Koto

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!

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!

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.

Amazing place. Excellent food and good service. I will definitely go back

Koto is always a good time and the food is fantastic! A+

If you are in thr Albany area it's a great group setting for larger parties too!

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.

We went for dinner at a regular table. The real draw here is the Hibachi cook tables. It's a really fun dining experience. Both entertainment and a meal!
But with limited time we had a table service with General Tsoa (sp) chicken and Hibachi Chicken. Both excellent.

We came here on a Saturday evening and had a phenomenal time. We were promptly seated and ordered a bottle of sake and then placed our appetizer and sushi orders. Our love boat for 2 came with salad, 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). Next came the vegetable tempura we ordered as an appetizer. It was crispy and warm and served immediately after pur salads. Just as we finished it our sushi boat arrived. Not only was it stunning to behold, but as usual all of the sushi was delicious. Due to COVID times we hadn't been able to go out much, and I'm overjoyed at the experience we had today. For dessert we tried the peanut butter cake and mochi ice cream. The serving size of the mochi ice cream was very small, but since everything else went so smoothly during our visit I am willing to overlook it. I cant wait to visit again.

Didn’t try the hibachi but great service and really good food. Would definitely go again to try other things in the menu.

Thank you for making this restaurant fun to go to! I had so many happy birthdays from workers, I received a birthday hat, and had a funny chef that made food in front of me and my family.

I love that place, I'm always in there for every occasion. Was there last night celebrating my anniversary. It was very lovely

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Koto! We went for our son's 9th birthday dinner because it was across the street from the hotel we were staying in and I could not be happier we chose this restaurant. From beginning to end they made it a special experience for my son, the meal was definitely all about him and he had the best time! The chef took a lot of extra time and care to make everything birthday themed from the fried rice birthday cake with a lemon candle for him to blow out to the extra special crown he blew up for the birthday boy. The waitress was wonderful and very attentive to our needs and the hostess took a wonderful picture for us in a nice Koto frame to take home which was a cool surprise and I know he will cherish for a long time. 10 out of 10 would recommend, the food was great! My son devoured the entire order of tempura chicken and said they were the best "chicken tenders" he has ever had! Lol

I've been to many an Hibachi steak houses and I have to say this is one of the best kept secrets . The prices are reasonable as far as Hibachi restaurants are concerned, the food choices are well numbered , but the portions are extremely generous. I've never been so full after an Hibachi meal. The chef was excellent and entertaining. He was able to engage the whole table and keep us focused. If i had one minor complaint it would be the fried rice needed more ingredients in them. The rice tasted hibachi style nut maybe needed another egg or two. Otherwise it was a great experience.
The atmosphere was very Japanese like. They even had a bridge built over a koi pond which was very cool. All in all Koto was a fantastic experience. Come hungry! You'll leave full and wanting to go back in the near future.

Came for a meeting around the hibachi table. A little loud for meeting, but they have a room as well. Hibachi filet was great and service was above and beyond.

My husband and I love hibachi and love trying different hibachi restaurants. I forgot to take a picture of our appetizer which was beef negimaki and it was delicious. The sauce was perfect.

Took my grandchildren there, and they LOVED it! Staff was exceptionally attentive and kind. Can't wait to go back.

Food was fatastic, the company made it better. We were laughing and having fun and the waitresses joined in and made it a great experience. We had the dragon, ninja, prince, and volcano rolls and veggie tempera.

This place was the bomb there wasn't nothing that we didn't absolutely find delicious this wish it was by our home but it was so good we would literally drive 2 hours just to eat here again again thank you for the awesome experience

As usual I had an absolutely amazing experience! The service and food was too notch, and I will definitely be returning soon. The bartender Lou was great!

Great food, good hibachi portions and excellent waitstaff. Probably the best wait service I’ve had in years.
