The food was amazing, and the service was spectacular. We went for resturant week, but ended up just ordering from the regular menu. The seaweed salad, along with each roll and the dessert. The chef JJ came out and talked with us and gave us a little surprise dish. Overall it was a great experience, ill definitely be back

We went to Koto Sushi because of the relatively low prices. We'll go back because of the food. We shared a sushi sashimi combo for two. As the included miso soup and garden salad were tasty, we had our hopes up for the platter. We were pleasantly surprised. Plenty of food for two hungry men, and all was good. The Double T roll was one of the best I've ever had.

Overall Overall experience was very positive. Will definitely eat here again. Food Food was very tasty and fresh. Well priced for what you're getting. Good amount of selections on the menu. For about $25(maybe $20), two people can walk away stuffed Service Service was good also. Friendly, attentive and with good follow through Location It's in a low traffic area on a small block. Tuck away just off the hustle and bustle of market street.

Friendly staff, attentive server greeted me as I entered the restaurant. Order was taken less than 5 minutes after I was seated. I ordered the seaweed salad + miso (appetizer), sweet potato roll, shitake mushrooms roll + vegetable roll (entree) and Japanese ice cream(dessert). Everything was deliciously seasoned + beautifully presented. Generous portions! Professional + pleasant staff guarantees a future return visit! Definitely a 5+ star winner!

The sweet heart roll is the best, so delicious. The Caterpillar roll also very yummy. All the rolls are great and BYOB too.

My daughter and I dined here on a Friday night. We enjoy Japanese food even if not the most adventurous dishes. We started with a variety of veggie sushi and Agedashii Tofu, then I had the tuna sushi and she had the Yaki Udon. Plus the Chef brought out a fish dish for us to sample. All the food was great. Very fresh. The service was wonderful if only a bit slow (although we were more than a bit hungry). The restaurant is simple but very clean and well decorated. In the end I was surprised that our meal was only $59 plus tip. We will definitely be back.

We decided to try this restaurant when in Philly for the day and had no expectations. It was such a pleasant experience! The Manhattan roll and Lobster Dynamite roll were both spectacular and the pan-roasted Chilean Sea Bass, let me just say OMG! We will definitely return to this cute little establishment and recommend it to anyone visiting Philadelphia.

Amazing food, as usual. This place never disappoints. The sushi is so fresh and flavorful and the service is friendly. The spicy tuna pizza and lobster buns are absolutely incredible!

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Food was delicious. Sushi was fresh and tasty. Tempura shrimp was crispy and flavorful. Prices were reasonable. Server was so accommodating. Even brought us a sample of a new dish from the chef. Our only negative was the lack of air conditioning. It was a steamy night. The doors were open for ventilation but really needed ac on.
