KOTO HIBACHI EXPRESS – Japanese
Counter-serve Japanese on SW 35th Boulevard: order at the front, take a table, and hibachi and sushi arrive without the theatre or the wait. The board splits between sushi and hibachi, sushi and sashimi, and a dumplings-and-katsu corner, with fried rice doing the heavy lifting underneath. Diners keep landing on the same two points — how fresh the fish reads at the price, and how far the portions go. Fast-casual in format, not in what reaches the plate. A dependable Gainesville lunch that works just as well at nine at night.
