Oysters
Nathan B.

Kobe Sushi Buffet $26 (Dinner pricing) for one person; tipped $4 to the sushi chefs and $6 to the waiter. Pretty average buffet. Place has been around for awhile, so expectations were about low to medium. I got seated at the bar where the floating boats of sushi floated by. You have to wave down or walk up to a waiter if you want something. There's a menu if you ask where it's included in the buffet that comes out made to order. I ate the Volcano roll and Salmon Skin Handroll from the menu, and I enjoyed it. Anything on the floating boats are average. I only like coming when it's busy so there's constant fresh nigiri and rolls on them. I only recommend the dinner time selections. The hot buffet has some solid selections, but I grabbed oysters mainly. In total I ate 14 plates from the floating boats, 2 salmon skin hand rolls, 8 oysters, and 1 Volcano roll. 3/5 stars for what it is, not bad but also not good.

1/2 I've been to Kobe Sushi Buffet many times in the past, but this was the last straw. I hadn't been here in a while and decided to give it another chance. Big mistake. The sushi boats still look cool, but that's about the only positive. Nearly everything was California roll-based, with little variety. Some of the sushi even tasted old, which is concerning. The hot buffet area was just as disappointing--no chicken skewers! Those were always my go-to here, and they're gone. What used to be a dependable spot has really gone downhill. Mediocre food, little variety, and missing the items that used to make it worth the trip. Sadly, this will be my last visit.

I paid $24 for dinner buffet here and honestly had a very disappointing experience. The rice was cold, not Japanese rice, and it lacked the proper vinegar taste that sushi rice should have. The fish and toppings were not fresh, and anyone with a sensitive stomach or weak health should really avoid eating raw items here. The hot foods were only warm, not hot, and the soup was extremely sour and unpleasant. I waited a long time for oysters, but when they arrived, they were very fishy-smelling and cold. About 10 minutes after eating, I started feeling nauseous, had stomach pain, and experienced full-body muscle aches, similar to food poisoning symptoms. Fortunately, I vomited shortly after, which may have prevented the situation from becoming worse. I strongly recommend that people with weak digestion or health issues do not eat here, and do not bring children, as their bodies are more sensitive. If you still decide to come, it is safer to eat only fully cooked and hot foods. Overall, this was not a good experience, and I would not return.

Wow, I was so impressed with the uniqueness of this place! I've been to conveyor belt sushi places…read morebefore but this is the first time I have seen individual hot pots with accompaniments coming to you on a conveyor belt! What a great concept!! Everyone is seated with their own individual hot pot plate to build their own individual hot pot. (Don't worry it does not burn). You choose your basic soup broth, choose the meat you would like, and then start grabbing things off the conveyor belts! It not only is a fun concept, you can get quite creative with how you build your hot pot and choose just the things to your liking. I was amazed that they had very authentic Chinese ingredients to choose from - wood ear, enoki mushrooms, bok choy, different kinds of noodles, fish balls, Napa cabbage, octopus, and lots of different varieties of selfish, plus much much more! I chose the traditional broth and they even had Chinese red dates in it plus wolfberries (sometimes known as Goji berries) in the broth just like what I grew up with The service was just ok, since it was our first time there we had to ask a lady to show us what we were supposed to do. She was helpful, but the servers don't come around very often. That said, the plates and dishes clutter up really fast and they don't come around very often to clear the dishes, for which I would have taken a star off. But my experience there with conveyor belt hot pot was so nice that I'm leaving it at five stars. What I liked best besides the authentic ingredients, is that you can become quite creative to build your own hot pot to your own liking.

4+ Really enjoyed my…read moreexperience at this place. This is a fantastic spot for a fun, interactive hot pot experience. The conveyor belt setup makes grabbing your favorite sides easy. Love having my own individual pot and personalizing my broth and spice level. The meat is fresh (1 meat at a time), and the DIY sauce station. Price is reasonable too when you go at lunchtime. Waitress is super nice too.

Food was good, fast service, will have to come for dinner…read more Returned from a small craft pop-up... Was starving tried to think of where to go on that side of town coming from Hughson.. not many choices so we decided on The Fruit Yard... I had 1/2 BLT, fries, fried pickles... my children's grandmother had breakfast... made me want to have breakfast... it's always hard to decide... the BLTA was good, on sourdough... I wanted French onion but they don't have that... oher wise I would have opted for chicken noodle.. they didnt have that either... oh well

I love The Fruit Yard! It has been a while since we dined here. I ordered the beef lasagna to go…read more It came with a bowl of soup or salad, my choice. I don't like clam chowder, but since it was Friday, that is all they had. So, I got it for my son. I really wish restaurants would serve more than one type of soup on Friday, if they're going to have clam chowder, as it is my least favorite. The lasagna was delicious, however, I thought the price was very high, and they charged me a fee for a to go order: $1.50. For a total of $27.50!! Not a bargain. They were packed. The parking lot and inside the restaurant were full! It was a Friday night. They gave me my order pretty fast, and the hostess was friendly. The ambiance is beautiful outside. They have ducks, hens, and roosters running free. I love to feed the birds, it is my favorite part of going to The Fruit Yard.
