Went in for lunch with my wife and the place was almost empty, which set the tone early. Service was below expectations. Our waitress didn't understand the menu or the difference between sashimi and nigiri. I ordered the Sashimi Deluxe and was served nigiri along with a roll. To their credit, the manager stepped in and corrected it. Food quality was average at best. The sashimi itself was a C--nothing terrible, but not fresh or high quality enough to justify a return visit. One additional concern--there were empty food supplier containers sitting outside along the side of the building, which doesn't give a great impression from a cleanliness standpoint. Overall: Below average experience. Between service issues, food quality, and presentation, I wouldn't recommend it. --Ryan read more

If I could give this business zero stars I would. I was by myself waiting 20 minutes waiting to be helped ,no one did .they were not busy, shocker. Which I had to walk back to ask if I could sit at sushi bar. I couldn't it was covered in boxes they told to I had to sit at the bar to the right. I waited for awhile and then was asked for water. The bar was so dirty I asked for it to be wiped down I was so nice said thank you. The girl rolled her eyes.She said it was just water ,it was not, it was filth. The waitress Bridget L asked what I wanted with an attitude like I was doing a disservice in being there. She never serviced me ,she was so rude when I asked about specials that she didn't know about and asked her to check when she came back she said no I didn't check.why is this lady working here?!!!Never helped me was rude and unhelpful, barely even spoke to her. What a joke. She should not work In the service industry. She's absolutely terrible. I complained about one roll i ordered tastes rotten and I wanted one roll removed I would pay for the rest and this lady that claimed to be a manager told me to leave . When I went to leave ,she said she would call the cops if I didn't pay. Make up your mind lady. Should I stay or should I go?! I said I wanted to pay and you if the one roll was removed and she refused again. She is a head case. I tried to pay for everything else a she berated and yelled at me . She continued to threaten me and said they don't do that.. can't send back food because I didn't like it. I told her again it tasted rotten and I spit it out. You can see on the pictures below baked scallop roll where I spit it out. She also said if you don't like it it's not our problem. The last time I checked if its rotten ,im not going pay. . I proceeded to tell her I would not pay for rotten food. She fought a lot, was so terrible never experienced this in my life. . I started recording her because it was so crazy she said I was yelling the entire time, which I never did. I was on the phone with my boss who heard everything . I never did what she claimed was I was so nice and polite . MANAGERS AND OWNERS CHECK THE VIDEO RECORDINGS YOUR YOU HAVE SERIOUS LIABILITIES WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES ,I WAS TRYING TO PEACEFUL PAY AND LEAVE. Instead I got screamed at. I was there at 7/14 at 17:21:03. I also was throwing up afterwards because the food was rotten. Never in my life have I been threatened and disrespected in a restaurant. This place is a total disgrace and health hazard which I will report to the health board . The acclaimed manager could have just refunded me one roll instead of being combative. The waitress Bridget L is terrible and should never work in customer service again.. this dirty and unethical place needs to get shutdown. Do not ever come here. TERRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE. read more

Day 1 - walked from the hotel, sat down, the waitress brought a cup of water and the menu. 20 minutes later she stopped by to take my order. The food came out at a reasonable time. Then (and I kid you not) took 31 min 52 sec (because I timed it) before she came back. There were only 11 people in the whole entire restaurant. Day 2 - was working late, walked to the restaurant (which closes at 9pm) I was there in the door at 8:21pm, restaurant was completely empty except for one family that was finishing their dinner. Some douche bag kid, with a lama haircut, asked if I was picking up food, I said No. Then he tells me that they stop sitting people down at 8pm. Showed me to the door and with a stupid smile on his face said "out, thank you" Forgot to mention, on day-1 all the gnats that were flying around the soy sauce (personally, I asked for a fresh one) Anywho, this is my first negative review on the service and cleanliness. The food was Good but please straighten up your kid and your staff! I acknowledge the situation, and the family with the lama haircut kid were probably the owners. read more

