| - We've hit up quite a few of the sushi restaurants in the area, and while we have found our favorite (Sushi @ the Lake) we are always up to trying new ones. I had gotten a deal to Kobe Hero through restaurants.com and we finally decided to head out and try it out last week.
Kobe Hero has an interesting interior, as it serves both sushi and hibachi. We told the host that we wanted sushi and they proceeded to walk us to a hibachi table and instructed us to join a random family. Not for nothing, but I didn't want to be eating sushi while having the hibachi smoke blow in my face while the chef shot a bottle of fake ketchup at me. We asked her if there was somewhere else we could eat, and the hostess led us to another room that contained the sushi bar, as well as several intimate booths and tables. If you're going for sushi definitely make sure they seat you here as opposed to the hibachi section.
One of the first things that caught our eyes was the drink menu. The drinks are pretty cheap, with things like martinis and other cocktails costing only $5. This wasn't just the nightly special...this is EVERY NIGHT! We never get cocktails out since beer and wine are generally cheaper, but with prices like this we treated ourselves. The missus got a nice flavored martini for a Lincoln and not only was it a pretty big drink, but it was strong as well. Don't let the price fool you...they don't skimp on the booze.
For an appetizer we ordered the edamame ($3.95) tuna tataki ($9.95) and the wasabi shumai ($7.95).The edamame was what you would expect from salted bean pods and were good. The wasabi shumai was a bit overpowering with the wasabi flavor and not the best I've had. The tuna tataki consisted of some seared tuna slices which was pretty darn tasty.
For the actual sushi we ordered the kiwi roll ($9.50), midori roll ($9.75) and the east sea roll ($11.00). I don't exactly remember all the features of each roll so I can't give comments on them individually. However, I do remember them being decent but none of the rolls were mind-blowing or exceptionally stood out.
The sushi and drink prices are great, which make Kobe a tempting visit. However, the quality just doesn't compare to some of the other sushi joints in the area that may charge a bit more but have better original rolls that go outside the box. Still, I'm sure that if we want a change from our usual sushi place this is one we will return to.
