“This outstanding japanese restaurant in Rye is always busy due to the delicious sushi and wonderful staff. Reservations are a must. The seafood is very fresh and presented with attention to detail. It's as though I ate dinner in Tokyo without having to take a flight!“

“The hibachi was amazing! We also had sushi and fried calamari were scrumptious.“

“Kotobuki is an authentic Japanese restaurant with excellent food and service. The head chef is the owner -- Masanori Sato, who goes informally by the moniker "Masa." Masa is always busy, behind the such bar, creating his excellent delicacies. My favorite is the sushi and sushi rolls -- always fresh and delicious. In addition to the traditional rolls, there are some wonderful in-house creations such as the Spicy Betty Roll, Lobster Roll (my wife's favorite), and my favorite, the Kevin Roll. The latter, in deference to the national color of Ireland, is spicy tuna wrapped in slices of tuna, fried, and covered with avocado (green, of course). The setting is not overdone, to say the least, but is very basic -- a variety of wooden tables surrounded by walls enhanced with various pieces of art appropriate to the cuisine and culture. The tables are separated by cloth partitions highlighting Japanese scenery. The table service is excellent, the staff is very accommodating, and shout-outs are certainly appropriate for Mr. Sato's wife (head waitress) and Jenny (one of the welcoming waitresses). Moreover, the dining room is very quiet, conducive to conversing with cohorts without the need to raise one's voice. It should be mentioned that Kotobuki remained open during the pandemic, serving both take-out meals AND in-house specialties.“

“We are new to the area & wanted to find our "go-to" Chinese food delivery place. We ordered Fuji recently. So delicious! We will be ordering from Fuji from now on. EXCELLENT! Thank you. Delivery was great! :)“

“Outstanding experience all around. The quality of the food, the attentive service with a keen eye on detail makes for and unbelievable dining experience. But don't tell a lot of people I said this, I want to be able to get a reservation.“

“I just ‘rediscovered’ this wonderful sushi restaurant in Stamford. The new owner, Fiona is wonderful. Friendly and knowledgeable about her menu options as well. Lulu was my waitress. She was terrific. The service is very good. The (3) sushi chefs are very talented. Great, fresh and delicious offerings. Even the kitchen has delicious pan fried pork dumplings and drunken noodles. I’ll definitely become a ‘regular patron’ here again! 😎🙌🏻❤️👍🏻“

“An exceptional omakase experience. Every course was fresh, expertly prepared, and beautifully presented. The chef’s attention to detail and thoughtful progression made each bite memorable. Great atmosphere, top-notch service — highly recommended for sushi lovers.“

“Little Tokyo is a 10/10 experience! As someone who has gone for over 10 years and taken friends here many times, they all appreciate the quality and options available in such a hole in the wall spot.

Henry seems to get a lot of reviews complaining about his service, calling him aggressive or rude. This is simply not the case- it is a difference in culture and dialect that is misinterpreted. Henry know every regular he has and treats them like friends! If you expect someone to wait on you hand and foot... this is not the spot. If you want high quality, well priced, sushi then Little Tokyo is the place to go.“

“Tutto molto buono e posto gradevole“

“Great food and great service.“

“This might genuinely be my favorite restaurant in Stamford. I hold it close to my heart, not only because of how great the food is but because it’s always been there. The service and atmosphere is always in tip top shape, never lacking or dirty. The food is on another level for the all you can eat, insanely delicious and fresh. Whenever we’re celebrating something or just on a night out, we know that we can always rely on Sushi X2.“

“The food was delicious, service was great too! Really good drinks 🍹“

“I finally got to try this restaurant after the shut down of Ichiban and I was not disappointed, the chicken teriyaki has a more soy taste to it than sweet which I didn’t mind from Ichiban. The chicken teriyaki was delicious but the only critic I have is, for the extra portions of meat or shrimp plating it better in the tray because the sauce was dripped all over the place. Other than the plating critic, that’s all I have to say, good job and Welcome!

Kid-friendliness: EA Teriyaki is inside of the mall, come on in and bring the kids with you!“

“Amazing food! Among all the takeout options in Stamford, Kampei stands out as one of the best, if not the best. I can't pick just one favorite dish because everything is consistently delicious, but I particularly love their Japanese bento boxes, sushi bar offerings, chow fun, and shredded duck. Whether you choose takeout or dine-in, the atmosphere and service are both excellent. Highly recommended!“

“Can’t wait to go back!
Water Moon is such a cozy little gem. The vibe is super relaxing, and the dumplings? Unreal. So flavorful and perfectly made, we couldn’t stop talking about them. Our server, Anna, was the sweetest and made everything feel extra special. Sad they’re closed for remodeling, but I’m already excited for their return. Definitely a favorite! Perfect for a business meeting, a friends/family get together, or even to sit down and do some studying and enjoy lunch!“
