We visited for lunch on a recent Sunday, and the restaurant was surprisingly quiet. We were seated right away. I ordered the chirashi bowl, while my husband chose the Okhotsk Don. The presentation of both bowls was beautiful and very aesthetically pleasing, but unfortunately, we felt the quality of the fish was below average. We also shared three hand rolls: negi toro, shrimp tempura, and blue crab. I liked that they included cucumber and avocado in the rolls, but the seaweed was soggy and overly chewy. As for the Okhotsk Don, the scallop-to-fish ratio felt off. It came with only one scallop, while the rest of the bowl was mostly filled with random pieces of fish and topped with an overwhelming amount of roe. The service was good overall, but we left a bit confused by all the glowing reviews regarding the food.
Friday Sushi Lunch at Koto Sushi Koto used to be our favorite sushi spot in OC, but this visit felt different. Tony's Ohtani Don was just okay, and the chirashi Camille and I had was disappointing. The restaurant was unusually empty for a Friday, and the familiar Japanese clientele was missing. The sushi chefs we remembered were gone too--replaced by new faces behind the bar. Something has changed here--maybe new ownership. After so many years, it felt a little sad.
Fresh sashimi and sushi?! Yes please! Went to the once a month AYCE buffet and they did not disappoint. The only thing, as others have mentioned, was that they did not replenish the pickled and side dishes. The buffet line is short and long but you will be full with delicious sushi for sure. They have scallop, tuna, hamachi, amaebi and salmon sushi along with some hand roll offerings. They also have shrimp and vegetable tempura, chicken karage, chicken yakitori, sushi rolls and other side offerings. The AYCE was $69 pp and worth it based on the quality and the taste of the food. The price also includes drinks. I will definitely go back for the AYCE but their lunch specials looked good as well from the menu.
Been coming here for years and it's still one of my favorite sushi spots. The quality is always fresh and consistent, whether dining in or taking it to go. I always order the Hakodate bowl, chef's choice sashimi over perfectly seasoned sushi rice. The fish is thick, buttery, and super satisfying, and the rice has just the right touch of sweetness. Service is always friendly and welcoming, and the cozy, relaxed ambiance makes it an easy place to sit back and enjoy your meal. Bowls range $30 to $50 and the Hakodate is totally worth it. Always a solid, comforting meal. Highly recommend.
The food was really good as per usual, however, I did find a big fish bone in my bone that I was not expecting. Luckily it was big enough for me to spot it before I ate it. Other than that I would say the quality of all the different types of fish and the fish roe were all really good! I really the like the variety of fish they have in their bowls!
I love the close knit service and ambiance in the restaurant. It just feels cozy. We dined here Friday night and there was bar and table seating available. We ordered negi toro and salmon skin handroll. The negi toro was straightforward flavors and it wasn't too fatty. But the salmon skin handroll can use some citrus and a better cut of skin for more flavor. The best nigiri item is the eel, it has sauce for flavor and perfectly tender. We also had a spider roll and that was decent too. I think a couple of the dishes would taste better if seasoned or salted a little bit more. Maybe their chirashi bowls are a better option to order.
Sushi Koto is a gem for fresh chirashi tucked away in Fountain Valley. My friend introduced me to this spot, and I'm actually surprised I never heard of it before then. I heard this place can be pretty busy, but I guess I must have been lucky because the two times I've been here, I had little to no wait. There's also a decent amount of seating, so they are capable of accommodating large parties, but I recommend calling and reserving ahead of time for that. FOOD: Gosh, it's hard to choose what to get off the menu. I did giggle a bit at the homage paid to beloved baseball players with their menu items, such as the "Ohtani Don." Okhotsk Don (5/5) - I got this because I love big Japanese scallops. This bowl was so delicious and filling, and I thought it was worth the price. The fish tasted super fresh and topped a hefty portion of imitation crab and vinegared rice. This meal also came with a bowl of miso soup and an interesting dessert. I am not sure of the dessert's official name, but it was a thin layer of mandarin jelly topped with red bean paste, whipped cream, and some fruit. It was not too sweet and inoffensive. No strong feelings about it. SERVICE: Service was standard and attentive. Overall, a welcoming atmosphere.
