Reviews for Koto Japanese Restaurant

Koto has such a lively vibe and a huge menu that keeps me coming back, plus the hibachi tables always make for a fun night with friends or family. The food is consistently delicious-especially the fried rice and hibachi steak & shrimp-and the service is speedy and friendly, making every visit a great experience.

Koto is a popular dining spot for my family because of its diverse menu options and vibrant ambiance. When seated in Agata's section, you can expect prompt and entertaining service, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to your meal. For a lively dining experience, request a hibachi table where you can witness skilled chefs prepare your meal with flair, creating a memorable dining experience that leaves you feeling satisfied and content.

Sometimes this place is packed, and sometimes it's not. When we went there, it was packed and it was so loud, the waiter seated us at the worst table--we had a party of 5 and they expected two of us to sit at the end, so we left for another place. I've eaten hear before, the tempura is disgusting and the teriyaki is very, very bland. I've been at the hibatchi table, too, and it is very overpriced and inconsistent. The person next to me ordered the same hibatchi dish as I did and they got much more than I did. Have you ever seen a Japanese restaurant use butter? I did, and that was the last time I ate there, as I'm lactose intolerant. I just checked their score on the VT dept of health and they only got a 76, which is disgusting. I recommend Sakura, as the food quality is much better, and both of their restaurants got scores of 89 and 90.
