Before reading the reviews I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ chicken plate, Poke bowl and their Thai milk tea. When I got my order I was so disappointed the Hawaiian BBQ chicken is so misleading the picture wasn't even the same! It's more like a chicken marinade in soy sauce . Other than that the poke was ok

We got the sweet chili Thai wings and the soy garlic wings. Both were delicious. He said they tasted the same, but I don't fully agree they're both on the sweeter side, but you can still tell the difference in flavor. Either way, both are really good and I'd get them again. He also got the taro boba. He liked it, but I personally am not a fan of their taro boba. It has this powdery taste to me that I don't get from other places, so I usually skip the drinks there. There was a bit of a mix-up with ordering. They have a value deal where you get 6 wings + a boba for about $9.95. I accidentally ordered just the wings for $8.95 thinking I'd be getting more wings for the price. That wasn't the case it was still just 6 wings. My man got the value deal and basically got the better deal with the drink included. I tried to see if I could just pay the dollar difference to add the boba after, but they said no since the order was already placed, so lesson learned: just get the combo. Even with that, the wings are still worth it. Also, the dumplings are really good the pork ones especially. I think I liked the beef ones a little more last time, but these were still solid. Overall, I'd definitely recommend sticking with the value combo and just going for the wings and dumplings. That's the best part of the menu for me.

For this place to have such quality food and the cost, the location is odd. I love Ramen and this…read moreis my 1st time eating it authentically. I really like it. The only thing I didn't like is that the menu says grilled chicken. The chicken for my Ramen was not grilled. It looked boiled to me though it had flavor. I didn't eat the chicken or peas (I just don't like peas). I was super pleased and excited about how thoughtfully the food was wrapped. The smoothie I can best describe as an adult sippy cup. I will be drinking out of that cup for maybe a day or 2 before I throw it away. The food was in a bento box!!! The Ramen and other things were separate from the broth. I added the Ramen and other things to it and it was really good. Next time I will get the vegetable Ramen with the nuggets. The nuggets was good too. Can't wait to try another drink. Oh and be ready to complete your order at a Kiosk. I recommend this spot

It's lunchtime and there are thousands of places to choose from and I'm going to sushi lunch…read moretomorrow so I don't necessarily want sushi two days in a row but on the other hand that would be okay with me too. But for now my friend and I are trying to choose what to eat. So I see poké on yelp and wonder what it is. Looks like a deconstructed sushi roll with no seaweed. Never had one so I thought I would check it out and this restaurant had some good reviews and wasn't to far. It's a tiny hole in the wall along a strip mall. My friend and I ordered several items. Tonkotsu broth with chicken katsu ramen with extra ramen noodles, a couple pick three protein poké bowls, salmon tataki, seaweed salad, volcano roll, coconut smoothie with added boba and rainbow jellies, and Thai Tea. Our orders are to go cause we have kids and didn't feel like having them mess the little joint up. The to go bags are absolutely the cutest! They're reusable red bags and each of us had our order neatly tucked away into them. Hot food was hot and cold food was cold. And our drinks were in the bags too and had little heart stoppers on the lids so no spilling was gonna happen in my car. The food was great! I feel like I went a little to heavy in the sauces I ordered because I didn't know how it worked. So they sauce your proteins and then sauce the top of your bowl. I'm not a fan of mayonnaise and there was something creamy in my bowl and I think a squirt of Japanese mayonnaise made it in by accident. But my bowl still tasted really good. I chose salmon, tuna, and salmon tataki for my proteins and mixed with all the other mixers it was pretty good! I will definitely know what to order and what not to order for my bowl next time. The sides were a great addition. Seaweed salad is always such a fresh side to get and it was cold and crunchy and seasoned well. The volcano roll was savory and lightly fried and was really good!!! One of the better ones I've tried and it was large and the sauces on top of it were perfect. The salmon tataki wasn't my absolute favorite. There was a creamy sort of sauce on it and again I'm not a huge fan of creamy flavors on raw fish. It took away the freshness of the fish in my opinion, but that's not their failure. It's just my preference. The drinks were so delicious!!!!! They can in a neat looking slick cup, I'm am so happy that I ordered my drink at only 30% the sugar content as regular cause whoa, it was still pretty sweet but not overly sweet. The boba was delicious and soft and only very slightly chewy and the rainbow jelly made my white coconut smoothie look so pretty!!! My friends Thai Tea she said was extremely sweet but she liked it very sugary and ordered the normal 100% sugar content. The drinks alongside the savory and spicy entrees were such a good accompaniment to each other and definitely so delicious. So I'm officially hooked on pokè bowls now and boba and jelly drinks. Definitely check this restaurant out if you haven't done so! I definitely enjoyed myself and so did my friend and kids! Everyone loved everything.

