We went to Kotobuki Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar on a Sunday night and they were not busy at all. We walked in and were greeted and sat down right away. The atmosphere is Asian/Modern. After ordering our drinks, we were ready to order right away. They have an extensive vegetarian menu for a Japanese restaurant. To name a few: Vegetarian Shrimp Tempura, Vegetarian Salmon Roll, Vegetarian Lobster Roll, Vegetarian Ham, and Vegetarian Chicken Teriyaki. We decided to go with the Eggplant “Ham” platter and the Sesame “Chicken”.
After serving us Miso Soup and salad (both were delicious), they came out with our meals. I loved the presentation. The food was also superb. They brought it out with a potato cake and a spring roll. The spring roll had a bit too much cabbage for my taste but I loved the potato cake. My sesame chicken was excellent and my fiancé’s Eggplant “Ham” platter was TO DIE FOR! After trying it, I had to second guess myself and make sure that there was no Eggplant Ham platter anywhere else on the menu. It tasted just like what I remember Ham tasting like and the consistency was close but I think not as chewy as real ham. Since they only offer a vegetarian version, this was definitely vegetarian.
I had a wonderful first experience with Kotobuki and will definitely be going back soon. The server was very friendly and very willing to help. I highly recommend it. You can find out more about Kotobuki at their US Directory listing: http://kotobuki.usdirectory.com
