    Good Food, Fair Prices, But Needs Improvement We visited Kobe Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar with my daughter and husband. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. I had the Lychee Tini, which was well made. My daughter is vegetarian and appreciated the variety of sushi and vegetarian options. My husband ordered the steak, which he said was cooked perfectly. I chose the Sashimi Deluxe, featuring six kinds of chef-selected raw fish, and it was fresh and enjoyable, even including caviar. That said, the overall experience fell short of more than three stars. While the service was friendly, it was slow when it came to bringing our drinks. The decor and atmosphere feel outdated and sad, which does not match the quality of the food and takes away from the dining experience. With updated decor and more attentive service, this place could be much better. For now, it's an okay option for sushi and steak at a fair price, but not somewhere I would rush back to.

    Kobe is truly the best! We absolutely love both the sushi and hibachi and the service is unmatched. We continue to come back because we have never had a bad or even subpar experience!

    Hole-in-the-wall alert! So in a town (like so many towns) full of chain restaurants, I was delighted to stumble upon this gem. Like the Dr. Who phone box .... It's bigger on the inside. The full bar which you run into upon entering threw me off. I thought I walked into my neighborhood bar. When your eyes get used to the dark, you'll see that the sushi bar in the back and a happy hibachi on the other side of the wall. I didn't order the hibachi but it was the reason why I decided to go to this place. The hibachi menu is extensive and you can order from it...without the show.

    Small starter salad with hibachi combo, loved the dressing

The inside of the…read morerestaurant was tired and didn't have a very fresh smell- more like mop water that has sat in a bucket for too long. I ordered some vegetable sushi which was ok, nothing to write home about. My BF ordered some tuna & salmon and said it tasted a bit fishy. The vegetable gyoza were barely warm when they came out and extremely greasy. Not a place we would really stop in again unless we had nowhere else to eat.

    It's my first review of the year. I was craving sushi and found out that many of the nearby sushi…read moreplaces open late after 2 or 3ish. Sumo was the only one closeby open for lunch. I came in at 12 and the empty restaurant surprised me (remember this for later). I was seated and then went to the restroom. When I went into the restroom someone was in the stall so I used the urinal. ** The person in the stall leaves and I kid you not, dipped his hands in the water for less than 5 secs and left... *Remember I told you the restaurant was empty? It was an employee... Gross Anyway, large menu: but I'm basic and was craving something fresh and spider roll. I ordered a rainbow roll. When it came out, I was so shocked at how small it was. The spider roll was mostly filled with cucumbers and the rainbow roll fish slices must have been flattened to about a millimeter. I didn't even taste any soft shell crab other than fried tempura bits. The only positive was that because the roll was small there was less rice. My lunch came to $30. To be fair, I don't think it's bad chefs or bad server but more of a management issue bc I have worked in a sushi restaurant before where portion control was a thing. Long story short I left hungrier than when I came. I went to Wegmans and their sushi was sooo good. Like night and day. It hit the spot and was cheaper. Ambiance was quiet and dark and while waiting for a server to get my order I noticed an odd interaction at another table that came in. She [the server] was at the table about to take their order but delayed and told them to wait while she turn on the music bc it had turned off. It was just odd... I wasn't in a rush but was already turned off by the restroom event... Server was nice. But probably won't come back..

It's deconstructed, with flat bread pieces, steak on the side, whipped ricotta and onions on the side. We built it up, and it was soooooo good. Highly recommend! My main course was the gnochhi in red sauce with grilled chicken. It was flavorful, well seasoned. My husband had the special - a porkchop. It was very tender and well seasoned as well. Drinks were very good. It was fun to watch the bartenders and people watch. Can't wait to come back again! Service was pretty good as well.

    It's been quite some years since I've been back to Velvet Belly and boy am I glad to be back!…read more It wasn't even on my radar to try again until I was invited to go to a networking event in their private area upstairs. I had some delicious tapas during the event, but then wanted an actual meal afterwards. I sat at the bar and my bartender was hilarious and patient helping me figure out which drink to order. I ended up having the Healthy Kick which was absolutely delicious and refreshing. I love ginger and it was full of that spicy flavor that I like. For my meal, I had the almond crusted scallops, the halibut and the olive oil cake. If my stomach allowed me, I would've had the entire three course over again. Lots of excellent flavor with everything balancing each other as well as as a beautiful presentation. I will absolutely put this back in my rotation!

    I miss the bakery, maybe I am too biased?…read more This place was just pretentious and ridiculous. Portions are just so so miniscule. Thinnest sushi rolls I have ever seen. Normally they are $15, $10 at happy hour. Sushi nachos were worse than Nosh and again pretty small but not bad. Sushi tacos weren't tacos, they were just a few slices of fish and rice in a nori wrapper. Nothing was bad, but it was also not good. If I got that meal at Wegmans that would be about what I expect. I will say the the oysters were very large and probably a good spot for $1.. Nothing about this place was impressive to me, especially sitting at the bar for 30 minutes with my card sitting on the bill waiting for the bartender to cash us out. Tldr: pretentious, insanely overpriced, small portions, bland food, go to Wegmans.

We had a great server who unfortunately I cannot remember their name to shout out, but we got some delicious cuts of meat, veggies, and bao buns. As well as a heaping portion of white rice. I saw many people having Boba with their meals, and I almost ordered some, but I just couldn't figure out how they were able to drink Boba on top of eating all they can eat Korean barbecue. The side dishes that came with the meal were also delicious and I love that they gave you a mochi ice cream at the end. Overall, this one's a wonderful all you can experience and I would definitely come back again in the future.

If you really really are craving kbbq and are stuck in Rochester, maybe go for a visit? Sadly you will be disappointed either way.
