| - Came here for dinner with some friends to try out this new place. Apparently this is a sister restaurant to Blue Fin Sushi on Sunset on the east side of town and 8 Ounce KBBQ. This location took over the old spot for Kobe sushi.
I've never been to Kobe previously but the decor currently is pretty nice. Very open location with a bar (drinks) and sushi bar. We were a party of 5, with one super late as he misunderstood and drove to Egypt, i mean the east location. XD Since it was fairly early (630P) and it wasnt busy, they gave us a huge booth to sit at.
We were instantly seated after we arrived and had the waitress come to take drink orders almost immediately. Service was pretty good overall. Very attentive in terms of drinks and orders.
---------------------
Soft Shell Crab Tempura - Half a soft shell crab per order - Not bad. Lightly battered. Served over a small salad bed.
(1 order per person for items below)
Grilled Yellowtail Collar (wasn't available - sold out)
Rib Eye Steak - Served on a hot plate of maybe 4-5 slices with onions - Not bad of an appetizer. Had some fatty pieces. Flavored well. Not overcooked but not exactly medium rare either Lol.
Oyster - 2 pieces per order - Huge oysters. A bit fishy in smell and taste. At least they were clean and had no sediment.
(Nigiri)
Tuna, Super White Tuna, Salmon, Halibut, Ikura, Masago, Unagi, Uni (limited 1 order per person)
Overall, the nigiri were decent. The ikura was mildly "less fresh" than expected as the balls were a little deflated. Our 2nd order of salmon somehow became salmon belly, which was nice. Lol
Salmon avocado handroll - A LOT of salmon diced with some avocado. Friend was like, wheres the avocado? XD
Over The Rainbow - essentially otherwise known as a "rainbow roll". Assorted fish topped on a california roll.
(Dessert) - Supposedly its unlimited. We will see how long this lasts Lol
The ice cream mochi seems pretty decent. Mochi skin is nice and chewy. The honey toast is made with hawaiian bread with a scoop of ice cream on top. Didn't really get to try others. Saw the tempura green tea ice cream. Looked pretty decent
---------------------
Overall, good was decent. Service was great. The rice to fish ratio is pretty decent, still incomparable to some places in Cali which is ridiculous (rice so small and fish so big, the fish can wrap around the rice completely). Fish overall is pretty fresh and clean.
Some downsides are like, hot tea is served in a pot, vs refilled as needed per cup like other places. Hot tea becomes lukewarm pretty fast unfortunately with the use of a pot for them. Convenient but loses its temperature pretty fast. The soy sauce seems to taste weird to me and my friend. I tried tasting both the green top and red top soy sauces and it seems much diluted and seemed to taste somewhat sweet? it was weird. Its at the point that we thought we should bring our own soy sauce. Price i think is a little bit higher than some competitors but is more convenient and less packed.
