I don't claim to be a world class sushi expert, but every time I try out another japanese/sushi restaurant, it makes me appreciate Koto Buki even more. Anything I've ever had there is excellent, both sushi and the meals. If you want to try out a variety of tastes, go during the lunch hour if possible. The cheaper (but not much smaller) lunch portions will enable you to sample some of their other offerings along with the mandatory sushi. .ej.

Don't miss the beef and asparagus maki appetizer. Only been once, loved it, and look forward to going back! Michael Sykuta

As good sushi as I've had in a landlocked city, excellent sukiyaki (with egg if requested and the broth can be quite refreshingly strong), hot ginger tea which will warm your heart even in the most frozen Pittsburgh winter, and fairly light and relatively well dried tempura, and a wide selection of appetizers. One of the more expensive Japanese restaurants around town, but quality to match. We go there regularly for special dinners. I remain curious for input from as many people as can compare Kotobuki with Little Tokyo, the one Japanese restaurant I'm not familiar with... Brian Zikmund-Fisher
