Had so much fun for my friend’s birthday dinner. Food so good and our server Tommy was nice and friendly. He’s professional and patient when introducing the dishes to us. And he constantly made sure all our needs were taken care of. I really enjoyed the vibe and setting of Koto. I’ll definitely come back again next time.

I had an amazing experience at Koto! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. But what really made the night unforgettable was the incredible service from Tommy. He was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. You can really tell he’s passionate about what he does. If you go to Koto, ask for Tommy — he’s truly a star and made our night extra special. Highly recommend this place, both for the food and the fantastic service!

This place is a go to spot. Amazing staff, fresh fish and wonderful chefs. You need to come here. Sunday specials on sashimi is out of this world. Come here chat with Tom on the front of house and the chef’s at the bar are amazing.

Food was fantastic, service was remarkable and honestly the atmosphere was genuine. All the chicken skewers and oysters were delicious.

Tommy was an unreal host! The food was amazing. Wanted a late night eat. Randomly strolled in. Would drive out of my way to eat here 🤤

Every time I go back to Vancouver, I must eat at this izakaya ? It has a great atmosphere, the boss is friendly, he drinks well, and the ingredients are fresh.

The food is delicious, the place is small, and the waiters are good. However, there are not enough service staff, so I had to wait a long time for a few dishes.

This place use to be a lot better when they have the late night happy hour. It’s still very yummy but the value is not as great as before. I haven’t had anything here that I dont like or wouldn’t order again.

In my 47 years I've eaten at hundreds or even thousands of restaurants. Some would say I'm a "food reviewer" or a "foodie"; I say, I'm merely indulgent. Koto Izakaya has perfectly blended the two sides of the restaurant business to formulate a warm and greeting atmosphere the moment you step into the restaurant. The food is impeccable and perfect to satisfy any craving of sushi or protein.
Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian dishes such as an assorted tomato side.
Dietary restrictions: Watch out if your allergic to fish
Kid-friendliness: Brought my kids here and they had a lot of fun as well. Loved the place and would love to come back.
