Kogetsu at the Boiler House in Peterborough

Excellent food, and you can t beat that waterfall view!

Amazing food and drinks. Worth the drive. Can be popular at night. Make reservations if necessary.

Absolutely not good

Ive tried to avoid leaving a review for this place (my mother always told me, if you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all) but this is the 3rd time in the past 4-5 months that my order upon pick up, after getting home is COMPLETELY wrong! Not to mention the insanely high price of each individual order/meal. Spent 50$ for one appetizer one order of low mein and one order of a chefs special and the appetizer and low mein were missing, replaced with two vegetarian orders I assume someone else was supposed to get. I wont be wasting my money here on something someone else ordered ever again. 1.5 outta 10 (what did I get category is other, because it wasnt what I ordered. On several occasions)

Good variety and flavors. Plastic dividers are gone. The servers are great but tonight the one non Asian person who brought us our check was almost rude in not thanking us and kind of dropping the bill on the table. Not what I normally expect from them.

I know people who eat Chinese food frequently all throughout New England, New York, New Jersey, etc. I ve taken them to this place and they agree it s hands-down the best. For something authentic, try the Malaysia Da ku te. Everything is good though. -Monday Noodle Guy

Jimmy and Linda run a wonderful family business. Service is quick, food is made fresh. MaiTai are yummy! Vegetarian options: My daughter is a vegetarian and love all The options! Dietary restrictions: Kitchen will Make what you want.

Delightful food and staff.

The best general tsao chicken Ive ever had!

the best maki rolls I ve found since moving here 2 years ago.

Best sushi Ive ever had, in NY, Boston, NH, or anywhere else. Owner cares a lot about sourcing of fish, seasonality, etc. Such creative preparation and fusion recipes. Service is awesome. Location is beautiful on the river, with Herons and other wildlife. My favorite restaurant in the country, no joke. Parking: Plenty of parking

The general tsos chicken and crab Rangoon are off the chart amazing. Great view of a waterfall by the old mill.

The last two times I tried to order food I can not even place an order. It just goes to voicemail. This seems to be a ongoing issue since its been like this for quite a while now. No answer after 10 calls

Lovely place

They make that is VERY GOOD.

Nice place and area to walk dogs Nice Sushi Food

We came here a second time for a birthday celebration. Both times were great. Quality food , friendly stuff and beautiful location with water falls in the window. Well be back

Continuously delightful staff and good food.

Weirdly one of the best places for sushi in New England is in the middle of New Hampshire.

Unfortunately, this once great restaurant has really gone downhill. We have been eating here for years, but the food the last several times has been extremely poor. The meat dishes have been tough, and the worst part is the food is bland. The flavor has not been up to baseline standards, its surprisingly bad. Not sure if they changed chefs or recipes, but the food has become a major disappointment, especially for the price. We wont be back, and I recommend you seek out other asian cuisine.

I made a list of all of the issues as they came because there were SO MANY Asked us if we had reservations and then walked away when I said I didn t Waited for miso soup until I asked 15 minutes later. Almost gave wrong sushi to us. The table next to us had their order wrong. Food came while eating soup. Sushi same time as food. Server never cleared old plates and couldn t find a place to put the check. The view by the water was cute and the food was good, but the service was AWFUL.

Verry good

Wonderful scenery, great food, & superb service. The sushi is amazing!

Was staying at an air bnb in the building and had just gotten engaged so we decided to have dinner. They sat us at a table in front of the falls- it felt like fate. The oysters were AMAZING! What a special dinner- thank you Kogetsu!

Our meals were absolutely delicious and the view of the waterfall was delightful! Service is always impeccable Food

Great location. Service was great but unfortunately when walking in I did get hit with an over powering smell of fish. Like walking into a fish market I felt. The sushi could have been rolled a little tighter but was otherwise delicious. Drinks were great and the views spectacular. Parking: Parking is not convenient if you have problems walking.

Great food and eating in is beautiful with the dam right next to the dining room

Beautiful location, good service, fantastic food. I highly recommend the kogetsu roll. Best sushi roll Ive ever had. The kung pao chicken was good as well. Definitely will be back. Parking: Limited parking. May have to walk a bit.

