Had lunch the other day, I was surprised to see it so empty. Had their lunch offerings. Ordered a California roll and Steak Hibachi. Waitress was attentive. Salad was served first, which was unimpressive. Just a few pieces of iceberg lettuce and water downed salad dressing. Before salad was finished the Clear Soup was served. It was warm and tasteless. The California Roll was served but, dry to my liking. Finally, the Steak Hibachi. The steak was cooked to order, medium rare but, was overcooked and tough. The vegetables were tasted dry, while the noodles and rice as bland. Before I left, there was a family having lunch at the Hibachi table.

Great local Hibachi place in Jackson, NJ. Enjoyed the fresh food and entertainment as always. However I wish they would go a little easier on salt!
Great service funny cook and they have kept the place very clean. We have been going to this place with my sister’s family for many years. And I am sure we will be going back again soon!

Date night with my favorite guy. Arrived at 9p on Friday so the place was only about half full. We were seated immediately at a hibachi table with 2 other couples. Our server was great. The chef cooked the food well enough (my steak was perfectly medium rare but my chicken was over done); his tricks needed more practice but his aim with the sake bomb was right on! Yum! He was a bit stiff and tho he knew the script, I think that was all the English he knew. I asked him a couple of questions to get him engaged and he just looked at me blankly. My only complaint is that the sauces weren’t what I was expecting; the ginger sauce was bland and watery and instead of mustard sauce they serve yum-yum sauce. I was disappointed. That said, my 12 year old date enjoyed the entire experience and I did enjoy the meal as a whole. We had a great time and will go again!

I don’t know how anyone could give this place less than a 5 star review!!!! The food is amazing and delicious! I have been coming here for 7 years and the food has never once disappointed! The staff are all so friendly, have never messed up an order, and are quick with bringing out food. This is definitely the best place to eat in Jackson, and I am so sad they are closing ): soon there will be nothing good left in this town.

I absolutely love koto. I have lived in Jackson for 19 years and Koto is always my go to. Its delicious, and hibachi portion sizes are giant. I get the steak hibachi, and it’s perfectly cooked every time. I have tried several other hibachi places around before in ocean county and no where comes close to beating Koto on their prices, portion sizes, freshness and flavor. It’s funny that at other hibachi locations, they make you choose rice or noodle, and soup or salad, but Koto does both for the same price! Same with their sushi, it’s fresher, tastes better and is cheaper than other hibachi restaurants around.
The staff is always friendly and welcoming and make you laugh when you get the hibachi show. But normally I sit on the quieter side with the no grill tables and it’s just peaceful and a great place to go for a quiet but delicious meal.
Will forever be a fan.

The most authentic Japanese Restaurant in Lakewood. Simply the best!

This is a case where I wish the rating system wasn’t limited to 5 stars.
The food was incredible and reminded my father of his time in Japan, the flavors were cohesive and not overwhelming and the prices were on par if not better than other establishments in the state.
The servers were incredibly nice, even made some small conversation as well when it wasn’t busy.
The atmosphere inside was very simple but quite relaxing, the lighting was easy on the eyes and was plenty to see the amazing food presentation and have a good conversation with my dad.
Overall, this is a restaurant I plan on coming to regularly. If I could give this place a 6/5 I’d do it in a heartbeat.

The food was delicious but I won’t be returning. The service was awful. My server was not friendly & so inattentive that he spilled an entire bowl of piping hot soup on me that burned my arm. (followed by sorry and a few napkins) He then proceeded to attend to another table without returning until my meal was ready; he never checked to see if the order was correct or if I needed anything. I had to wave him down for to go boxes and check.

The worst sushi place I ever been to. Staff unfriendly, inattentive, unwelcoming. The hibachi noodles are horrible looks and tastes like plastic, impossible to eat, fried calamari taste like rubber impossible to eat. The rolls very average nothing special. I would never return to this place neither recommend to anyone.
