    So good, the owners are so kind and the food is always on point. I wish they'd do their rice a different style, it doesn't travel well.

    We love Kitsune! The food is innovative and tasty. Chirashi, tuna yellowtail donburi, tuna zuke don…read moreare definitely among of our favorites. The quality of sashimi is unparalleled (especially for the area). The tempura is not heavy or greasy. The grilled lamb chop was amazing. Each week it's a new surprise menu! Kitsune is back at Talta Lodge summer 2023! Every Thursday from 5:30pm-8:30pm on the Talta lawn for the Little River Summer Series, an outdoor event featuring Kitsune menu, beer tent, live music, lawn games, fire pits, stream to wade in, and gourmet s'mores by La Shack. Family friendly and even (leashed) dog-friendly event. No tickets or fee to enter! Fridays and Saturdays from 5pm-9pm back in the downstairs lounge space - reservations recommended. For the past winter (Oct2022-Mar2023), Kitsune was located as a pop up on Thu, Fri and Sat at Talta Bluebird with a limited number of tables. Reservations are recommended for the sit down dinner on Thursdays. And your liquor tab will be charged separately - Talta keeps these funds but the tips do go to the Kitsune crew. Fridays and Saturdays are a limited bar menu. There is some take out available.

    The staff, ambiance and cocktails are fabulous!! The food? Not so much. Firstly, the portions for…read moreprice are laughable. Our bill was over $200 for two people and the time between appetizers and entrees was significant to the point the server comped one of our apps. The food isn't seasoned properly and the oysters were... not Good. Firstly you only get 4 for $16 and each one has a mound of shaved ice on top I could only eat one and that was a struggle. Very bizarre. I thought maybe the ramen would be good but nothing has much flavor at all. I would only recommend the bar and maybe pass on food

    I've been coming to Koto since I was a kid and always enjoyed the pomp and circumstance. If you…read morehave kids or a special occasion it's definitely worth considering and doing the hibachi "show" and trying to catch some of those flying veggies in your mouth. Service is also quick and I think food is dependably pretty good. I like that the grill meals come with salad (dressing is quite tasty) and soup and that portions are very generous for whatever you get hibachi wise. I got the sea scallops and steak combo. They had heard salmon but didn't have any issue when I clarified on my intended order and ended up getting both. Everything was delicious and it's nice that the meal, which can be meat heavy, also comes with a good amount of veggies. One of my kids had their own version of the hibachi and enjoyed their salmon while the other one got the teriyaki non-hibachi, which has a slightly different flavor. We also shared some sake bottles and nigiri. Maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise that our bill as a family of four was over $150 without tip, but it does make going out to Koto more than once or twice a year tough. I noticed the same items for their lunch menus were considerably cheaper so that might be the play if you are flexible timing wise.

    My wife and I were really disappointed by the way the manager, Dan, treated his staff. The…read morebartender was clearly drowning in drink orders and doing her absolute best to keep up, while the rest of the staff were incredibly sweet and doing everything they could to provide good service. What really stood out was the way Dan spoke to his employees, especially the women. He repeatedly talked down to them in a way that was uncomfortable to watch. There was also a lot of pointing and aggressive body language while speaking to them, which was completely unnecessary and came across as disrespectful and condescending. Instead of standing around criticizing his staff, it would have been nice to see him jump in and help a little--especially when the bartender was clearly overwhelmed with drink orders. His employees were doing their best, and a manager should be supporting their team when things get busy, not making the situation more stressful. The staff themselves were kind, friendly, and clearly trying their best. It's unfortunate to see employees working hard while their manager makes an already stressful situation even more uncomfortable. A little patience, respect, self-awareness, and actually helping your team would go a long way.
