I went to Kogetsu last night with my mom. For the region, it really is pretty decent. We got sushi, some tempura, dumplings, and a house special. Everything was pretty good. It is probably the best choice for Japanese/Panasian food in the area, and I do think they're doing the best they can while catering to local tastes. The sushi was decent, and I would eat it again-- though I thought that the rice could use a little bit more seasoning. The fish was well presented, which was good. I liked the green tobikko. Super cute! I would have liked if they had offered sweet potato sushi, since that's my mom's favorite. No biggie, though. The tempura was also pretty good. The vegetables were crispy and fresh. The batter was light, which was nice. The peanut dumplings were pretty meh. The sauce was thin and kind of bland, and the dumplings were nondescript. I wouldn't turn my nose up at them, but they could have used a little bit of ginger or something to give them some extra flavor. The house special was also decent. We had asked for it extra spicy, but it wasn't even a little bit spicy. I understand, though, because the kitchen doesn't necessarily want to blow the socks off of its customers. Although I respect that, it would have been nice if it had had a little kick, since the menu said it was hot. It was like typical sweet and sour chicken with some basil leaves. The chicken was crispy, though I thought it could be tossed more thoroughly in the sauce. Overall, I liked it! Thanks! read more

The food was fresh and well prepared but the "spicy" dishes (Spicy Dumplings with peanut sauce & some Thai Fusion Chicken with Basil & Pineapple) were extremely bland and flavorless. My dining companion got the Sushi appetizer and said it was decent. The vegetable tempura was very good, crisp and not at all greasy. The atmosphere is gray and dismal and there was a couple nearby who was bickering loudly the entire time which was distracting. The building has seen much better days. The service was great. They are doing the best they can but the place has a definite post-covid sadness mood so we wouldn't eat in, we would get takeout (maybe) in the future but I'm not sure we would bother going there again . read more

Food quality has been consistently good for a couple of times that we have come. Where in the past we had considered going to jaffrey or even beyond Milford for good chinese I could see going here in the future for more than just scorpio bowls and poo poo platters which I think I might have lived off of in my 20s. Soups were really delicious when we were here and the fried rice tasted soft and light just like I love it. Still hard to find a healthy option that also tastes good other than sushi and most of the rolls include shell fish making me hesistant to order. For a Chinese food place the ambience seems to be a cross between industrial, water scape and some Asian decore. The service is very on top of things and for the most part very attentive. read more

We came with our son and his family for dinner before Peterborough Players. Two of our number had the green curry, one with chicken and one with beef and my wife had pad thai - there was plenty left over for lunch the next day. Granddaughter Soraya had yaki udon, and her mom got a sushi platter. I had the sizzling beef, another good choice. The gyoza appetizer was wolfed down in arrival A reasonable choice for dinner read more

This place can be very very good for sushi. Unfortunately the chef matters, I believe the bigger guy might be an owner or manager. But his sushi is phenomenal, the newer sushi chefs they're usually currently have been just ok. Their ingredients are great. read more

Great food, an amazing view of the waterfall. It is my favorite Asian Restaurant in the area.

The food quality has been consistently very good. I had been ordering take away since we moved back to NH in 2020. The patio is one of the most beautiful in the area. It is a bit noisy out there next to the waterfall which caused an older couple to choose to sit inside, but I think it's exceptionally perfect. Back years ago when I worked at the liquor store I had stopped ordering because the food was inconsistent, sometimes really good, but other times tossable. I'm really happy they've turned it around. Plus now this is the only game in town to order Japanese or Chinese food from, and- no I don't consider Pearl, an actual Asian restaurant. I usually order sushi from here, but the tempura is really fried perfectly and I highly recommend the tempura shrimp. I've tried the Chinese appetizers and I am not as big a fan of these as I am Japanese and Malaysian foods, but still tasty . The thai is pretty run of the mill, and there's a decent Thai restaurant in Perborough(not enjoyable for dine in though in my opinion) I'd recommend sticking with the Japanese or Chinese cuisines at Kogetsu. The drinks are tasty and good value. Service is easy going and attentive, the atmosphere is more formal with a beautiful dining room, but you can come as you are and enjoy the ambiance and cuisine. read more

Service was great and the inside was nice and cool. Sesame chicken was fantastic as always and the Japanese bento box came with great huge proportions and was excellent. read more

This was the worst food I have eaten in a few decades. The kicker was when the sweet and sour chicken came out and it was a strange dye color and the server told me it was gluten free because it was cooked in corn starch. As if that made anything better! The avocado in the sushi rolls was brown and I had to send back the spicy tuna....twice. I do not recommend and wish there was better food in the area. read more

