"For a lot of knowledgeable drinkers in New York, Goto has become the go-to." -Esquire

"If you've never been to Tokyo and wondered what all the fuss is about when it comes to the bars, Bar Goto is a perfect introduction. The hospitality is honest, the lighting makes everyone look good, and the drinks are simple and made with exacting technique. If that wasn’t enough, the bar food is transporting as well. When we have people we really, really like visiting us in New York, this is where we take them."  -Bon Appétit

" ... Goto's Sakura Martini is an undisputed classic of the modern cocktail scene, one of the few drinks invented in New York in this century that has a good chance of lasting into the next." -The New York Times
