Koto Izakaya offers an excellent ambiance, food, and vibe, with outstanding service. The sashimi is particularly stellar, and the late-night sushi experience is described as the best. The restaurant has a good variety of izakaya dishes, including flavorful mentaiko rice, juicy ton toro and shiso chicken, and delectable beef tongue and chicken gizzard. The imperial roll with fresh, velvety salmon is also a highlight.
The service is attentive, with staff frequently refilling tea and ensuring prompt food delivery, even when the restaurant is busy. Customers praise the friendly and professional service. The chefs at the bar are also highly regarded.
While the parking lot can fill up quickly, Koto Izakaya provides an overall excellent dining experience, with delicious food, a vibrant atmosphere, and exceptional service. However, some recent reviews mention a decline in the quality of the food, particularly the skewers, and issues with the restaurant's management.
