We tried a few different types of kamameshi, all of which were flavorful and came with four tasty side dishes that complemented the meal nicely.
The staff was warm and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. The dining area is cute but small, but we had no trouble getting seats around 6:30 on a Saturday. A solid spot for a casual Japanese meal.

We’ve been going here for years and love it, especially for take out. Recently we’ve been unable to reach the restaurant by telephone. Anyone else experiencing this?

I was scared to review this place because it might be mobbed and I want to keep my knowledge of it to myself, selfishly. But facts are facts and this is, hands down, the best sushi in DC. No arguments! The serves have been working there for years and are great without constantly coming to check on you. This place is a true hidden gem, and absolutely amazing. I come here every year for my birthday, with my Dad.

I was there on a Friday evening and it was not busy at all. We had the calamari salad (yummy!) the Kamameshi set with eel—the rice in the iron pot was very good! The sushi rolls were also good sadly I don’t remember which we had

A little bit small of a space that wasn’t super decorated. We didn’t feel like the sushi “popped”. Otherwise. A cute little place otherwise.

Cramped, slow service, mediocre sushi. Lots of distracting sounds. Doorbell didn’t stop ringing, sensor-based welcome message goes off continually as people wait for tables. Too expensive for its quality level. Won’t be back.

The food is good, the service was adequate, and it was a place to go out of convenience.

We got food poisoning after eating here and now dealing with insane stomach pain and vomit. This place is not clean. Food was ok/kind of bad. Skip it.
Delicious, fresh, high quality sushi in an undiscovered part of DC! The prices are very reasonable and the staff are friendly and efficient. We come here frequently for the good food and kind people.

I wish I went here sooner. I have lived in the Palisades for four years. Sushi is one of my favorite fare and the six times I have been here in the last five months have been amazing. The sushi is impecable and the service is even better. I have come here just for a quick dinner to take home and a place to sulk after the death of my abuela. Their demeanor is unmatched to other sushi places in DC and I, regretfully, wish I could have spent more time with their fabulous staff. Kotobuki is an institution that must be respected and admired by everyone in the DMV. Thank you!

Classic Japanese cuisine, fresh fish, one of my favorite local restaurants in the Georgetown area (Foxhall).