Hidden gem of Peterborough. Great food, service, and atmosphere

We ordered this for lunch at work. I have never been so sick in my life. Rapid vomiting and explosive diarrhea, was so terrible I had to go to the Emergency Room I couldn t keep anything down, including water. 24 hours later and I m still hurting terribly, Will never be eating here again. And before anyone says how can I be sure it was this, this was the only thing I had that day that was not frozen.

Great place

Authentic Asian Cuisine Triple Yum score!! Food

Wow! Such the beautiful place to eat. Awesom view of water coming over the dam makes for peaceful ambiance. Food is excellent and reasonably priced.

The best service and food. Dietary restrictions: Were accommodating with dietary requirements. Food : 5/5 |

Awesome dinner during holidays! Beautiful location Parking: Easy to pass as it s set down by a river Food : 5/5 |

Been coming here for years great food, great prices, great view, short wait time, staff is great took something off the bill because it was under cooked. Overall 10 out of 10

Excellent food and wonderful views of the river.

The food here was so good my soul ascended to god and I spiritually high fived him.

Best place for Asian cuisine in the area. They have a large selection of sushi and Japanese favorites as well as a few Thai plates. The service is good and the atmosphere is really nice, especially if you have a view of the falls.

Four star food, four star service, four star drinks (good but pricey), four star atmosphere. So close. I really wanted this to be a five star meal, but overcooked chicken, and a so-so decor just wouldnt let it happen.

A step above your average Chinese food place. A little higher priced than others, but its still worth it.

Thought I would update my review. Still a favorite spot for Japanese and Chinese cuisine! Great date night.

Our favorite place for Asian food. The lunchboxes and fried rices are excellent. Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, and good prices. Thank you !

This place is amazing, Ive been coming here for quite some time and always thought the food was really good. I recently chatted with the owner and realized everything is from scratch. That explains why everything is so delicious. The main reason I had been coming here was in the summertime they have an incredible patio that overlooks a waterfall. Whenever I had company visiting from out of town I would take them here and they were always impressed. Sushi is a must have. Highly recommend this place

Prices are high but its worth it. The food and service are very good! If the prices were a little bit better or portions were larger then I would give five stars. The staff deserve six stars. Good drinks too!

First visit after just moving here. Lovely atmosphere and very happy with our meals and cocktails. Seating outside is limited, but wonderful.

Great dinner combos and appetizers.

I hate leaving bad reviews, especially for restaurants, as weve both worked in the industry and we get it. However, weve tried SO hard to like this place. Its the only Chinese place in the area, so its the only option if its what youre craving. Every single time, weve been disappointed. Last night was the last straw. We got takeout, and decided to try and see if maybe their Thai was better than the Chinese. The pad thai was a congealed whitish grey mass, with no flavor whatsoever (I wouldnt quite say this is better than bad flavor, because the look of it was incredibly unappetizing) - not a vegetable or sauce in sight. Just a big clump of way overcooked noodles with some stale peanuts sprinkled on top, in an epic display of laziness and carelessness. I have honestly never been served worse food in my life. Its obvious they do not care about the food theyre making, and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

Food, service, atmosphere, and prices have always been great here. My favorite Chinese restaurant.

Good food and lots of variety and get good view

Great sushi and sashimi! Prices are right, service is fantastic!!! The ice water refilling ninja action is impressive and super appreciated in the summer!

Excellent good and service, beautiful location

Excellent service. The vegetables were fresh and well prepared. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful waterfall. Very memorable and unique.

Based on the reviews I was expecting great things, but was extremely let down by this restaurant. Our server appeared annoyed and lacked interpersonal skills. That aside, the food was no better. Pork friend rice was white rice with a slash of soy? No meat, no vegetables, and overcooked. We also got a poopoo platter, and it was greasy and subpar. For what we paid, it will be our first and last time there.

Came from out of state for a weekend with family, was referred to this place for dinner. Waitress was very pleasant thank god for that. You will see why I said that as you continue to read. The food was not so great most everyone in my party had issues with the food. One meal had absolutely no flavor but extremely spicy it couldn t be eaten, when we told the manager she seemed to blame our waitress which was not her fault, not professional to do in front of customers. if you ask me it s the cooks fault. One of my family members ordered the boneless ribs they were over cooked ugh! the noodles that come as complimentary duck sauce was very sweet. Again ugh! Needless to say we ll never be back. the dish that was too spicy was replaced, though I m sure the manager wasn t happy about that she did correct it. The atmosphere was stunning, they have a large window in the dinning area with a most beautiful waterfall. I will say they were very kind as far as being handicapped accessible.