Walked about 5pm and the place only had a few guests in it (a quiet experience), which has been the…read moreleast busy we have seen it. We were seated right away. I really like the idea of the call button once you are ready to order to avoid multiple check-ins or on the spot decisions for some people who take longer to decided on food. We ordered the spicy miso ramen with additional chicken karrage and extra chili oil to add more spice. The noodles have always been perfect and broth well flavored. Tried the gyudon beef this time too and found the flavor of it to be like bulgogi which was tasty thin sliced beef, with pickled ginger, sautéed onions that were actually translucent so they had a slight sweetness to it, half an open faced egg (it was cold) and a massive bed of rice under the meat. The pan seared dumplings and potato shrimp were delicious served with there creamy dipping sauce. What could have been improved is mostly for the gyudon dish: there was much more rice to meat, I would have liked just bit or and or have the rice been a little more saucy to really absorb the flavor being there was so much rice.

SKIP Kotobuki in Norfolk - Worst Sushi Experience EVER…read more Kotobuki in Ghent is a disaster. I gave this long-running spot a second chance, after a poor first experience, and it was a mistake. A friend insisted we return, and the service was shockingly bad, the sushi was subpar and the overall experience was the worst. From the moment you walk in, Kotobuki screams neglect: dead plants, servers dressed like they're doing yard work and a pervasive smell of old fry oil. We had reservations for the "traditional Japanese" sunken-table room, where we removed our shoes and climbed into our seats. One dirty pair of slippers sat at our table, while a random pair of construction boots lay abandoned nearby. The "ambiance" was completed by 70s soft rock -- Lionel Richie instead of "traditional Japanese" music. Our server took my order for a dirty Stoli martini, then disappeared for an absurd amount of time only to return and say they couldn't make it -- with no explanation. We hunted through the limited menu while our server vanished completely. The owner eventually stopped by, and I had to specifically request a sushi list. Tired of sitting cross-legged, I briefly put my feet into the pit under the table. Rather than place my bare feet on the filthy floor, I slipped my shoes back on for a moment. That's when the owner's daughter stormed over and aggressively accused me of saying, "Screw you and screw Kotobuki -- I'm not following the rules!" She launched into a rude, insulting lecture about "Japanese custom" while I sat there stunned. I immediately took my shoes off again, just to de-escalate, but the evening was ruined. No customer should be verbally assaulted over something as basic as not wanting bare feet on an obviously dirty floor. In an awkward position, not wanting to ruin the evening, I ordered my food. The sake was watery and flavorless, the house salad was sad, wilted iceberg lettuce drowning in bottled ginger dressing, and the sushi arrived lukewarm with questionable rice that called for a palate blinding amount of wasabi. It was boring, poorly prepared, and far below average. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Hand to God! Had this not been a special evening with a dear friend, I would have walked out the second the owner's daughter chastised me at the table. Management at Kotobuki clearly doesn't care about customer service or basic standards -- especially when family members are allowed to treat patrons this way. "Japanese tradition" doesn't excuse poor hygiene, rude staff or substandard food. In America, we have health codes for a reason. If you want decent sushi in Norfolk, go literally anywhere else. Kotobuki is just a lazy dive. There's nothing special on the menu, very little sushi selection and nobody seems to care. If you choose to ignore this warning, lower your expectations folks, you are about to be disappointed. The only thing good about this restaurant, is the opportunity to tell you how much it sucked.
