    Chicken Teriyaki
    Steve W.

    Great experience! Great service! The food is always great and the employees are very friendly. If you're looking for Hibachi and don't necessarily want to sit down at a restaurant and have the show this is the place for you. The noodles are great and they have the best yum yum and spicy sauces!

    Under the meat and vegetables is mostly rice.

    My sister wanted to try Koto, so we decided to order it one evening on a whim. The food was warm and packaged well upon delivery. It smelled good too, so we had high hopes that it would taste good. The rice was okay as well. We ordered both the chicken and steak. The meat seemed to be good quality and fresh. However, we enjoyed the chicken much more than the steak. We ordered a variety of sauces, much of which we didn't care for. I'm finicky, so I ate mine plain with soy sauce. My sister ate hers mostly with teriyaki sauce. I ordered mine with carrots and broccoli only, but next time I'll pay extra for just broccoli. I didn't care for the carrots. My biggest complaint is that the container is mostly rice. Only the top layer is chicken and veggies. I think half the container being rice and the other full half being chicken and veggies would be a better value. But I digress... The food was flavorful and decent. I'd probably order again at some point because it was decent, but it's not spectacular or anything. And certainly not the same as actually sitting down to eat at a hibachi restaurant.

    Noodles

    Koto has become a go to spot for Fast Food Hibachi for me. I discovered this place on Tik Tok and knew I had to try them out. I did place my order online and it told me that it would be ready in about 20-30 mins. When I walked in, I was greeted, and I walked to the counter and I let them know that I had placed an order online. They asked my name and my food was ready and waiting. I ordered Koto Combo with no vegetables side of Noodles and Garlic and Yum Yum Sauce. The Combo comes with Shrimp, Steak and Chicken all were seasoned very well. I enjoyed the sauces on the food as they gave it a little more flavor. I wasn't a fan of the noodles as they didn't give me that true Hibachi Noodles. Koto gives me the hibachi taste without the wait and the show (Nothing wrong with the show but when you seen one you've seen them all). Price rang is very affordable for what you get. This is a place that I frequent often and I have tried a few things.

    If you don't mind not seeing "the show" (onion volcanoes, beating hearts, rolling eggs) or having soup or salad, the flavor is phenomenal. So is the garlic sauce. For about $38, the combo is a large portion. Heavy on the rice. In terms of ambiance, it's more of a carry out business on a corner with a fair amount of metered parking. If you wanted to eat your meal there, there's about eight (8) two person tables. SERVICE: Each time I placed my order online and was pleased that it's ready much sooner than than predicted. I hope this BoB thrives and expands to offer a true hibachi type dining experience. Definitely worth checking out.

    Salmon

    Been meaning to try this place. For some reason I thought it was a dine in restaurant. You can order your food and eat it there, but definitely a to go establishment. The atmosphere is comparable to any to go place with minimum seating. Service was average, nothing really did out. I had the combo hibachi, which comes with fried rice, veggies,chicken,shrimp, and steak. The portions are good. My steak was very tough to eat and it had a taste to it I wasn't fond of. It taste like ginger or teriyaki. It's extra for noodles and any sauces you want. You would think your meal would come with a complimentary sauce and pay extra for extra. My daughter had soup with salmon in it and she liked it. My friend had the salmon hibachi and the salmon was cooked and seasoned well.

    Okinawa Tempura
    Dinora D.

    Wow. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! The place is always packed so put your order in advance. Okinawa Tempura roll was good. The "sushi sauce" is basically eel sauce, so it's a hint of sweetness. The pieces are big, so one roll is filling enough. Koto Combo was a perfect shareable amount and you get a little of everything. We added teriyaki sauce and the option to cook the food in it. There was a lot of flavor this way, but I'm sure without this option it's just as good. Everything was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The veggies were a perfect cook - not too soft but still a little crunch. I highly recommend this place! I will be back soon!

