" Had a lovely night at Koto, but I have to say it wasn't perfect. Very entertaining hibachi performance, but my shrimp was slightly overcooked, and my friend’s steak was undercooked - definitely a mixed bag on food quality. Service could have been more attentive too. It’s a fun place though, so I might give it another shot in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" Koto has become our go-to place for family dinners! The sushi is always fresh, and the chefs put on an amazing show at the hibachi tables. The kids love it and the atmosphere is always lively. We've tried various rolls and have yet to be disappointed. Highly recommend their Dragon Roll! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have loved Koto for years! The fish quality is on point, & I have to say their rolls are some of the best I've had. The hibachi is an experience, though sometimes the chefs vary in skill. I just come for the sushi, and they have never let me down! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Koto, but my last visit was a bit lackluster. The service felt slow, and for some reason, my hibachi steak was overcooked. The ambiance is nice, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed with the food quality this time around. I hope my next visit is better, as I do love the atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Koto was a mixed bag. The fish tasted fresh, but some of the dishes were not what I expected in terms of flavors. The ambiance was pleasant, but the service was a little unwelcoming. I appreciated the cleanliness but was left wanting more from my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Koto has been serving us beautiful sushi for years now. Every visit brings us back for more. The ambiance is very welcoming, and I'm always impressed with how fresh everything tastes. It’s the perfect spot for date nights or family outings. We love their specialty rolls—never a bad choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" A casual visit turned out great! I was skeptical about the hibachi show, but it turned out to be fantastic. The generous portions eclipsed my doubts, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I feel Koto is a great place for family hangouts. " (*Curated Review*)
