Evacuated from Galveston because of tropical storm Beta. Staying with family in Buna and wanted sushi. Adayla was our waitress and was very nice and informative about the selections. We had the rainbow roll (crabmeat avocado cucumber tuna red snapper and salmon) Obe roll (spicy fried shrimp topped crab meat hot sauce and scallions) Chicken roll with crab meat Chef made cute designs with the sushi...awesome おいしい = delicious! read more

Great price for crunch roll! They're absolutely delicious. Employees on phones a lot read more

Great Fresh beautiful Rolls . Cute spot for date night. I love everything I've had here. The onion soup is exceptionally flavorful. The price for lunch sushi deluxe is great. They have had the same service since they opened and it is friendly and small town charming, read more

The sushi is great. The service from the waiters is usually nice. The male owner can be a bit rude, but his wife is PRECIOUS! The hibachi is a bit heavy, but flavorful. The facility is dirty... very dirty. read more

It was good but now it is overpriced for smaller proportions and the teriyaki beef is my favorite.

One of my favorite restaurants to go to. The sushi is always great and a nice atmosphere

We almost always order the fried rice with chicken and veggies. It's one of my go-to places in Lumberton!

Some of the freshest sushi that I have ever had! I absolutely loved the Eel Roll because they do not skimp on the avocado!! I absolutely loved the favor of this roll and I highly recommend it because it's so fresh. I also LOVED the dressing on their house salad. The dressing was a ginger style dressing and it was so flavorful and delicious. Also, I recommend the miso soup, the broth is so smooth and delicious. I also would like to comment on how wonderful the service was. Although I don't live around here, next time I am in the area, I will make sure to spot by! read more

The food and service has gotten so bad here I don't see how they are still in business. The restaurant and bathrooms are dirty all the time. Staff is more often than not on their phones. I got something to go yesterday in the hopes things had change but it hasn't. Sorry but that was my last time. Do not recommend at all. read more

The service was great, the food left much to be desired. The tuna tataki appetizer was absolutely non edible, it tasted like rotten fish. While the waitress was very kind, she saw we only took one bite and set it on the other side of the table and asked how it was, we told her it was awful and she simply stated "yeah, I'm sorry". Never offered to remove it from the bill. The salads were pretty standard, lettuce and ginger dressing. The samari sushi roll was decent but it was listed under the uncooked side and then came out baked. We did not try the hibachi. read more

I normally don't leave reviews, but the past few times we've eaten here there have been issues. We ordered delivery today and the shrimp inside all 3 of the sushi rolls hadn't been cleaned. My husband and I ended up not even eating what we ordered. We won't be going back. read more

Kotoyama Sushi - Uncleaned shrimp. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lumberton, Texas

Decent place, nice staff but they do not season their rice according to Japanese traditional sushi methods. Rice is consistently very bland. Imagine home cooked rice with Sushi on it. Hope they read this... read more

This place is always great. Good sushi consistently, friendly staff. I'd avoid the lunch time because they are super busy. I eat here on a regular basis and recommend. read more

Great sushi, great staff, and very clean I would highly recommend this place specially in a city as limited as lumberton.

I love the soup and the hibachi with stick rice and veggies is to die for. Easy for takeout!

I used to eat here before I moved to Chicago and now that I have moved back to Lumberton, I tried it and I am so happy that it's still just as good. I was worried that I would have to go to Beaumont just to get decent sushi. And Beaumont may have locations with better sushi but the sushi at Kotoyama is far from disappointing. Will keep returning. read more

It's a small restaurant but the sushi is so good. It's cheaper than Tokoyo in Beaumont but has the exact same sushi and fried rice. They do not have the hibachi grill but I prefer sushi anyhow. If you have never had sushi try the California roll, Kailua roll, shrimp tempura, and the Obe roll. They are all good and are not raw fish. The miso soup is great and if you go you have to get a bowl of shrimp fried rice, it's the best! read more

We love going here for sushi even over the more popular Beaumont restaurants. Best, freshest salmon sushi around! Wait staff is always friendly. read more

When I lived in town and first was exposed to sushi, I could eat a crunch roll or two once a week and die happy. Over the years, I tired of all of the fried, +mayo +"spicy sauce" + "special sauce" options and have a hard time finding a roll here that is good but not overly gluttonous. For now, when I visit town, I always stop in for a Caribbean roll to go. Service is slow and the increasing grime behind the sushi guys keeps me from having a seat and second guessing my decision to order. Kotoyama is the only place I've been where I can get tako/octopus in a roll... And that's the only reason I come back. read more

