Excellent food, both comes Chinese and Japanese. The sushi roll I got was fresh tasting and even their eggrolls, are excellent and come with a tasty dipping sauce. I recommend this small restaurant.
Always have a great meal at Kotobuki. The sushi is fresh and the hibachi is delicious. Great place for Asian food and a date night.
They have good sushi. I particularly liked their "Duval Jaguars" sushi that was tempura-fried with cream cheese and had sriracha sauce on the top. Very tasty.
The place is just the right size – not too big, not too small – making it perfect for an intimate lunch with friends or family. We were greeted warmly and seated right away upon entering. Here's what we ordered: Chicken Hibachi: I really appreciated that noodles were included – a definite plus. I thoroughly enjoyed this dish! Chicken Teriyaki: Flavorful, though I would have liked a bit more char on the chicken for extra texture. Shrimp Cucumber Rolls: Fresh and delicious! The crunch of the cucumber pairs perfectly with the shrimp and mayo, creating a delightful combination. We’ll definitely be back to support this wonderful family-owned business.
We loved everything about this place. It was quiet, clean, cozy, and had excellent service, fair prices, and delicious food. We look forward to dining here again. Another outstanding visit with the most gracious hosts and exquisite sushi. The sushi chef was very generous with his portions, and the boat for two was perfect for two people. This is our go-to spot while in town. You can tell the chef takes pride in his work; it's like an art piece.
I think this is some of the freshest sushi/sashimi I have ever had outside of Japan! Always sit at the sushi bar and have immediate service and great conversations with the chef! His wife is also very nice and a great cook!
Kotobuki deserves nothing less than 5 stars. If I could give them more I would! Chef Kevin is an amazing and humble sushi chef. Him and his family always incredibly nice and hospitable. Oh and sushi is delicious. We won’t go anywhere else. After our first few times going here and ordering the same thing, Chef Kevin memorized our order and would start preparing it as soon as we walked in. Now that’s what I call service. We highly recommend the Love Boat and Kotobuki to everyone!
Stopped by for a lunch. Clean, good lunch menu. The day before I ordered a delivery, that was at my home about 35 min later. Hibachi menu is really good. First time trying a fried cheesecake.
