Honestly, I wasn't expecting much--we picked it out of convenience to the movies. It was terrific! The squid salad was excellent and the food was deliciously fresh. I'd love to come back.
Ms HeleneMarch 10, 2017They're back. Huge servings for price. Sushi and sashimi for 1, $34 includes 3 types of rolls and also soup and salad. Enough for 2 easily. Loud spot.
Always great food and be sure to ask the waiter for any off the menu special recommendations. Be sure to make a reservation on the weekends because it gets packed! Request David- he is awesome!- Ms HeleneDecember 29, 2019Sashimi deluxe $27 incl soup and salad, half UFO (riceless) roll and 3 pieces of seared salmon and 16 pieces of seasonal fish
Yoav HornungJune 29, 2018Not the best in NY but still very good and great value for money. We were 4 and took the meal for 3, it was too much!
Amber RachaelOctober 13, 2013Very reasonably priced and good sushi/sashimi! Order the "Sushi for two!" It is a huge platter of sushi and sashimi and is enough for four people! The only con is that the wines are not good.
Without a doubt the omakase sushi sashimi platters are the way to go. Although not on the menu, it comes with miso soup, salad and fried oysters. A tremendous value.
The quality of the fish is fantastic! Fresh and yummy. And the lunch specials on chirashi, sushi and sashimi are so cheap for the amount of food you get :)
Yisroel SolomonMay 22, 2017The "Manhattan" rolls are a favorite. This place is an overall good sushi joint. If you are looking for a good spot with friends, this is it.
Nice atmosphere and an extensive, almost too-big-to-navigate menu. I really like the Mardi Gras Gone Wild special roll ad the sashimi tacos.
letajanelleSeptember 14, 2016The Japanese tacos are delish and the Sushi platter for one is actually for 3 people!!!
LizaAugust 19, 2014Great sushi. Get the sushi for one and split it with two. Dumplings were also delicious
An ample wine list focusing on sake by the glass or the bottle also features red wine and white wine.
Jerry CAugust 24, 2014The sushi & sashimi special for 3 is more than enough for 4 people. Quality and quantity!
Joe NazittoMarch 25, 2017Everything rocks at Kotobuki ‼ Sushi master Yoshi has been creating the best sushi in NY since he first opened in Happauge
Jack GashiJanuary 10, 2014Sushi is good, but what's the point? There's a giant crowd to get in just, mainly people from Long Island. You either come here to be seen, or see someone from B-school
The food, the service--everything is great here! Love the omakase entree. Def will leave you full and happy :).
Leah FarrenMay 16, 2017Get the sushi for two...but split it with four people. It's enough sushi to feed a small village.
Best sushi in town! And it’s reasonably priced. Out of control roll is really good.
Patrick SiuSeptember 9, 2013The sashimi deluxe was excellent quality and an awesome deal. We liked it better than ordering 3 separate rolls.
Seth TerpstraJuly 18, 2014The Chirashi (pictured) is an amazing deal for the generous amount and variety of delicious sashimi you get.
a. hirataNovember 26, 2012$22 chirashi, worth it. soup was cold, salad dressing was on point, and actual chirashi had a nice fresh selection. my friends who ordered rolls were not satisfied, but I was!
Brian DeVitoAugust 7, 2014One of the better sushi spots in the East Village. Try their sushi pizza and radish wrapped rolls.
Cameron BlankApril 7, 2014Get the sushi and sashimi special for one. It is enough to feed two people easily and it is delicious.
Sal LeeSeptember 23, 2013Oysters on the appetizer menu is a MUST. Sushi/Sashimi combo special for 1 is enough for 2 people.
Sushi & sashimi combo 4 nigiri , 8 sashimi ,salmon carpaccio , california & u.f.o. Roll. Includes salad , soup an d green tea $23. (dinner)
Sushi and sashimi combo is all you need to know. Service is slow but well worth the wait.- Maria KJanuary 16, 2017The tuna "burger" was great. The k-Mac was too heavy for my taste (too much mayo). Good Japanese beer selection.
Imtiaz KhanSeptember 8, 2013The sushi + sashimi platter is massive. And delicious. For 1 is more than adequate for 2 people- K-2 deep-fried soft shell crab topped with julienne crab sticks , cucumber and mayo with side of Tuna & avocado salad. $14.50
Clarka HonzikuDecember 2, 2013This is a die-for sushi! K-mac sliders & spicy tuna sandwich are absolutely mind blowing!- Just as amazing as the long island branches. sashimi lunch a bargain at $14 includes salad, soup and green tea.
- James KiernanAugust 19, 2014Mediocre sushi and insanely crowded. Pay the extra bucks and head a few blocks over to Sushi Dojo.
- Clarka HonzikuAugust 17, 2013One of the best sushi places in Manhattan. Too bad you cannot try everything at once ;)
#FabuLIST Mac sliders, spicy tuna pizza, yellowtail jalapeño sashimi, and any of the rolls!
Thumbs up on yellowtail jalapeno and the "crazy" tuna and salmon rolls. Service is mehh, menu is way too big and confusing, but food is good
Vanessa V.July 19, 2013If you aren't getting the spicy tuna pizza, I have one question for you: why aren't you getting the spicy tuna pizza?
Nicole NadelApril 15, 2012Wow!! Fantastic new sushi place that just opened on Thursday. Yellowtail Jalapeno is to die for!
Ian GlazerJune 5, 2014Hamachi Kama appetizer was delicious, sushi rolls are pretty skimp with the fish. Too much rice.
sara ngNovember 18, 2013Try the fried red bean ice cream for dessert. At $5, it's a delicious steal.
JackieFebruary 23, 2014Good pricewise but it leads to a very long wait for both table and food. It's also extremely loud; I felt my voice going as I chatted whilst waiting for my dinner to arrive.
Matt SzenicsMay 22, 2012Usually I cant tell the difference, but the sushi here is so good. Try the special rolls
