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

This was the first time my wife and I visited Kogetsu since it changed over from Mt. Fuji. We were very disappointed since we had always enjoyed the restaurant when it was still Mt. Fuji. We ordered the steamed dumplings as an appetizer which has always been our go to and they were awful. The dough was way too thick and under cooked plus the filling had a sweet flavor that was at best unpleasant. I ordered the shrimp tempera and once again the batter was too thick and soggy and the vegetables inside over cooked. The portion size however was very good, too bad it didn't taste better. The miso soup was inedible being too salty and having a fishy taste and I only ate a few spoonfuls before putting it aside. My wife ordered the Mu-shu chicken which was okay but mediocre. The best part of the dinner was the Ting Chou beer and the fortune cookies at the end. The wait staff was efficient and nice but blue jeans? Come on. Sorry to say, once and done. There are too many other places nearby to eat at with much better food. read more

Very Good food. Fresh and flavorful. Good service and nice view of the local river. Service was also competent and friendly. This is my third time in and I've never been disappointed. A good solid restaurant that I think is under appreciated. read more

Terrible quality and over-priced. Progressively worse since it changed hands. New owners cutting every corner.

A reliable choice for lunch or dinner. The staff is welcoming and tries to do their best to please customers . They will adapt recipes for food allergies and dietary restrictions . Menu lists the standard fare , with nothing that strikes me as original . Most meals I have eaten there have been well prepared, and the sushi is always fresh. read more

Such a beautiful place, such a great location with waterfall view -- really mediocre food. How do you screw up vegetable lo mein? By piling a bunch of tiny bits of "vegetables" over a gelatinous mass of stuck together noodles. And this in the middle of the afternoon with an almost empty dining room (not like the cooks were overwhelmed by orders, just overwhelmed by food). The second star is for the nice bar staff. read more

They were SO rude to me. I waited an hour and a half for my take out. Wouldn't explain to talk to me. They sent a young waitress to tell me they made a mistake, obviously I wasn't harsh with her but they didn't care. I don't know if the owner had an off day but he was rude when he finally came to talk to me. read more

Had to leave. The moth ball smell was so bad that my husband got a headache within minutes. We won't be back......

First let me say you will never find a kinder more community involved owner than Jimmy and his family. They have given so much of themselves to the town Peterborough. They have donated PPE to our first responders, and hospital staff. The food is always phenomenally delicious. The inside of the restaurant is immaculate. My family has always enjoyed excellent meals from Kogetsu. Thank you Jimmy and family! read more

Love the food, love the staff, Jimmy is a good dude. My girlfriend and I have been going there for years and it's by far the best sushi and sashimi around. The Miso soup is perfect for sick days and the seaweed salad is really good. Yelp makes you write a lot before you can give something 5 stars, huh. read more

Most locals here love Lee and Mt Fuji....I guess I will never quite be local. The location is gorgeous, in an old renovated boiler house. Windows look out on a waterfall and stream. All types of asian food available here, which is usually a warning sign. The chinese is just okay. Sushi is really dry, and the rice is wrong. Without it, the sushi just doesn't work. Unfortunately, there aren't really any competitors in the area, which explains its popularity. read more

When my wife asked for a container for our 5 year old's unfinished teriyaki stick she was berated by the staff. I can get "meh" Chinese food without the public humiliation from other establishments. Eat anywhere else in Peterborough, both food and service are sub-par. read more

I've eaten here a couple of times over the past few years. I have never been disappointed! A bunch of friends and I went after hiking Monadnock, around 230? It was quite empty. We sat next to the window so we could see the falls. I've always been impressed with how they renovated the place, very nice. Water came very fast. Their lunch specials were awesome! Entree type dish with white or brown rice, and soup was $7.95. I also got their Maki combination, two of a choice of maki rolls for I think $8 dollars. The sushi wasn't bad, but I have had better. I got the ginger scallion chicken...flavorful! Their portions also aren't all that huge...which is nice if you don't want to eat a lot or can't take it home. Stated in another review, it is definitely a place for locals. But a great place! : ) read more

Excellent sushi box! Really enjoyed the teriyaki salmon, crab rangoon, and Japanese-fried calamari. Prompt, excellent service. Nice view of the waterfall! We'll be back! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Kogetsu tonight. Not only is the food amazing, the waitstaff is incredible. They are kind, attentive and patient. I've been to the restaurant many times when it was Lee's Mount Fuji and I can say they were great then, and they are amazing now. Everything was nice and fresh! They even added a beautiful little bar for those swinging by quickly, or just looking for a cocktail and a comfortable place to sit while waiting for take out food. Excellent job! read more

