" Koto Izakaya deserves all the praise! The ambiance is so warm, and I felt instantly relaxed as soon as I sat down. The food was incredible, especially the handmade sushi rolls that are crafted with high-quality fish. The portions were decent, although I wish for a bit more on the side. Their drinks paired well with the food, enhancing the experience even further. I can't wait for my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Koto Izakaya is such a trendy place for Japanese food in Richmond! Their drink menu is extensive, which I found delightful, as I'm a huge fan of Japanese beers. The sushi was fine, but I wasn't overly impressed by the rolls. If you are looking for a quick bite and a lovely atmosphere, it’s perfect. That said, keep an eye on the price since it can add up quickly with drinks. " (*Curated Review*)

" Koto Izakaya blew me away with their fantastic food! The flavors were authentic, and each dish was executed with precision. Their sake selection was also remarkable. The only drawback was the slightly high price for smaller portion sizes. But the experience was still very worthwhile. Can't wait to recommend it to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a fan of Koto Izakaya for a long time. Their authentic Japanese tastes never disappoint. The sashimi selection is top-notch, and I especially love their seasonal offerings. The atmosphere is vibrant yet cozy, making it a great spot for gatherings with friends. The pricing is reasonable for the quality, but do be prepared for smaller portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, I had dinner at Koto Izakaya and was quite impressed. The dashi used in their chawanmushi was rich yet subtle, which set a great tone for the meal. The sushi was just as delicious, each roll had a nice combination of flavors. My only issue was the waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed, and it took longer than expected to get our orders. All in all, a delightful evening that warrants return visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having dined here multiple times, I can confidently say Koto Izakaya is a gem in Richmond. The menu offers a perfect blend of traditional and modern Japanese dishes, each prepared with care. The tempura and agedashi tofu were highlights, along with their signature rolls. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, making it suitable for both casual and special occasions. The service is always friendly; they remember us every time we visit. Although the prices are on the higher side for some dishes, the quality justifies it. Highly recommend this place to sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Koto Izakaya was an inviting experience! The vibe was cozy, and the food was overall great. However, my tempura was slightly on the oily side, which was a letdown. On the brighter side, their sashimi was fresh and worth recommending! Although I had a few hiccups with the service—slow at times—the staff was friendly enough. I might consider coming back to give them another try. " (*Curated Review*)
