I am a cheapskate. I readily admit to this, and it's personality flaw that led me to Kobe Sushi.
You see, I had a coupon that promised half-price sushi and the skinflint in me couldn't resist what I thought was a good deal. I should have listened to my inner skeptic instead.
The sushi here was mediocre. I had saba (mackerel), unagi (eel), kanpai roll and red dragon roll. The nigiri sushi was fine, but there's not much involved in putting a piece of fish on top of a lump of rice. The rolls were another story.
It seems this place is yet another "fusion" sushi joint. To me, "fusion" sushi equals cheap ingredients haphazardly thrown together, drowned in sauce and given a ridiculous name. And Kobe Sushi is no exception. I could only eat a couple of pieces of the kanpai roll. It had no flavor whatsoever, despite a generous slathering of mayo. The red dragon roll was a spicy tuna roll with tuna on top. The flavor was all spice and no tuna. I could tell the tuna had been previously frozen and had little if any flavor.
The only redeeming quality was the price. For $15, I left with a belly full of cheap but substandard sushi.
Note to self: Really good restaurants don't offer coupons. They don't have to.
