" While I enjoyed the lively atmosphere during our dinner, I must say the food didn't quite meet my expectations. The grilled chicken was dry and the sushi although colorful, lacked flavor. Service was prompt, so I can't fault them there, but I expected better cuisine given the rave reviews. I may give it another try, but I am hesitant. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a hidden gem! The sushi rolls were incredible, with a variety of flavors that complemented each other perfectly. The atmosphere was perfect for a night out, with plenty of seating options. The service could be improved because we waited quite a while for our drinks. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend giving Koto a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" While our overall experience was enjoyable, I did find the sushi rolls to be a mix of hits and misses. The spicy tuna roll was delightful, but the rainbow roll was a bit lacking in flavor. Service was friendly, although it took longer than expected for our food to arrive. The ambiance was lovely, and I'd like to give it another try soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Koto serves some of the best sushi I've ever tasted. The creative rolls are bursting with flavor, and the freshness is evident in every bite. I love the unique ingredients they use, which make the dining experience exciting! The restaurant itself has a relaxing vibe, which is perfect for unwinding after a busy day. My only complaint would be the slow service during peak hours, but the food makes it worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to Koto for years, and it has consistently been one of my favorite places for sushi! They have never disappointed, and the new specials keep me interested in coming back. The chefs are skilled, and you can tell they take pride in their work. Even the vegetarian options have great taste. It’s a great place to meet up with friends or celebrate a special event. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want an authentic Japanese experience, Koto is a must-visit! From the very first bite of sushi, you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The staff was incredibly welcoming, adding to the overall experience. I ordered their signature rolls and was not disappointed. I can definitely see myself returning to explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was excited to try Koto after hearing so many good reviews, but my experience fell a bit flat. The food was decent, but I was expecting really authentic Japanese cuisine. The hibachi was fun, but the seasoning on the chicken was mild to the point of being bland. I hope next time is better. Service staff were nice, and the atmosphere was pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)
