Koto's Japanese Restaurant

Went to a birthday here and brought my own food. Staff tried to argue with me about this insisting I was able to eat there. Yet a Friend who works there says the kitchen staff had no understanding of allergies especially celiac. Another person in our party has a condition where they can’t have gluten - ordered food prepared separately in the back which they forgot about and didn’t bring out till everyone was done eating and they still got glutened. Avoid if possible.

I asked the staff for a gluten free menu and no one had any idea what I was talking about. The regular menu doesn’t list whether things are gluten free and doesn’t even include that they have gf soy sauce available. After speaking to our waitress, she suggested the fried rice special since it is gluten free and made sure to mark it down as an allergy. It was prepared in the back of the kitchen and not on the hibachi table with everyone else’s food. She also mentioned that the Hibachi Soup has wheat in it and to steer clear of that.

Willing to give Celiacs rice and steamed veggies while taking precautions.

They have gluten free soy sauce and will make your hibachi on a separate side of the grill. They also have a great gluten free menu so you know what sushi is gluten free! Just wish there was more specialty roll options
