I ordered pick up on Uber Eats because there was a special and figured I’d try something new. I was definitely pleasantly surprised! I chose pick up and didn’t realize how close it was so that was a plus. When I arrived the restaurant looked clean and it smelled good. I barely waited before I was handed my food. They were out of yum yum sauce which I was a little disappointed about but not enough to not give a perfect review and they gave me teriyaki sauce instead. When I got home and opened my food it was steaming hot! Everything was flavorful and fresh and I ended up having yum yum sauce at home. I couldn’t even take a picture before I had to try it. I ordered the chicken hibachi added steak and received the garlic noodle for free. They also included a coupon to order directly from them and I will most definitely be returning and order straight from their site :)

Greeted with the biggest smile and a welcoming personality from Taurus. I’m pescatarian and love the menu variety as it caters to everyone. Ordered the lobster entree added steak and another lobster entree added shrimp. Thanks Taurus & Kalin for great food and amazing service! 😊 💕🩵💕🩵

First time trying this & everything was very delicious! I got the hibachi steak and noodles on the side! The second pic is everything all mixed together with extra yum yum sauce! Also, the delivery was very quick.

Updatded Review (6/19/26)- Brittany was wonderful and so welcoming. The restaurant was clean (just like our last visit). I ordered the Koto Combo again with a side of noodles. The food was cooked so much better this time around. The steak, chicken, and shrimp were nicely seasoned. The vegetables had a good crunch, and the noodles were not too salty or oily. I appreciate them listening to their customers feedback and my wife and I look forward to coming again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (6/13/26) - Amazing customer service from Diamond, however the food was not. I ordered the Koto Combo (steak, chicken, shrimp, and veggies) with a side of noodles. I asked for medium steak and I got tough jerky, and the shrimp was overcooked. The chicken was well seasoned. The noodles were very greasy & salty. My wife's veggie bowl was ok, just needed a little more salt & pepper. I don't have to come back.

This was my first time at Koto Hibachi on 31st. My sister referred me as I needed good food close by. Glad I went, ordered on line, website was user friendly although an account needs to be created. I got the Salmon Bowl and Hibachi Chicken both reasonably priced. Both delicious 😋 love the veggies, Salmon very tender not dry and loved the packed rice at the bottom of the bowl,, yes the food had some weight to it when picking it up !!! There was a little wait of about 5 to 10 mins but wasn't a problem. The restaurant is small, tables inside, very clean, service waa friendly, location on a main street so there is street parking which can be alittle tight. There is also a kiosk inside for ordering. My sister did good I shall return Koto!
