Top Japanese Restaurant in Pismo Beach
SUSHI KOKKU

4 stars for the resturant, employees, and food. 1 star for the terrible owner/manager. Weve been going to this location and the one in Paso for over a year now. Only ever gotten the terriyaki bowl with tofu. Its quick, easy, tastes good, and affordable. Ive probably gone about twice a month, never had an issue.Went today and someone who seemed to be the owner was there. He was very rude. Normally the tofu is grilled. This time they just dumped cold tofu into the hot terriyaki bowl. Took it back in immediately and the guy started arguing with my boyfriend saying they only ever use cold tofu. Then he says it doesnt matter because we can just take it home and microwave it. My boyfriend insisted that weve never been given cold tofu before. The owner asked the cook and the cook confirmed that they normally cook the todu and just forgot. Instead of apologizing, the owner walked away in a huff. Eventually we got new tofu and went on our way.We are going back because I like the food and the staff but if this guy is there again well just leave and come back another time. He clearly has no idea how the resturant even works and doesnt care about customers at all. Weve been getting to go orders during the pandemic to support the resturant but now I feel like well wait a good while before going back. I hope the employees are treated better than the customers by this guy.

Atmosphere is pretty average for a Japanese restaurant, service was OK but not as good as I would have expected for how few customers were there, the Ramen was pretty basic, almost like someone just added a few vegetables to packaged Ramen, my girlfriend barely touched her udon, and Ive gotten better California roll and spicy tuna rolls from a grocery store

We came here on our roadtrip from San Francisco to San Diego, and it was so good we stopped on our way back north as well!Excellent quality salmon and tuna, and tons of sauce and topping options. We came at off hours one of the times and the rice wasnt dry which was impressive as we wouldnt have been surprised if it were. The lady behind the counter helped us both times and was super nice and helpful. We tried musubi (spam and rice wrapped in seaweed wrap like sushi) for the first time here, and it was fantastic! The only reason we didnt get it again today was because we couldnt finish everything last time (large poke bowl and musubi). But itd be a perfect late afternoon snack.Absolutely would go out of our way to return next time were in California! Locals please give it plenty of business to keep it going strong till we come back!

Blows my mind that such a great restaurant is right next to the pier! We came here for my birthday dinner with our baby who unfortunately was being extra fussy. The staff went above and beyond to make us and our baby comfortable. They were so incredibly kind, accommodating, and really seemed like they wanted us to all to have an enjoyable dinner.The menu obviously focuses on seafood and I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that the chef spent some time training in Japan so there was a Japanese flair. Oysters were fantastic, cocktails were great! Pork chops can be so hit or miss but the ones here were a definite hit. Scallops were amazing!! That corn. I dropped a little on the floor and still wanted to eat it.Thanks again to the waitstaff and manager who took care of us!!! I literally cant thank them enough for salvaging our night.

This is a great hotel off the freeway right between Silicon Valley and LA. Easy to get to, near an awesome grocery store and lots of good Japanese restaurants, beautiful trails for a run in the morning and allows dogs. The rooms are a little run down but they are clean and spacious and the staff is SO friendly and helpful.
Motel 6 Pismo Beach, CA - Pacific Ocean

The location was awesome. I requested a ground floor room being that my husband is disabled and just recently had a fall. I was so happy your staff assured me one. Im a foster parent to 2 young boys, and this was their 2nd time to a beach, and their 1st to Pismo Beach. My boys have missed out on a lot of things in life, so My husband and I are trying to give them some happy memorable experiences. I payed nearly $400. for a 2 night stay and expecting a nice room. I understand this is an older building but i didnt expect what we got. The carpet had multiple tears. The floor near the bathroom felt like it was going to fall in. I had to remind myself that we were ground level. The lights in the bathroom didnt work until the attendant figured out that they had to be in a certain position to work. The rooms were very hot and no airconditioner. the ceiling fan in the 2nd room didnt work. the attendant said it was probably a fuse, but It wasnt and he couldnt fix it. They gave us a standing oscillating fan. With only one outlet in the room. The cord would have to be right next to the bed in my sons face. He then gave us an extension cord which stretched out about 2ft. from the bed and up nearly 3ft. My son would have to climb over it, but if he had forgotten about the cord, he could have tripped over it. The attendant the gave us a longer cord that i ran from the wall and under to the foot of the bed. Now had there been windows screens, the cool ocean breeze wouldve worked fine. When opening the bathroom window (with no screen/ground level ) it pulled apart and had to be kept shut. Bedroom curtains were missing several curtain hooks. They looked very sloppy. Curtain hooks probably cost about $1 for 12 hooks. The attendant attempted to fix, but didnt. I was about to help him fix that, but I seen that the curtain fixture was just LAYING ON TOP of the wall brackets, REALLY? another disappointment. The biggest and worse dissapointment was the condition of the mattress in the second room. the mattress sunk straight across the middle. I cant believe you would leave something like that in the room. the attendant informed me that they were going to be getting new mattresses, which does me no good now! we then inspected the mattresses for bed bugs. They seemed ok. The bathroom door locks, missing lightbulb and battery cover on the remote was missing. Those were little things that could have been easily fixed. DISAPPOINTED!
