Kotobuki - New York

Great place. The atmosphere is great, food is very good and the service is good. Also the prices are very reasonable. Only thing is they add a 20% tip to the bill, calculated after tax, which is way too much. But they were kind enough to remove it and let me add whatever tip I wanted.

Kotobuki is one of the, if not the, best moderately priced sushi restaurants in Manhattan. Always high quality food no matter if you eat inside or get carry out.If you eat inside, the food is very prompt and the restaurant itself is relatively loud. Would not recommend as a date spot unless you already know the person well. Better for a group of friends. Always a decent amount of college kids given the price point.Highly recommend the spicy tuna pizza and getting one of the sushi combos (ie Sushi for one, two, three, four that is truly the best value)I love a dragon roll, but their dragon roll is not ideal. Way too big of bites

I absolutely loved this place. It was delicious and the service was fast and on point. The decor is tradition which is lovely. As soon as I sat down they gave me a complimentary little cold noodle sample. It was delish. I ordered the spicy tuna sandwich which was delicious. The hole in one roll which was fantastic with the scallop on the top and the yellow tail of sashimi is fantastic. The portions were all pretty big and the pricing is even better! Will definitely be coming back to try more of their fun rolls!!

This place is sooooo good! Every roll we got was super fresh. Especially loved the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer and all the speciality rolls were amazing.

I was quite disappointed in my overall experience at Kotobuki. Went here for a date night. The ambience is really dim here so it makes for a nice romantic environment yet at the same time it's very relaxed and casual.It's really affordable for sushi standards of what you can get however the quality just wasn't up to par in comparison to the many sushi places I've visited. Some of the rolls the fish was warm which was a bad sign. I thought everything was just ok. The best dish was the crispy rice with the spicy tuna. However all my other dishes were very mid and unimpressive.However the service was niceFor me it's a one and done place don't think I will be back.3/5 stars
