One of the best sushi spot in the bay. The food just feels and tastes fresh. Portions are nice and flavors are there. The sashimi is amazing, the specialty rolls are all really well done. You can tell they care about their craft. Ive had delivery and the food is still amazing. You know delivery sometimes reduces the quality of the food.

Been going to Kotobuki since it was on Piedmont Ave. The food is always good and reliable. We like the restaurant because its good for families and are able to accommodate our family dinners of 8.

Really enjoyed takeout from Kotobuki last night, definitely a new go-to for Japanese food! Could taste the craft and care they put into the dishes - quality ingredients prepared skillfully, it was delicious. Got a mix of staples - kaarage, tempura, maki, nigiri, and everything was delicious. Highlight was the Montclair roll - unique and soooo good!

This was my sushi place for many years. I was out of town and decided to go back.
It was an awful experience!!
Will never go back again !!

Very good first experience! Sashimi set for two was of excellent quality and variety, add-ons like amaebi took the dinner to another level. Rice accompanying the sashimi was regular medium grain rather than seasoned sushi rice, but a relatively small miss when the seafood is the star!

Had dinner here on several occasions and the quality of both food and services has been constantly 10/10. Also with very reasonable price on their fish and kitchen options this place

Found this place a few months back and loved it. Unfortunately last number of times the service has been awful. Once I had to walk up to the waiter 3 times to get their attention. They are too busy with pickup orders

Kotobuki is not authentic Japanese food. One of the taller female servers is inpatient and start to clean up in 30 minutes we set. Living in Montclair village for close to 20 years, this experience is one of the worst. Do not try if you can tell the difference in Japanese food.

I take-out here once a week and the staff is amazing. My family’s orders are always correct and the food is consistently delicious. I’ve been coming here for over 5 years and I still look forward to weekly sushi night from Kotobuki.

This place is amazing. Some of the best Japanese food around. Favorite dishes: karage, blue Hawaii, and the caterpillar rolll. I'm definitely interested in trying their vegetable tempura. I kept seeing people order it, and it looks special.
