Koto Japanese Restaurant

This is a genuine sushi and Japanese cuisine restaurant. Everything was top quality, nicely presented and the service was very good.

Great sushi and they happily catered to my requests to avoid food issues and had gluten free soya sauce.

A little pricey, but excellent fare. The sushi chef is the wife of the original owner, and is almost as good as he was. Still an excellent meal.

Another good Japanese restaurant in Campbell River, this one run by Japanese. A bit more pricey than the usual Japanese/Korean places, and a more limited menu but the food served is of high quality. They also serve Japanese beer from Okinawa and the decor is as close to Japanese as I have seen outside of Japan. Only real down side is that they are slower than your typical Japanese restaurant however I still highly recommend them. Campbell River is blessed with several excellent Japanese dinning places and Koto is probably tops of those.

I find Koto to have the best Saki and soy sauce. Top quality and a little different. Service was a bit slow and I think it's a bit more expensive than the rest. But very traditional and some may find it the best in town. I know many people like the 'new' style of sushi with creams and sauces. I'm getting a bit tired of that. So if you like traditional try Kotos.