The nicest restaurant in Peterborough. Amazing waterfall view from the dining room and amazing food. Fresh seafood and delicious mixed drinks. Great for any occasion. Extremely friendly staff and great service.

Great sushi and dumplings

Beautiful environment with good Sushi Menu. service was great, fast and courthouse. The beef bento box needs some work, but overall the meal was fantastic.

Small but mighty! My two favorite cuisines under one roof makes for an epic decision on which one to eat when I come . Japanese.....or Thai Today I did the latter. Pad Thai with shrimp Also, those spicy dumplings with peanut sauce............OUTSTANDING! Ive been here before, but I guess I hadnt reviewed it yet

I got the wonton soup to go on Thursday as something to go. I can t speak on anything else but the soup was terrible. The broth was a weird chicken broth that had ZERO flavor and I ve had broth cubes that did better. It had dumplings in it that were ok but definitely frozen. There was no way I was going to add the fried wontons to make that flavorless broth greasy. TERRIBLE

Great food. One of my friends loves the sushi with Wasabi. Prices are what you get used to in NH.

I am not sure what kind of restaurant this is. they have sushi/rolls, they had some Thai food, some Indian curry, Singaporean food, and Chinese food. it was just a mix of what seemed to be anything Asian. We are traveling and stuck with something safe (bowl of Udon noodles, chicken teriyaki, and sushi rolls) The Udon noodles wasn t bad and normally my son would devour a bowl. he didn t really want to finish it. it was probably the best part of our meal. Normally i would love the chicken teriyaki but they make it with sliced boiled white meat and it was very dry. Traditionally teriyaki chicken with is served on a bowl of rice but this was served like a Chinese dish with boiled broccoli around the dish. it didnt really have the Japanese style of grilled chicken served on top of rice. it didn t even taste like tradition teriyaki chicken. it was more like Chinese style steamed chicken. The sushi rolls were probably the closest representation of Japanese style food. it tasted like a sushi roll should taste but it was swimming in teriyaki sauce; and I do mean swimming. it should be a hint of teriyaki sauce squirted on with a squeeze bottle not poured on with spoonfuls of sauce. it was drowning in the sauce sauce; to the point where we were wiping the sauce off on the plate it was served on. it was disappointing because i really had my heart set on a nice Japanese meal. Japanese style food should be delicate; less is more (especially when applying sauce) Kogetsu boiler house needs to focus on one style of Asian food and not cater to all asian foods because it falls short to any authentic asian style food. if you want to focus in Japanese food then make it look and taste like Japanese food (don t confuse it by serving it with Chinese boiled broccoli around it). if you want to make Chinese food then make Chinese food. At the end of the day, we felt like we were eating for sustenance and not really eating for the dining experience. Would i go back again? No. Once was enough. I live in Asia and get great Asian food all the time. this was well an interesting experience. I have never really been to a one-stop asian restaurant inter-mixing the the cuisines of Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Singaporean and whatever else; it was a disaster as all those styles are so different.

Im not 100% sure how I feel about this place. The sushi was much better than I expected to find in Peterborough New Hampshire, but not amazing. The hot and sour soup was above average. The pad thai was bland and just ok, the lamb curry was quite good. The service was ok, except that the place was full of employees milling around and socializing in the dining room, which I find off-putting. It makes me feel like Im paying more than I should for the food if they have people on the clock flirting and looking at their phones.

Some of the best food I ve ever had, across a lot of different countries and cuisines. These guys hit it out of the park for everything we ordered: succulent pork bao buns, scrumptious maki, delectable masamann curry, and delicious curry chicken puffs.

The egg drop soup lacked a good chicken stock flavor. The fried rice that accompanied the entree was also extremely bland and disappointing. The chicken and onion entree was delicious!

Great crab rangoon

Fantastic

Excellent food reasonably priced friendly staff is friendly staff good drinks also

Very delicious food

We are new to area, so far this is the best asian takeout food weve found. However we were told food would be ready in 30 minutes took more like 50 to 60 minutes.

