Fun spot for Hibachi and other fine food. Steak was done well and the chef's performance was good.

Koto is a favorite hibachi restaurant for our family, and it has been for many years. Our kids now ask to go to Koto for their birthday. We love the cooking acrobatics, and the fire, and more fire… the food is exquisite (try that yum yum sauce with your chicken, steak or shrimp). Our family’s favorite is the fried rice, always so full of flavors. For those on a budget, it is worth splitting a meal as there is often plenty of food for 2. Definitely split a meal if you have kids. Note that the cocktails are very affordable ($7.50). Highly recommended in Norman. Make sure you reserve before going, Koto is very popular and the wait line can be long, especially in the weekends.

Koto's never misses the mark. The food is always mouth watering and the atmosphere is fun and cozy. The chefs and waiters all do a great job at making you feel welcome. My favorite restaurant at the moment!

So much fun! Entertaining and the food is awesome! Has so much flavor, some other hibachi places are bland but here it’s delicious!

This is a lively and popular place! The hibachi chefs all do a good job of having fun, but there is definitely a wide variety of skill. The chicken is the cheapest hibachi option and it is quite good, but if you like shrimp then the shrimp is definitely worth it for an extra $2. Overall, it’s pretty good hibachi and my wife and I will keep returning!

We had the most delicious food and the best experience! Our chef was hilarious and cooked everything to perfection. You get a lot of food for what you pay for, so be prepared to bring home leftovers. The price was definitely reasonable since it comes with SO much food. You get soup and salad, a small shrimp appetizer, plus the entree that includes your meat, noodles, fried rice, and grilled vegetables.
