" We had dinner at Kotobuki last weekend, and it was a delightful experience. The salmon sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of sake they offered. The decor is charming and authentic, really adding to the Japanese dining experience. Our server was attentive, but there were moments we felt overlooked, which is why I’ve given service a slightly lower rating. Overall, I would return without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)

" I typically don’t write reviews, but I had to share my experience at Kotobuki. As someone who has spent time in Japan, I was thrilled to find such an authentic spot in Connecticut! The sushi is always fresh, and the flavors remind me of home. The owners often come out to greet patrons, making it feel like a family establishment. Strongly recommend the uni if it’s available!
