Used to be my favorite sushi place around here before the pandemic. Unfortunately, something changed. Food is just bad now. I miss the old Kotobuki.

I've been coming here since I was a kid! The best Sushi in Stamford by far!

Very high quality fish! Great cold Sake selection too!

Small place...fresh sushi and sashimi. Nice experience

Sushi here is always so good. A friend had brought us here over twenty years ago. Still coming back

We used to go to Kotobuki all the time when we lived in Stamford years ago. It's a bit out of the way for us now but we were tired of our local, average sushi spots. On a whim we ordered from Kotobuki last night and drove the extra ten minutes each way. It was well worth it! Kotobuki has the best sushi in CT. Even a simple spicy tuna roll was a delicious surprise. We will be back again soon. Thank you!

Sushi was so good! Would recommend trying the spicy tuna roll with soy and scallion?

One of the better sushi spots I have ever been. The staff here is always first class.

Slow and bad service with a rude manager and a waiter unable to communicate they were running late. We wait for our food for 55 minutes without any word from the waiter who got surprised when finally he realized we hadn’t been served. We tried to talk with the manager who answered that she couldn’t do nothing because they were short handed and all customers know it takes one hour before the food is ready, what is not true. Even tough, we deserved a notice about it when we arrived. We have been there many times without facing this poor treatment before. How come this people are in business? Why it’s so difficult to inform us when we arrived the food would take one hour to be served, as it is the normal routine at the restaurant according to the manager? Poor staff communication skills for a food that is not so great. The only thing that come to the table was the burned and oiled guiozas. And the manager told me that she didn’t care if I would write them a bad review. So here it is. By the way, we witnessed that even the table cleaning is badly done using a dirty wet cloth without any cleaning product, even now during the Covid pandemic. Moreover, they handle the trash bags inside of the restaurant, in front of the tables and cashier. A nightmare!

we first came in over twenty years ago. we are still enjoying the incredibly fresh sushi