We just moved to Peterborough and this restaurant came highly recommended by locals, so we checked it out last night. Compared to Ming Du restaurant in Hillsborough, Mt. Fuji (Update: apparently they changed their name to Kogetsu) was very disappointing. It was twice the price, half the food, and half the flavor of Ming Du. It was pretty average, and we're unsure why so many recommended it. We would rather drive all the way to Hillsborough and back to get twice the food, for half the price, that's at least twice as good, if not 3 times better. Two stars because it was palatable, but just.. mehh. Not impressed. read more

I have eaten here several times and have only had one horrible meal. The atmosphere can be uncomfortable because of the manager and their tea cups are cracked. Overall, the food is good but a little overpriced but the views make up for it. read more

My mother and I enjoy this restaurant immensely and I absolutely recommend it! There are few restaurants in the area similar, so I would definitely suggest giving it a try. The sushi is wonderfully made and the drinks are also made well. I recommend sitting outside or by a window because there is a very pleasant view of the water. The hostesses and servers are very welcoming and kind as well. So, please do not let the other reviews deter you...I worked at an extremely popular restaurant in D.C. that in fact just won a James Beard award so I would say I am a fairly good judge on restaurant quality. read more

My favorite Tom Yum soup anywhere and some unique sushi rolls. They also have generals fried tofu that also beats anywhere I have ever ordered it. They remember us every time we go in there, even if it has been months since our last visit. (we have moved away) I've never had a bad experience there and I love the building. I stop by whenever I am in the area. read more

I've eaten here often ever since they opened, and the quality of everything I've ordered is consistently good. One star reviews from people who pass through once strike me as hit-and-run... hardly fair, and who knows which restaurants they compare Kogetsu against? The lunch menu offers great value. I love the sushi - and generally order Black Dragon Roll. Their Spicy Tuna Roll is also quite popular. I also like their ginger chicken, 'lunch boxes' and chicken with cashews and broccoli. The staff is courteous and obliging. I don't care for the piped-in mainstream music, (which I subtract a star for) but that's secondary. Eating on the deck in good weather is a special treat - overlooking the waterfall, and no traffic noise. I've even seen a little blue heron at night... spotlit, along with the falls... quite special! read more

Great choice. Sushi was fresh and well prepared, the Thai and Chinese dishes were also quite good. Fast, friendly competent service, nice view of the falls. read more

Beautiful location and very tasty food. Especially worth a visit if you sit outside by the waterfall. Prices are reasonable, and the service tends to be good. The food does have a tendency toward inconsistency - some days it's amazing, others a little too chewy or something. As a vegetarian I'd definitely recommend the General Tso's Tofu. read more

I don't usually post reviews online (unless it's a negative one and I just feel like barking at the moon to get it off my chest). But after seeing a couple negative reviews about this restaurant, I felt like I had speak up and come to their defense. This place was recommended by a few friends, so I finally decided to give it a try last night. There were four of us in our party (me, my wife, and my wife's parents). When we walked through the door, the first thing I noticed was the ambiance. It was a nice, casual and slightly classy atmosphere. (first star) We were seated quickly and greeted by Jimmy (the owner) who asked us if we'd like a drink. He probably doesn't do that every time, but there were only a few other families in the restaurant and it was still pretty cool that he took the time to personally welcome us. Within a few minutes our drinks were at the table and our orders were being taken. (second star) Our food was served fairly quickly. Granted, if the place was more packed it probably would have taken longer, but they still get a star for efficiency. (third star) Also the presentation was pretty cool (radishes carved like roses on one plate and a carrot carved like a fish on another plate just added to the entertainment) The quality of the food was really good. I had general tso's chicken, which is my standard go-to for Chinese food. I don't remember what my wife or her parents had because after my second martini things started getting a little fuzzy. But I do remember everyone saying it was really good (fourth star) Also, I just finished my leftovers for breakfast this morning and it still tastes good. It was a little pricy, but not outrageously expensive. (for the record, I think Chinese food is always expensive which is why I don't eat it more often) Anyway, that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 solid stars. My final comment is that they were just closing by the time we left, and the entire staff was sitting down to eat. (I guess a free meal is one of the perks for working at a restaurant?) And I'm sure you'll agree, it's a good sign when the employees enjoy eating the same food they serve. read more

Stumbled across this place while stuck at Natures Classroom with my son. Absolutely incredible! A hidden gem for a very affordable lunch.