The food is good but what sets this place apart are the waitresses. Trista has waited on us several times and she is amazing. Super friendly and attentive. read more

The food always is fantastic, and fresh. I enjoy the crunch and California roll. I wish the main hostess were more kind. I have heard almost every person that waited for their order that the owner woman is very rude. The young women who wait table are kind tho. I will continue to enjoy this food. read more

I saw two roaches in 10 minutes after we went inside. There were a lot of food crumbs on the couch. Soy sauce on the menu (I guess they never wipe the menu).Food was good but it was not a clean restaurant. read more

Well a call in order they said would take twenty minutes took an hour. When the order finally came they missed one of the rolls. You can't get a miso soup and salad with the sashimi, it's one or the other. Just drive ten minutes to Tokyo's you will be much happier. read more

Great place for sushi in Lumberton as long as the owner is there (most lunches). She is awesome, but the night crew is terrible. Their crunch roll is one of the best rivalling even the uni and toro I've had. Very good. read more

The food was fantastic. I arrived at a slow time and my food took 45 minutes. There was rap and hip Hop playing which was off putting considering it's theme. Also one of the waitresses was talking to another customer about vulgar matters in her life "rape and sex." Food was phenomenal! But the atmosphere was crap. read more

We have always had good food here... ordering to pick up takes awhile but worth the extra time as it's not fast food! The chicken terryaki has good veggies in it too! read more

My go-to for sushi!! I can spend the same amount on fast food, or eat something delicious. Looking for something different, their combo fried rice is amazing & more than enough for two. read more

Went for happy hour and charged full price, sushi wasn't that good, it was warm Didn't taste very good, and now i feel like I'm gonna throw up! 10/10 DO NOT recommend. Save your money and time and go somewhere better. read more

We haven't been to this place in two years because of a bad experience, decided to give it another shot today for some sushi.........well, after roaches climbing on our table and others in the restaurant, it's safe to say that we will Never be back! Beware if you decide to eat at this restaurant.......It should be a Zero rating! read more

This location is dirtier than any restaurant in Lumberton. I posted a review on yelp and the owner had it removed because they said I had no "first hand knowledge." I do have first hand knowledge.......I've gotten food poisoning from this owner before and I have eaten at this location. I'm just simply going to re-post. See beloe for other locations (same owner) health report from Beaumont Enterprise......read everybody else's reviews. "Kotoyama, 2604 Dowlen Road. Inspection date: 7/16/14. Violations: Dead roach in ice bin, roach feces and dead roaches on tables, in door tracks of refrigerators and in utensil holders, live cockroaches, gnats, hand soap bottles watered down excessively, no visible thermometers in coolers, mold in soda nozzles.

Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. One day everything is perfect and the next, the fried rice is not fresh or the raw tuna tastes funny. It's like Tokyo in Beaumont but way less consistent. Staff is usually good though. read more

Tiny place but they know how to make sushi! My favorite is the crunch roll. That is what I always get and I have never been disappointed. My friend got the teriyaki chicken and she said the chicken was super dry. However I can only vouch for the fried rice and the sushi...delicious! read more

This place is delicious! Great food and more than I expected. Their sushi and dishes are fantastic

It's really convenient having a sushi place in Lumberton. Plus it's tasty. I've only ever had the crunch roll because I'm a creature of habit who sticks with something she likes. I've been getting it since I was a kid, but the last time I went it was only subpar. Maybe it just wasn't a good day, but one mediocre experience won't stop me from coming back. My boyfriend also really liked what he ordered. The only thing that actually annoyed me was that a kid near the cash register (I assume the kid of someone who runs Kotoyama) was playing on some electronic device with the volume turned up loud. It was pretty distracting. read more

Yes food is great but I too have seen the roaches and if it is that dirty in the dining area what does the kitchen look like. Why doesn't the health dept. stop by..... read more

The food was really good the problem I have is the manager (I think) was walking around on her cell phone all over the restaurant talking on it and had her daughter there who was running around banging on the front door and yelling while the girls who worked there were trying to keep her occupied but the manager/mother was doing nothing. I just thought that was really unprofessional read more

I love the sushi here but it is so dirty. I really wish they would hire a cleaning crew because we would really eat there about twice a week. Floor is slippery it's so dirty! Yuck!!! read more

happy hour specials are a great deal, love the crunchy roll!

My favorite sushi place. It's always clean when I eat there. Well priced. You have to try the lava roll. I don't think it's on the menu but everything is fresh and amazing. Good service and fast. read more