Great food at a good price.

The food is fantastic, but they never answer their phone so I can never order from them. will get 5 stars once you start answering your phone.

Palatable, no one got sick, appetizers werent that great and Ive had much better sushi.

Hidden jem, located in restored boiler building in front of a waterfall. Tables are very clean, large Covid dividers and view of the waterfall. Then the food- sushi, steamed baskets, sashimi, Great presentation and excellent flavors at good price. $41 for my wife and I.

Good food and great prices

Such a nice little restaurant. The food is great, the drinks are good, and best of all its very reasonably priced!

The service is always fantastic, the food is always perfect! The ginger chicken is my favorite, but everything is delicious! The restaurant is clean and covid precautions are carefully observed. Voted best sushi in NH! Its beautiful and tastes so good

Delicious variety of meals and drinks and clean/spacious seating.

We got sushi tonight for take out and it was great sushi but we noticed not alot of wasabi and no fortune cookies at all. ( which I love )

We dined in for my sons 15th birthday. Excellent food and beautiful view of the falls. Worth every penny!

Awesome place. Great atmosphere and food

Best sushi around.

Beautiful ambiance for the price point, I was a bit awe struck as we were seated because the view and natural lighting are really lovely. We arrived before lunch and scored a table right by the windows. Service was prompt and courteous and water refills were on point. My party shared an assortment of sashimi and maki and everything was excellent in taste, freshness, and quality. Nice attention to detail with presentation. Check for party of 3 was about $100 + tip which is the average we spend on a sushi dinner, the menu had enough options for us at various price points. I left very satisfied and look forward to returning and enjoying Kogetsus lovely atmosphere again soon.

Amazing sushi. Great atmosphere. The owners are fantastic and care so much about our local community

Good food, good service, great spot. As others have noted, the dining part of the experience can be a little hit-or-miss I was annoyed that my server never asked if I wanted a second drink but the overall atmosphere and view makes up for a lot.

Very clean, friendly staff, good food, pleasant surroundings.

The view of the water was beautiful and the food was delicious. Just went for a light lunch and it was perfect.

Mediocre pan Asian restaurant overlooking a mill spillway. Sushi was presented well, but not worth the price. Average dishes. I think the location and nice dining room are its big draw

Good food and good outdoor eating

Have always loved Kogetsu. Its a family tradition to eat here. Cant beat the quality

Vegetarian options: Lots of options Parking: Plenty of parking

The kalimari appetizer was one of the best I have ever eaten. Perfectly done.

Brought my friends here, we thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks. We ordered a variety of dishes, sushi, beef, chicken, curry, etc, loved it all!

The restaurant is on the 2nd floor. The food was excellent. Prices were reasonable. As you walk in you see a wide window featuring a beautiful waterfall. The waitress that had our table of 8 was very attentive. We will be going back. Parking: Parking is in front of the restaurant.

Great food

I visit the boiler house frequently and I am yet to have a bad experience. Service and food is always great!

we met up with family and friends and had a blast !

Wonderful dining experience at a table with views of a waterfall. Everybody enjoyed their meal. Our server was patient and helpful. Food was brought promptly and served hot. Kid friendly. Outside dining on a deck with falls view available. Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian choices available. Parking: Easy parking. Kid-friendliness: Many options and appetizers for kids.

The food was FANTASTIC. We had a large party and they accommodated us in a very timely manner. The drinks were perfectly mixed and the food was amazingly succulent. The view of the river adds so much to the atmosphere a truly surprising delight! 10/10 I would come again if Im back in the state. Parking: Most parking is at the top of the hill. So plan according if you have multiple cars on the way.

The food and service is consistently very good. Its a favorite we always return to.

First time my experience was so so. I tried them again and was pleasantly surprised. Love the Kogetsu Sushi Roll! Food

Best Chinese food in the area, glad you were able to keep going!

Amazing food really quick easy for lunch break or just a quick meal never had any issues with anything

Delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere.

The sushi is top notch! Id recommend the Boiler Roll, the Marlborough Roll, and a scorpion bowl.

Nothing is the same since Covid 19. Freshness, take out.

