    Chicken hibachi and sesame shrimp.

    Food was great. Sesame shrimp and hibachi chicken 10/10. Also got sushi but I forgot the name. Everything was pretty good. Service was good too.

    My son treated me to a dinner here recently...and we noticed some big changes. Since last time here (not too long ago), they added these big, comfy booths in the middle of the restaurant. Also, they added some spooktacular Halloween decor! We stopped in around 6:30 pm on Monday night, and was able to slide right into a seat with no wait. We ordered 2 apps, Crab Rangoon and Shrimp Tempura...and both were really good. In fact, my son thought it was possibly the best Rangoon he's ever had. Shrimp Tempura was super-crispy...and there were 5 big strips. Yum!! For our mains, I just got this sushi roll, "Hottie Roll". It was pretty good, but somewhat basic. Nothing like the rolls I tried the very first time here (see pics from my 1st visit...WOW??). My son got this Chicken Teriyaki rice dish, and he told them to take out the veggies (*SIGH*). He seemed to enjoy his dish. Overall, we both enjoyed our meal...and found the restaurant very relaxing and accommodating. Honestly, I was most impressed on my first visit...with their chef-inspired sushi presentation. I think that was the master sushi chef for this restaurant? Still, there's no better place in Rock Hill that offers such a comprehensive sushi menu, as well as a wide variety of rice dishes...and even ramen.

    Great food and different choices which we loved the variety. I love the atmosphere and the servers were attentive. We will be back!

    Crab rangoon

    After drinking some wine next door at the nail salon, I decided I needed to get some food in my belly. The person at the salon said the food at Kobe was good, so I decided to try it out. It was December so they had a nice Christmas tree in their lounge area located next to the bar at their front entrance. The crab rangoon was excellent. Very crispy. The dynamite chicken was just ok. It was pretty flavorless and the chili spice I asked for didn't help much. It was disappointing that I got a coke for $3 and was never offered a refill. I ran out. The atmosphere is typical bar like. They do have regular tables to sit at. I would try it again, I may have just ordered the wrong thing to be impressed.

    Was in the area on business so decided to dive into the fast growing Rock Hill sushi scene by giving the highest rated spot a try during lunchtime. Decided to start with some Nigiri (Hotate, Madai, Unagi, Ikura) to get a feel for the quality and flavor of the fish and rice and overall, the fish wasn't bad or anything, but also didn't have much flavor as it was just kinda eh. From there, I decided to try a couple of rolls to get a feel for presentation, taste and quality, so I went with Black Dragon and 911. Again, nothing bad to say, but to me, the rolls were basic level, similar to something one would find at Sushi 101, Mr Tokyo or a comparable mid-level type spot. The rolls weren't built very well as they broke apart easily and didn't have much in the way of overall taste but again, I will say that the service was really friendly and attentive, with my water glass being filled consistently which is a always a huge plus in my book, so that takes the rating from a 2.5 to a 3. Given the area, I didn't have high expectations, and for Rock Hill, this is a totally passable spot, but in my view, as long as you don't go into it expecting authentic Japanese, you will be fine. I see lots of high reviews, so ultimately I say judge for yourself, but given my love for sushi (as evidenced by my reviews), I can't in good conscience give this a higher rating as that would do justice to the handful of places in the Charlotte and surrounding area that are legitimately 4 star establishments, as grading on a curve due to location wouldn't be fair in my opinion. With that said, the service was welcoming and friendly, and it is a relatively decent option given the area, so don't be afraid to check it out and judge for yourself.

    The sushi was excellent! Super fresh and delicious. Hibachi was fantastic too. Best spring rolls I've ever had. The only complaint I have is not with the food but the very inattentive waiter on a not busy Thursday evening after 8pm. Food was A+ but service was a C at best. I'm looking forward to returning and trying other menu items.

    This is a really nice spot! Service is great. The Godzilla roll was delicious! Only thing was I wish it had three more pieces of sushi because I was still hungry afterwards. The pieces are quite thin.

    Hibachi choice 2- sirloin steak and shrimp.

    The restaurant is clean and has great ambiance. Hostess and waitress (Ella) were extremely friendly and made us feel at home. Food was served hot and very delicious. Our friends have been here several times and recommended it to us for his birthday. We will be back and pricing is reasonable.

    Salad w ginger dressing. Samaria roll and dragon roll no spicy mayo! Yummy

    Service excellence, friendly , presentation beautiful and delicious samurai roll w no spicy mayo. Green Dragon delivers excellent taste along with hot green tea. So great.

    My son found this place and was always bragging about it. He brought his mother and myself here so that we could try it for ourselves, and "BOY" am I glad we did! May I say the food and drinks were excellent along with the service. The flavors and food presentations were outstanding. The Chef's are true artisans. To go along with the complete dining experience, Ella and the rest of the wait staff have always gone above and beyond expectations each and every time that we have come back. They genuinely care and understand the concept of real customer service. From the greetings at the door until the "Thank You's" as you leave. This is truly our new favorite spot, as we have celebrated my son's birthday here as well as put it into our regular dining rotation. I have nothing but high recommendations and assurances that you won't be disappointed.

    We love Kobe!! The food is always phenomenal and, more so, the staff is phenomenal. We have quickly become regulars and love the speciality rolls. Each time we visit the staff remember us and always go above and beyond, specifically for our one year old who they have dubbed Sweet Carrot Baby.

I got the Cuban flatbread, daughter artichoke spinach potstickers and my wife the salmon salad. Everybody loved it. Brandy was our server and was great. We eat out a lot and honestly the food at a lot of places has gotten worse over last few years... higher prices worse food. Kounter restored my faith back in the restaurant industry. They still care and it was a deal. Anytime we are near we will go out of our way yo stop back in. Want to go to dinner next time! Blaine

    An amazingly creative menu at this small southern town eatery. Reason is that the…read moreowner/creator/chef come into town having been awarded a Michelin Star. That kind of chef and it shows in the food. Fried Ribs ($14) appetizer is a decent sized, four rib, main course plate. These ribs are fried and are delicious with a mild BBQ sauce on them. Totally yummy. For a side I had a substantial bowl of collard greens ($6), done perfectly. Wife had the meat loaf ($15) which was two large hamburger-sized pieces, wrapped in bacon and with a delicious sauce. She did not share them with me. One of those pieces came home with us. Continual iced tea was served for $2. A bit of history is in the hallway of the Kounter building. Nine Black college students served nearly 30 days detention on a prison farm after staging a sit-in at this South Carolina Whites-only restaurant in 1961. On a visit to Kounter in December, I was told by a waiter it's not uncommon to see some of the Friendship 9 eating at the restaurant. Drop by to ogle the menu and take in the historical display. Very interesting and a good insight as to where black people were back then.
