" I recently visited Koto for dinner, and although the atmosphere was great, I could not help but notice that the food did not meet my expectations. The rice in the sushi rolls seemed overly dry and fell apart too easily. However, the service was very accommodating, and they quickly replaced anything we mentioned was problematic. I appreciate the effort the staff put in to address my concerns. Next time, I hope the food is executed better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried Koto a few times, and while I generally enjoy their offerings, I've noticed a drop in quality during my last visit. Some of the dishes, like the tempura, were over-fried, and the batter was way too thick. The sushi was decent, but it didn't feel as fresh as in previous visits. The service was friendly, but the inconsistency is causing me to hesitate in recommending it as highly as before. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Koto based on the positive reviews. The staff was welcoming and the atmosphere lively. However, I found the portions disappointing for the price. The sushi was fresh, but the flavors didn't blow me away. The variety was decent, so I might consider returning to try other dishes, but it wasn't as extraordinary as I had expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" Koto stands out as an excellent spot for sushi lovers! I brought my friends here for dinner, and we were all impressed with the freshness of the fish used in their rolls. The sashimi served was also exceptional. The ambiance was lively, absolutely perfect for a fun night out. Service was attentive! I would definitely come back for the happy hour oyster specials as I felt they were good value for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Koto was an overall good experience, though there were a few hiccups. Our server was attentive, but there were some delays in getting our food out. The sushi rolls were well-prepared and tasted fresh, but the portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected, especially considering the price point. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I would suggest going during happy hour for a better value. I'm willing to give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant was a delightful find! My friends and I went for their oyster happy hour, and at just $1 a piece, we couldn't resist ordering a bunch! The oysters were fresh and paired nicely with the various sauces they provided. The atmosphere was lively, making our lunchtime visit feel special. We also tried some rolls that were tasty, though not as memorable as the oysters. Our server was attentive, making sure our drinks were topped up. I will definitely be back to explore more of their menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Koto and finally stopped in, and I must say it lived up to the hype! The selection of sushi was vast and everything tasted incredibly fresh. The rolls were unique and creatively paired. The staff was pleasant and accommodating, ensuring we had a great time. I’d recommend their happy hour for both value and taste; it's really a wonderful experience! " (*Curated Review*)