I truly dont have any idea what star rating to give these guys, so Ill give them the benefit. The building is great, and looks cool outside and inside. There are multiple levels inside and its not a boring space. Everything appeared clean, including the restroom. The view of the small falls behind the building was great, especially with all the ice. Being that were still in the midst of the Coronapocalypse, there was plenty of COVID theatre to satisfy those that are into that sort of thing, with partitions, spaced out tables and of course face diapers. Service was also great. The young guy that took care of us was polite, and attentive. Although, I believe we were the only party in there, so I cant comment on service during peak times. Looking at the menu, I thought the sushi prices seemed a bit steep, but not enough to deter me from ordering a roll. I typically get salmon, but I didnt see an option with just salmon so I went with tuna. When it arrived, the pricing made sense. I dont think Ive had a roll with that much meat in and on it before. There was tuna rolled in the roll, and at least as much then laid on top. And it was good. Flavors were very good along with the construction. I would absolutely get that roll again. My friend ordered soup and an entree, I ordered the roll and an entree. I was hoping the roll would come out with his soup. Instead, my friend got his soup, we got our entrees and then at the end I got my roll. I will take some responsibility for this, though, since I didnt specify what we wanted when. For an entree, I ordered chicken lo mein. I wasnt certain how hungry Id be after the roll (at least as I envisioned the order of things) and didnt want to feel bad about only finishing half of something. Typically, lo mein is pretty hard to mess up. I wont say they did so, but it was pretty uninspired. There wasnt a bunch of flavor, and there were minimal vegetables in it to go with the noodles and fairly small amount of chicken. It wasnt bad, but it also wasnt worth ten dollars. Ive truthfully had better lo mein at store front Chinese restaurants. They say that you can judge a Chinese restaurant on its chili oil. Fortunately for these guys, Im not going to do that. I usually get a small side of the oil with any noodle dish for extra flavor. Except in this case, there wasnt much. Im not sure what was going on as there was a ton of crushed chilis in there. It didnt have any kick to it. Perhaps they dont make it in house. If thats the case, that would confirm my assessment of Kogetsu. My assessment is as follows: Much like I took responsibility for the order of food arriving, I need to take responsibility for my experience with my entree. I didnt research this place, and I didnt take the time to get a proper read on it while I was there. I assumed that, much like one of my favorite places back home, Kogetsu was a Chinese spot that offered sushi. What I see it as now is a Japanese restaurant that offers some Chinese dishes. Approach with that in mind and I think youll enjoy your experience there.

This place has awesome sushi and the staff is very friendly. Nice place to eat. And very covid responsible

We go all the time. Food is always fresh and yummy. Nice family-run restaurant. Don t hesitate to try it!

Very good sushi. I would recommend it to a friend.

Very good

Went for the first time tonight, service was great, prices were reasonable, food was superb, will be going again

Best place for lunch by a dam site

This is a Peterborough favorite! Thanks for delicious food and great service.

Expensive but delicious food and drinks.

Love it! Food and drinks are great. Neat old building over looking the falls and river.

Thank you for the Amazing Sushi!

Great food, awesome service, full bar. The place is built in an old mill, the dam provides a great waterfall view. Small town owner, operated pride. I come here every time Im in Peterborough. Enjoy!

Fantastic food, personable staff, and great chat with owner. Would give 10 stars if I could.

Just some of the delicious food we ordered. My husband also had sushi and it was phenomenal. We were impressed with everything. There is also a cute view of a small waterfall. Great setting, amazing food, attentive service.

Very yummy!!

We got sushi. It took too long and came as a mess. Most unappetizing Boston roll Ive ever had. Wouldve really appreciated some consideration for the time and trouble as spending 70+ for a meal like that is utterly disappointing. Edit: we were explicitly told 40-45 minutes and waited over half an hour on top of that. The food was in fact not good despite whatever classification of sushi roll the reply below wants to bicker about. Its extremely frustrating getting a response like that after an overpriced and substandard dinner like that.

Absolutely delicious. Beautiful view outside and very nice patio. Being so near the water it was a bit buggy but thats to be expected. Everything we tasted was delicious. The sushi was very well prepared and great quality. The scallion pancakes were phenomenal we will order it every time we visit. We loved it so much we went back two days in a row!

Beautiful setting and Good food good drinks... I will definitely go back again.

