4.5 stars (for the area) It's a shame that there are such terrible reviews for this spot. I don't know why people are expecting top notch sushi in Waldorf. You have to manage your expectations to the area it is located in. Their prices aren't as high as DC or northern VA sushi spots that specialize in sushi. Think of this as a place for no frills good sushi but not a fancy sushi specific restaurant. If you go with this reasonable expectation, you will not be disappointed. Also, there are so many other options other than sushi. They changed management in the last few months, so keep that in mind. They updated the interior, and it is much nicer. It's also a quaint spot that people mainly order takeout for from what I've seen in the many times we have been. The new service staff are friendly, but the miscommunication issue that some other reviews mentioned may be due to the language barrier. It seems that English is not the first language of the service staff, so that is probably the cause. If you want home-cooked Korean food vibes, this is the place. When I miss my mom's home cooking I go here! I believe this is a small, local owned business, so let's try to be kind and respectful in our reviews. We are all trying to make a living out here in this ridiculous economy.

Theo place is straight fire ! The food , service is excellent !! Only down side , is that it is extremely small inside.

I ordered the spicy chicken a couple of days ago, and it gave me food poisoning. Not going again.
It was worth the hour drive for some decent sushi. Food options are great, taste was delicious, restaurant was nice and clean, and the staff were amazing. But there was a minor downside with our server. His attitude was great but he wasn't knowledgeable about the menu items and we had a little misunderstanding with our order. A little more training should help with that. Will definitely go back again.

Excellent food, sushi was fresh and absolutely stellar specialty rolls. Daily lunch specials with large portions. Waitstaff are very kind and attentive, making sure my water was filled and the table was clear of rubbish and plates

My rating is based solely on a lie that was made to me by the sushi chef. People please stay away from any sushi restaurants that uses the term white tuna or white fish. I only notice these terms in predominantly black or low income areas. There's no such thing as white tuna. Please do your research so that you are aware of what you are consuming. I get tired of going to DC or Virginia when I want sushi. I decided to stop here on my way home the other day to give it a try. When I saw the term on the menu, I specifically asked the chef if the white tuna is Hamachi. He replied that is correct. However, when I got home, it was not Hamachi. This had a tan, slightly brownish hue and is actually called Escolar. While is can be legally sold on the menu as Sushi, it can have unpleasant side effects. What is illegal is lying about what I'm being served if I ask directly. Shame on you.

We love sushi and unfortunately, I will never go back. I had high hopes of having a quality food option without having to travel to another county. The establishment was clean, a few tables and chairs (basic eat-in carry out setting). The service was basic, no complaints there. We ordered at the establishment for carry out. The food was bland, and didn't taste good (multiple rolls, gyoza, soup, and a few more things); our rolls fell apart. Everything felt like it was just thrown together. We ended up throwing it away.

I love Kodori! A hole in the wall restaurant that feels like you stepped into an authentic place. Found this place randomly and will forever go back.