Kobe Sushi + Bar - Restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

This place was right next to my hotel and I thought I'd avoid it so I can explore the rest of the area. I did, I came back, and I shouldn't have avoided it in the first place. It was great. When I stepped in it was an hour away from closing time, and no one was in. I was the only person there, yet they were already cleaning and stacking the chairs... an hour prior to closing. Quickly, I got to ordering. All at the same time, I ordered the Super Volcano ($18.50), Oregon ($17.75), and a beer. Both were very delicious, I'd say the super volcano was a little big and harder to eat, but still good. Aside from ordering, and delivery of the food/drink, and check, I didn't see any staff. It was a cold, strange vibe. But good food though. read more

I have dined at Kobe multiple time and it always seems like without fail they just can't seem to get it right. The food is decent but the customer service is so slow and leaves a lot to be desired. Today may have been the final straw, I placed and online paid order and was advised it would be a 20 min wait. Went in at the scheduled time and waited another 35 minutes after my scheduled pickup time - watched multiple pickups placed after mine come in and out. Finally got my food but with no apology or explanation it's hard to want to come back. read more

Service was great, and the beer was ice cold--which seems surprisingly rare these days and was a nice touch. We tried the shrimp tempura roll, Hawaiian roll, and wontons, and everything was delicious. It's a little more expensive than I'd typically prefer, but still worth the stop. I can't really compare it to other sushi restaurants in the area, but we had a great experience and would definitely come back. read more

Spicy California was delicious, Spicy Girl roll was a little rice heavy and could use a little more flavor but overall both were tasty and fresh read more

Yeah so the reviews are accurate. We walked in when the hostess seated us she kind of threw the menus down and walked away. We waited over 10 minutes for water. She was nice enough but everything she sat on the table we had to set up ourselves, plates etc. the sushi was ok. A lot of rice and not a lot of flavor per se. I would pass on coming here. read more

Was looking for asian food while traveling through the Mt. Hood area of Oregon and this place popped up. The food was okay, nothing stood out all that much. Although I found it really nice that they have such a large selection of items across many different cuisines on their menu. read more

I found this place after being turned away from Okalani. It was 40 minutes before closing, so I wasn't sure they would seat me (because Okalani was "closed" 1 hour prior to their posted closing time). They did and I ordered the salmon platter. Plenty of food including 3 huge slabs of salmon sashimi. The food was delicious! I'm a huge salmon fan and this was high up on my list. The only thing I would mark down on was when I ordered a Sapporo beer, the waiter repeated to me in a non-Japanese pronunciation...at least try to say it properly! read more

I like this place but disappointed sitting out front after it says it's open. They should update opening time if it's wrong. Got my hopes up, now I got to settle with fast food or something. read more

My parents and I came here the other day for dinner in Hood River and enjoyed our meal! The servers were friendly and helpful, and the ambiance was laid back and light. The restaurant has these big beautiful windows that look out towards the river front which was lovely as we were seated at a table by the windows! We enjoyed the food we ordered and the portions were generous - definitely good for sharing! read more

Just so everyone knows, 7 or more people have 18% added gratuity that they don't disclose, but "a few" of the menus say it. The food is good but we arrived at 6:30 and we're leaving at 9 with only have had a few bites, because after so long we wanted to leave and asked for our food to go. They said thank you for our patience but our patience was running very thin at hour 2. I talked to the manager about them not disclosing the gratuity and she wrote it off saying some menus do disclose and she figured someone would see it even though most of our party was children. Anyways, meh service, good food, even though it wasn't fresh, people who arrived after us got their food before us, and a very long wait. Edit: we also asked for soy sauce packets when we were leaving and just got home, no soy sauce. read more

The sushi here was really good, however the service was incredibly slow. We ordered four rolls, edamame, and some pineapple fried rice chicken. We got one roll a good 10 minutes after the other ones. And, unfortunately, had to wait 30 minutes for our pineapple fried rice and it didn't even have chicken. It was overcooked shrimp. And raisins???? This spot seems like it's a beloved spot, we're just visiting. But it was the slowest service we've ever had. We were here 2 hours just because of all the waiting we had to do. We waited 10 mins for seating (not bad), then another 10 just to order. And like I said, we were long done with our sushi when they told us the FIRST time that our rice was running behind. The second time the server apologized profusely. That was almost 30 minutes all together. And we ordered it the same time as our sushi. The server gave us a small discount and some complimentary mochi ice cream. Which was not like normal mochi at all. It was crumbly instead of gummy. But, we appreciated the gesture. It seems like they were severely under staffed for a busy Sunday night. The two servers could barely keep up with cleaning, waiting, and hosting. I felt bad for them. The owners should definitely get more help for the weekends. read more

