" I’ve come to Koto several times and generally had a good experience, but the last visit wasn’t great. The chef was disengaged, and the food lacked flavor. We were rushed through our meal, which took away from the overall experience. I really hope they improve as I like this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" On the tougher side, I was not thrilled with the quality of the hibachi. It felt rushed, and the flavors weren’t there. They did try to fix our orders, but service was lacking overall. Hopefully, they'll consider improving the experience, as it has potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to really like this place after hearing much from friends, but I was disappointed. The sushi offerings were fresh, but my hibachi meal wasn’t prepared properly. My steak was overcooked. It seems like it should be better, maybe I'll try again later. " (*Curated Review*)

" Koto is a charming place with decent food. I tried the eel roll and the teriyaki chicken, which were both tasty. The environment was nice for dining out, though a bit noisy. The staff was friendly and prompt but they could enhance the experience with better food presentation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a big family gathering at Koto. The service was great, but my dish was cold when served. The hibachi chefs were entertaining, but we didn’t feel the same harmony throughout the meal. The atmosphere was fine, but I hope for improvements on my next visit. " (*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*)
