Koto Buffet - Placerville (CA)

1 /5 Douglas Judson: Outrageous experience to be honest. First time staying at the hotel, two nights, we decided to eat at the Koto buffet. Wasnt that packed, probably 60% capacity, but the buffet was 75% empty tins, all the customers standing around complaining about the lack of food. And it was 6:15 at night, not at closing. After complaining to the manager, sitting around for 45 minutes, and not seeing him do anything to rectify the problem, and being essentially forced to eat stuff we didnt want as thats all there was, we finally asked for our 25 dollars each back. In the meantime they were still allowing many customers in for little food. Ridiculous. Do better Koto. Your closed tommorrow, tuesday. Maybe hire, train more chefs so a buffet actually has ample food as advertised. It was a monday and not that busy. Not sure if I will ever trust them again for a good meal.

5 /5 Michael W.: Koto Buffet inside Red Hawk Casino is one of the best casino buffets in the Sacramento area. It opens every day except Tuesday at this time: lunch and dinner. The food is pretty good by buffet standards. The workers are very friendly and attentive. I love their dining room, especially with the window tables. The view is gorgeous. The dining room itself is clean and comfortable. All the food stations are well organized, and the yummy foods are well displayed.

4 /5 Daniel: The biggest advantage of this place is the all-you-can-eat lobster on weekends. This alone makes it highly score well for the price. Also, the ingredients feel like they are of better quality than those used at a standard local buffet. ​However, a buffet is still a buffet. The seafood, including the lobster, seems to have been heavily salted for a long time to hide its old quality. Therefore, the food is generally salty. ​The biggest downside, however, is the severe cigarette smoke, which is strong enough to cling to your clothes. I would not recommend taking children here. ​Also, the line is long on weekends. You should definitely make a reservation before you go. Even without a reservation, you will have to wait 20 to 30 minutes.

5 /5 1NonlySunshine: This is our favorite buffet hands down closest to Sacramento. It’s located inside Red Hawk Casino. We usually eat here especially during the holidays because of their menu. We enjoyed lobsters, snow crab legs, turkey, prime rib, beef short ribs, ahi poke, some desserts. Food is good and staff are always nice.

1 /5 Ana Rosa Stephens: The manager blonde lady was incredibly rude. She came to our table saying that our time was up and the table was already reserved for someone else, even though we were still eating, claiming that we had been there for more than the time . She made us move tables without finishing our food. My husband and I were regular customers of this buffet, we liked going there every month, but theyve lost a customer.