A surprising spot. Wed passed by many times and finally stopped in. Their menu is kind of all over the map but the food was very good. Service was on point and the atmosphere is great. Well be back!

Amazing food and drink selection.

Good food, but not hot enough.

Best Birthday Sushi around!

Weve been coming here pretty regularly for the last 5 years and the food and service has always been wonderful. That being said, the last few times we ordered take-out, weve been told there was a wait for sushi anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and 45 minutes. Then, when we did receive it, the tuna (which I order every time) was most definitely old or left out for too long. Very disappointing to see the quality declining. The rest of the food is very good but I hope to see perhaps more staff capable of keeping up with the sushi orders and the quality of the ingredients improved.

A little disappointed. The food was not as good as I expected from what I had read online. It was average Asian style food, nothing special. My dish was very dark colored, which usually Chinese dishes look a little nicer.

Hands down the best Japanese and Chinese food around. I love that I can try new things each time and Im never disappointed.

The best thing about Kogetsu is its location. They have an outdoor deck that overlooks a dam. The wasabi shumai was very good and the baby octopus is excellent. I wasnt thrilled with the walnut shrimp, we enjoyed the Hawaiian duck more.

2021: kogetsu has a nice patio with tables, inside tables are separated by plexiglass dividers, wait stuff wore masks - good for pandemic dining. The appetizer were very good. The baby octopus was particularly memorable. Shrimp with walnuts and honey and Hawaiian duck were both decent. We ordered soup, appetizers, and main entry and waited for a very long time until everything arrived at once. By the time we finished soup and appetizers, the main enters were cold. I wish the different courses were staged and not delivered at the same me time. The service was friendly but slow. Response to the owner follow up: Thank you for response. I understand about the shortage of employees and everything being cooked to order. But there is no reason why the soup could not have been served faster first, appetizer a little later, and then the main entree. Please consider spacing between courses, it makes for a better experience for the diners, and maybe even easier to handle for you. 2016:Pond with lilies, waterfall, beautiful old mill.. It should have been so good... But it was not! Chicken was dry, shrimp tempura had a funky flavor, fresh rolls were sloppy, peanut sauce was a lump. I did like the sushi, it tasted fresh. Overall, we were disappointed.

Great food fast and friendly service. The food was prepared and presented nicely on the table. Sorry no pictures I ate it all.

Excellent Food and great waitstaff!

Consistantly one of the best restaurants. Very polite staff. Food is almost always excellent, both off the Chinese & Japanese menus. Great scenery and layout. Very highly recommended.

Great food and ambiane. What until you see the waterfall! Best outdoor eating in the area.

NO dogs allowed anywhere, not even outdoors on the patio like the rest of the world. Live Free or Die!

Everything we had was excellent and the staff was so nice! We cant wait to go back!

There wasnt nearly enough food for the price we paid. Literally a half of servings that we would get elsewhere for the same amount of money.

The food was excellent as was the service. Great menu selection. Very pretty looking out on a waterfall. They also have an outdoor patio for dining. It is worth the ride.

Terrible takeout experience, twice. The food was approaching 30 minutes late each time. I understand that theyre understaffed, but the employees did nothing to help. The host (first time) and hostess (second time) just disappeared from the front desk for almost the entire time I was waiting. The second time I got fed up and walked upstairs. I found her eating dinner with other employees, instead of expending a bit of effort to give me an update on my order. I should mention that both times I arrived around 30 minutes before closing, and they were not at all busy. Their food is great but clearly their employees dont prioritize their customers.

We came here for the views, but the food and service was excellent as well. Will come back next time when were in the area.

Good food and good service.

Food, service, price, quality, ambiance were all excellent.

Quality food in a beautiful building

Love this Sushi Joint! Fresh Fish! Amazing Chinese food! Great staff that want to cater to you. 5 Stars all day!

Outdoor patio has a great view, the inside is very cool looking. Food was fantastic and priced well. Would eat there again.

Really enjoyed our meal on the patio. Food was excellent, service good, and a very nice spot. Prices very reasonable as well. We would definitely return when in the area.

Best Japanese food!

Since the restaurant changed owners the prices have gone up and the quality has gone down even faster. Returned my food last time.

Everything was fantastic! Thank you for a wonderful evening! We will be back! <3

Great coctails!!
