Reviews for Koto Japanese Steak House and Sushi Bar in Groton, CT

Place smelled like a urinal as soon as we stepped in, which should have been our first clue. Appetizer was disgusting. Soda was... flat. A big fight with a family was happen 2 tables over and it was quite the scene. And the grand finale was the rancid sourchicken in my husbands soup. We paid our bill and left immediately. Absolutely awful experience, I will never go back. Read more

We have been coming here for years. The past couple of times we have come were not a pleasant experience. We order the same... sushi every time. The spicy crab roll and the peanut avocado roll. Today we got this and the seaweed on the roll was very chewy,to the point where it was Inedible. We complained about it because we can tell it looked and tasted off. Their answer was that?it?s the same seaweed that they have been using and no one else has complained about it? when clearly you could tell that theseaweed was off. They never didn?t even try to fix it, not even asking if we wanted a new one and didn?t even discount or takeanything off for it. Read more

First of all, this is a review of the sushi bar only, we did not order hibachi. The sushi was ok, not bad but also not great.... Probably average or slightly below average if compared to other options in the area. The rice was not well seasoned and it wasovercooked, so the texture was mushy and I could not feel the grains of rice, but kind of a tasteless rice dough. Fish was freshbut I think the ratio of rice to fish was not good, too much rice, and when the rice is cooked properly I usually like it, butthis time the rice was just not good. Decent sushi but kind of bland. There are better options around for that. Maybe thehibachi experience is better. Read more

This place has gone downhill. Maybe you can have a different experience. Poor service, staff lacked professionalism. The... overall cleanliness of the restaurant left me unimpressed. The Hibachi Chef was good, he was entertaining. But our appetizersarrived after our entree and were dumped on an already crowded table. This place was not busy to be this terrible. Read more

Everything was delicious. I got a shrimp tempura roll to go along with my hibachi chicken and shrimp with noodles. My boyfriend... got hibachi steak with shrimp as well as scallops. The price for it was a little steep so this will definitely be a once in awhile food stop. Unfortunately the scallops also didn't sit well in my bfs stomach and I'm not sure if it was how it wasprepared, or because they are scallops haha he also ordered some peach sake which was delicious.

Really enjoyed the hibachi show and the food was fantastic. Was a little disappointed that another family sat at our table after... we already had our appetizers which slowed our meal down considerably but that happens at hibachi, I understand that. Just badluck. Will definitely be back. Read more

Brilliant experience! Speedy and comprehensive service, excellent chef, and great atmosphere. You find yourself laughing with... friends and strangers as you all miss catching vegetables with your mouth during the performance. Read more
