Excellent addition to dining in Cocoa Beach. I tried Koko with my husband last night and we really enjoyed our dishes. We tried the sake and Shio Ramen, one with noodles and one with rice. The rice dish was made gluten free, it had a different flavour to the noodle dish, both great, according to my husband. Great service and friendly staff. We can't wait to go back and try out more!!

Josh was our waiter. Greeted us at the door as we passed at the art festival, informative not pushy. We walked a block and circled back and so glad we did. Offered a delicious and well priced brunch paired with green tea. Chef brought out the bento box style and explained each plating beautifully. Perfect portions, nothing was overly done. Well seasoned. Pictures do not do it justice.

It’s finally happening !! The beach and Brevard county now have world class food ! Bluefin tuna to die for , the 10 piece sushi nigiri is out of this world ! Only thing missing is this guy doing omakase , but I heard a rumor the chef is only a few weeks away from doing so. He told me to keep an eye out on the website and instagram so you best believe I want one of those tickets immediately when they go on sale . When I say world class I mean every letter of it . The attention to detail is unmatched . This place is not only world class in the food but the sake menu is to die for ! 12 year aged sake have u ever had any ? Me either till now , life changing experience! Not to mention this place hands down has the best sushi around with the dry aged bluefin tuna , but properly seasoned sushi rice ! Last thing to mention is they are very kid friendly and have outside seating options as well . Do yourself a favor get there early and enjoy the culinary experience of a lifetime !

What an amazing culinary experience! We sat at the chef counter which made it even better as Chef Daniel delighted us with details on our dishes. Watching them work on the sushi dishes with their attention to detail was so fulfilling. We tried and thoroughly enjoyed these appetizers: the Tomato, Crispy Mushroom Nuggets and the Rock Shrimp Toast. The flavors on each dish were distinct and so delicious together! The sushi was extremely fresh and had a melt in your mouth consistancey especially the Bluefin Tuna Tasting plate. Each so distinct and sooo good! For entrees, we had the Chirashi Bowl, Shio Ramen, and two versions of the Nasi Goreng to accommodate a vegetarian in our group. All were very delicious! We really appreciated the flavors and the commentary, and the service was over the top! The menu changes so we look forward to their incredible creations to come! We will definitely be back!

We loved our dinner at Koko! The menu and atmosphere are unique, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was simply amazing! Manager Josh was very helpful in explaining the menu and making unpretentious suggestions. The Nasi Goreng was our favorite entree, but everything was incredible. We loved The Tomato, KoFC, and the Bluefin Tuna Roll. You can tell the chef only uses high quality ingredients and is thoughtful about every aspect of the menu. Be sure to save room for the Yuzu Pie!

I grew up in Japan and Hawaii and have been looking for quality Japanese food in Brevard County. Koko Pub is an absolute GEM. The sushi and sashimi are the best in the area! Chef Daniel is attentive to each detail — where he sources the fish, dry aging the fish, how the rice is cooked, how the sushi vinegar is made, and how it is mixed with the rice. Sushi is nuanced and you can notice the details! I highly recommend Koko Pub if you genuinely want a quality dining experience

Delicious food combined with stellar service! Our party of 3 dined here on a Saturday night. We pretty much tried everything on the menu. Everything was so good, you can tell that the chef pays attention to the little details and has a wonderful palette. Don’t skip the desserts.

What a wonderful culinary experience! We’ve been looking forward to try Koko and it did not disappoint. We were blown away by the cozy and simplistic decor with great taste, the most accommodating/friendly staff and once the food arrived, it exceeded our expectations. We’ve been craving high end Japanese cuisine in Brevard county and we are so thankful that Chef Daniel Penovich decided to come back to Cocoa Beach. Looking forward to sit and enjoy any future Chef Tables.
