Comment: Went for some sushi and hibachi. It started off with the server not knowing the menu and how to get his manager to clarify couple items. I ordered Philadelphia roll and yellowtail. It tasted pretty good. Then went on to have hibachi with steak shrimp and chicken. The chef was no fond, and kept on, mumbling and singing to himself, as he was cooking the food like he was timing when the food is cooked. Overall, it was OK but I’m not sure if I’ll be back. The hibachi tasted great, but not enough veggies, mainly rice.

Sofie, the manager, Vivian (and all the staff) provide awesome hospitality.As a fish snob i can confidently say they have fantastic and fresh sashimi!If you want to check them out, but dont want to navigate the mall, make sure you park in the food court.

Comment: Me and my peers went here to have dinner; we had a great time and enjoyed the vibes. The food was underwhelming, some of us got hibachi and sushi. One of my friend has an allergy and it was specially mentioned to the server, however, the chef missed it. My friend, ultimately, had an allergy reaction and the owner got benadryl for her.Overall, the staff were super nice!

Comment: Very nice atmosphere and attentive waitstaff. I chose Koto for our gathering because they had all the sushi I craved (and then some!) as well as plenty of non-seafood/Thai-inspired and other options, so that everyone could find something to like in the menu. No complaints!

Comment: I recently dined at Koto Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi in Syracuse, NY, and had an incredible time! The food was excellent, and our hibachi grill chef did an amazing job entertaining us throughout the meal. I highly recommend this place for large gatherings as they can accommodate many people while still delivering fantastic entertainment and a delicious meal. A must-visit spot!

Comment: We had to wait until our entire party arrived to be seated. The service was satisfactory and the drinks were relatively strong. I have a weakness for the Hibachi experience but the volcano was sub par😔. The food was good though and my Hibachi chef tried to give the full experience. If youre in Destiny Mall and have a hankering for sushi or Hibachi you should try Koto.

Comment: A great Hibachi grill restaurant, total price $145 for 4 people. Very fast seating, service. Great place for family dinner after walk8ng thru the mall. They have a window where you can order food to go, or inside seating option for group dinners. Chef was hilarious and friendly.Highly recommend the Filet mignon and Lobster hibachi dinner, with miso ramen soup.

Comment: One of the few places in the Syracuse area that sell rock shrimp. I ordered online via their website, and the order was ready within 15 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. The shrimp were both plentiful and tasty, frankly I was a little bit surprised at how large the appetizer was. Very happy, and Ive dined there before. I will dine there again.

Comment: I have never been to a Hibachi Restaurant before, this was thee best experience I had, in a long time. Your food is cooked freshly in front of you, while you sit back and enjoy the Chef dazzled you with his skills. The service was beyond perfect..the food OMG, it was finger licking good, the steak was done to my perfection. 😋 too much to tell you, you really have to come here and experience it for yourself. Seriously you will be making that trip for every special occasion and more.....all the dishes and desserts was just spot on, besides the services was top notch....I can ONLY say amazing compliments about this Hibachi restaurant ❤️ just go!!! You will not regret it. My photos will tell you the rest. And the fishes was awesome just to look at... the little girls was have such fun, just trying to touch them.

Comment: Food is good. Place is clean. Its dark and can be loud but it doesnt necessarily mean you cant have an intimate meal with your company. The mens bathroom does expose the urinal when opened and diners can see men at the urinal which can be awkward lol. Bit usually a good quick eat when shopping.

Comment: We visited this place a month ago. It was awesome. Its spacious inside. Staffs were nice and professional. The food was tasty. We got two different kinds of ramen (both delicious). Kids enjoyed their kids cocktails. We finished with fried ice cream. Ladies room was clean. There was a changing table, but it was a little dusty. I spent a little time cleaning it up before changing my kid. The changing table was outside of the restrooms. So the kid didnt really have much privacy if people happened to be waiting there.

Comment: I have always wanted to love Ramen. I could never become accustomed to the fish broth taste, until I met this Delicious MISO RAMEN! This is the best ramen I have ever had! Its such a beautiful unity of sweet and spicy! The pork belly was SO tender and utterly delicious! I could still taste the fish but it was much more palatable. I highly recommend that you give this a try! Also, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the service was quick.

