Diners rave about the flavorful dishes, particularly the vegan spring rolls and cheesecake. However, service remains inconsistent, with several guests noting long wait times and disorganized orders. While many appreciate the owner’s commitment to the vegan community, some have criticized the management's approach. Overall, this spot attracts attention for its culinary offerings, particularly sushi, but visitors may want to manage their expectations regarding service quality.
The Japanese culture has always inaugurated me...to the point where I am on a constant journey to find the best magic spots in hampton roads and that my friends take the cake. the atmosphere and eating are from this world I will certainly come back and the word will spread that this restaurant is the best of the best. my own personal experience was nothing less magical and I like to sound something too enthusiastic, but I don't lie when I say that this shop and it's personal are top notch! keep the great work and I will come again and again!
Worst experience. the owner was disrespectful. I'm vegan and the food I ordered was fried with regular eating and I wasn't informed. I'm allergic to garnel and I felt sick immediately. the owner also paid me and tried to throw me down. I also didn't get anything from my food and was charged for it, and in order to end it astonishingly, they gave me the wrong food at first, and that had meat that I couldn't eat, which was on the table for someone else. I was lucky I noticed because the staff didn't. the owner has no great. the owner has been in business for “23 years” as she told me, but she is still a amateur in civil.
Vegan, sushi, atmosphere was so beautiful! mango salsa rolling were incredible love it. will come back
I've been to Kotobuki 3 times (so far) and I absolutely love it! The food is amazing, and they have so many vegan and vegetarian options that most should be satisfied. I am vegan and went with my two standard diet dining companions and we all were so stuffed and happy when we left. My only issue going here is that I have a hard time deciding what to eat because it's all amazing.
This is one of the better sushi Japanese cuisine restaurants I've been to in the area. The menu is very diverse, with a large vegetarian selection. The waitress was very nice and as prompt as could be, given she was the only server on the floor. My party of three had a great time and we never had an issue with wait time or meal temperatures. I did notice some folks losing their patience due to the long time for food to come out, but it seems patrons don't realize or remember that not all restaurants have a full staff any more. There was one server and one cook for the restaurant, which means wait times may be a little longer than expected. If you go in with the realization that you may have more time to talk than to eat, you'll be fine. Don't stare at your phone all night with your company across from you. Have a normal conversation and appreciate the folks who are serving and cooking for you. Compliments to the staff!