Well all the food was Excellent and I'd love to leave a nice five star review but the bathroom for women Was Dark and Dirty Floor looked liked it hadn't been really cleaned in quite awhile Which makes one question Hygiene in the kitchen ? And this is where your staff washes there hands and such. One of the two toilets was clogged with someone's deposit so to speak Kogetsu get better lighting in the bathroom and hire a nice sanitation company to keep your bathrooms tip top - It was a bad way to end a nice dinner made me pray I didn't get ill - I'm sorry but I'd love to hear it's going to be done -it was bad ... I'd love to come back and feel the help and owners care about this. read more

I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner! It's a really nice little place with a beautiful view. I'm not sure why the downstairs was blocked off. I don't know if it was used before or not. We were seated upstairs in a very open room next to a window with a nice view even in winter. We both ordered hot green tea and it was delicious! They brought it out in some really nice large mugs. They don't leave a pot but they did give us a refill. I ordered orange beef and my husband ordered a sushi dinner. I also ordered a wonton soup. My husband's meal came with soup so he had hot and sour. They were nice and hot and flavorful! The food was delicious as well! I loved their egg rolls and my orange beef had a lot of slices of orange peel so it had a nice taste. After the meal we were to full for dessert and it was also about then that I realized I had forgotten to take pictures of the food. Just one picture of the outside and a photo of part of the menu because I thought it was cute that fried banana became friend banana. . That's what I would have ordered had I the room! read more

Best Asian food in the area. Fresh and very talented chefs here. Have loved everything I have tried - look forward to many more great meals here. read more

Nothing Fancy other than a Nice View. Service is not ever their fault if they mess up and unfortunately you never get a Happy Face when you enter. No matter how many times I go there it seems to get less and less Respectful to there Regular customers who they don't know about. The last draw was when I bought Sushi with multiple people and multiple orders but it came all together as one. I called and asked why is it all packaged as one order & how is this possible? All 3 people who I spoke to & answered "it's not our Fault"!! You have to tell us it's separate order. I'm done with this Place. Thanks for the Local Support read more

Our Father's Day dinner 2025 was pretty disappointing to say the least. We made it a tradition the last 3 years to go here on Father's Day because in the past it was very good. This time, not so much. Everything seemed to be off, even the service. We waited a little too long for our order to be taken first of all. Second, the food temperatures were very concerning. Our spicy dumplings were barely lukewarm. The sushi was not as cold as it should have been. They had no oysters at all. The biggest disappointment of the evening was the sizzling sirloin dinner I ordered. Not only was it not sizzling, it was so tough & chewy I could not even chew or swallow the meat. For $22.95, and maybe 8-10 bite sized pieces of very tough meat & a side of rice, it was just terribly disappointing. Perhaps we'll try again next Father's Day or not. Restaurants should be consistently good, should not be a hit or miss. read more

Worth stopping by, it's nice that its close! Food is very good and beautifuly served and the service is good. Good not great but we go when craving sushi. The location is really nice but there is no access to folks with physical challenges. read more

Kogetsu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Peterborough, New Hampshire

First off: unbelievably beautiful spot. The surroundings themselves are worth the price of the meal. I had the tofu steak, which was delicious (a tad bit less sauce would've made it perfect) and the man had the chef's special with lobster. The service was efficient and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. The interior of the restaurant is closed during the pandemic, so everyone gets to eat outside on the patio overlooking Noone Falls. Highly recommend! read more

The surrounding foliage around Kogetsu was beautiful, but the overall scenery was underwhelming since the waterfall wasn't running with the water level being too low. Service was efficient, and there was plenty to browse through in the menu. I was a bit overwhelmed by the sheer variety of Asian foods (Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese, etc.) offered, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing because it reminded me of the saying, "Jack of All Trades, Master of None." We also went during lunch-time on a holiday but were told we couldn't order the lunch set boxes as they were only serving from the dinner menu on the holiday. Overall, I enjoyed the stir fried rice noodle dish we ordered, but none of us were too impressed with the sushi; the fish tasted fine but the rice tasted completely unseasoned. Kogetsu seems like a nice hangout spot for locals craving Asian food and unique cocktails/smoothies, but I do not see myself returning. read more

Food just okay, not that great. I had a combo plate of Rice with Chicken Fingers, Chicken Wings, and Teriyaki Chicken. It's all tasteless especially chicken wings, taste so plain. It came with a dipping sauce that taste and look just like an apple sauce. Also had Penang Char Kway Teow to go, but it's definitely it does not look or taste like Penang Char Kway Teow at all. The pic on the menu does not look like the one I ordered. It all came black from too much soy sauce with Itty bitty shrimp in it, no bean sprouts or chive in it, not too mention too salty as well. As a Malaysian, I know exactly how Penang Char Kway Teow suppose to look and taste like. If anyone happened to go to Houston, try some Malaysian restaurants over there, then you will know exactly how Penang Char Kway Toew taste like. read more

Kogetsu - View from our table! Saporo on tap! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Peterborough, New Hampshire

we have been couple of time in the restaurant and loved their sushi, service is good and fast. Definitely one of the our favorite restauran.

