Inexpensive, pristine sushi will lure you in (make sure to try the homemadesoy sauce); for heavier fare, kamameshi, a luscious ricecasserole with chicken, veggies, or eel will satisfy your cravings.
What makes Kotobuki special is that it's the only Japanese restaurant in D.C. that serves kamameshi. The rice is cooked with chicken, eel, or vegetables in the iron pot. En savoir plus
Prices are now $1.50 per piece for most nigiri, but still well worth it. I recommend the white tuna, sea scallop, and my fav, lobster among the $1.50 pieces. The hamachi and uni r more but yummy.
Get the Shumai for an appy and then the Chirashi Deluxe as an entree.. An excellent dinner to split between two people and frankly the freshest fish in the area
If you want incredibly fresh, high quality and affordablesushi this is the place for you! If you are a vegetarian or can't have raw fish due to pregnancy or other issues, not a good choice for you.
Make sure you go there for an early dinner...there are only 6 tables and when the freshest sushi in DC is only $1.00 a piece the places is ALWAYS packed. No later than 6:30 - it's worth it!
