Koto is lower end sushi but at a very cheap price. I went for lunch and ordered the sushi deluxe. It came out with a miso soup that was nothing special. The sushi deluxe came with 2 pieces of tuna, 2 white fish, 2 salmon and 2 Unogi. The pieces were not high quality but were still decent to eat. The meal ended up being $13 for everything which is a steal! This restaurant definitely fulfills a sushi craving but isn't the tastiest.

If you work around the area, I'd recommend coming here for their lunch specials. The restaurant is not very busy, so the staff are pretty welcoming from the beginning, and are quick to get the food over to the patrons. I find that the lunch specials are filling and delicious, but I'm not usually a fan of the salad that most of the lunch specials come with. It is essentially lettuce with this sauce that is too sweet for my liking. Although the sushi isn't the highest quality in the world, for the price in the area, you can't beat it.

Excellent service. Sushi was fresh. The koi fish pond is cool to look at. People are always friendly here.

Are they still in business? I stopped by for dinner twice and the place was empty both times. The doors were locked and there wasn't any notice. Nobody answered when I called.
