The staff made the announcement of its closing in a social media post on Saturday afternoon, stating:

This decision was not an easy one, as this restaurant has been so much more than just a business—it’s been a place where memories were made, friendships grew, and we shared countless special moments with all of you, our cherished customers.

Within moments of the post going up on Koto’s Facebook pages, customers began pleading them to either open up somewhere else or share their recipes (multiple specifically asked how they made their salad dressing).

The staff went on to say:

We are deeply grateful for the love and support you’ve shown us over the years. It’s been an honor to serve this community, and we will always treasure the relationships we’ve built along the way.

They called the 17 years that the restaurant had been in business “unforgettable.”

While it’s sad that they’re closing, 17 years of business is no small feat. Thank you to the staff for almost two decades of great food.

With so many trends of the 1990's back in style, it's a great time to look back at a strong foundation of 80's and 90's culture — New Jersey mall shopping. Some stores were a highlight, every trip.
