Koto Grill & Sushi - Salem

I review my review only to confirm that koto is still amazing. they are constantly adding more vegan options to their menu and are still some of the best food in the city and best sushi on the north shore. very vegan friendly and many of the menu points are vegan friendly as-is. the sushi tastes super fresh and is always well prepared. sometimes they have special vegan specialties, including a vegan thun-fishing roll. good prices and solid portions. always super consistent and never had a just ok or bad meal here. updated by previous review on 2019-07-12

We loved this place. we went during halloween and the ambiente was all creepy and dark and completely in character. our server was great and very friendly. they had so many vegan options on their menu and they were completely creatiw and beautifully presented. all vegan/vegetarian options clear with a w marked we ordered the vegan salmon special maki, annie’s maki (which was sweet potato tempura, bananas, cream cheese with mango and avocado and mango sauce) totally divine. we also ordered the green monster maki (the asparagus tempura, gurke, mango with kiwi and sweet chili sauce topped) we also ordered their strawberry soy a delicious Korean alcoholic drink and hotter will. we wish there was a place like this where we live.

They were very covided safe and had many vegan options. make sure to check their special plaque behind the bar as we missed some. the orange tofu was crispy and tasty. would come back.

Tonight 10/13/21 with my family stopped. the food was good, but the service was bad. I am vegan gluten-free and wanted blase tee, but they said their regular boba tee aromen are not vegan. they said they could make a green tee with lychee jelly, but then they brought me a green tee with lychee sirup from the jelly, but no jelly. they claimed that the gel was not gluten-free, but thought it would be appropriate to pour the syrup from the gluten that contains jelly into my drink?! my man ordered the Ma-Po soup that didn't come out when all the others came out. At some point, a waitress noticed that my poor man did not eat and asked what he ordered. all the others ended their engaged when the suppe of my man came. at the end our waitress asked if the manager had ever come and was shocked when we said no. later she came back with the bill, still no manager, and the bill had no adjustments that we thought it could, since she said the manager should talk to us. we paid and let us be confused and disappointed by the service, but at least that eating is delicious!

We ordered pickup, all menu items that are vegan are clearly marked. I had the vegan summer rolls, the vegan dragon roll, and the avocado mango sushi. And a fruit tea with boba! Excellent selection of vegan options for the area.