Comment: Great sushi, beautifully prepared in nice portions. I saw a sushi place in a mall food court and wrote it off, but a mall employee said it was good, and no other sushi place in Syracuse had indoor seating, so I gave it a try. I have eaten a lot of sushi in my life, and this place is among the best that I’ve had. Now, I’m not going to Jiro’s place and spending $300 at a time. I spent about $30, and it was the best $30 I’ve spent on sushi in a long time, maybe ever. Thanks to Ben, the manager. I think. Maybe he was the bartender. But he carried himself like the manager. Great spot.

Comment: Vegetable stir fry from the takeout window is always the best value! Comes with your choice of white rice, fried rice or fried noodles. You can add different meats at an additional cost. You can order sushi rolls from there as well. I havent been into the restaurant for table seating but several friends have enjoyed it. They do run sushi and happy hour specials. Check their site for details.

Comment: I come here rather often for happy hour, either with friends or to study for work. The sushi is kind of on the small side for normal pricing, so happy hour/snack hour is a very welcome and appreciated deal. Eris has been my server these past several visits.. super sweet, attentive, and composed, no matter how busy the restaurant is.I have had an actual meal here a few times, as well, usually the Veggie Yaki Udon, which is usually fantastic, except the last time which was a bit too light on the sauce.. still delicious, though!Years ago, I believe my first time at koto, I was given Seafood instead of Veggie. I put up no real fuss, just asked for a replacement (octopus is not my thing,) and my meal was totally comped. I’ve been going ever since, and have had nothing but good food and great service.

Comment: I always love this place. Ive been coming here for a while, a couple years, sometimes they change things up because of different chefs, but everything turns out good still. I have dietary restrictions also, that they can accomodate. Great food, service, and cost. The atmosphere is sometimes relaxing sometimes fun, sometimes both.Besides being inviting and clean it is also a very convenient location... I always make sure to make Koto part of my agenda when I come to the mall for any reason.

Comment: It’s satisfying food, done properly. We visit once a month. I’d suggest watching them cook your food. I’ve returned undercooked shrimp, chicken and hurried items on frequent occasions. Communication from English speaking staff to the non-English speaking cooks is key. Still, I recommend Koto.

Comment: It is always hard to make everyone happy, especially during the holiday shopping season. So what I try to focus on is did I get a good meal? If I wanted a steak type meal I would go to some fine dining. With that said, you can always get a consistent same taste at Koto. I come to Destiny center often and try many of the foods. I can say that my last meal here was good and the food came out quick, which is what I want. Their takeout service is a great feature. Thanks.

Comment: Great hibachi meal for the family. Food and cooks show were great. Be prepared to be there a while. Must like the taste of soy, as the do use a lot of soy sauce.

Comment: This is a pretty standard hibachi grill restaurant, but everything was delicious. Alaska Roll and Sweet Potato roll were both very good, as was the hibachi. Our waitress did a fine job letting us know exactly what menu items contained dairy for a special dietary need. No complaints.

Comment: Sushi is good, hibachi is good but portions, especially of fried rice, are a bit small for this restaurant type. Taste-wise, the hibachi filet mignon and fried rice I ate were very good, about the level I would expect from a typical hibachi joint. Servers are usually friendly, but both sushi and hibachi can take a long time to be served.

Comment: The Koto is one of my favourite restaurants in the world. I love their food, the atmosphere, the staff, everything feels and tastes the way it should at a really great restaurant. It was where I ate sushi for the first time ever. The only slight downfall is that it can be a tiny bit pricey and you have to have a liking for Japanese food, but if you do and you’re wise with your ordering, it can be the perfect dining experience for any occasion.

Comment: As a restuarant Koto is a great experience with an entertaining show and great food, however my favorite feature of this particular restuarant is the food to go window in the food court! It offers a much cheaper alternative to the sit down restuarant food in a quick convenient manner. The food is great, though not the same as in the restaurant, the most notable difference being that the vegetables served with each meal consist purely of cabbage. I recommend the hibbachi steak with yum yum sauce!

Comment: I love this place great food. Great employees. I love their sushi I come all the way from Binghamton just to eat there. I suggest the King Kong roll, Ichi Roll and the Pink Panther. They all have tempura shrimp in the middle its very tasty.

Comment: The food is always good here, and the service is too. Prices are slightly higher as it is located in the mall, and sushi is always more expensive than traditional food, but the prices are reasonable for what is being offered. Koto offers some of the best sushi in the North Syracuse area. I was pleasantly surprised with the serving size of the belly tuna offered here as is was almost the size of a six piece roll. Would highly recommend.