    I think I learned about this restaurant on Instagram. Food was amazing. My husband actually picked it up for us. We didn't feel like cooking within for like thinking about food, but we know we're hungry. So I was able to call the order in and young lady was very nice on the phone and let us try a variety of sauces. What we end up getting was the combo order which was the salmon and the chicken and the yum. Yum sauce I believe is called amazing tonight at 10:00. I'll definitely not cheap. Both orders are saying together. We're about $65 and that's for carry out. Definitely quality but don't expect anything to be cheap here

The dining…read moreroom isn't huge, but it has this lively energy that makes it feel exciting instead of crowded. I even was able to watch the chefs cooking just a few feet away. I could hear the sizzling from the grill, smell the food cooking, and by that point I was more than ready to eat. Our server was really nice and gave us a bunch of recommendations. Everything sounded good, but I ended up going with the Pork Belly Yakisoba. This dish was packed with flavor. The noodles had that smoky, slightly charred taste, and they were coated in just enough sauce to make every bite rich. The sauce brought a nice balance of savory, a little sweetness, and plenty of umami that soaked into the noodles. The pork belly was easily the best part. It was incredibly tender and juicy, with just enough fat that it practically melted in your mouth. Every piece had those caramelized edges that added even more flavor. Then you get the crunch from the cabbage and bean sprouts, the freshness from the scallions, and the little nutty flavor from the sesame that tied everything together. Hahaha I'd definitely come back. This is one of those dishes that sticked with me long after I left.

I got the pork okonomiyaki lunch set and added a fried egg to it. I like that the table has a built in grill to keep it warm (I'm a slow eater, so this is extra beneficial for me). The bacon was quite salty, compounded by the okonomi sauce. Hoping the kombu vegetables would offset this, I mixed them into each bite to no avail. The pandan coconut mochi donut holes I chose were probably the highlight. They were crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and there was ample sauce for dipping. I think some people would find the service top notch here--constantly checking in on me and keeping water refilled. I guess that came with a cost: 3% service charge automatically applied, and the server proactively brought over a digital payment system, so the 18% tip I selected calculated off the total leading to what was essentially a tip of 23%.

Candidly it wasn't on my to-do, but the restaurant happened to be on my route back to my hotel and I hadn't had dinner yet. I walked into the restaurant, and there was a spot open right at the bar waiting for me. I think it was meant to be. Loved the vibe of the restaurant, which was casual but trendy. Best part of all was the music. My ears perked up when I heard Hieroglyphics - The Who... A Plus Remix. Instantly felt "at home" with the underground, old school hip hop. Compliments to their curated Pandora playlist. I ordered the the spicy scallop roll, super san roll, and sawara (Spanish mackerel) nigiri. The spicy scallop roll was my favorite. The super san roll was a mix of their toro with varying fattiness. I appreciated that you could order half rolls at Sushi-San, which came out to 5 pieces instead of 10. This was more than enough food for me. The sawara was buttery and fresh. If you don't like the "fishiness" of saba, you'll enjoy sawara. Lastly, overall customer service was great. The food came out incredibly fast. The bartender who assisted me was awesome. He was attentive and personable.

I came with a friend for lunch during the week and they have a somewhat decent lunch special (for today's standards when factoring the cost of living and inflation). We took advantage of that and ordered the 3 combo platter per person so we got 6 total items since there was two of us. The highlights for us were three yellowtail yuzu sushi as well as the salmon rice bowl. The miso soup that came out first wasn't that great. It was overly salty. My friend who is from Japan that I ate with said this place was ok for American standards but not at all great compared to anything in Japan lol.

The Alaskan cod sandwich was served on a bed of cabbage covered in a sweet teriyaki & brown mustard sauce with maybe a squeeze of kewpie sprinkled in between. The Berkshire pork eggrolls had microgreens & shaved radish on top of a crema type of sauce that balanced the heat of the kimchi nicely!! For the main attraction I ordered the spicy garlic ramen that was such a delightful mouth experience it really hit all the taste buds! The noodles were perfectly bouncy with the right amount of chew. The jellied egg was perfect and rounded the soup very well! The red chili threads enhanced the spicy miso broth just enough to slurp all the delicious goodness down! My husband ordered the Sapporo miso soup which had more of a creamy type of broth vs the spicy garlic. The noodles were also thinner than regular ramen & had a bouncy springy texture that just hit the spot! Since it was kinda chilly outside we also ordered hot green tea to accompany our spectacular ramen dishes. This place also offers delicious seasonal cocktails on the menu or hot sake if that's what you are hankering for. Definitely try this ramen joint if you are in the Logan square area your tummy will be so happy that you did!!