Kobe Sushi + Bar - Hawaii Roll and spicy tuna roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

This sushi was so unbelievably fresh! We got a few different rolls, including spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spicy yellow tail, and this beautiful rainbow roll! We also got the avocado salad. Definitely definitely recommend that! If you're a big fan of avocado with your sushi, I would certainly order one of these the avocado was so beautifully ripe, perfect texture, great flavor and so fresh! The staff was so friendly and overall we just had a really good time! This place is so cute and as soon as I came into town, this was one of the first buildings that I passed and I was so excited to try it! Definitely did not disappoint. I can't wait to come back. read more

Patty was our server and she provided excellent service! The food was great, sushi is always fresh and delicious. Will return!

Good food and even better service. Patty was our server, she went above and beyond to explain the menu and gluten free options. Would definitely recommend eating here. read more

I love how close this restaurant is to the Hood River Event Site. Spend the day on the water then relax and enjoy some delicious sushi. I ordered the Chirashi bowl which is sashimi over rice. They were generous with the sashimi and the rice. I ate at the bar and Sergio the bar tender was very friendly and helpful. I will keep going back! read more

the buddha roll was so yummy & the plain avocado cucumber one was also amazing. i do wish they had sesame balls but i was pleased with the edamame. we got takeout so hard to say how the service or ambiance was. read more

We were stating at the Hampton Inn so it is about 75ft door to door. I'll start with the only bad. Menu says ask about our tap beer as the change frequently. So, "what do you have on tap? Just Kirin, we might get a delivery tomorrow " Now, the food was amazing. Fresh, good portions, beautifully presented and worth it. Servuce was good, not great but they were busy. Indoor and patio dinning. Full bar and sushi bar. I saw the stuffed baked mussels at the table next to us and I wanted to grab one!!! Definitely recommend!! read more

We came here with family, it was their pick. For fairness they ordered Udon noodles, didn't seem to know much about sushi. We are purists. We prefer rolls that aren't deep fried or contain deep fried components. This proved to be a challenge as the menu is pages long with nothing but fried items. The condition of the menus was so bad. White out over prices some prices weren't on there at all. Print new menus!!!!! We ordered a Rainbow Roll, Hamachi Jalapeño, Godzilla and one I don't remember the name. It had hamachi, salmon and something else inside and 3-4 tobiko's on top, all were good. Service was super friendly. However if you are a sushi purist like us I would go to the other sushi place I reviewed in Hood River instead. read more

There are not many places here in Hood River to get good Asian food. This happens to be one of them not only do they make sushi, but they offer a few Thai dishes as well. The basil chicken is excellent as is the sushi that we got they even have vegetarian sushi options read more

What a find! If you crave sushi, sashimi and rolls, you will love this place. And if you are like me, and don't eat raw or semi cooked fish, there are plenty of other delicious options! For my first visit, I had the Japanese udon noodles, the soup dente noodles with a perfect chew were are sautéed with cabbage, thin slices of carrots, scallions and broccoli. For extra protein, I added chicken which was tender and delicious. For this meal alone, I'm so happy that I discovered this place! I would order this again in a minute. For us. In sushi lovers, they also offer teriyaki and bento boxes, chicken katsu, General Tso's chicken, Pad Thai, orange chicken, udon soup, tempura, goyza, fried rice, - just to name a few! Point is, there are options. I've passed Kobe Sushi & Bar so many times driving on I-84, their sign high on the building next to Hampton Inns. After a walk along the river and watching the sunset, I decided to stop in, not wanting to cook dinner that late. So glad I did! The restaurant is actually street level and there are several tables outside on the sidewalk with great views of the river. Lots of great appetizers, inventive cocktails, and yes, for you sushi lovers, a vast variety of rolls, including fried rolls. Lots of sashimi options, too. Note that the crab and lobster is imitation and noted on menu. Take exit 64 off I-84 and head towards the river. Worth the stop, especially in a town that has few decent Asian food options! I'll definitely be back. read more

