The place is pretty cool when you come in. Definitely has an ambience about it and booth seating by the windows as well so it's nice for taking out a date.Service was attentive.
As for sushi? The rolls were 50% so the rolls I ordered were 1/2 off of $12.95 which isnt' that bad for specials. I believe I ordered a Red Rock, Caterpillar, and Honey roll. I think I liked Red Rock roll the best out of the three because it had a slight spice to it, but none in particular stood out as far as freshness or distinct flavor compared to Goyemon, Oyshi,or Yama. The rolls were not tightly packed either so some of the pieces were falling apart unfortunately.
I also took some time to order because it seemed that many of the menu options were either fried, shrimp tempura inside, or california roll base. I enjoy all three but I appreciate a sushi restaurant with different fresh fish combinations (without frying or baking) which Kobe did not offer. Fish inside the sushi were either tuna or salmon mostly. Where's the variety? :(
Overall:
I think for experienced sushi enthusiasts, the sushi here won't be as satisfying especially if you have been to the point of comparing restaurants and judging based on use and freshness of the fish they offer.
Kobe doesn't stand out for its sushi. It's not bad at all, but not notable either.
However, I think this place is a GREAT starter sushi joint for those who are thinking about getting into sushi but are hesitant.
