Absolutely loved this spot. Called about 20 mins before arrival to ask if we needed reservations and they said no there's lots of tables. By the time we arrived there around 6:30, we got the last table available. So just a warning, it fills up quick! The restaurant is cute and very well decorated. We were on a time constraint so we got right to business. I had the spicy tuna over crispy rice- amazing, the Gold Coast roll and the holy tuna roll. Everything was absolutely fantastic. To be quite honest I don't remember the two rolls my hubby got, but he really enjoyed them as well. Can't wait to come back and try other rolls!

Food was good. Service was meh. Had to run down our server quite a bit. Food took a while to come out and actually one of the rolls was made wrong because it was missing white tuna. I honestly think the staff are stretched a bit too thin.

I love Kotobuki! Sushi is the best on Long Island. The staff is always great and you can always expect a great experience. The restaurant gets really busy on the weekends, so plan on waiting. The noodles they bring out with hot towels at the beginning are the best!! I love the variety of fish they have too.

Kotobuki is by far our favorite sushi spot on Long Island! We have tried close to every roll and the tasty boy is most definitely my favorite. Other amazing choices are the Gold Coast, hole in one, or crazy salmon. Everything that comes from this place is incredible in its own way. If you want a spot for dinner get there close to opening time there's always a line!

Updating my review to add more pictures. The sushi is so fresh and the rolls are a good size. Long wait times for dine in, take out and delivery but it's worth it. Quality, flavor and freshness can't be beat.

This restaurant lives up to its name with congratulations and longevity. The fish is so fresh that it melts in your mouth. Every dish is cooked just right without anything to complain about. Try the bento box, sashimi or omakase, and unadorned at lunch. Their prices are reasonable for the quality of the ingredients and well they cook everything. To top it off, service is helpful, friendly, and fast. Parking is ample in the lot and there are stores in the strip mall to hang around if there is a line. We'll be back for sure given it's so hard to find a place this yummy at a deal too!

I consider myself a long time loyalist to the Kotobuki game. I frequent the one in Babylon a ton, love the one in Roslyn, and now most recently this location. I do love love love the sushi and sashimi for one but since coming to this location... I have a meeting found love for beef and chicken negimaki and the carnival roll.. ordered the chicken negimaki for the first time the other night and I was actually surprised how good it was.. chicken was perfect not dry or overdone .. great splitting app I feel since it comes individually rolled up; really a nice bite.. The carnival roll was so good also tuna interior with salmon and pickled onions on top.. I forget what else is in it; def can see this being one of my new faves. More of Laura's top picks include their salmon or tuna crudo (in oil with lemon and onions, salt, amazing), Chilean sea bass, and of course, the carpaccio. I'm for sure a die hard salmon lover, so that is always my first choice but the tuna is just as amazing. For sure get their bonsai ! It's plum wine mixed with sake mmmm! They continue on just like the others with their no reservations policy... first come, first served basis, you can call ahead to gauge time but make moves after your call bc they def can get a lengthy wait list.