I'm a big fan of this place. It used to be Lee Mt Fuji version 2.0 The views of the falls are terrific and there is outdoor seating overlooking the Contoocook river. It's the best sushi in town (which isn't saying much) and the drinks are tasty. read more

Service was extremely slow and inconsistent. Servers never came around to see if we were happy or needed anything. We had to go find our own salt & pepper and ask for hot sauce one wanted multiple times. They were all pleasant enough, but servers didn't seem to know the menus well nor fully understand English. Food was randomly good/awful. We were a party of 4 couples, on NYE so it was very busy. We had reservations but weren't seated until 30 minutes late. My husband & I ordered appetizers as our meal since we couldn't get anyone to tell us what was on the pu pu for 2 platter and didn't want to chance it that we wouldn't like much of it as happens too often. Others in our party ordered individual dinner dishes and 2 couples also ordered pu pu for two, intended as appetizers. After a long wait, half of our appetizers (a single eggroll, chicken fingers, and teriyaki beef,(part of what we'd ordered for our dinner) came out first, about 45 minutes after finally being seated, along with our 2 salads, and the 2 soups others had ordered. That meant that 3 were eating but there was NOTHING ready for the other 5 people. No complimentary bread, tea, or anything -- There was NOTHING and the servers just wandered off without any explanation as to when the rest of the food would be served. Since it was our meal and NOT intended as an appetizer, we had to begin eating our chicken fingers, and tiny salads. Plus, there wasn't enough to share with everyone, given that it was our dinner and that there were only 6 chicken fingers in all. We finished it and then there was another 25 minutes with STILL nothing else served for anyone. Finally, after an hour & 15 minutes from seating, other meals began to come out piecemeal. Again, there were 4 eating, 4 watching. Then the pu pu platters that were supposed to be appetizers finally came out. Strangely, there were different amounts of items on each one. It looked yummy, but it was odd not being identical. Unfortunately, only one was hot, while the other was quite COLD. The cold one was sent back to reheat. Then the first individual dinner plate came out. Then the pu pu platter that was cold was returned. STILL ICE COLD. Sent back again. Then our other appetizers finally came out. Still no pu pu platter returned. Finally, a server returned with it again, IT WAS STILL COLD on the inside, but slightly warm on the outside. They were so angry that they just kept it and tried to warm it up in flames that came on the platter. No one was impressed by their soup as it wasn't hot. The pu pu platters were generous and looked tasty, but one being served cold ruined that. Part of one person's meal never came out and wound up being removed from the bill as 2 hours had passed since our arrival and she didn't want it anymore. Each time, we had to ASK where our food was. Service was TERRIBLE. It was like they were so discombobulated that they couldn't handle getting food cooked and out to tables on a timely basis. Who brings out food for 2 in a party of 8 and NOTHING for anyone else? Or brings out ice cold food three times? On the upside, we were quite pleased with the pork fried rice, but they have only one size and served spread out on a large platter, it got cold quickly. It was much better than what passes for Chinese food around here. (We've lived here for 18 years and know that most Chinese restaurants aren't very tasty and have substandard food compared to more urban areas we've lived). Their teriyaki beef was quite delicious, as are their chicken fingers and egg rolls. Others in our party said the fried shrimp and chicken wings were wonderful. The batter on everything is light and not excessive, which really matters. Their Crab Rangoon was tasty, overfilled, and crunchy, but perhaps too overfilled for my taste, although everyone else was delighted with them. Their green salad with ginger dressing was excellent, although it was pretty small of a serving. The egg rolls are better than average for this area. Our server was pleasant enough and did a great job of separating our bills for us upon our request at the beginning. The bills were correct. It was too crowded of an evening (NYE) to have options about seating, but the view of the waterfalls by the windows is outstanding if you're able to request it. Their food really is better than most Chinese options in the area, (which isn't saying that much given how awful most are around here), but their service when busy is seriously BAD and their kitchen is clueless about coordinating meals, which made for an extremely uncomfortable meal. If they could get their act together, they'd be really good. Until they do, I cannot give them more than 3 stars. read more

Good for Chinese food! The food was delicious! And they had a nice style. The staff was nice. The wait took a while even for appetizers, and they got some of our orders wrong. read more

All staff here are wonderful! The pad thai is tasty, along with the curry. I've tried various sushi rolls and especially like the dragon roll. The miso soup is the best I've ever had. The crab rangoon is so yummy and full of filling. Delicious drink offerings and great green tea ice cream. The best part of dining in is the view of the water. read more

The food is good here but I have been disappointed by the service the last couple of times. The waitress actually gave me "attitude" when I asked if they still had my favorite dish, which is no longer on the menu. I was the only diner in the place that night. I think that since Yen Yen just down the street has stepped up their game, they're worth a second look. read more

My husband and I frequent Lee and Mt. Fuji's quite often. I'm not sure what happened with the other reviewer but I have never had "dry sushi" there. The food and service has always been great and even if I wasn't a "local" I would travel to Lee and Mt. Fugi"s for dinner. read more