I first visited Sushi Koto a long time ago for their chirashi bowl. The experience was not bad back then, but since it's a bit far from where I live, I hadn't made the trip again for years. However, the restaurant has always stayed on my list, especially after I heard they started offering a Sunday AYCE Champagne Brunch. At first, the price seemed high (around $80 per person I think), but when I saw it was $59 per person recently, I decided to give it a try. Be sure to make a reservation through their website, due to the restaurant space is limited, and walkins for Sunday brunch are nearly impossible. When we arrived, we were seated promptly, and people were already lining up for food. The buffet is set up along the sushi bar area, and while it doesn't look overwhelming in size, the variety and quality are impressive. They offer a great selection of traditional Japanese hot and cold dishes, sushi rolls, and sashimi. One of the highlights is that they bring in whole fresh tuna and cut it right in the restaurant, I think it's on the same day in early morning. The tuna sushi and sashimi, including both maguro and toro, are incredibly fresh, tender, and melt in your mouth. Other seafood items like small ikura bowl, salmon sushi, yellowtail sushi, sweet shrimp sushi, blue crab hand roll, and scallop sushi are all so tasty, better than all the other buffet restaurants. You can also order sushi or hand rolls directly from the chef if you don't see your favorite items on the plates. Although I spent most of my appetite on raw fish items, I recommend saving some room for their Japanese cooked dishes. The flavors are authentic and reminded me of the breakfast buffets I had at hotels in Japan. The AYCE price also includes house champagne, cold sake, and bottled beer, which is a great bonus for those who enjoy drinks. The champagne was smooth and easy to drink, while the sake was on the dry side but still pleasant. Overall, if you love sushi and sashimi, this is a must try dining experience. The seafood quality is exceptional, the service is fast and attentive, everything was great and makes for a satisfying Sunday brunch.
Pretty good sushi place in Fountain valley. I think I have been here many years ago, but I came here recently and really enjoyed the experience. Sushi Koto is located inside a strip mall, it's small and cozy. I would say it's not the fanciest, but if you're looking for something casual, this place is perfect. I opted for the lunch chirashi, which was about $22. I thought it was a really good deal. There was plenty of fish, which was really fresh, in the bowl. I also really enjoyed the few surprises I found in the rice, like bamboo and asparagus. Definitely thought it was worth it. I didn't get to try anything else because I was pretty stuffed by the time I was done, but next time I would like to try a few more things. They also had pretty good set menus. I will definitely try Sushi Koto next time I am in the area for a casual dining experience.
We've been wanting to come to this restaurant for a while now. We were in the area and decided to stop by for a quick lunch. They weren't too busy since they were wrapping up their lunch hours. The staff was very friendly and even offered us to try their lemon ponzu sauce for free. It was delicious. We got the Ohtani Don and Yamamoto Uni Don. Both were surprisingly filling and the quality of the ingredients were fresh and top notch. Loved the little details in the Ohtani Don with the wasabi shaped "baseball", a radish "bat "and a cute little shaped "home plate". Both bowls came with miso soup for lunch. The Ohtani don came with a dessert in the end. Pretty sure they use real wasabi here as it didn't have that artificial kick/punch you get with the tube wasabi. We also got their spider crab roll and it was great! Definitely will be coming back soon due to their amazing quality and the friendly service. Definitely a no frills, mom and pop restaurant vibes. Loved everything about our visit here!
Their fish was very fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The sushi was nicely prepared with good balance -- not too much rice, and the cuts of fish were generous. The menu has a good variety of bowls and traditional options, so there's something for everyone. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt clean and comfortable, perfect for a casual dinner without being too crowded or hectic. Overall, this is a solid sushi spot in Fountain Valley if you're looking for fresh fish, good portions, and reasonable prices. Definitely coming back again!
First time and everything was great. The service was exceptional. I came in lunch time and there were only 2 ladies serving the floor, and they were both Japanese . And there was only one chef in the back. Entire restaurant was full but they served all the tables very well and fast! I got the Lunch Chirashi Bowl menu. The Toro Bowl. It started out with miso soup, warm and delicious. Then the Toro Bowl - all the sushi were so fresh and the rice underneath was very good as well! I like that the portion was decent and it has all types of sushi in the bowl. 10/10! Then it also came with dessert: Matcha pudding with red beans. The pudding was light, and refreshing, and the sweetness of red bean complimented well. Total $33 for entire set, which is such a good deal! Also tried the Chef's choice nigiri with 10 pieces. Each piece was very fresh, I love toro so the fatty tuna just tasted so fatty and fresh. read more

