Koto Buffet - Placerville

Not coming back or recommend until they change their ways and bring back the same food before or add on more. Waiting is totally enforced with reservations. Ensure to get reservations! Fridays are the lobster, crab and prime rib day and supposed to be their main event for the week. $59 is NOT ok for dinner event. This is before knowing below where a whole aisle of food is missing from their menu. Update: I just realized that their food had gone downhill. There were no dungeon crabs on this visit and not sure how long they had quietly removed many items. I was just reminded of previous patrons who have gone. There are also a lot of other items that were missing: sandwiches, mussels and clams, birria meat for the tacos, short ribs, scallops, salmon... And etc. this is just wrong. If you are going to remove items, then you need to reduce your price. This is just plain wrong and a lie. There is no way a snow crab legs, and lobster are worth the cost that they are charging to get in. I was praising that a casino having a buffet is going in the right direction, but charging more for less product is just plain thievery. Parking: Drive and find a spot. Kid-friendliness: There is a level dedicated for kids and the buffet can accommodate kids if anyone brings them. However, it is a casino, just to keep that in mind. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility with elevators to get to every level and wide enough to pass through anywhere.

Large facility, lots of options. Call before going to see if you’ll need an RSVP. They do have a walk up line, but will sometimes get turned down if too busy. Smells little Smokey but get use to it after a few minutes.

Koto Buffet is amazing! Have enjoyed both an amazing lunch and the seafood dinner. Drinks are self served and the staff is mostly there to clean plates but will help with special requests. Even though I don't feel like we had a server, I was satisfied with how quickly they kept our table cleared. The seafood night has crab legs, lobster, mussels, peel and eat shrimp, scampi bar and more. The sushi on the regular buffet is great and will not disappoint. The prime rib was perfectly cooked. The assortment of desserts will ensure you never have to have the same thing twice. The salad bar had plenty of options. Each area is well staffed and there to assist and answer questions. Whether for lunch or dinner, you are sure to leave full and content. My next visit will be to try the Sunday brunch.

This is a large buffet with lots of options. We went on a Friday evening when they had the seafood special. My partner enjoyed the lobster. The shrimp scampi action station made your shrimp pasta dish to order and how you liked it. It was better than expected, even arriving at 9pm.

I was very pleasantly surprised how clean and the food was actually very good. Will be going back in the future. Vegetarian options: a good salad option
