Customer Reviews
Really friendly staff, clean open restaurant with unique seating. Sushi wasn't anything to write home about, enjoyable and filling.
This was my first visit to Kotobuki and I was very pleased with my restaurant choice. The food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere, cleanliness and service were exceptional. The most notable aspect of this restaurant is the considerable amount of vegan choices and menu variety. There is something for every member of your party. I was glad I arrived early for dinner because the restaurant filled up quickly. I will definitely go back.
IF I COULD GIVE NO Stars I would. Worst dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. We called ahead and were told the dinner rush was from 6–7 p.m., so we arrived at 5:30 to avoid the crowd. The moment we walked in, a waitress yelled across the restaurant from the back asking how many were in our party instead of greeting us like normal customers. It was loud, awkward, and completely unprofessional. Although we were seated quickly, that was the only thing that went smoothly. The waitress dropped menus on the table and walked away without offering drinks or even acknowledging us. Meanwhile, couples who were seated after us were greeted properly, had their drink orders taken immediately, and even placed their food orders while we were still sitting there without water. We had to flag dow
I think one of the best sushi place in norfolk. I can say the chef knows how to make sushi which is very rare around here. He knows how to cook rice and put a proper quantity of rice. He uses fresh sashimi as well. Here is first impressive sushi place in Norfolk. Service is good enough. Waitress is very kind. Atmosphere is that I felt like I was jn Japan. I wil definitely visit here again !!!!
Sushi was okay, I wouldn't have left a review like this if it wasn't for the blatant disrespect the employee had for her mother that was both visible and audible for the entire restaurant to witness. That alone makes me not want to come back. Do better please.
