KASHI STAMFORD REVIEWS

It was an overall great experience. The food and drinks were good. The decor was nice and the outside seating with nice weather was nice. Our server, a student at UCONN was great. The presentation of some of the rolls/food was so cute. Would recommend.

Had the pleasure of going to Kashi while in Stamford, and the food, service, and the atmosphere was delightful. Went on a Saturday night and it was pretty packed! Would definitely return.

I absolutely loved my lunch from this place. It was such a nice vibe on the inside, plus, the to go bag was insulated. The miso soup stood out to me. I will definitely go back.

KOTOBUKI JAPANESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

I travel for work and have eaten sushi in tons of places. This place by far has the freshest sushi I have ever had. The sticky rice is incredible! The size of the rolls are not skimpy like I have eaten in other places. Trust me I don't leave reviews but they deserve one.

Really impressed with the quality of fish and service at this spot. Not a lot of dinner traffic - so I was suspicious. But the sashimi, service and sake were superlative! In short - great spot for a great Japanese meal! Will definitely be back.

I’ve always been told the best sushi will melt in your mouth, and the bad quality you will be chewing on endlessly. Atmosphere is great, service was great, and food was the best.

FIN II REVIEWS

I tried the organic chicken teriyaki, and the vegetables were so fresh and well prepared. Also loved the miso soup and green tea. On another note I have never seen this restaurant with any people eating in it other than myself.

Very welcoming staff even when we came close to closing! The food was excellent as well, especially the duck ramen and paradise sushi roll.

I've been a fan of Fin and Fin II for years. Consistently high quality sushi and a fine selection of saki, including delicious unfiltered ones.
