The customer service at this restaurant is top-notch. They show their dedication through their delicious food and attentive service. As soon as we sat down, they brought us a complimentary spicy tuna miso soup. We also enjoyed the agedashi tofu, dragon roll, alaska roll, and uni. We paired our meal with some house wine and beer. The restaurant is quaint and charming, with festive holiday decorations adding to the cozy ambiance.

This place is a treasure. Food is great, staff are lovely. They go out of their way to make it a great experience

The food was excellent and reasonably priced. We left feeling full. Even my child, who normally does not like seafood, tried a raw shrimp and loved it.

I think this restaurant has the potential to improve greatly with a makeover. Although the interior decor is outdated, the atmosphere and vibe are attractive. The food was delicious overall, but the edamame was disappointing as it came out so cold I couldn't finish it. The service was exceptional. With a updated interior decor, this restaurant could become vibrant and possibly warrant higher prices. While my experience was satisfactory, there is definitely room for improvement.

The staff are incredible, in particular the sushi chefs, however my wife and I can confidently say, we have not found more fresh and delicious fish. We literally order 2 combination dinners (sushi sashimi) at least twice per week. I’m writing this review as I’m here choosing to wait(with an Asahi and edamame) for my to go order because of how much appreciation we both have for the quality of their food. There is love, precision, and such a fresh nature of all their fish that makes it absolutely a must. We don’t take photos of our to go (because we enjoy it so much) but here is my plate as I am waiting and a hibiscus flower from our yard. The flower is unrelated to this post other than hoping it boosts visibility to Kotobuki Jr