Extremely fresh and authentic japanese chirashi bowls! We got the ohtani don and Toro don. Everything 5 star!!!!! The dessert was also especially delicious and made me feel teleported back to Japan. Prices were very fair for the quality of fish, just expect to spend $$. Bathrooms were very clean and great service. Definitely will return for fresh chirashi at great price and quality! read more
I wanted to gatekeep this spot but I love them too much Sushi Koto is my FAVORITE sushi restaurant in OC, been around for 20 years!! I get transported back to Japan the moment I enter hehe I like sitting at the bar, being able to talk to the chefs is fun & you can watch them make your food. The service is fantastic, the servers are super personable, and patient. My absolute favorite fish are the salmon, scallop, amberjack, yellowtail, otoro, uni, squid and aka ebi. Every single bite is SUPER delicious, the rice perfectly seasoned and the fish is always super fresh and amazing. The calamari is sooo good, absolutely loved the cronch! It's the perfect spot for date night, family or group dinners. They're very well known for their chirashi bowls but I haven't tried any of those yet so I definitely need to try it soon! read more

We use to really like Sushi Koto, but our recent visit back for a date night left us unsure. The sashimi and sushi slices were all thinner compared to before. The fish was still fresh, but portions sizes weren't like before. My husband found a bone in his Toro. Presentation was beautiful, but service was also pretty awful and we didn't get our waters refilled. They were packed for a Friday night before Valentine's Day. We will probably go to Torrance next time for sushi. read more
We had a great birthday dinner here. Everyone got the Ohtani Bowl it was amazing. The shrimp heads were great also fried and crunchy. Chef came out and sang happy birthday to our birthday boy! Had a great time and will be back for sure. read more

Authentic, high-quality, and absolutely worth a visit - This restaurant is a hidden gem. A truly authentic Japanese spot serving some of the freshest, finest sushi around. They offer several chirashi bowl options, and I couldn't have been more satisfied with both the presentation and the taste. I don't remember exactly which ones I ordered, but every dish was delicious. One even came with a sweet dessert that was so good it felt like a dance of flavors in my mouth. When you see Japanese newspapers and magazines at the entrance, you know you've found the real deal. In addition, the service was pleasant. read more
Easy parking + standard service. I got the nama bara don ($23.50) which was extremely fresh and delicious. All the cuts of the sushi paired with the masago and fish eggs gave it a nice texture and rounded flavors. They also don't skimp out on the sashimi. read more
Last weekend, I had dinner at Sushi Koto for the first time. Some family members have dined here before and recommended coming around 5:30pm to beat the dinner crowd. The restaurant's in a large plaza, so there were plenty of open parking spots at this time. We got a table to fit our large party of 10+ people. I thought the staff were welcoming and service was so quick. I felt the ambiance was casual and homey, and the space was good for small & large parties. I ordered the Unabara with Miso Soup ($24.75). The soup was a hot & simple starter to a filling meal. The Unabara bowl was piled with so much tasty stuff, including quality unagi and omelette with the perfect amount of sweetness. There was a nice ratio of rice to toppings as well. I'd definitely come back for more at Sushi Koto! read more

What I ordered: - Tsukiji don I've tried both this and he lunch chirashi, and for just under $2 more with the Tsukiji don, I recommend going with the Tsukiji Don. It includes yellowtail--which the lunch chirashi lacks--and offers more fish overall, whereas the lunch chirashi includes egg and shrimp to compensate for the lower amount of fish, which might not appeal to everyone. That said, it all comes down to personal preference. The fish quality here is consistently excellent and the seasoning/texture of the rice is perfect. They offer a wide variety of chirashi combinations to suit any taste. If you're in search of a high-quality chirashi bowl, this spot is definitely worth a visit! read more
Not sure what the appeal is.... The chirashi bowls for me are way over priced with low quality meats, and the bentos are served subpar ingredients that looks and tastes like they were made from yesterday-year. Ordered the most expensive chirashi bowl and had high hopes. The toro meat had tendons that was hard to chew and the uni one piece that came with it was just sad. Sweet shrimp was bland and not fresh. Over all it feels like the plate was put together with whatever was left from last night with no real thought process. The bento ordered was even worse, with what seemed like hastily put together "stuff" that are not distinguishable from left overs, and tasted like it. The dessert that included with meals are actually canned pineapples that's been mushed and jello-fied, with blackened strawberries and disintegrated blueberries. I had mad diarrhea afterwards. I would not recommend this place. read more
Sushi Koto is a great spot for authentic Japanese dons. Each don we ordered had a generous portion of a variety of fish. The fish was extremely fresh and beautifully arranged. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with what to select on their menu. The inside also had a very cozy family oriented Japanese atmosphere which made the food feel even more authentic. The next time I am craving some fresh fish I will definitely be visiting Sushi Koto again. read more
We were on a 'date' night and were craving for some Japanese bento so we decided to try this place. The menu we saw online was enticing--a bit on the pricier end so we had the impression that the restaurant itself has a nice ambiance. Got there and was disappointed-- a crowded eatery with so little space to walk thru, packed with ordinary, little tables that were laid out so close together. One of the worst layouts Ive seen. We went during dinner and I realized their food may be quite popular as the place was packed with families. Families chattering in such a compact room my boyfriend and I can hardly hear each other. Definitely not a date place :)) But the bento was good..nothing special, just okay. I'd probably get a to-go chirashi bowl in the future --their chirashi menu looks really enticing and I want to try it-- but definitely not coming back to dine. read more