To be honest, I have no idea how there are so many fantastic reviews. Our lunch here was... disappointing. It must have been her first day, but it was apparent that she had no support from the rest of the staff. The ordering process was painful and the food took forever to come out. The rolls were also pretty bad quality. None of it tasted fresh and honestly was hard to even finish the sushi.. which is saying a lot for someone who loves sushi. read more

Placed an order via their online order method. Once confirmed it said 26 minutes. We got there at 30 and the order still wasn't ready, we then stood in the tiny waiting area for an additional 30 minutes. We didn't get addressed by the staff and once we did all they said was the order wasn't ready and that was it. It was busy inside and clearly a popular place but it would've been nice to know the true wait time or have the change in wait time communicated to us so we could've left and come back. It took an hour for our food in the end. Concerning our food, the edamame was passable but bland, and sushi was yummy but we got no soy sauce in our stapled shut to go bag. The orange chicken was not good but the broccoli was gross. P.f. Chang's frozen chicken is better. Overall not worth it for the price. read more

This place hands down has the best sushi in Oregon. Way better than bamboo which in my opinion is way overpriced for mediocre sushi. If you want the freshest and highest quality sushi without breaking the bank, COME HERE! The owner and wait staff here are super friendly! Also this is the perfect date spot with an amazing view of the river! This is such a gem in Hood River will without a doubt be back! read more

I was in Hood river and wanted to try a newer place just for some variety . I generally stick to my tried and tested favorites but the reviews looked good and we came in for a late lunch .Very convenient location right of I-84 and there is an open parking lot right next to the restaurent .The place is bright and cheery with cute wall murals and a nice view . Our server was really nice and walked us through the various options . The menu is really big and there was a lot of variety. For a person who loves most sushi place -the sushi was below mediocre for both me & my husband. This is what an American version of sushi is -fried , drenched in sauces and just an overall very heavy meal.. We got - Dynamite Fiji Kobe We also got a hot sake to go with our meal and honestly that's the only thing I liked . Perhaps the other menu items are better because I saw most other customers eating Udon or Ramen . The Sushi here is a no for me. Pricing was alright . read more

The food is the highlight at this restaurant. Our group of 7 had a variety of plates ranging from sushi, to miso, to yakisoba and teriyaki. All were acceptable and tasty- chicken teriyaki is VERY sweet(not my favorite). The biggest CON of this restaurant is the staff. Our group made a reservation for 2 hours before closing. We got water right away, but then we waited and waited. There were two other small groups but the restaurant was not close to full. We counted at least 7 servers, 4 cooks, a bartender and 2 hostesses. We waited 20 minutes for our server to arrive, we ordered drinks and food. We then waited 30 more minutes for 4 simple drinks( shot/soda, a beer, whiskey/seven and a martini), and I had to ask the waiter for updates twice. We saw our sushi sitting in the window for 15 minutes before it was brought to us. After we received the food, we were not spoken to again after that, until I had to wave down our wait person for the check. Basically, pretty good food being ruined by terrible service. read more

Sushi is okay at best, customer service pretty bad. There's something weird between waiter/waitress sections.

It was nice to enjoy our dinner here. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. 8 pieces of California roll and chicken with rice made a good combination.

Will try to revisit soon. read more

Sergio is the worlds greatest bartender and an equally awesome young man. The fish at this place is superior to any other sushi in town, prices are reasonable, and as someone who usually puts away 2-3 rolls, 1 here is filling. But truly, beyond the quality and taste, it's my guy Sergio that makes this the spot. Will be back every time Im in town. Hopefully next time in the daylight to enjoy the riverfront view. Pro tip: stay at the Hampton Inn next door for a discount on sushi read more

Do yourself a big favor. Run, don't walk, to order the paradise roll here. SO good, loaded with fish, and absolutely delicious. For the price, these rolls were an absolute steal, especially given the pricey options around Hood River. I'll admit we came here on hour 4 of our 5 hour drive home so we were starving and would've been happy with just about anything, but this place was such a pleasant surprise. Next time I'm back in Hood River, I hope a paradise roll is waiting for me... it sure tastes like paradise! read more
