Clearwater Beach Sushi Roll
Jacqueline L.

Went here for the 1st time on Wednesday May 14th 2025 with my parents. We were looking for some dinner nearby the holiday inn express that we were staying at. This was within walking distance, and my dad wanted pizza, so we tried here. Note: this is also called CDB Pizza/Kobe's Italian. Basically sells pizza and Sushi and hibachi food. We arrived in the front, and someone greeted us and sat us at a booth that was actually near the bar. Server was a little slow to take our intial order, and refill waters, but she might have been the only one working in the restaurant, and we did notice that there was noise on the other side of the room, where a party was happening. However, that was okay because we also had to look over the menu options. Finally she came over, we got 3 waters and a personal pizza with sausage and brocolli. We then looked over the menu some more and decided on our entrees, which we ordered shortly after the appetizer. I ordered the Clearwater Beach Sushi Roll, my dad ordered shrimp and scallop hibachi, and my mom ordered veggie hibachi. Food came out in a timely manner- the pizza turned out really good and enjoyable- and we're from NY! I enjoyed my sushi! my parents also enjoyed their food and said that it was a good different for them. We left a cash tip, and paid via a credit card- oh and our waitress also made a mistake and said they don't charge for an extra topping on the pizza, but they did. She was polite about it and apologized though. Anyways, we enjoyed our food and it was different and may be back again if we are ever in the area again!

Happy hour 2011 and salmon roll
Kiara H.

What I came here I ordered the 2011 roll and the salmon roll for the happy hour. The sushi is half off, It is a really good deal. The service is great in the interior is gorgeous. They have fabulous paintings on the wall. They have great service the server kept coming back to see if I needed anything else and to refill my drink overall it was a 10 out of 10 experience. If you live in the area and you sushi had a good price I recommend you to go!

Miso, alongside salad with ginger dressing
William L.

Only one other couple in here when we arrived. Barkeep slash waitress seated us right away in a booth right behind the arse end of the bar. Our view was paper towel dispenser and condiments galore. All the cocktails and wines on their little list, BTW, are BOGO all day every day. One thing I can't stand about this joint is the awful, crappy alternative and Euro Tech music they play. I don't wanna feel like I'm sitting in a damn nightclub. I'm just too GD old and ornery for that kinda nonsense. I much prefer a dining experience than a trip to Studio 54 or the Twenty One Club, even when I still lived in NYC. Unagi sushi for Queen Bee and gyoza for me as apps. Very slight note of smoke in the fresh eel; pickled ginger and wasabi both quite tasty too. Queen Bee discarded most of her nondescript sushi rice. Blah! Gyoza, meantime, were quite flavorful lil parcels of porky pleasure. Dinner entree was Sake House Hibachi Dinner for 2. It comes with 2 miso and 2 salads, both of which were pretty good. Ginger dressing was a lil sweeter than what I'd expect but still not bad. Then all of a sudden, after we finished those.... I was/we were given a huge platter of food, which took up over a third of our decent sized table! Shrimp, scallops, beef, chicken all grilled and seasoned nicely. Alongside that was a mixed variety of veggies: broccoli, carrot, mushroom, onion, zucchini. Broccoli was limp and soggy but the rest was quite well prepared. Then there was a large mound of grilled noodles and somewhat bland mound of fried rice. We wound up with two take-out boxes for the large amount of leftovers. We finished the seafood there, as it doesn't travel or reheat well. Shrimp were good and those scallops were VERY good. Land side proteins tasted like they were grilled in soy sauce, which pretty much describes hibachi anyway. I didn't appreciate the crappy booth we got stuck in. Nor did I appreciate the loud acoustics in there. No ceiling per se; just black painted corrugated steel and exposed ductwork. Industrial chic is all the rage these days; I find it horrid. The horrible music and an extremely loud buffoon and his office pals were just around the corner from us at a bar table. I walked outta there with both a full tummy and a headache. The buffoon isn't the restaurant's fault. The headache, however, is. Service was relatively nondescript other than the waitress, who was a little pushy at the start. We reminded her twice that we weren't in a hurry; she finally got the hint. So I give three stars because of that and particularly for the horribly noisy environment even though there were only SEVEN patrons in the whole place. So I can't begin to imagine how noisy this dark, cavernous space (with big bar plopped dead center) becomes when the joint is full. Would we return again? I'd say not, despite fairly plentiful, fairly good food. I DO value my sense of hearing more highly than that! Kobe Italian: sayonara and ciao for now, if not forevermore. Oh, BTW: the Einsteins at Yelp gave me another badge for reviewing my third different Italian restaurant. There is NOTHING on their menu even remotely Italian other than the word "Italian." That's a-nice!

Sam and Lindy have such a great restaurant in Icot Center in Largo. Their food is excellent and full bar with an eclectic mix of food. Savannah is great also! They give such friendly and efficient service. It is a must go to place!

Rock In Shrimp Fried
Aubrey F.

