightly packed so fell apart when picking up the nigiri or dipping it. Especially enjoyed the Sake and Hotate. Hawaiian Poke bowl looked really good - next time.

    I don’t eat onions and garlic so Japanese is my favorite cuisine. There are always many flavorful options to choose from, and garlic and onions are usually easy to avoid. Not so at Sushi Kosho. The prices for their small portions are outrageous and sushi is double the price of anywhere I have ever been. What bothered me the most was I was the only customer in the restaurant and no one made any effort to make something I could enjoy.

    We were super impressed by the service and the ambience. Even the room temperature was perfect. The food on the other hand was disappointing. Not sure if they had run out of salt, but the miso and the seaweed salad lacked flavor- to say it was bland would be an understatement. The cucumber salad was unimaginative- just sort of some cucumber with some Branston pickle The sushi was good, but not anything better than the other local places Maybe we’d try again and see if it was an anomaly

    It’s valentines day. We had a reservation, but the waitress put us on the bar. It’s very small spaces. Then we ordered the food, charged me 3 hand rolls and only give me two. When I asked about it, the waitress charge me three pot of teas. It’s first time, I asked for more tea and restaurant changed me more money without telling me. Then they said I am sorry you don’t understand. They said they always change customer more. No customer had problem. I would suggest look at the bill before pay.

    We were very clearly discriminated against. We were one of the earliest to arrive for a Valentine’s Day dinner and was put on a communal table with bar stools all the way in the back when there was clearly lots of open spaces. We asked for a table for two and was told that that’s all they could do since they were fully booked. We asked to speak to a manager and she did not much she could do and that we can speak to owner next door if we can’t accept that or we could sit out in the cold. Just when we were about to leave, they told us someone canceled so they can seat us on a two person table. We got there at 6:30 and left at 8:30, there were five open tables that no one came to. When another couple came that were mixed( Asian and white- we are black and white) they did the same to them but when an all white American couple came in they were sat at a great spot and not sent back there. I’m proud to say the other mixed couple fought to be moved to a better spot too. This place should not be treating people like this in 2023

    It was New Year’s and we went out for an early dinner. We ordered several things and I chose to keep one menu telling our waitress we may order more later. We were finishing up our bubbly and twice people came to take our plates away. Next they presented the bill. We were shocked. I checked the time. It was 6:45 and then checked the restaurant website. They close at 8. There wasn’t a need for our table as it was nearly deserted. Needless to say, it was a bit off putting. Love this place but that was weird!

    Excellent quality sashimi and SLICED THIN as it should be, but these days so often is not. Seaweed salad needed longer marinating; dressing had fallen to bottom and the seaweed on top was untouched and tasteless (seaweed really has no flavor to itself; it's nutritious but a 'texture' food) and left in big awkward clumps - poor knifework. Oshitashi was grossly overcooked to a mushy olive green; it should be a bright, squeaky, glossy dark green, parcooked only. Wagyu rib was pre-sliced and good, altho sauce tasted like it had too much mirin in it? There was something odd about it - I was also expecting a little chile heat from a 'Korean BBQ sauce' but there wasn't any. Service was good, a bit perfunctory. Location is across the way from Acre Pizza, btw.
