Service no bueno. Waitress be nice to people, if you are mad at the world you should stay home. Also, your food used to be good, now your ingredients are low quality.

Now this place is really something special. I love coming here as an Italian man this experiance is like no other. I love Japanese cuisine and ever since my main place closed down, “Minado” or something. I had to find a new place. Now this isn’t a buffet but this is amazing

Updated: on Sept 13,2025 visited restaurant again because the last time I enjoyed dining at restaurant. To my surprise it was the worse experience I had. I invited a number of friends and my son to eat because the last time really enjoyed with our server Hanna.
When we arrived and sat down, the waiter took our order and server named Hong L, demeanor was very rude during our eating, that my guests were very upset. We had order drinks and it took over 10 minutes because he was attending another customer at another table who came after us. We order appetizers prior to the other customers who came after us too, and they came late as well too.
I even asked for extra napkins and he never brought over, the petite young lady from the register brought for us the napkins as we were eating right away. Server, Hong L was not friendly or tentative at all and never bothered to come over to see if we needed anything.
Another issue was the food we order were not the greatest or tasteful. The drinks order were ok , which my guests enjoyed. The beef negimaki appetizer was a little dried and not tasty. The worse part of this server was that he put two separate orders on same plate, 2 Red Dragon. My guest had the plate and was eating thinking it was his order. I waited like 5 minutes and questioned server who said it was served, I said I didn’t received and he said it was on my guest plate. I said in whose right mind would do this and what was more disturbing, he took my guess plate and separated and put the other portion on another plate for me to eat. This type of behavior is uncalled for and this sever should not be working there. In the end he just dropped the bill which I paid over $238 on the table like throwing us out and never asking if we needed anything else or say thank you. When I gave him cash tip he not even say thank you. As a business owner and someone who is a foodie, I would not have him working. This type of behavior is uncalled for in any business. I been to this restaurant many times as well and enjoyed their hospitality and caring by their servers. That is why I changed the rating. (see pictures below I added for the above date)
Updated: On Feb 2, 2025 visited restaurant and to my surprise the food and service was outstanding. The server Hanna was very attentive and professional and friendly. She made sure that all was great and if we needed anything not to hesitate to ask. We had a number dishes like Sushi deluxe sp salmon roll, yellowtail jalapeño, nabeyaki udon and other dishes. The food was fresh as well. My son and I went for dinner. Ask for Hanna , she is very attentive, friendly and caring for her customers to be satisfied while eating. Thank you Hanna! You made our dinner a pleasure to visit this restaurant. As someone who travels a lot and enjoys trying different ethnic foods and reviewing the food and services to let other customers know how the food and its service is.
Approx 2 years ago ,I was not impressed at all about the food. I gave 4 stars because of the service and friendliness. It was very crowed too maybe because of the weekend.

Okay so this places ambience is really cute and it's good for like a quick last minute dinner. The sashimi we got was super fresh. The sushi pizza was too like Americanized for me i thought it would be more like Tokus sushi pizza but it's kind of a random mix of imitation crab, some other fish on this chewy rice bed. Moreover Personally, i HATE the fact there are no reservations. I came in here once trying to get dinner and it was a mad house, there was a line out the door, phones ringing off the hook, three DoorDash drivers standing by the desk waiting for a hostess. The hostesses were running around. It just doesn't seem efficient for a place that is so popular. Overall 3.5/5

This is my favorite Japanese restaurant near my home, and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been here. It’s always bustling with customers — a clear sign of how much people love this place. The servers are warm and friendly, and the dishes are fresh and delicious. Though it’s tucked away in an unremarkable corner, its popularity proves that good things never go unnoticed — guests just keep coming.
Busy weds night. Hostess was the only positive and speed of food to our table. Waiter was a bit rude, then after food was delivered never to be seen again. We had to ask 2 different waitresses after waiting so long for our check, the one lady with glasses and pony tail gave us the check and I tipped 15%, I should’ve given zero. She didn’t even acknowledge with the annoying holding of the portable card machine and rudely walked off. Also, flies all over inside and by sushi making station it was pretty gross. Improve service

Kotobuki Roslyn has the kind of peaceful, relaxed vibe that makes you feel like you’re dining in your own cozy backyard—only better, because you’re being served fresh, high-quality food you are enjoy. The outdoor seating is quiet, perfect for unwinding. The service is friendly and attentive without ever feeling pushy. The sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent. This has become one of my go-to spots when I want a calm, satisfying meal without the hassle. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great sushi in a laid-back setting.