First, the food and tea were served lukewarm. Second, the white rice I had with my meal was terrible-and it is hard to mess up white rice. It tasted funny and did not taste fresh-it tasted old, maybe re-heated to lukewarm. Third, all three dishes served at our table i.e. mixed vegetables with beef, "happy family", and a vegetable stir fry were all served with the same, weird red sauce. The sauce was horrible; not like an authentic stir fry sauce made with soy sauce, etc. The dishes served at the table next to us also had the weird red sauce. I assume this sauce is from a bottle or can, and not freshly made. It appears that they just pour the sauce over everything on the menu. read more

New owners aren't 'new'. Same family, same dreadful food, same poor service. Only the name has changed.

We were excited to see what the new owners would do with this place. Our first try under new ownership was pretty good, although the wait was very long. We were patient seeing as how they were training new staff. One month later we tried again- within an hour of eating, the three of us were sick...and we didn't even eat the same food! We each ordered a different fish. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

I am surprised by the less than stellar reviews of this restaurant. I have been here many times and have always enjoyed not only the setting but the dishes as well. I know many locals who are regulars and nothing speaks more highly of a restaurant than faithful, local regulars. As I read the negative reviews I have to wonder about the motivation behind them. Perhaps some of the reviewers are used to low priced, fast Asian food and are not willing to pay for high quality cuisine or willing to wait the amount of time it takes to prepare these dishes. In looking at other review websites such as Google you will see a much higher rating. It is a shame that a few disgruntled folks are able to bring down the rating. I would recommend patronizing this establishment and reaching your own conclusion. I live in Maryland now but grew up in Peterborough and visit often. I make it a point to eat here and I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

The only thing worse than their sushi is their service. Seated with menus and ice water and never had service again. Had to ask someone to take our order and then, when the order was not even close to what I asked for, there was no one to tell because no one ever came back. When they brought the bill I pointed to my untouched plate, the waitress brought some guy over that argued that I was in the wrong. Really? Before you think "another demanding customer", let me tell you that I am the exact opposite. Have been a server and in hospitality for YEARS so I HATE to make their job any harder. Plus, I eat sushi 8-10 times a month and I know a spicy salmon roll is not salmon, rice, wrapped in seaweed w/ spicy sauce on top. Epic EPIC fail and these are just the highlights. Shame too because building and view are awesome. Note: signed up for Yelp specifically to warn others because I used Yelp reviews to choose this restaurant. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one! read more

New name, some new menu additions to the menu --all good. Not sure what people are ordering to give the reviews they have. The Sushi is delicious and I love the fresh roll (a special weekend menu item). Their Hot & Sour soup is one the best in the area. The service - is superb, very attentive group. The whole staff will make sure you have what you need. I will go back for the sushi again and again.....always fresh and tasty. read more

Holy crap! This place has nose dived.... from Pad Thai to General Tso... everything sucks. My wife and I would drive the 30mins happily to get take out and it was the best around. It has gone way down hill. I am a reasonable man... I can over look most mishaps. I get it, it gets busy and things get screwy... but the errors I have seen are too much. The last straw was when I ordered chicken... I got my chicken and as I started to eat it i noticed a strange taste... I kept going (because I was hungry) and noticed an entire shrimp. I poked around and found 3 more full shrimp in my CHICKEN... I do not have an allergic reaction to shell fish, but if I did, I would be dead or at least be hospitalized. I called the manager and he blamed it on it being too busy, I told him to get his shit together before someone is hurt. Unfortunately, my wife and I will no longer be getting food from this establishment as I am no longer confident that I will get quality food, let alone the correct species... too bad, they were once good. read more

I've had supermarket sushi that has more flavor than the sushi here. Came for take-out on New Years Eve 2 years ago & haven't been back since. Chinese food was just so-so & sushi was bland & tasteless. Won't be back. If you have a sushi craving, the sushi from Market Basket is Rindge is tastier! read more

The food is average to slightly above average, but expect to wait...HOURS. I called in at 7:08 for a take out order. The girl said 35 minutes. I didn't get my food until 8:33 and I wasn't the only one. the waiting area was filled with angry customers. EVERY person waited over an hour and 15 minutes for their food that they were told would take 35 minutes. Absolutely unacceptable. The dining room was basically dead. about 10 total people in there. Probably 5 or 6 take out customers. No manager or owner came down to apologize. This isn't the first time. We waited an excessively long time a few weeks back when we dined in as well. NEVER AGAIN WILL I WASTE MY TIME AT THIS $H!T HOLE. PLEASE I implore you to avoid this place. read more
