We came here on a Monday evening. We were promptly seated and ordered a bottle of sake and then placed our sushi order Our love boat for 2 came with salad, and soup which was served promptly after we ordered. My husband, who is typically put off by too much ginger, enjoyed his salad (much to my dismay! I was hoping to double up on their delicious salad dressing). Just as we finished it our sushi boat arrived. As usual all of the sushi was delicious, however, it wasnt as beautiful as in the past. For dessert we tried the peanut butter cake and green tea ice cream. Compared to my previous review a few years ago, this visit wasn't as impressive. There is a lot of local competition with better prices, luclily for Koto they're the only sushi place open on a monday!

Went here for the first time for lunch. Great atmosphere. Wait staff was efficient, professional, and nice. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Enjoyed Gyoza and Crab Rangoon appetizers and Fried Rice dishes. Cocktails were great. Will definitely be returning!

Sat at the bar and had Lous as my bartender. He was great! Very friendly, didn't rush me and gave me suggestions on what to get. Food was excellent and came out in good time. If you get to this place sit at the bar and ask for Lous! Spicy seafood soup, salmon carpaccio and a sushi roll no rice.

This is a great place. I really recommend doing the whole hibachi thing. They are super nice there and the hibachi is awesome. I had the chicken and my wife had the scallops. I have to say, the scallops are well worth it - in both quality and the quantity. Our friends got the filet mignon, which they said "was like butter" and they loved it. Overall, really awesome and would totally go back!

Great food and atmosphere. The sushi was super fresh. We tried all kinds of new things, including black caviar sushi, which was amazing. Great place for large groups. It might be a bit overwhelming for younger kids. It definitely gets loud inside when the chefs are cooking, doing their thing. Absolutely a must try. Be warned, it can get expensive fast.

Came for lunch on a Sunday with my son and we were seated right away. My son loved the water feature with large koi fish and getting to cross over the bridge. They do not offer lunch menu on Sundays fyi. We shared the miso soup, house salad, rock shrimp, Philadelphia roll, spicy tuna roll and California roll. All the food was fresh and delicious. My son’s highlight was the rock shrimp which had a sweet sauce with it and I loved most the spicy tuna roll. I took 1 star because our waitress didn’t check on us until we were done eating and I had to ask for a water refill. Otherwise would recommend and return to try more!

I’ll get this out of the way: Koto is one of my favorite restaurants in the Capital Region. The food is consistent, the servers are attentive to the table and go above and beyond, and the decor is aging, but still beautiful. It’s expensive but worth it. I had: $33 Filet Minton and a $7ish mojito (I can’t find it on their menu currently). The drinks range from $5-$9). The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, the vegetables had a nice snap but were still well cooked. The fried rice and miso were both great. The mojito wasn’t the best I have had. It tasted like it was made with sprite? It was odd, but not bad. I think for the price point they could’ve added some more quality into the mojito (maybe that’s why I can’t find it on their menu). The portions are generous and we had leftovers for a few days. Koto was well staffed and our waitress was in sight for the majority of our meal. She was kind and attentive. She answered my questions and directed me to some items on the menu. She also put our leftovers in the boxes for us. The menu is confusing. Not only was I inundated with options but the options available were named oddly and/or the descriptions aren’t all-inclusive. For example, I expected the usual generous helping of meat with a side of fried rice, a side of vegetables, soup, and salad. What I received was some cut up meat tossed with vegetables, soup, salad and no rice. It was difficult to determine how much steak I received. I found myself searching for more of it. Overall, I recommend Koto. I suggest taking your time to read the menu and understand what you’re ordering. Bring your appetite.

Koto was packed on Saturday evening, but their staff kept things moving. We sat at a hibachi table, but I did not partake. Ordering off their Koto's menu I had a great meal. My Tom Yum Udon Noodle Soup with chicken was filling and very tasty. The Salmon on the Beach was savory and enjoyed by all. Koto's Sauteed Seafood Udon was another delicious offering. The Tom Yum and Seafood Udon had ample to go boxes. All my selections were served at the hibachi table. A very good meal.

Koto’s wasn’t properly prepared for party of 12. I felt rushed out once we received the check. I would suggest getting there early if you are a party of 2 or more and you have to ask for water. They didn’t just bring it to the tables. Different! Otherwise, great food and phenomenal ambiance.

Ordered delivery. The fried rice is oily, and the shrimp is dry, over cooked, and rubbery. The menu said “shrimp and vegetables” there are no vegetables in this food. Koto has gone downhill in quality.

Had a reservation and didn’t get seated until an hour and fifteen minutes after. Only reason we were even sat was because they split our party of fourteen. Food was mediocre at best which it was the past two times I was here but I figured I’d give them another chance. Only hibachi place in the capital district that makes you choose between noodles or rice. After sitting we ordered drinks and they took 45 min to come. Would not recommend this to anyone ever.
