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!
