Been looking for a good Japanese cuisine restaurant in the Winston-Salem area after moving back…read morefrom Hawaii and we found a great one. Located in the same shopping center as Walmart on E. Hanes Mill Rd, this gem is housed in the same spot where the Hwy 55 burger joint was (I sure miss them). Parking is shared with other area merchants, and since it's quite a distance from Walmart's entrance, finding a space is not a problem. The restaurant is well-lit, comfortable and clean. We were promptly greeted and shown to a table. The menu had a great selection of ramen, bento, and sushi. While I was leaning towards sushi, I opted for the chicken katsu bento. The food came out quickly and I was pleasantly surprised at the portion size. Definitely a good value in my opinion. The only disappointment was their take on fried rice, which seemed more like a dirty rice you would get at Popeye's. Honestly, I think white rice would have been a better pairing for this dish. Great service throughout our visit and we're keeping this one on the short list.

My favorite is the highway 9 roll with the bulldog a close second. I also like to get the crab Rangoon appetizer or the crab salad. The crab salad is really unique and fresh tasting. Service is always quick even when they're busy. I love the addition of these fun new tree platters too!

We ordered our drinks and appetizer which came right away. I decided to have a mixed drink from the bar. A mango margarita, but they do have several different specialty drinks. It was freaking delicious. I do have to say we ended up waiting about 45+ minutes for our food. We did get a bit anxious about that, but when it did arrive we felt like it was well worth the wait. We had time to enjoy each other's company. I had the shrimp with lo mein noodles , zucchini and mushrooms. Cooked perfectly and very flavorful with hibachi style. The hubby got steak and shrimp and didn't have one single complaint! The servers were working their tails off! They were working so hard and was very attentive. I just think they may have had many takeout orders that could've made them behind causing the delay in our order. All in, I'm very happy with the food and the service we had tonight.

Presentation of the food looked amazing, but something about the flavor was missing.. kinda bland,…read morenot typical flavors I'm used sonwhen ordering similar dishes elsewhere. Just wasn't calling me to come back for another visit. I done a takeout order, so I didn't visit in the inside. Service was polite over the phone. Once I placed an order, she stated 45 minutes before my order was ready! Longest takeout order I've ever had to wait for.. Can't say that Denton has too much to offer in their little town, but it is nice to have variety like a restaurant like this when you're craving something other than fast food. Little hole in the wall building, but they're usually the go-to's.

Ordered online pickup through their website chicken lo mein and dinner special Pepper Steak w…read more Onion. Husband picked them up. One annoying part of the online ordering was that it said a confirmation number was needed and to get that an app needed to be downloaded. So downloaded the app and still couldn't get the confirmation number. In the end, the restaurant was able to find the order with just the phone number. Chicken lo mein was better than I thought. I enjoyed the flavor, however, no veggies in sight. Description said there would be veggies. Pepper steak was alright, with a sweet sauce. Hibachi sauce was on the side. The dinner special also came with 2 mini egg rolls- a bit greasy and filling was a bit mushy. I asked for fried rice, but it came with plain rice. Online said the food was going to be ready in 15 minutes, but it wasn't ready at time of pick up. They needed maybe 10 more minutes to fill the order. Anyway, prices were pretty cheap compared to bigger cities and portion was more than one meal worth. I would order the chicken lo mein again.

It's rare for me to find a restaurant that can satisfy both, as the kitchen items or the sushi items tend to be lacking in one way or another. Not the case at Koto!

I can't wait to work my way through the menu and try their other offers!

Food tastes good and plentiful…read more Staff was very polite and brought my drink out quickly and my food very shortly as well. The restaurant is very casual and smallish with 10 total tables including booths. As I waited for my meal I noticed most of their business here is coming from take out orders; There was only 1 other customer seated. I ordered steak and jumbo shrimps from the Daily Specials menu. It only costed $10.95. It came w steamed rice or fried rice, your choice along w lots of veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, onions and broccoli. The beef and shrimp were hot off the grill. Yum! I asked for extra of the included sauce, I love a good ginger sauce. The green tea ordered was very good. Negatives: Ginger sauce tasted more like soy sauce and if it had ginger in it...it was grated so finely you could hardly notice it by sight or taste. My mound of steamed rice was cold on arrival. The sign for restaurant was needing fresh paint or a total rehaul. This seems to be a mom and pop restaurant. The 2 people seem to work hard, 1 cooking all meals and 1 serving them. Very pleasant and attentive people. The food was good and you get your money's worth.

We were headed for an old favorite BBQ place in Mochsville. Hadn't been in a while - it had closed…read more- and was replaced by Japanese hibachi restaurant called Tokyo Express. We decided to try it. I ordered Hibachi Chicken and Carolyn had Teriyaki Chicken. Both were served with fried rice, sweet carrots, and a mixture of squash, zucchini, onions, and broccoli. Portions were ample. The chicken (breast)was cooked perfectly. The flavor was a bit bland. Could have used a little salt, and more sauce. The rice had good flavor, but was a touch undercooked. We just prefer "sticky" rice. The carrots were soft and delicious. Just a little sweetness - just right. The mixed veggies were well cooked, a little al dente, but that's the way I like jt. Food was served on styrofoam plates, which is ok. Plastic forks, however, need to be larger and more sturdy. The place is new. Maybe the flavor will come in time. We might be back, but were disappointed the BBQ is gone.

This is typical Americanized Japanese and Chinese food. It does a good job within those parameters…read more I opted for the chicken lo mein. The flavor was neutral. My wife got the steak hibachi. Ditto. The chicken and the steak were very well cooked. The pan fried gyoza were good and the sauce had a bit of punch to it. There are a few reasons beyond the food that I won't likely be coming back. 1. Syrofoam plates and cups even for dine in. Wasteful. 2. Fox News playing on the TV. No thanks. 3. Christian radio playing over the speakers. Don't need it. I understand they are trying to fit in with bright red Mocksville and can't fault them for that. It's just not for me.

I finally tried it and so glad I did!…read more First and foremost, the place is clean which is extremely important to me. Items I tried: crunchy roll and steak noodles that includes veggies and also comes with a soup or salad. I choose salad with ginger dressing. Pros - clean establishment - sushi was absolutely delicious - my steak was cooked to perfection. They made it exactly how I asked for it - ginger dressing is absolutely delicious - large portions. Enough for at least 3 meals Cons - my friend and I were not greeted when we first came in. I noticed that most others said in their review that the staff greeted them and were very friendly. We were not greeted. In fact, I had to speak first. I pay attention to things like this. - white sauce is not good to me at all. It is not the usual white sauce flavor you get at other hibachi establishments. I am returning soon and will try a couple new things and update this review of necessary. UPDATE: I've gone back 2 more times. Excellent customer service, great sushi, the white sauce was a little bit better, but still not my thing...too thick...too sweet...too much mayo. Springs rolls are gd. Crab rangoon gd.