Interesting place. It's Japanese and Italian. Definitely came for the sushi though. I ordered for pick up for NYE. Ordered a variety of items to try. I ordered the Rock In Shrimp Fried, Cheese Wontons, Shumai, and Hibachi Noodles. For sushi I ordered the 2011, NYC Roll, Jaguar, and the Tampa. The Rock In Shrimp Fried was just fried shrimp and no sauce. Not great and would not recommend. The Cheese Wontons were good and basic. Nothing special or different. The Shumai was fried. It was good. I've only ever had it steamed so it was different than what I am use to. The Hibachi Noodles were good. The yum yum sauce that comes with it was missing something. It was only runny. The 2011 roll is deep fried. It is salmon, cream cheese, avocado, spicy Mayo, eel sauce, and yummy sauce. The NYC Roll is yellowtail, cucumber, scallions, and smelt roe. The Jaguar roll is deep fried. It is eel, cream cheese, and avocado. The Tampa roll is fried grouper, onion, and Mayo. All of it was good except the NYC roll and the Rock In Shrimp. Would not recommend these two items.

Memorial weekend fun!

We really enjoy this pace! The staff is always nice & the food is delicious. Always willing to help & answer questions related to the menu or food. I am very picky about my Cosmos & in my opinion they make some of the best ones I have had!

Filet mignon and scallops hibachi with steamed potstickers. Potstickers were cold!
Beth W.

I don't recommend. We got a Groupon and more than half of the menu wasn't usable with the Groupon. Ginger salad was really good. Sushi was decent, but Ginger and wasabi looked old and dried out. My hubby & I both got Filet Mignon Hibachi ($25-$26 each) definitely not a quality meat, meat was torn apart and for the price, not good. I got mine with scallops which were sandy. Hot green tea was luke-warm at best. Menu we're sticky and the whole dining room felt a bit dirty. I really wanted to love it.

Pinot Grigio
Rosa M.

I have been coming here for over 6 years and have never been disappointed. The avocado boat lunch is absolute perfection. It is a peeled half avocado filled with sashimi grade salmon, tuna, and white tuna garnished with sprouts and dressed with ponzu sauce. The price is only $9.99 for this delightfully healthy and yummy meal! I strongly suggest you give it a try!

Scallop Hibachi, Soup and Salad
Melissa T.

We came in on a Groupon. The moment I walked in, I was immediately put off by the environment. It's dark, dingy, with bright spot lights As soon as we sat down we noticed how it smelled, seats weren't clean, floors dirty, and menus were sticky. There was 2 different dance music songs playing? There was only one other couple so service was good. When my salad came some of the lettuce was slimy. My daughters rolled silverware napkin was soaked in something. At this point Im nervous to eat anything. We did get Hibachi. It was just okay. We only had a few bites. Also, they don't do Hibachi on certain nights but that's why we got the Groupon. Paid $18 for Groupon. The bill was $32 after $25 off. Very disappointed in Groupon and this restaurant. Looks like it was much better a few years ago according to the reviews of 2017. Really was excited to come. Wanted to love it.

The service is slow, the food is good. It stinks you cannot call in an order and the online method is cumbersome.

My daughter was craving hibachi for dinner last night so we decided to come to Kobé since it was…read moreclose & neither of us had been here in a while. The hostess was really nice & we were initially told it would be about a 35 minute wait, in actuality we waited a little over 10 minutes before we were seated which was fantastic! The server & the chef were both great & we both really enjoyed our time. The server made sure we had everything we needed before the chef came out, & the chef was very entertaining during the whole experience. I got a beer & a glass of plum wine & my daughter got one of the boba drinks. The onion soup & the house salad tasted great, I also got the Tuna Tataki as an appetizer. The tuna was fresh & the seaweed salad underneath paired great with the sauce, definitely going to get that again. For our main courses I did the sirloin & teriyaki chicken, & my daughter did the sirloin & shrimp. Everything was cooked perfectly & the chef did not skimp on the portions, we had plenty leftover to bring home afterwards.

Three solid eaters worked hard to knock Kuchi on its side today - one who runs ten miles a day, another who does recreational weight lifting and yours truly. The layout and display of sushi at Kuchi is attractive. Super easy raw fish to load up on plates including oysters, shrimp, nigiri rolls, maki rolls and so much more. And that's just the sushi area. They also have a section of cooked hibachi and Chinese buffet styled foods. I definitely ate my fill. All of it fresh, tasty and plenty of it. A real delight.

I feel I wasted my money and Fake pictures of "their food" on the walls and the website?? Very misleading. Very confusing. Eel sauce and spicy mayo = disgusting, inedible, literally lost my appetite after I ate them. Miso soup too. Everything just tasted old and rancid. I literally got sick after eating... my stomach was tore up. Hibachi super mid, no flavor. Dry. Overcooked proteins. Supposedly there's a new menu coming out this Friday? Then will they be serving the pictures on the wall and on the website? Maybe invite my friend and I back for this "new menu" and I could write a hopefully updated review. Service was good so still gave her 20% tip because it's not her fault the food was absolutely terrible and made us sick...
