And save room.

The menu ends the right way — with homemade pudding. A short menu, cooked well, that changes as ingredients make it to the island.

· The Bistro

A small room,
cooked with care.

Koo’s opened in the summer of 2024, in the Old Beach Road spot that Sapporo left behind years ago. It’s a casual, sit-down room with a handful of tables — the kind of place where the chef cooks every plate himself, and diners notice.

“The Chef is really nice — a kind human who really seems to care about the food he is cooking, and it shows!”

— TripAdvisor review, May 2025
  • Insider tip from a regular: ask for recommendations — the cook will not steer you wrong.
  • Korean sauces and spices on the shelf, to take a taste of it home.
  • Takeout and delivery for nights when the couch wins.