Normally this place is great. However when we picked up our food the bags were SOAKED in some sticky mess covering most of the meals, the "teriyaki chicken" is a soggy mess of chicken with no teriyaki tastes more like rice wine vinegar. Informed them of a shellfish allergy and ended up having an allergic reaction. We spent $140 for subpar food, a mess and an allergic reaction. When called they stated we could drive the 40 min back there and get a refund for what we brought back. I'm not in a state to drive now due to said reaction and their response "sorry". NOT acceptable. read more

Tried a new restaurant. Don't expect any smiles or pleasantries from the staff, because you won't get that here. The food was nothing exceptional, average sushi with average plating. The positive was sitting next to a window that overlooked a small dam. read more

I try to reach out to the manager about our food , We had take out , I live pretty local and we have eaten here many times with out issue , The food was disgusting it was so dry and flavorless, We ordered rice and orange chicken , We could not even chew the chicken ,the rice was bland and had hair in it . I never complain about our local food , I tried to reach him to see why and he just screamed at me about , That I wanted free food . I will never go back because of this unfair to do this to a repeat customer. I thought maybe they just had a bad night , so I called and was screamed at . So many other places to support unfortunately this will never be included again . Michelle . read more

By FAR the best sushi around. VERY kind staff, great food, great drinks. Our family favorites are the Boiler Roll, the Sushi Boat for 2, Lemongrass Beef and Lemongrass Dumplings. Delicious! read more

This restaurant is a gem with a great menu, beautiful setting, exceptional service, and delicious offerings.

Food is delicious. Menu is large with Chinese selections. Excellent sushi bar. Looks out to view of waterfall's. Service is always good.

Food was excellent, service was great. Only reason for 4 stars is, the sushi wait time is longer than regular food, quality of sushi was excellent though. Would definitely recommend. read more

We go here about 5 to 6 times a year. The wait staff always remembers us and asks how of boys are doing. Jimmy the owner always comes over to say hello. Every time we've gone here the food has been great! Scenery during dusk is beautiful. Only negative is the parking but that issue is with the building ownership and not Kogetsu. Definitely worth the visit! read more

Every dish is carefully prepared. Delicious with nice presentation. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Restaurant has great views and is always very clean. read more

This place has the best Chinese food in the area. I've heard, their Japanese food is great too. My daughter loves their sushi. I only gave 4 stars, because they're pretty expensive. If you don't mind paying a little more for Chinese, or Japanese food, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've had amazing service and food every time I've gotten anything from here. Everyone is so kind and great at their job. The food is to die for. read more

The best Chinese in the general Peterborough area. Very vegetarian friendly. Their lo mein and General Tso's chicken are really quite good also they're hot and sour soup. They're really just what you would expect from a above average Chinese restaurant. Apart from the location which is amazing having a beautiful view of the river and damn. It is a great place to watch the colors change in fall read more

No only does Kogetsu offer excellent service, fresh sushi, and delicious menu items, the amount of support that the Owners of this establishment have offered the Peterborough community during the current pandemic has been Incredible. They have offered free delivery, used tip money to give back to the community and have been incredibly diligent with following new safety guidelines for food preparation. Thank you so much Kogetsu! P.S. try the yaki udon noodles.. they're AMAZING. read more

I had a lovely dish of Japanese eggplant with fresh ginger, veggies, and tofu. We had great scallion pancakes. Actually, they were some of the best scallion pancakes I have ever had, texture wise. Or light tender and crispy. Just lovely. They could've used a tad more scallion, maybe they're catering to American tastes. Both of us had a sake martini, was very well-balanced and delicious as well, with fresh julienned cucumbers. The food was fresh, not too swimming in sauce I read someone else reported. The prices were also reasonable. Filled at the menu had enough variety to suit any taste. read more

We usually go here once or twice a year. Today was the absolute worst meals ever. Spicy chicken wings were slobbered with not so spicy sauce. My spicy crispy beef was bland. I only ate half and didn't bother taking the rest home. My wife's ginger curry had no ginger, very little curry and was so bad she sent it back and decided to not eat anything. At the end they gave us canned pineapple bits with stale fortune cookies. We will never go back again. read more