I'm usually an omakase person, but sometimes you just need a high-quality Japanese raw fish fix--and Sushi Koto in Fountain Valley delivers exactly that. This spot offers an impressive selection of chirashi bowls. While the cuts of fish may look a bit irregular or like scraps, don't be fooled--the freshness and quality are top-notch. It's a shame some people might mistake this place for just another poke shop, because the variety and quality of fish in their chirashi bowls are seriously impressive. If you're in the area and craving something fresh and satisfying, you know where to go. read more
Sushi Koto has been my go-to sushi spot in Orange County for the past 8 years. Their chirashi bowl is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Consistently great quality and friendly service--highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, reliable sushi in a cozy atmosphere. Love this place! read more
My all time favorite chirashi and sashimi bowl!!! I love this mom and pop shop. And I love how they love Ohtani!!!! Sushi chef's all wear Dodger's hat and you can tell they genuinely are Ohtani fanatics! When I want to splurge and treat myself I would get the Hakodate bowl. When I don't feel too hungry I get Ohtani. Yes this is one of the few or only place where you can say I want to get one Ohtani and you will get one actually. In the form of yummy delicious sashimi pieces of course! Service is awesome here and the vibe is always so warm and welcoming. I saw some comments complaining they get small tiny cut pieces..if you order chirashi bowls that meant cut up left over sushi/sashimi pieces! If you actually order those specialty don/bowl you will get big sashimi cuts. Do your research before complaining. read more

So I came back to try their once month lunch buffet! I feel like I am in Japan again! Their side dishes are so authentic! The sushi and sashimi is very fresh but it's just a few choices including sweet shrimp, scallops, yellowtail, tuna, and Salmon. Everything taste very fresh and good quality! However, I wish they would refill more of their side dishes or have more of it to begin with. Because I am used to buffets would refill their dishes. So I am a bit disappointed that they didn't do that for any of the dishes and the portions isn't too much to begin with. The price for the buffet is $68 for adults. It's a reasonable price for the quality of the sushi and sashimi they provide. But overall it's a very nice experience! Service is great! Ambiance is casual Japanese restaurant style. It's clean and comfortable. read more

Sushi Koto is a small Japanese restaurant that mainly specializes in Dons. Service was quick and it wasn't too crowded. I got the Ohtani bowl and the portion was quite large. Fish was amazing and everything tasted very fresh! I paid $32 which did feel like a lot but the food was very good. It did come with a little mochi red bean dessert though. A little pricy but I would definitely come back if I am ever in the area. read more

Sushi Koto has been my go-to lunch sushi spot for years! They have a variety of sushi/chirashi bowls that will satisfy your cravings. Price is reasonable for the portions and quality of fish you get. For example, their lunch chirashi is only ~$21. I typically get the Ohtani Don (tribute to Shohei Ohtani). The bowl consists of sweet shrimp (you can get the head fried), toro, crab, and chef's choice of miscellaneous fish. You also get miso soup and dessert with this entree. The ambiance feels more like a lunch spot. It's a straight forward spot with no frills, with an open counter where you can see the sushi chefs preparing your food. Customer service is attentive and friendly. They handle the lunch rushes very well. I'm already thinking of my next sushi bowl here! read more
I love sushi koto so much! It is right next to my house so I go by often :3 Although it might be on the pricier side of a don I think that these bowls of rice and sashimi is packed to the BRIM! Everything inside the bowl is just the perfect amount of everything and the fish is always fresh for what you're paying for. There's tons of seating inside and the service here is great I love how they serve you on the spot. They also do take out as well and they still pack you to the brim read more
