While the menu is interesting and the food delicious, the service was not. Two tables, that arrived after ours, were served drinks before we ever met our server. She was MIA when we needed something and generally inattentive. This was my first time trying Cowa Sake. I really loved the food and plan to give them a second chance, hoping this was just a bad day.

Sat by the hostess during lunch and never talked to again. People served around us but no acknowledgment. Poor experience.

Wonderful restaurant with yummy and beautiful food. Have been twice now and everything we have ordered has been amazing. From. Burgers to sushi to Korean BBQ the menu has many choices and every choice is a good one. Make reservations so you don’t have to wait in a long line for a table.

I have touted cowa-sake as best in Hickory. Well not now. 5:00pm. 4 tables with people and all have food and/or drinks. My wife and I arrive and sit for 10 minutes without even a "be with you in a minute". Just completely ignored. Wife asks where I want to go grab a bite for my birthday and of course I pick cowa-sake. Very disappointed. It's not always about the food. If you are treated like crap then everything else also sucks.

Great restaurant for sushi!! Went for Valentine's Day during lunch and got a table without reservation. I recommend reserving a table for dinner though. Lunch has less sushi options than dinner, bf and I are already planning a dinner date to try the different rolls! Staff were so kind and the atmosphere was very welcoming.

First time customers on 2/23/24... we got seats at the sushi bar and we were not disappointed!! Ordered drinks, duck steamy buns and several different sushi rolls.. everything was delicious! Besides the great food, Chef Tikoh was awesome!! Chef Tikoh gave us great recommendations for sushi and just made the overall experience of Cowa Sake, that much better!! Will definitely be back
A great experience from beginning to end! Chefs Tikoh and John were the best!

Ordered Bento box, which came with a Texan Slider, two sides, and sushi roll. I had the sweet potato fries, Thai Cucumbers and upgraded to the Lobster sushi roll. All were amazing.(fairly spicy, but delicious) $50 bucks/tip

Absolutely amazing time at cowa saké. What an unbelievable experience from the staff to the environment to the food. Chef Tikoh and chef John were a huge help on deciding on what to order and did not disappoint. Very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about any questions we had. 11/10 recommendations and will FOR SURE be back.
Great service. food was superb. Great cocktails. Be prepared to spend some time, they are a little slow with the food. But it's not a fast food place. You have to try the smoked edamame,they are wonderful. This was our first time and we will be back again soon
