We checked out CO for the first time during their happy hour where lots of items were half off. We ordered sushi rolls and a fish taco along with dessert. The food, service and atmosphere all gelled so well together and gave us a wonderful experience eating here. We were thoroughly impressed and will come back again!

I sure wish they served makerel here. The food took a while to come out but it was fresh so a point. The rolls were well made and the bartender that served us was great, very attentive and was quick to ask how we were doing as we were waiting on our rolls. Yes it is at the mall outside area with windows open so a few bugs may fly in now and then but hey this is the way it is with an indoor/ outdoor place. Yes we will definitely be back .

Great food ! The bang bang shrimp sushi was amazing! The spicy wontons are on point! Kiersten was our server, and she was such a joy. She could definitely make any meal more enjoyable.

Delicious Pho & sandwiches. We had lunch for our 1st visit. The chicken pho was delicious but the amount of chicken was a bit lite but the amount of broth & veggies was generous. They were welcoming when we arrived. We saw lots of items we want to try out on other visits. This is a good addition to the mall dining options.

Earlier visited and tried CO restaurant for the first time with a friend as I had a taste for sushi. The food was good and fresh and the server we had, Chandler, was SUPER attentive, accommodating, and kind - suggesting good items such as my newfound fav the Emperor roll. Even with a mishap with my bill due to no fault of his own but instead a faulty computer system in its calculations, he handled things with care and a smile. Overall enjoyable experience. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area.

Experience was phenomenal! Food looked REALLY high quality for its price point given. Price is a little steep and the food is a little bland, but the sushi was ON POINT! I had the curry laksa, which was kind of lacking in the spice and savory department, but was very generously sized nonetheless. If any staff members read this, take some notes from Hawkers near chapel hill! They have REALLY good broths and noodle soups! Will be back there again, until then, this is a one off sushi location that I may or may not be going to again... Would highly recommend this place for newcomers though!

Been here twice now and both times the food was great! Service excellent as well. It’s also really nice that you can get a drinks and walk around the mall area with them. To-go drinks is a wonderful thing.

Had a pleasant experience eating here last night. Our server Ian was very attentive and kind. The food was pretty good in flavor and portion too. I’ll definitely come back to try some new dishes and drinks again.
